Corey Knebel will spend the year on the illjured list after electing to undergo Tommy John surgery:
Knebel is under contract for $5.125 million this season and isn’t eligible for free agency until after the 2021 season. Assuming a normal recovery, Knebel should still be part of Milwaukee’s near- to mid-term window as contenders.CBSSports.com
The Brewers are also without reliever Jeremy Jeffress, who opened the season on the injured list because of right shoulder weakness. Even though he figures to return by mid April or so, his absence adds to the Brewers’ bullpen concerns.
Knebel is fourth in the majors since the start of the 2017 season in K per 9 IP, minimum of 100 IP. He blows away batters, and the Brewers will miss that.
