The move comes as part of a disheartening blow to the Brewers' bullpen group, as All-Star closer Trevor Megill has been placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Monday, with a right flexor strain. As noted by Jeff Passan of ESPN, that could mean any number of things, including Megill's postseason readiness being called into question, as flexor strains generally take multiple weeks to heal.
