Harrison (10-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out eight over five scoreless innings.
Harrison threw 49 of his 79 pitches for strikes and generated an impressive 30 combined called and swinging strikes. He departed with just a 1-0 lead before Milwaukee's offense erupted in the later innings of the eventual 22-run win. Harrison has completed five innings only twice over his last five starts, but he's been dominant in both, combining to allow just three hits and no runs while striking out 18. The left-hander has held opponents to three or fewer earned runs in 19 of his 20 starts this season, with the lone exception being a disastrous 2.1-inning, eight-run outing against the Athletics. Harrison will carry a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 122:26 K:BB across 98.1 innings into his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Mets.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Benefits from scoring change
Rotowire
Harrison saw his season ERA drop from 3.47 to 2.99 on Monday, after a scoring change from his Aug. 11 start in San Diego resulted in five earned runs coming off his ledger.
In the second inning of the game, Harrison allowed a pair of base hits to open the frame before inducing a weak grounder to third off the bat of Padres catcher Luis Campusano. David Hamilton stepped on third base to record the first out, but Ji Hwan Bae was unable to corral the throw to second base to complete a double play. The Padres went on to score five runs that inning, but all of those will go down as unearned runs for Harrison after the Major League Baseball retroactively charged Bae with an error, negating the previous ruling of a fielder's choice.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Harrison (calves) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
The left-hander departed his previous start Wednesday versus Pittsburgh after striking out 10 across five scoreless frames due to bilateral calf cramps, but he's ready to take his next turn through the rotation. That start was Harrison's first following a month-long absence due to forearm issues, so the club may be cautious with his workload for his next couple of outings.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Exits with trainer
Rotowire
Harrison was removed from Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh due to cramping in both of his calves, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Wednesday marked Harrison's return from a four-week absence due to elbow/forearm problems, but his early exit was due to an unrelated issue. After firing five scoreless innings Wednesday and collecting each of his final eight outs via strikeout -- giving him 10 for the game -- he took the mound ahead of the sixth inning and was removed by a trainer after throwing a warm-up pitch. The Brewers will likely keep an eye on Harrison's calves during the days leading up to his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Tuesday against San Diego -- but he appears to have avoided a significant injury.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Makes return from IL
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Harrison (forearm) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Pirates.
The 24-year-old lefty will make his return to the Milwaukee rotation after missing just under four weeks while recovering from left forearm extensor tendinopathy. Harrison covered 5.2 innings and 68 pitches during his lone rehab start at High-A Wisconsin last Thursday, so he should be capable of handling something close to a normal workload as he takes the hill for the Brewers for the first time since July 8.
Harrison (forearm) pitched 5.2 scoreless innings, surrendering one hit and three walks while striking out five batters in Thursday night's rehab start with High-A Wisconsin.
Harrison recorded 44 strikes over 68 total pitches, and he was able to reach his target of at least five innings on the mound. The left-hander has been sidelined since July 11 while nursing left forearm tightness, but he showed no rust in his first, and likely only, minor-league rehab start. Harrison is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list and make his next start with the major-league roster.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Harrison on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Thursday, with left forearm tightness, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Harrison made an early exit from his last start due to an injury, and although he said after the game that he wasn't too concerned about it, the Brewers will move him to the injured list anyway. Robert Gasser will come up from the minors to fill the open roster spot and figures to claim Harrison's place in the rotation until further notice.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Battling elbow soreness
Rotowire
Harrison said after Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals that he has been dealing with soreness on the outside of his elbow over the past few weeks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
After quietly dealing with the injury for several outings, Harrison spoke up about his discomfort Wednesday, which explains why he was pulled after just four innings. It also indicates why his performance has begun to dip recently, as he's now turned in a 5.00 ERA across his last four starts. Despite the premature exit, the 24-year-old southpaw didn't seem to be very concerned about the issue, and he'll have plenty of time to recover before making his next start after the All-Star break.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Ineffective in loss
Rotowire
Harrison (8-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out two.
This is the third consecutive start for Harrison in which he has failed to make it past five frames. The left-hander has covered just 11.2 innings during that span, giving up eight runs with a 14:2 K:BB, which is just a minor hiccup in his efficient first season with Milwaukee. The 24-year-old will carry a 3.01 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 83.2 innings into the All-Star Break.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Short start in Arizona
Rotowire
Harrison allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings to take a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.
Harrison labored in this outing, throwing 43 of 72 pitches for strikes before his early exit. It's just the third time he's been held to three innings or fewer in a start this season. Harrison has allowed seven runs over his last 20 innings with a 22:2 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 2.82 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 99:20 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 16 starts this season. The southpaw's next start is projected to be on the road in St. Louis.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Fans nine in no-decision
Rotowire
Harrison took a no-decision Saturday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out nine.
