Medich, 33, will take the spot vacated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/statss.aspx?playerid=1007551&#038;position=P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Randy Lerch<\/a> in the rotation, since demoted to the bullpen. The Brewers sent the Rangers cash in return.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a quick fix, you may be disappointed. Medich is 7-11 this season with a 5.06 ERA. In fact, he was the starting pitcher in the series opener against the Brewers. He took the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits in five innings.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Medich has history as an effective pitcher. He is 119-101 with a 3.74 ERA for his career, a career that he previously announced would end after this season to pursue a career in medicine. Traded to a team in a pennant race, however, Medich may reconsider.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m happy,&#8221; Doc said about the trade. &#8220;I&#8217;m back in a pennant race after being out of it all year. And a chance to pitch on a team with hitting like them, that&#8217;s heaven for a pitcher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And really, maybe Medich lost his joy to pitch while on the mound for the 43-66 Rangers. Pitching in a winning atmosphere, knowing that he doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect to win, may be just what he needs.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers think so, and they see him as an upgrade as their new fifth starter. &#8220;I&#8217;m not knocking this staff,&#8221; manager <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/statss.aspx?playerid=1007200&#038;position=SS\/OF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvey Kuenn<\/a> said diplomatically, &#8220;I think they are doing a great job. I just felt we could use another starter. He became available and we grabbed him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Medich is expected to make his Brewers debut with a start on August 15 against the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MILWAUKEE &#8212; The Rangers may be leaving town, but their veteran right-handed doctor will be staying back.
