Brewers' grueling August schedule forces difficult bullpen roster decision

The Brewers face a grueling August schedule with 17 games in 17 days featuring two West Coast road trips, forcing difficult roster decisions. To manage their young starting pitchers' workload, Milwaukee implemented a six-man rotation with Kyle Harrison and Dustin May, but this reduced their bullpen to seven arms instead of the typical eight. The team designated reliever Bryse Wilson for assignment despite his strong recent performance, posting a 2.63 ERA with 13.2 innings pitched over the last month, to make room for fresh arm Lyon Richardson.
