Megill secured the save Sunday against the Astros, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.
It's worth noting Abner Uribe picked up a hold in a spotless eighth inning, as the pendulum in Milwaukee's closer committee could be swinging back in Megill's favor. Both hard-throwing right-handers figure to continue splitting ninth-inning work in some capacity, but Megill has nailed down each of the club's past three save opportunities. Through 21 innings, Megill has a 4.29 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB while converting eight of his nine save chances.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Caps off dominant month of May
Rotowire
Misiorowski (6-2) earned the win Sunday against the Astros, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.
The Astros had no answers for the hard-throwing right-hander Sunday, mustering just three knocks (one double). Misiorowski put a bow on an incredible month of May in the process, during which he registered five scoreless starts in six outings en route to producing a microscopic 0.23 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 57:6 K:BB covering 38.1 innings. He boasts a 1.65 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 108:19 K:BB over 71 frames overall, but Misiorowski's dominance is set to be tested next weekend in Colorado against the Rockies.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: Set to start Monday
Rotowire
Drohan will start Monday's game against the Giants, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It will be the second start of the season for Drohan, who has excelled as a reliever so far in 2026 with a 2.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 27.1 innings. The left-hander has regularly covered multiple frames out of the bullpen and has thrown 39-plus pitches in seven of his 11 outings this year, so he should be able to provide some quality length Monday even if he isn't built up to a full starter's workload.
The Brewers transferred Zerpa (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
This transaction has been inevitable since it was announced in early May that Zerpa required UCL reconstruction on his left elbow. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined until around the All-Star break in 2027.

Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Coughs up five runs in short start
Rotowire
Sproat (1-4) took the loss Saturday against the Astros, allowing five runs on six hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

The 25-year-old right-hander has now given up at least three runs in eight of his 11 outings this year, having lasted at least five innings just three times. Sproat has a poor 6.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 52:27 K:BB across 49 innings, leaving him in jeopardy of losing his rotation spot once the Brewers eventually get back Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), Logan Henderson (back) or Quinn Priester (shoulder).
Frelick isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
Frelick has gone 7-for-33 (.212) with six RBI, three runs and three steals across his last 10 games and will now receive a day off. Jake Bauers will replace him as Milwaukee's right fielder, giving Andrew Vaughn a start at first base.
