Picks up sixth win
Drohan (6-4) earned the win Friday against the Angels, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis
The left-hander was originally scheduled to start Wednesday in San Francisco before having his start pushed back, and he excelled with the extra time off. Drohan delivered his fifth quality start of the campaign and has been providing Milwaukee with consistent length recently, as he's covered at least six frames in each of his past five starts. He'll carry a 3.48 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 89:24 K:BB across 88 innings into an expected matchup with the Pirates next week.

Start pushed to Friday
Drohan is slated to make his next start in Friday's series opener against the Angels in Anaheim, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Analysis
Drohan had been lined up for his 12th start of the season Wednesday in San Francisco, but the Brewers instead decided to call up Thomas Pannone from Triple-A Nashville to make a spot start, which will build in extra rest for all five members of the rotation. The southpaw will miss out on a start in one of baseball's more pitcher-friendly venues in Oracle Park but should still make for a quality option in fantasy lineups this week while taking on an Angels squad that has posted a league-high 25.9 percent strikeout rate against lefties this season.

No longer starting Wednesday
Drohan has been scratched from his scheduled outing Wednesday in San Francisco, as Milwaukee will call up Thomas Pannone from Triple-A Nashville to start the series finale, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis
The Brewers haven't revealed whether an injury or illness factored into the decision to push Drohan off the start, or if the team simply wanted to build in extra rest for the southpaw and the other four members of the rotation. In any case, those intending to use Drohan in DFS or activating him in season-long leagues with daily lineup moves should make alternative plans. Drohan hit six innings in each of his last four starts and went 2-2 with a 4.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB.