Besides a June 8 implosion in Las Vegas against the Athletics when he was shelled for a season-worst eight runs, Harrison has been incredibly consistent for the Brewers in 2026. The 24-year-old left-hander has now given up two runs or fewer in his 14 other starts, fanning at least six on nine occasions, as well. Harrison will carry a stellar 2.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 96:19 K:BB over 77 innings into his next scheduled outing in Arizona.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Continues strong campaign
Rotowire
Harrison took a no-decision Saturday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.
Saturday marked Harrison's second-longest start of the season, and he's now given up four knocks or fewer in five of his past six outings. The 24-year-old left-hander has also surrendered two runs or fewer in all but one of his first 14 appearances, so he's putting together a strong case for his first career All-Star selection in 2026. Harrison is next set to bring a 2.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 87:18 K:BB across 72 innings into a home matchup versus the division-rival Cubs.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Tosses six shutout innings
Rotowire
Harrison (8-1) allowed three hits and hit one batter while striking out three and walking none over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Phillies on Sunday.
Harrison outdueled Cristopher Sanchez in this contest. It was a strong bounce-back effort after Harrison was tagged for eight runs over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Monday. The southpaw has allowed one run or less in five of his last six starts. For the season, he has a 2.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 80:18 K:BB through 65.2 innings over 13 starts. Harrison's next start is projected to be on the road in Atlanta.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Hammered for eight runs Monday
Rotowire
Harrison did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.1 innings in a 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics. He struck out four.
Harrison's breakout campaign came to a screeching halt at Las Vegas Ballpark, as the Athletics blasted three homers and chased the southpaw before he could complete three innings. The disastrous outing inflated the 24-year-old's ERA by more than a full run, though the fact that he still owns a 2.72 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB with a 7-1 record across 59.2 innings (12 starts) speaks to how dominant he had been prior to Monday. Harrison will look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Phillies.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Strikes out 12 against former team
Rotowire
Harrison (7-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Giants, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with 12 strikeouts across 5.2 innings.
After spending the first two and a half years of his big-league career with the Giants, the team that drafted him, this was Harrison's first start against his former team. He proceeded to shove again, as he has all season, generating 19 whiffs on 106 pitches while matching his season high with 12 strikeouts. Harrison's only blemish was a solo homer allowed to Willy Adames in the sixth inning. Over his last seven starts, Harrison has a microscopic 0.91 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 55:9 K:BB across 39.2 innings. The lefty's 31.9 percent strikeout rate is in the 96th percentile this season. For the year, Harrison owns a 1.57 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB across 57.1 innings.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Earns sixth win of season
Rotowire
Harrison (6-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Cardinals after tossing six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out two.
Harrison was unable to repeat his dominant 11-strikeout performance against the Cubs on May 20. However, this was the third straight start in which he didn't allow runs, lowering his ERA to an impressive 1.57 over 51.2 innings in 10 starts. Harrison has been one of the breakout starting pitchers of 2026 and he's slated to make his next start against the Giants at home next week.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Dominates Cubs with 11 Ks in win
Rotowire
Harrison (5-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing two hits and one walk with 11 strikeouts across seven shutout innings.
Harrison allowed a leadoff double to Nico Hoerner to begin his night but then set down 15 straight Cubs at one point, cruising to his fifth victory of the season. Harrison has shown flashes of dominance in 2026 and generated an elite 41 percent whiff rate against Chicago. It was his second start with double-digit strikeouts this season after he'd accomplished the feat just twice in 37 starts across the previous three campaigns. He entered play Wednesday in the 91st percentile in strikeout rate, and that number is only going to improve after this masterclass. Harrison now owns a 1.77 ERA and 59:14 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Cardinals at home next week.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Career-high 12 Ks in win
Rotowire
Harrison (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out 12.
The left-hander was magnificent Sunday, recording an astounding 23 whiffs en route to fanning a career-high 12. After he didn't reach the 80-pitch marker in either of his prior two starts, it was also encouraging to see Harrison throw a season-high 101 pitches in his first scoreless outing of the year. Harrison is next set to take a stellar 2.28 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 23.2 innings into a favorable matchup against Washington.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Early exit in no-decision
Rotowire
Harrison didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over three-plus innings in a 12-4 rout of the Tigers. He struck out three.
Making his first start since April 11 due to wrist and knee soreness, Harrison looked good through three innings before running into trouble in the fourth by loading the bases with nobody out. The left-hander got the hook after 72 pitches (39 strikes), but Grant Anderson was able to escape the jam by letting only one of the inherited runners cross the plate. Harrison sports a 3.06 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB through 17.2 innings over four outings, and he'll look to provide a little more length in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Pirates.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Sent down to Nashville
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Crow to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Crow fared well in his MLB debut against the Marlins on Friday, giving up two earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings. However, Kyle Harrison (knee/wrist) is expected to rejoin the Brewers' rotation next week, leaving no room for Crow. He'll now head back to Nashville and continue to work as organizational depth, but his strong first impression with the big club makes him a candidate to make additional spot starts later in the year.
