Jakob Junis News
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jakob Junis (head, shoulder) was hit in the head by a line drive during pre-game batting practice before Monday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Junis is currently on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder injury. He was alert and responsive and was taken for more observation by an ambulance at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old will surely be put through the league's concussion protocol, and it's unclear right now if his head injury will affect how quickly he'll be able to return from the IL for the Brewers. Junis made just one start on April 2 against the Minnesota Twins before going on the shelf with his shoulder injury. In his lone start, he gave up just one earned run on three hits while walking one and striking out four in four innings for a no-decision.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jakob Junis (shoulder) is experiencing a "scratchy shoulder" and could be in danger of missing his next start, according to manager Pat Murphy. If Junis is unable to make his next start, left-hander Andy Ashby would take Junis' turn in the starting rotation on Monday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Ashby is already in the Brewers' clubhouse on the taxi squad after last starting for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. We'll know more on Junis after imaging tests come back on his shoulder. In his first start of the 2024 season on April 2 against the Minnesota Twins, Junis picked up a no-decision by allowing an earned run on three hits while walking one and fanning four in four innings. Either Junis or Ashby will be shaky streaming options for fantasy managers against the Reds early next week.
The Milwaukee Brewers and free-agent pitcher Jakob Junis agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal, pending a physical, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The 31-year-old will be paid $4 million this season with a $3 million buyout on a mutual option. The Brewers currently have some holes to fill in their starting rotation, so Junis should have an opportunity. He made only four starts in 40 appearances for the Giants in 2023, going 4-3 with a 3.87 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 26.2% strikeout rate in 86 innings pitched. Junis will first need to earn a stable rotation job and then prove he can produce in the role before earning fantasy managers' trust.
