Corey Knebel Aiming To Return Next Week
7 years agoMilwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Corey Knebel (hamstring) is aiming to return sometime in the next week. Knebel is arguably a top-five closer after his breakout season last year where he pitched for a 1.78 ERA, 126 strikeouts, and 39 saves in only 76 innings pitched. His addition to an already stacked Brewers bullpen with names like Josh Hader, Matt Albers, and Jeremy Jeffress, saves will be plentiful with a solid bullpen holding leads for Knebel in the ninth. Hader's save opportunities will drop as a result of this move, however, should still be owned in all formats. With the Brewers currently in first place for Save Opportunities, Knebel will be given plenty of opportunities to come in for saves and should be owned in all formats as well.
