Boxberger (shoulder) said following his Tuesday throwing session that he's confident he'll avoid a trip to the injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger exited Saturday's game after experiencing stiffness in his throwing shoulder. The right-hander threw Tuesday for the first time since the issue arose, and it sounds like he's trending toward remaining on the active roster. The right-hander seems very unlikely to pitch in Tuesday's game against Kansas City, but assuming he does indeed avoid the IL, a Wednesday return to the mound could be in the realm of possibility.

Boxberger (shoulder) played catch Tuesday so the team could evaluate him, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger pitched in the first two games of the second half but left Saturday's contest with the shoulder issue. It's good news that he hasn't been shut down completely, but the Brewers won't know whether he needs a trip to the injured list until they see how his shoulder responds to the throwing session.

Manager Craig Counsell said following Saturday's win over the Reds that Boxberger exited with right shoulder stiffness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger exited after allowing a game-tying homer to Jonathan India in the bottom of the eighth inning. His velocity appeared to be down, which makes sense given that he is dealing with a shoulder issue. The skipper labeled the right-hander day-to-day, so it remains to be seen if he'll be available for Sunday's series finale.

Boxberger left Saturday's game against Cincinnati due to an undisclosed injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger entered with the Brewers leading 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth, but he quickly exited after allowing a game-tying homer to Jonathan India. Per Nightengale, the right-hander's velocity was down. Milwaukee will likely provide an update following Saturday's game, and until then, the reliever can be considered day-to-day.

Boxberger allowed one hit over a scoreless ninth inning Sunday and picked up a save against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger worked around a two-out single by Trevor Story to finish off the 7-6 win Sunday. The 33-year-old has now converted all three of his save chances this season, including two in June. He owns a 3.03 ERA and a 31:8 K:BB through 29.2 innings.

Boxberger allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday, striking out one batter and earning a save over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger gave up a leadoff single to Carson Kelly but quickly finished off the next three batters to earn his first save since April 7. He's converted his only two save chances this season and has seven holds alongside a 3.04 ERA. He won't get regular looks in the ninth inning as long as Josh Hader is healthy and dealing.

Boxberger threw a scoreless 10th frame and picked up the win in Monday's extra-inning victory over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger spent the early portion of May working in middle relief, but he has played a more prominent role since the Brewers traded J.P. Feyereisen to the Rays on May 21, and that has resulted in him picking up two wins since that date. The veteran righty has allowed just one hit and posted a 6:2 K:BB in five scoreless innings over his last six appearances, so expect him to remain in the late-inning mix for the time being.

Boxberger (1-1) earned the win Sunday against the Reds, recording one strikeout and hitting one batter in one-third of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger recorded the final out of the fifth inning after striking out Eugenio Suarez, though he had previously loaded the bases when he hit Tucker Barnhart with a pitch. This was Boxberger's first win of the campaign and continues to pitch well even though he's given up runs in two of his last seven appearances. He owns a 4.41 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP across 16.1 innings on the season.

Boxberger retired the only batter he faced to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Boxberger relieved J.P. Feyereisen with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning. The 32-year-old Boxberger got Ian Happ to fly out on six pitches to secure the Brewers' win. This was Boxberger's first save since the 2019 season when he played for the Royals. He has not allowed a baserunner nor recorded a strikeout in his first 1.1 innings this year. As long as Josh Hader is healthy, Boxberger shouldn't be expected to see many save chances.

The Brewers selected Boxberger's contract from their alternate site Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee created a spot for him on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, respectively, by transferring Justin Topa (elbow) to the 60-day injured list and trading Orlando Arcia to Atlanta. Boxberger appeared to have made a strong push for the Brewers' Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, but Milwaukee instead had him bide his time at the alternate site for a few days before a roster spot opened up. Though he has 77 career saves on his resume, Boxberger is expected to work in a middle-relief role for Milwaukee initially.
