McCullers Must Start in Relief for Injured Brewers

A Shocking Shift for a Veteran Ace

Lance McCullers Jr. won't start for the Milwaukee Brewers. Nope. He's hitting the bullpen instead.

With the second-best record in the majors, the Brewers are facing a staff injury crisis that nobody saw coming. Per reports, the team reinstated him from the 15-day injured list on Friday, slotting him onto the active roster immediately after optioning struggling reliever Jared Koenig to Triple-A Nashville. This move screams desperation for innings.
