Milwaukee is coming off a 5-0 loss at Fenway Park to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, continuing a challenging stretch heading into the weekend series in Wisconsin.
McGee appeared in nine MLB games last season, posting a 5.52 ERA. The 2016 fourth-round pick has also spent time with the Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners, building depth for Milwaukee’s pitching staff.
Before joining Milwaukee, McGee spent time in the Brewers’ minor-league system, including a productive stint at Nashville. The team’s move to promote him signals a continued emphasis on depth and flexibility in the bullpen and rotation.
The Nationals visit Milwaukee for a two-game set, with the Brewers hoping to rebound after the recent setback at Fenway. The game marks a key early-season test as Milwaukee aims to stabilize its pitching options.
McGee’s promotion adds a familiar depth option for Milwaukee as they navigate the early portion of the schedule, with fans watching how the rookie right-hander will contribute in his first appearance at the major league level of the season.
