Shane Drohan's surprise relief appearance won't impact Brewers' upcoming rotation plans

The Milwaukee Brewers plan to continue using a six-man rotation for at least one more cycle before shifting Shane Drohan to a long-relief role, as he approaches his career high of 129 innings. Drohan's surprise relief appearance on Tuesday, where he pitched two scoreless innings, was simply a way to delay his next start rather than signal an end to the six-man rotation strategy. The Brewers adopted the six-man rotation during a grueling stretch of 17 games in 17 days and have maintained it with recent additions Dustin May and Kyle Harrison joining the rotation alongside Misiorowski, Henderson, Gasser, and Drohan.
