Brewers Place Jake Cousins On Injured List, Reinstate Victor Caratini

By Darragh McDonald | May 1, 2022 at 12:11pm CDT

The Brewers have announced that they have placed right-handed pitcher Jake Cousins on the 10-day injured list with right elbow effusion, relays Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The same news was relayed by Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, who describes the injury as a buildup of fluid. Catcher Victor Caratini returns from the Covid-related injured list in a corresponding move. Players on the Covid-IL don’t count against a club’s 40-man roster, but the Brewers had an open spot in that regard, negating the need for a move there.

Cousins, 27, made his MLB debut with the Brewers last year, throwing 30 innings with a 2.70 ERA, excellent 35.2% strikeout rate but high walk rate of 15.2%. He’s largely carried over that profile this year so far, logging another eight innings with a 4.50 ERA, 13 strikeouts and 5 walks. The club hasn’t provided a timeline for the injury, but it’s always somewhat concerning when a pitcher has issues with his elbow.

Caratini went on the Covid-IL April 26 and now returns five days later. After Pedro Severino was given an 80-game suspension during Spring Training, the Brewers had to scramble and quickly traded for Caratini and Alex Jackson just a few days before Opening Day. Caratini has been great so far, in the small sample of eight games, hitting .238/.360/.429, 132 wRC+. Jackson was called up to take Caratini’s place when the latter went on the shelf, but seems to be sticking around for now. Along with Omar Narvaez, that gives the club three catchers for the time being. However, rosters are shrinking from 28 to 26 after today’s game, meaning Jackson could be optioned back to Triple-A.

    Is this the, “he won’t be able to pitch for several days anyway and we need to reactivate Victor” injured list?

      Did they “need” to activate Carott-ini today though? Not familiar with the covid IL time frame. As for Cousins, he just had a 35(ish) pitch inning, which surely didn’t help matters.

      I think the roster trim is a good thing. We all know Counsell has his favorite BP guys, and with the blowouts recently 2 or 3 guys are barely getting used.

      There was no need to put him on DL because a spot was open for Caratini. TLDR?

    Scot cousins must never show his face in public again lest he face rightly earned ridicule for his evil and hurtful nature
