Brewers Place DL Hall On 15-Day Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | April 21, 2024 at 4:23pm CDT

The Brewers have placed left-hander DL Hall on the 15-day injured list due to a left knee sprain.  Left-hander Jared Koenig was called up from Triple-A Nashville to take Hall’s place on the active roster.

As manager Pat Murphy told MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy and other reporters, Hall hurt his knee while fielding a bunt single from Michael Siani in the second inning.  The southpaw ended up lasting 3 2/3 innings and allowing four runs on five walks and five hits, though the sprain can’t be blamed for all these struggles, as Hall had already given up three walks and two hits before Siani’s single.

It remains to be seen how much time Hall could miss, as while Murphy described the strain as “mild,” the injury was still under evaluation.  However, the 15-day absence only adds to what has been a dreadful start to both Hall’s 2024 season and his Brewers tenure altogether.

Acquired from the Orioles as part of the Corbin Burnes trade package, Hall worked almost exclusively as a reliever in his two previous MLB seasons in Baltimore, but the Brewers opted to stretch him out as a starter.  The results haven’t been pretty — Hall has a 7.71 ERA, 15.5% strikeout rate, and an 11.9% walk rate across four starts and 16 1/3 innings.  Murphy told reporters yesterday that things would have to improve in order for Hall to stick in Milwaukee’s rotation, though this injury could put that decision on hold for at least a couple of weeks.

McCalvy figures that Bryse Wilson will likely be moved into the rotation in Hall’s place for the time being, both because of Wilson’s recent experience as a spot starter and due to a relative lack of other healthy options.  Hall joins Jakob Junis on the big league injured list, and top prospect Robert Gasser is on the IL at Triple-A.  Koenig has some starting experience but has worked primarily as a reliever since the start of the 2023 campaign, so it seems likelier that he’ll just replace Wilson in the long relief role.

    Hall is supposed to be pretty good
    He could not hit the plate with a fork sometimes, but he was supposed to have a higher ceiling than Gray Rod and Duquette who drafted him felt he was lucky to get him, but he has not had a lot of success in the Majors

      “Hall is supposed to be pretty good” It’s a bad idea to switch jobs/positions with guys who haven’t even established themselves as big Leaguers yet. It’s like taking an apprentice carpenter and then making him head of a $150M building project, ahead of several more experienced carpenters. Let him get a year+ experience as a reliever and then reassess his role in the future if you like.

        Brewers are going to have to shorten the leash on Hall if he continues to struggle out of the rotation, especially since they’re competing to make the playoffs this year.

        I don’t think that’s a good comparison.

        @MLB it’s like future carpenters are scouted and metrics are tracked for things such as hammer speed and other skills for their futures as a journeymen in the trade. Sorry this is just an absolutely unrealistic comparison.

        One experienced Carpenter, Matt Carpenter, isn’t the ideal guy for a building project. Nor for a rebuilding MLB roster.

      “Could not hit the plate with a fork” LOL oh man I have never heard that one before. Need to memorize it. Great line.

        So he has an eating disorder? “Dude, all your food is on your plate, but you keep stabbing at the table.”

    Hall should’ve been in the bullpen all along.

      Probably, but I like that they gave it a shot. I like it even more that they are at least acknowledging that his work needs to improve or changes will be made. Refreshing public-facing honesty.

      Having like 4 SPs injured and they needed #6-8 kinda forced some of that. Think they are on to #10 to start the season.

        They were pretty vocal from the start that they were going to give him a shot at starting, but since injuries have decimated their SP situation, I’d bet he gets more starts out of necessity.

    O’s fan. Hall is a bullpen guy and will probably be good in that role. Joey Ortiz was the get out of that package. He is a ball player.

      I think Hall will be a get too once he’s in the pen. He’s never been able to start but I understand why they wanted to give him a shot. When he’s firing 98 from the left side out of the pen—he’s a weapon.

    Hall is in the same boat as Aaron Ashby. Neither one can get his fastball back up to 98 mph, last season’s norm. They’re both very hittable at 92.

    Haven’t seen anything from DL that made him an integral part of the Burnes deal. I thought the velo on the fastball was supposed to be better than it is?
