Houser gave up five earned runs over five innings in Thursday's 7-2 loss to Double-A Mobile.
Houser has had a rough go at it so far in 2016 as he's given up four or more earned runs in six of his nine starts. His pitching frustrations are largely due to the number of hits he allows (.292 BAA) resulting in a sub-par 1.48 WHIP this season. The 23-year-old righty will need to lower his ERA and improve his peripherals if he hopes to advance further in Milwaukee's farm system.
