Also Hader and Albers are LHPs, which is already a strike against them.

Knebel out at least 6 weeks according to Counsell, closer role will not be set at the moment. No word yet on the severity of the injury.
Edit:
Jon Morosi @jonmorosi
@Brewers manager Craig Counsell mentioned Matt Albers, Jacob Barnes, Jeremy Jeffress and Dan Jennings as options for the 9th inning while Corey Knebel is out. Counsell prefers to keep Josh Hader in a multi-inning role. @MLB @MLBNetwork @MLBNetworkRadioLast edited by Davros; 04-06-2018, 03:51 PM.

Like I said, just a hunch, but managers are fickle but more predictable when it comes to closers in my opinion.

From the monkey
Milwaukee Brewers – All-Star closer Corey Knebel collapsed after throwing a pitch in the ninth inning of Thursday’s loss to the Cubs. He suffered a left hamstring injury, though the severity of it won’t be known until he receives the results of a scheduled MRI on Friday. Knebel had allowed two runs with Milwaukee already down 6-0. He hadn’t pitched yet in April, so he was getting some much-needed work to stay fresh. Manager Craig Counsell announced after the game he’d be placed on the DL. We expect a mixture of Jacob Barnes, Josh Hader and maybe Matt Albers to contend for saves in Knebel’s absence.
Updated hierarchy: *Barnes | Hader | Albers.
* = closer by committee
