Jeffress tossed a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffress was used in a non-save situation Tuesday, which could lead to some doubt about his assumed status as the Brewers' closer. However, the team was down just a run when he entered and will have an off day Thursday, so it seems more likely that manager Craig Counsell simply wanted to use his top reliever in a close game rather than save him. Jeffress still seems to be the favorite to close for Milwaukee, but that will ultimately be determined when the Brewers find themselves in a save situation for the first time this season.
