Hader is likely to work out of the bullpen to begin the season, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hader was stellar in relief last season, striking out 68 batters across 47.2 innings and accruing a 2.08 ERA for Milwaukee. That allowed general manager David Stearns to install the 23-year-old left-hander in the same role for this campaign, although that could change. The Brewers are in pursuit of a starting pitcher, so if they pull the trigger on a trade before spring training begins, that would solidify Hader's role in the bullpen for the time being.
