Jeffress owns a 2.45 ERA and 5:5 K:BB ratio in 7.1 innings over eight appearances out of the Brewers' bullpen. Jeffress was a darkhorse closer candidate early this spring, but with Francisco Rodriguez back on the roster, he is working in a middle relief role for the Brewers. Jeffress has not been particularly sharp early in the season, but he has been able to limit the damage.
