PHOENIX — Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison left his Cactus League start Wednesday because of a blister on his left index finger.
Harrison departed after allowing four runs — one earned — over 2 2/3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old has been competing for a spot in Milwaukee’s starting rotation since coming over from the Boston Red Sox in a February trade.
The Brewers acquired Harrison along with left-handed pitcher Shane Drohan and infielder David Hamilton from Boston in a deal that sent third baseman Caleb Durbin, infielders Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler as well as a competitive balance pick to the Red Sox.
Harrison went 1-1 with a 4.04 ERA in 11 combined appearances with the Red Sox and San Francisco Giants last season. The Red Sox got Harrison in the trade that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco.
