The Milwaukee Brewers are bracing for an unpredictable start to the season as they evaluate potential fill-in starters amidst a mounting injury crisis. In recent spring training showcases, pitchers Elvin Rodriguez and Tyler Alexander took the mound, with both failing to deliver impressive performances. Rodriguez allowed four runs over four innings, similarly to Logan Henderson's outing the day before, while Alexander surrendered five runs in four innings during a loss to the Seattle Mariners.

Despite their struggles, the Brewers are in a tight spot, needing these pitchers to step up early in the season as they deal with injuries to key players like Brandon Woodruff and Aaron Ashby. Manager Pat Murphy remains optimistic, citing Rodriguez's potential and Alexander's experience as vital assets. With their rotation in flux, these players must seize any opportunity they get.
