A few updates on the Brewers…
- Milwaukee will welcome back ace Corbin Burnes from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com relays. Burnes confirmed Wednesday that he landed on the shelf April 26 as a result of a positive test, but he was asymptomatic and able to continue working out, per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Prior to going on the IL, the 26-year-old flamethrower got off to a remarkable start with 29 1/3 innings of 1.53 ERA/1.25 SIERA, and he also piled up 49 strikeouts without issuing a single walk. Burnes is now three punchouts away from breaking Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen’s 4-year-old record of 51 strikeouts against no walks to open a season.
- McCalvy also passes on the latest regarding left fielder Christian Yelich, who hit the 10-day IL for the second time last week because of ongoing back troubles. Yelich has returned to “doing baseball activities,” according to manager Craig Counsell, who didn’t offer a timeline for when he could rejoin their lineup. Yelich’s second IL placement came just one game after the team activated him from a three-week absence. Yelich has appeared in only 10 games and collected 41 plate appearances this year, but the former MVP has hit a rather productive .353/.463/.382 in that short span.
- The Brewers designated righty Zack Godley for assignment on Monday, and he has since gone unclaimed on waivers, Steve Adams of MLBTR tweets. Godley has up to two days to accept an outright assignment or return to free agency. The Brewers signed the 30-year-old to a minor league contract in March, and they selected his contract April 27. Godley made a start the next day, but he managed only three innings of three earned-run ball before exiting with a right finger injury that required an IL stint.
Corbin, now will you and your wife get vaccinated? Those two missed starts were avoidable.
get better soon yelich i don’t the brew make the playoffs much less the division without him. also i want to see my birds play (and hopefully win) the brew at full strength.
An error in judgment by Burnes imho. Might as well get used to people missing time for work, businesses occasionally being closed or shut down and other inconveniences.
Yeah, COVID is just like the flu. Really!!?? Over 500K dead in the states alone over this past year. Amazing how many of the same people say a mask and the COVID vaccine are infringing on “their freedom” and a personal choice. Yet these very same people don’t believe in a woman’s choice. Too bad ignorance isn’t painful.
Damn, this is a selfish and greedy country!!
Kudos to the people who respect the right of other people to take precautions and NOT GET SICK.
Go Crew
And nearly 7x that number dead in the world combined…
People die of car crashes and smoking and drug overdose and the flu. It’s kinda a thing that people don’t live forever. Make good choices for yourself don’t tell others what to do.
Three of the things you cited, cars, smoking and drugs, have hundreds of laws in the US telling people what they can or cannot do with them.
Peculiar is how the cause of death for literally everything else plummited.
Again… Factually incorrect. Which makes it “literally” incorrect. Where do you get this crap? Did you hear Tucker say it?
Provisional 2020 data from the CDC:
Heart Disease: 690,000 deaths
Cancer: 598,000 deaths
Final 2019 data from the CDC:
Heart Disease: 659,000 deaths
Cancer: 599,000 deaths
Preliminary data for 2020 suggests that the other major causes of death were similar in numbers to 2020, and certainly not decreased. The age adjusted death rate was up 16% overall because of COVID.

Hey… Whoa. Let’s not let facts get in the way here.. MY man rjcollings1973 is NO SHEEP. He just gets all of his views and boilerplate talking points from the exact same three sources as the 30% of the population he’s in total lockstep with. Or goose step.
Hopefully this the end of the road for Zack Godley.
