The Brewers placed Hall on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left knee sprain.
Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes that Hall sustained the injury on a bunt play in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Cardinals. Hall has failed to last four innings in each of his last two appearances, and he has a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB over 16.1 innings this season. With Hall on the IL, the Brewers recalled southpaw Jared Koenig from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Bryse Wilson, who threw 3.2 innings as the Brewers' opening pitcher against the Padres on April 17, is a candidate to replace Hall in the starting rotation, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.

Brewers' DL Hall: Walks five in no-decision
Rotowire
Hall didn't factor in the decision Saturday in St. Louis after he allowed four runs on five hits and five walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
The left-hander threw just 50 of his 90 pitches for strikes as he walked multiple batters in both the first and second innings. It's the second straight outing Hall has failed to last four innings, but the Milwaukee offense struck for 12 runs to keep him out of the loss column. The 25-year-old has a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB across 16.1 innings through four starts, and his leash in the rotation may be running out given the awful start to the season.
Hall escaped with a no-decision in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Orioles, coughing up five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.
Facing his former team for the first time after being part of the package sent to Milwaukee this offseason for Corbin Burnes, Hall looked more like a sleeper agent as he served up homers to Ryan Mountcastle and Jordan Westburg in the first inning and Adley Rutschman in the third. However, the Brewers' offense kept pace and took the lead for good in the top of the fourth. Hall has had a bumpy conversion to the rotation so far after 28 of his 29 appearances with the O's came out of the bullpen, and through three starts he's stumbled to a 7.11 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB in 12.2 innings. The 25-year-old southpaw lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in St. Louis.
Hall (0-1) took the loss Saturday against the Mariners after he allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
Hall pitched well for the most part Saturday, but Seattle struck for three runs on five hits during the third frame. The left-hander got his pitch count up to 90 after throwing just 73 pitches over four innings during his Brewers debut, so it appears he'll have a standard starter's workload going forward. Hall tentatively projects to face his old team next weekend in Baltimore.
Hall didn't factor into the decision Saturday, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over four innings in a 7-6 win over the Mets. He struck out one.
Making only his second career big-league start, Hall tossed 45 of 73 pitches for strikes before exiting with the Brewers ahead 5-2, as he fell short of qualifying for the win. The 25-year-old southpaw is being counted on by Milwaukee to fill a rotation spot after being part of the package the team received from Baltimore for Corbin Burnes, but he has a lot to prove before he can be considered a reliable fantasy option. Hall lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Mariners.
