Cousins landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right biceps Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With just nine days left on the schedule, the move ends Cousins' regular season. Whether he has a chance to return during the playoffs is unknown. He'll finish his rookie season with a 2.70 ERA in 30 innings of relief, with his 35.2 percent strikeout rate proving to be more than enough to overcome a 15.2 percent walk rate. Miguel Sanchez was recalled to take his spot in the bullpen.

Cousins tossed a scoreless eighth inning and picked up his sixth hold of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
With setup man Devin Williams unavailable Wednesday manager Craig Counsell turned to Cousins, and although he allowed a double and walked a batter, he also prevented either runner from crossing the plate while picking up two strikeouts. Cousins' 17-appearance scoreless streak was snapped in late August, but he has still given up just two earned runs over 24 innings out of the Brewers' bullpen this season.

Cousins (illness) was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins tested positive for the virus at the end of July, but his battle with the illness evidently wasn't a particularly long one. The Brewers will be quite happy to see him back in the bullpen, as he's had a dominant start to his big-league career, striking out 20 batters in 14.1 scoreless innings of work while allowing just four hits and five walks.

Cousins could be reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list as early as Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins landed on the COVID-19 IL at the end of July after he tested positive for the virus, but he's now cleared re-entry testing. While the righty won't return for Monday's series opener against the Cubs, he has a strong chance to rejoin the bullpen ahead of Tuesday's contest.

Cousins was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Cousins has tested positive for the virus himself. That indicates he'll miss more than just a day or two, though exactly when he'll return is unclear.
