Milwaukee Brewers star Corbin Burnes left his team’s 7-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night with a left pectoral strain. Burnes picked up the strain in the fourth inning when placing a tag on Eugenio Suarez at the end of a rundown.

Despite trying to see out the game, Burnes left in the sixth inning. Still, Brewers manager Craig Counsell believes that Burnes’ injury is not severe in nature and that the pitcher could play in the next game depending on his recovery progress.

“I think it just kind of overstretched it. So I’m not really sure what happened,” Burnes said of his injured pectoral. “I didn’t feel it when it happened at the time. When I came back after the sixth warming up, I could feel starting to tighten up and kind of get crampy.” It was at this point that Burnes exited the game.

During his 5⅓ innings, Burnes allowed two runs on three hits with three strikeouts, thereby limiting the Mariners to three runs and handing the Brewers the win.

Counsell and Burnes have both confirmed that the next step now is to have the pitcher re-evaluated on Tuesday with the hopes that he will be able to return to play in the next game.

Left-hander Wade Miley will return to the Milwaukee Brewers after agreeing to a one-year, $45 million contract, sources confirmed on Wednesday. The deal includes up to $1.5 million in potential incentives.

Miley was 2-2 with a 3.16 ERA with the Chicago Cubs last season, however, injuries largely restricted his playing time. The 36-year-old player was placed on the injured list on three occasions last season, including for a sore shoulder.

Plagued by injuries for the majority of his 12-year career, Miley himself observed how he would follow up a healthy season with one filled with injury setbacks. Having made 32 starts in 2017, Miley played just 16 the following season before making 33 appearances for the Houston Astros in 2019. he played just six games for the Cincinnati Reds in 2020 before making 28 starts the following year.

The veteran pitcher will fit into the Brewers’ rotation alongside Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes, and Freddy Peralta. During his time with eight different teams, Miley has amassed a career 4.13 ERA in 292 games.

Christian Yelich might’ve won the 2018 NL MVP Award in his first season with the Milwaukee Brewers, but it doesn’t look like he’s content with his achievement.

Yelich has begun the 2019 season by homering in four consecutive games, which ties an MLB record shared by Willie Mays (1971), Mark McGwire (1998), Nelson Cruz (2011), Chris Davis (2013), and Trevor Story (2016).

In addition to Yelich’s first inning home run off of Michael Wacha, he also hit a game-winning RBI double to beat the Cardinals in a walk-off win.

The Brewers took 3 of 4 games against St. Louis to begin the season last weekend, a strong start against a division rival. The team’s success in large part can be attributed to Yelich, who opened the season with a 6-12, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 6 walk weekend.

Yelich took home the 2018 NL MVP Award after putting up a .326/.402/.598 slash line with 36 home runs and 110 RBI.

The 27-year-old outfielder looks ready to come out swinging to defend his MVP crown and fight for another NL Central division title with his team.
