Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell discussed how much time Freddy Peralta would miss due to his shoulder injury.
“The MRI showed that it is a strain in the back of the shoulder. He is going to miss a significant amount of time,” explained the American strategist, according to a report by journalist Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Counsell added of his starter’s situation: “He will be back this season, but it’s going to be a lengthy absence. We’re confident that there’s going to be no aftereffects to this thing, but it’s going to take a while to heal and then build it back up.”
At the moment, the only thing confirmed regarding the right-hander is the fact that he was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Sensitive drop in the rotation of a Milwaukee team that starts the day on Tuesday, May 24 in the first position of the Central Division of the National League, with a record of 26 wins and 16 losses.
The good moment in the table allows the Brewers to plan an extensive rehabilitation for the Dominican starter, with the aim of being able to have him 100% healthy for possible participation in the postseason. In addition, it is important to add that at the moment surgery to repair the physical problem is not on the agenda.
In Peralta’s absence, the Brewers’ rotation is made up of: Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Adrian Houser, Eric Lauer, and Aaron Ashby.
