Jeremy Jeffress Could Return On Next Homestand
6 years agoMilwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in 1 1/3 innings with Triple-A San Antonio on Friday. The right-hander could make his season debut on the team's next homestand if he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Jeffress is expected to pitch again Monday or Tuesday and will likely make three to four more minor league appearances. The Brewers open their next homestand on April 15. Josh Hader has stepped up and been dominant as the team's closer to open the year, but the team may prefer to use him for multi-inning stretches earlier in the game if they need to. That could open Jeffress up to see considerable save chances with Corey Knebel (elbow) already out for the year. Pick Jeffress up now and stash him if you're speculating on saves.
