Jeremy Jeffress missed Game 163 due to epilepsy

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has an excellent profile on Jeremy Jeffress up this morning ahead of the start of the NLCS. It’s a great look into the emotion Jeffress shows on and off the field after his struggles with addiction and how he changed after entering rehab.

But the article also provides some insight into a question many people were asking early last week: why was Jeremy Jeffress not available in Game 163 against the Chicago Cubs?

The team said it was a medical issue they weren’t going to disclose, but according to Jeffress himself, it was related to his epilepsy.
