EDGE Analysis

Cousins had been rehabbing at the Brewers' complex in Arizona over the All-Star break. He appeared in one game and allowed one unearned run while walking two batters and striking out three. Now, he'll move to higher-level competition and should return to the Brewers' bullpen before the end of the month.
