The Milwaukee Brewers have been hit hard by the injury bug to begin the 2024 season. Starting pitchers DL Hall and Jakob Junis are currently on paths to recovery. Garrett Mitchell sustained a hand fracture in Spring Training and is expected back in early June. Lastly, star Christian Yelich got off to a hot start but a back injury has kept him sidelined since April 13.
Despite numerous injuries the Milwaukee Brewers are continuing to win games.
Entering play on Monday, May 6 the Brewers possess a 20-13 record. Despite losing two out of three games to the Chicago Cubs over the weekend this puts them on top of the National League Central. Outfielder Blake Perkins has stepped up big time during Yelich’s absence and mainstays such as Brice Turang, Willy Adames, and William Contreras have continued to produce.
