The Brewers go for their third straight win behind Kyle Harrison

The Milwaukee Brewers are riding high after another impressive offensive display last night, and they'll look to keep the momentum rolling this afternoon against the Washington Nationals. It's a rematch of starters from April 11th, when these two teams last squared off, and the Brewers are aiming for their third straight win.

First, some important injury updates. After Jacob Misiorowski left last night's game early, fans held their breath. Fortunately, it appears to be just a cramp. Misiorowski gave a thumbs up on his hamstring before today's game, and manager Pat Murphy echoed that optimism, noting that a normal day of work will confirm everything is fine. Misiorowski's next turn in the rotation would be Wednesday's series finale against the Cardinals, but with an off-day right after, the Brewers could give him extra rest if needed.

The news isn't as bright for Angel Zerpa. He's seeking a second opinion on his forearm tightness and weighing whether to undergo surgery. Murphy didn't specify the procedure, but emphasized it's Zerpa's decision. Either way, it looks like we won't see him on the field for a while.

Meanwhile, Logan Henderson is with the Brewers but hasn't been added to the active roster yet. He's expected to fill Brandon Woodruff's spot in the rotation, likely starting Tuesday in St. Louis—though he could pitch sooner. Henderson's last outing for Nashville was Sunday, and while Chad Patrick is currently listed as tomorrow's probable starter, the Brewers haven't announced their plans for the Cardinals series.

Today's starter, Kyle Harrison, is coming off a dominant performance against the Pirates on Sunday, tossing six shutout innings with just one hit, one walk, and 12 strikeouts. This will be his second start against the Nationals this season, and he'll be looking for a better result than last time—when he lasted only 4 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk.
