Kyle Harrison (forearm) threw 5 2/3 shutout innings for High-A Wisconsin on Thursday.
Harrison, who has been on the injured list since July 11th, allowed just one hit, walked three, and struck out five. We don’t have Statcast readings from High-A affiliates, so we don’t know the velocity and shape of his pitches, but he looked healthy and threw 68 total pitches. The Brewers have said his next start will be in the big leagues at some point next week. Harrison was electric to begin the season before posting a 5.34 ERA across 32 innings in his final seven starts. Injury may have played a role in that, but we generally prefer to keep a starter on the bench for their first start after coming off the IL anyway.
