Milwaukee Brewers – Will Smith’s knee injury was indeed serious — he hurt it while trying to take his spikes off after a game — and he will miss a significant amount of time. It’s now likely that Jeremy Jeffress will see the lion’s share of save opportunities to start the season, while Corey Knebel will see more holds and potentially a save chance or two when Jeffress needs time off. Smith’s timetable is uncertain at this point and depends on whether he needs surgery.
Updated hierarchy: Jeffress | Knebel | Blazek.
