Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta had to leave today’s game in the fourth inning due to right shoulder tightness. Manager Craig Counsell told reporters (including Andrew Wagner) will be placed on the injured list, and an MRI will reveal more about Peralta’s condition tomorrow.
Something was clearly off with Peralta all game, as he allowed five runs on six hits over his three-plus innings of work in today’s 8-2 Brewers loss to the Nationals. Only two of those runs came in Peralta’s first three frames, but after allowing hits to the first three batters faced in the fourth inning, Peralta left the game after a mound visit from the team trainer.
Peralta also missed about two weeks late last season with inflammation in that same shoulder. That IL visit was pretty much the only blemish in an otherwise terrific year for the righty, as Peralta posted a 2.81 ERA, 33.6% strikeout rate, and 9.7% walk rate over 144 1/3 innings. This earned Peralta his first All-Star appearance, and also cemented his spot in Milwaukee’s rotation after working mostly as a part-time starter or swingman role in his first three Major League seasons.
The Brewers will undoubtedly miss Peralta while he recovers, especially since the club is set to play 15 games over the next 14 days. However, the Brew Crew are one of the few teams with a deep enough rotation to potentially withstand the loss, as Aaron Ashby is on hand to fill Peralta’s spot in the starting five. Counsell confirmed that the team would stay with a five-man rotation, so a spot starter will be required at some point over this busy stretch of the schedule (probably when the Brewers face the Cubs in a doubleheader on May 30).
Uh oh! Really hope this isn’t serious. Last season was such an amazing breakout.
I basically make about $6,000-$8,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it….

Ok it’s time to bring Turang and Small up together. Stern get a set and do this
Small has been battling an illness but his numbers at AAA are quite good.
Throw Ashby into the rotation and call up small get well Willy!!!
Freddy?
Freddy and Willy.
Besides the injury, he was probably sick from the terrible defense behind him. Good old Schroeder jinx strikes again.
Josh Lindblom lines up for a spot start here + solid triple A numbers (3 scoreless yesterday in Nashville) and milwaukee is paying him $3m this season.
Might as well see if they can get something from him if they need 1 or 2 starts from someone.
