Milwaukee Brewers: Can Jacob Barnes rescue the bullpen?

Jacob Barnes has been capable for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018. He still has the same big fastball and cutter combo that helped him strikeout 80 batters in 72 innings last year. Can he turn around his 2018 season and provide the Brewers with the depth their bullpen has lacked in the second half?

How has Barnes pitched for the Brewers?

Not awful. He’s worked 42 1/3 innings and owns a 3.61 ERA in 2018. His current ERA is actually lower than where he ended 2017, but he managed to stay on the Major League roster for all of last year.
