Erick Fedde was signed and added to the Brewers' active roster after his release by Atlanta. Trevor Megill was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 25 with a right flexor strain. Logan Henderson was transferred to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. Megill recorded 21 saves last year and 30 this season, pitching 46 innings with a 2.54 ERA, 30.7% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate. The bullpen remains strong; Abner Uribe has a 1.71 ERA and could assume ninth-inning duties. The injury's severity and recovery timeline remain unknown.
The Brewers announced that they have signed right-hander Erick Fedde, who was released by Atlanta earlier this week. He will take the active roster spot of righty Trevor Megill, who has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right flexor strain, retroactive to August 25th. Righty Logan Henderson has been transferred to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot for Fedde.
It hasn't yet been revealed how serious this injury is or how much time Megill is expected to miss. Regardless, it's a notable development this late in the season. The Brewers are the best team in baseball and Megill is their closer. He notched 21 saves last year and has added another 30 this season. He has thrown 46 innings this year with a 2.54 earned run average, 30.7% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate.
