Where things stand
Robert Gasser came off the bench to replace injured starter Dustin May in a recent game against the Mets, disrupting his scheduled Sunday start against Texas. The left-hander has been underperforming this season and faces potential demotion as the Brewers consider calling up Triple-A prospect Coleman Crow to fill a rotation spot. Gasser currently holds the final rotation spot in Milwaukee's six-man rotation, though the team may make changes as it navigates a demanding late-season stretch.

Robert Gasser coverage
Brewers' Dustin May exits start against Mets with injury after one pitch
Brewers starter Dustin May was hit by a line drive off the bat of Mets leadoff hitter A.J. Ewing on the first pitch of the game and exited after throwing just one pitch. May was diagnosed with a right scapula contusion, though X-rays came back negative. Left-hander Robert Gasser replaced May on the mound, disrupting the Brewers' rotation plans as Gasser was scheduled to start Sunday against Texas.
Reviewing the BrewColeman Crow's recent Triple-A success should have Brewers considering late-season rotation change
The Brewers face rotation decisions down the stretch with Robert Gasser underperforming and Shane Drohan moving to the bullpen. Coleman Crow, a 25-year-old rookie, has posted an 18.2-inning scoreless streak in Triple-A across three consecutive starts of at least six shutout innings, making him a candidate to fill a rotation spot. Milwaukee enters a demanding 16-game stretch in 16 days against teams including the Cubs, and could use additional depth as Brandon Woodruff's return timeline of five weeks makes him unlikely to impact the regular season. The team may call up Crow in September when rosters expand or potentially demote Gasser to make room.
Reviewing the BrewShane Drohan's surprise relief appearance won't impact Brewers' upcoming rotation plans
The Milwaukee Brewers plan to continue using a six-man rotation for at least one more cycle before shifting Shane Drohan to a long-relief role, as he approaches his career high of 129 innings. Drohan's surprise relief appearance on Tuesday, where he pitched two scoreless innings, was simply a way to delay his next start rather than signal an end to the six-man rotation strategy. The Brewers adopted the six-man rotation during a grueling stretch of 17 games in 17 days and have maintained it with recent additions Dustin May and Kyle Harrison joining the rotation alongside Misiorowski, Henderson, Gasser, and Drohan.
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.
