Milone has earned a spot in the Brewers' bullpen to begin the season, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Milone struggled this spring, posting a 9.69 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 13.0 innings. He will be the only southpaw in the Brewers' bullpen this season, which is likely the reason he was taken by manager Craig Counsell. The 30-year-old could step in and eat innings if Milwaukee finds itself in need of another starter, but he'll likely stick to a low-leverage role in the bullpen in 2017.
