Barely two weeks into the 2025 Major League Baseball season, the Milwaukee Brewers’ roster – especially their pitching – has been battered by injuries.
Milwaukee went into its first off day of the season with nine players on the IL, eight of them pitchers including seven starters after veteran left-hander Nestor Cortes landed on the IL Sunday with a left flexor strain.
As the Brewers prepare to open a six-game swing through Colorado and Arizona, here’s a rundown on who’s out and how they’re faring in their recovery.

Injury: Right shin fracture
