A little more than a week after Tyler Cravy made his Major League debut, the Brewers will give another young prospect a change to debut.

Milwaukee will call up right-hander Taylor Jungmann to start on Tuesday, according to Brewers.com.

"Taylor has pitched well. He's kind of gotten on a little bit of a roll here the last three or four starts so we're giving him a shot. I think he'll do well. I think he'll hopefully respond," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "I think he likes that stage. I think he's pitched on that stage in college a bunch at Texas. I think he'll respond to being on the big stage."

Jungmann, the Brewers 13th ranked prospect according to MLB.com, is 2-3 with a 6.36 ERA in Triple-A, however those numbers don't necessarily represent Jungmann's skillset.

“When he's throwing strikes, he's going to get ground balls and he's got a very good curveball, too, that I think he's growing more comfortable with," Counsell said. "He has weapons to get Major League hitters out, no doubt. If he's in the strike zone and executing, he'll get Major League hitters out."
