Brewers' upcoming pitching schedule indicates Kyle Harrison role change is coming

Kyle Harrison's effectiveness has declined significantly since returning from a left forearm injury in early August, prompting the Milwaukee Brewers to consider a role change for the 25-year-old left-hander. His ERA jumped from 3.01 in his first 17 starts to 5.67 over six starts after his return, with his fastball showing reduced velocity and movement. Manager Pat Murphy confirmed Harrison will pitch this weekend in some capacity but won't receive a normal starter's workload, as the team explores whether shorter stints can restore his performance before the postseason.
