Brewers Place José Quintana on IL as Trevor Megill’s Return Turns Uncertain

Milwaukee turns to internal options as postseason roster decisions near.

Overview

  • Quintana went on the 15-day injured list with a left calf strain, a backdated move that effectively ends his regular season.
  • Manager Pat Murphy said All-Star closer Trevor Megill felt soreness after a live session during rehab for a right flexor strain, leaving his timetable unclear.
  • Reliever Nick Mears was activated from the injured list to take Quintana’s roster spot after recovering from a back issue.
  • Robert Gasser threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings in a Triple-A rehab outing and could be deployed in a multi-inning role, Murphy said.
  • Chad Patrick has shown late-season promise since his Sept. 9 call-up, giving the Brewers another depth option for high-leverage or multi-inning needs.
