Reviewing the BrewBrewers' upcoming pitching schedule reveals continuation of recent rotation strategy
The Milwaukee Brewers will continue their six-man rotation for one more cycle before moving Shane Drohan back to the bullpen, according to beat writer Curt Hogg. The team adopted the six-man rotation after acquiring Dustin May at the trade deadline and activating Kyle Harrison from the injured list, allowing them to manage workload for young arms during a grueling stretch of games. While the rotation has helped protect their young pitchers from excessive innings, it has strained the bullpen, forcing the team to briefly lose reliever Bryse Wilson to waivers before he re-signed. Misiorowski, Harrison, Henderson, and May are locked into the rotation for the remainder of the season and postseason, with Gasser securing the final spot for now.

The move allowed Milwaukee to add fresh arms to their relief corps while retaining Wilson in the organization rather than losing him to another team.

Both Wilson and Richardson are out of options and can elect free agency whenever they clear waivers.
