Lands on injured list
The Brewers placed Harrison on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Thursday, with left forearm tightness, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Harrison made an early exit from his last start due to an injury, and although he said after the game that he wasn't too concerned about it, the Brewers will move him to the injured list anyway. Robert Gasser will come up from the minors to fill the open roster spot and figures to claim Harrison's place in the rotation until further notice.

Battling elbow soreness
Harrison said after Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals that he has been dealing with soreness on the outside of his elbow over the past few weeks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
After quietly dealing with the injury for several outings, Harrison spoke up about his discomfort Wednesday, which explains why he was pulled after just four innings. It also indicates why his performance has begun to dip recently, as he's now turned in a 5.00 ERA across his last four starts. Despite the premature exit, the 24-year-old southpaw didn't seem to be very concerned about the issue, and he'll have plenty of time to recover before making his next start after the All-Star break.

Ineffective in loss
Harrison (8-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out two.
Analysis
This is the third consecutive start for Harrison in which he has failed to make it past five frames. The left-hander has covered just 11.2 innings during that span, giving up eight runs with a 14:2 K:BB, which is just a minor hiccup in his efficient first season with Milwaukee. The 24-year-old will carry a 3.01 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 83.2 innings into the All-Star Break.
