Overview

• Nestor Cortes was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow flexor strain, his second occurrence of the injury in eight months.
• Brewers officials, including assistant GM Matt Kleine, have stated the injury is not expected to be long-term, though further testing is ongoing.
• Cortes pitched six shutout innings against the Reds last week despite experiencing discomfort, but soreness worsened after the game.
• The Brewers have recalled left-handed reliever Graham Wolfram from Triple-A Nashville to fill the roster spot left by Cortes.
• Cortes' injury makes him the eighth Brewers pitcher and seventh starter to land on the injured list, leaving Freddy Peralta as the rotation's only healthy Opening Day starter.
