Jungmann could start Wednesday's game against the Giants if Matt Garza (shoulder) is not fully healthy by then, Tom Haudricourt of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jungmann would shift from the fourth starter to the third starter temporarily should Garza miss time. The 26-year-old will have a tough matchup regardless as the Brewers open the season with the Giants and Astros back-to-back.

Jungmann tossed three hitless innings and posted a 4:1 K:BB ratio in a spring outing against the Rockies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jungmann allowed four runners to reach base in just 1.1 innings in his first spring start, but he pitched far better Saturday, allowing just two runners to reach base in his three frames. He is considered something of a wild card after a poor finish to last season, but he did post a 2.42 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in his first 16 big league starts, and it's possible he simply tired out while throwing a career-high 178.2 innings in 2015. One way or another, as a former first-rounder who proved last year he can succeed at the top level, his place in the Brewers' rotation figures to be plenty secure.

Jungmann (9-8) struggled in his final start of the season Thursday, lasting only three-plus innings while allowing three runs on four hits and four walks against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After putting up a sparkling 2.23 ERA through his first 13 starts after being called up, things took a distinct turn for the worse for Jungmann down the stretch, as he was bombarded to the tune of 24 earned runs in 22.2 innings over his final five outings, a stretch that can largely be attributed to a sudden tendency to serve up long balls. Jungmann gave up eight homers in those last five outings -- an odd development, considering that he'd allowed just four in his first 25 starts of the year, including his time in the minors. Still, the fine run Jungmann went on -- not to mention the lack of luster associated with his name despite his status as a former No. 12 overall pick -- will make him an intriguing sleeper option in next year's drafts.

Jungmann (9-7) gave up six runs on six hits and three walks in five innings against the Cardinals on Thursday. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Over his last four starts, Jungmann has completely imploded -- he's given up a whopping seven homers among 25 hits in 19.2 innings, leading to 22 runs (21 earned). The walk rate has spiked; the strikeout rate has faded. Jungmann's shown a lot of promise in his rookie campaign, but his recent stretch serves as a painful reminder that he hasn't yet arrived as a legitimate fantasy asset in standard formats.

Jungmann earned a no-decision on Sunday against the Pirates, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was strong until he ran into a spot of trouble in the fourth, when he allowed three runs on two hits and two walks, ultimately costing him a shot at a win. Despite allowing 10 runs in his last two outings, Jungmann still has a 3.05 ERA in 106 innings this season and will look to get back on track Saturday against the Reds.

Jungmann got chased early Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

This was his second shortest start of the season, and the third time in his last six starts that he failed to pitch five-plus innings. His home/road splits are quite telling in those last six starts. Over that stretch he has allowed one run total in three home starts (18.1 innings) while surrendering 10 runs in three road starts (10.1 innings). His next start will come Sunday in Pittsburgh, which may be one to avoid in shallower leagues.

Jungmann pitched well on Wednesday, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three across six innings in a win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Jungmann has been the best pitcher for the Brewers this season and that's a huge surprise considering he started the year in the minors without much farfare. He now has a 2.42 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in his 16 starts. The only slight fpr Jungmann is that he has failed to strike out more than five batters in three straight starts. In any case, he should continue his success against the Marlins on Tuesday.

Jungmann will not start Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers are bringing up Zach Davies from Triple-A Charlotte as a September call-up, and Davies will get the starting nod Wednesday. Jungmann is not injured, so it looks as though the Brewers will simply shuffle the rotation, and Jungmann figures to slot back in later in the week. He could pitch as early as Thursday if the Brewers opt to bump struggling Matt Garza from the rotation for a turn or two.

Jungmann (8-5) pitched six scoreless innings on Friday, striking out five and conceding three hits and three walks in a win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

It seems as though there are a handful of rookie pitchers who emerge every summer to help steer fantasy leagues' playoff pictures. Jungmann has become one of those pitchers. Jungmann has a 2.34 ERA since July 1, a figure that is more impressive considering he got tossed around for five runs over four innings in his last start. Over that same 10-start span, Jungmann is averaging 8.76 K/9. Pick up your Jungmann while supplies last.

Jungmann gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings Tuesday against the Phillies. While Jungmann was once a first round pick, it would have been difficult to predict that after his first five big league starts he would have a 2.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, just based on his track record in the minor leagues. Remember, this is a pitcher who was drafted out of the University of Texas who was beaten to the major leagues by some high school pitchers from his draft class. He is certainly a pitcher worth keeping an eye on, but nobody should be surprised if eventually his fortune starts to change. Jungmann will make his next start Sunday in Cincinnati.
