Corey Knebel - Page 14 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent to Dodgers Knebel was traded from the Brewers to the Dodgers on Wednesday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash.

Impact It was initially reported the veteran right-hander was being non-tendered by Milwaukee, but he is instead being shipped to Los Angeles. Knebel returned from Tommy John surgery in 2020 and struggled with a 6.08 ERA in 13.1 innings, but the Dodgers will clearly be hoping he's able to rediscover his All-Star form. He's now eligible for arbitration if he's unable to reach a deal with his new team.

Cut loose by Milwaukee Knebel was non-tendered by the Brewers on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact He serves as a cautionary tale for pitchers coming back from Tommy John surgery, as Knebel was a shell of his former self for much of the 2020 season. By the end of the season he was touching 96 mph with his fastball, which is still not quite where he was at his peak. Knebel will surely draw interest from several teams, as pitchers often look much better in their second year back from the procedure.

Velocity coming back Knebel struck out six batters over two scoreless innings and finished Tuesday's blowout victory over the Cardinals.

Impact Knebel struggled early on while getting back up to speed following Tommy John surgery, and he owned a 9.45 ERA when he landed on the injured list Aug. 20. Once a pitcher whose fastball sat in the upper 90s, he had a tough time recording outs while topping out at 94 mph. However, since being activated last week, he has looked more like his old self, allowing just two hits and one earned run over four innings (2.25 ERA) while posting a 7:1 K:BB. Not surprisingly, he has regained a few ticks on his fastball, regularly hitting 95 and 96 mph on the radar gun in Tuesday's outing. Knebel has been used mainly in low-stress situations all season, but if that velocity is the norm again, he could find himself working in a key spot or two down the stretch.

AUGUST 20, 2020 • MLB.COM

Moved to injured list Knebel was placed on the injured list Thursday with a right hamstring strain.

Impact Manager Craig Counsell noted that Knebel -- who has struggled in his return from Tommy John surgery -- has been trying to work through some mechanical issues on the mound, per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and the skipper believes that might have led to his hamstring injury. It's unclear how long the issue will keep Knebel sidelined, though he'll be eligible to return at the end of the month if he proves ready. Mark Mathias was recalled from the team's satellite camp to take Knebel's place on the roster.

Tosses scoreless inning Knebel threw a scoreless eighth inning in Sunday's 9-3 victory over the Reds.

Impact Knebel has worked mainly in low-pressure situations after missing all of 2019 with an elbow injury, and his latest outing was just the second of his six appearances that have come with the Brewers holding a lead. He is still not throwing as hard as he was in the past, as each four-seamer he threw Monday registered at 93 or 94 MPH on the radar gun. Given his track record Knebel could find himself pitching ahead of Josh Hader again at some point, but he may need to find a few more ticks before doing so.

Good to go for Opening Day Knebel (elbow) will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster.

Impact Knebel would have missed the start of the season had it began on time, but with a couple more months to recover he will be in the bullpen when the Brewers open their regular season Friday. While Knebel is healthy, he is still not all the way back to his previous form, as per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, his fastball topped out at 93 mph in his final summer camp tune-up, which is a few ticks lower than what he was hitting when he was last seen shutting down opposing hitters during the 2018 postseason.

Manager pleased with velocity Manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that he has been pleased with Knebel's (elbow) velocity during his throwing sessions in summer camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. "I think hi...

Impact The Brewers haven't formally confirmed that Knebel will be included on the 30-man roster for their July 24 season opener versus the Cubs, but the positive comments about how he's bounced back from his April 2019 Tommy John surgery seemingly bode well for his chances of earning a spot in the Milwaukee bullpen. Counsell has yet to provide much clarity on what Knebel's role might look like in 2020, however, making it uncertain if the 28-year-old will regularly be in the mix for saves when available. If Milwaukee ultimately chooses to use relief ace Josh Hader in a more flexible, multi-inning role than as a traditional closer, a healthy Knebel would seemingly rank as the best bet for saves out of the Brewers bullpen.

Cautious coming out of rehab work The Brewers are remaining cautious with Knebel's (elbow) workload coming out of rehab, but he could be ready for Opening Day, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Even if he isn't ready for the start of the season July 23 or 24, he seems likely to be cleared shortly thereafter. Knebel completed a 15-pitch live batting practice session Saturday and pitching coach Chris Hook said he looked "really sharp." It remains unclear how manager Craig Counsell plans to distribute saves and late-inning opportunities between Knebel and Josh Hader, but both pitchers are expected to see plenty of high-leverage chances.

Impact If MLB hadn't suspended its season in mid-March, Knebel indicated that he would likely be in the midst of a rehab assignment at Triple-A San Antonio at this point in the calendar, but the coronavirus pandemic has delayed his ability to even face hitters. While Knebel has been throwing "a lot of bullpens" amid baseball's hiatus, he'll still need to pass a few more checkpoints once teams resume training before he's deemed ready for game action. Fortunately for Knebel, the Brewers' healthy pitchers will all have to essentially go through another de facto spring training of their own to get their arms conditioned for game action, so Knebel still projects to be a member of the Milwaukee bullpen whenever the season resumes.
