Brewers Place Trevor Megill on Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a lower back strain, marking the third reliever to be sidelined in four days. Megill, who has successfully converted 20 of 22 save opportunities this season with a 2.41 ERA, had been filling in for All-Star closer Devin Williams, who was activated over the weekend after recovering from back surgery. Despite Williams’ return, Megill was expected to continue seeing regular ninth-inning action. The severity of Megill's injury will be evaluated through imaging, as he had been coping with the pain for several days. The Brewers are currently dealing with a significant injury crisis, having placed 13 pitchers on the injured list this season, with 10 still out, including several key players. This situation raises concerns for the team's bullpen depth as they navigate the remainder of the season.
