The Milwaukee Brewers have announced that left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison will make his next start on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Harrison had been dealing with a sore left wrist and knee discomfort, but after completing a successful bullpen session on Saturday, he has been cleared to rejoin the rotation.

Why it matters

Harrison is considered one of the Brewers' top pitching prospects, so his return to the starting rotation is an important development for the team as they look to maintain their position in the competitive National League Central division.

The details

The Brewers had initially planned for Harrison to start this past weekend in Miami, but they decided to push his return back a few days to allow him more time to recover from the minor injuries. With Harrison now ready to go, the team has optioned Coleman Crow back to Triple-A Nashville after Crow made a spot start in Harrison's place on Friday.

  • Harrison completed a bullpen session on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
  • Harrison is scheduled to start on Tuesday, April 22, 2026 against the Detroit Tigers.
