Brewers' Brent Suter: Slated to stat Friday

Suter will start Friday's game against the Rockies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Taylor Jungmann (hip) was originally scheduled to start Friday's tilt, but after ruling Jungmann out due to a hip injury incurred in his previous start, the Brewers decided to give Suter another shot in a starting role. Suter was shelled in his first career start, giving up four runs on seven hits in a mere 4.1 innings against Seattle in mid-August, but he hasn't allowed a single run in 12.1 innings out of the bullpen since then. The left-hander doesn't overwhelm anyone with strikeouts, but his command is solid (2.7 BB/9) and he keeps the ball in the park (0.4 HR/9 with Triple-A Colorado Springs), which could bode well as he preps for a start in hitter-friendly Coors Field.
