brett anderson injury thread

[djoctagone]

anderson has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring.

[folly412]

Shouldn't be a long-term injury, but comes at a time with no off day until May 10 so there there will be a need for 2-3 starts.

 

40-man options include Suter, Lindblom (IL), Lauer, Weigel, and Bettinger. The later two may have the most upside, but both were limited in the spring and may not be stretched out. I'll predict Suter, with Lauer getting called into the pen.

the brewers expect anderson to be out longer than 10 days.

brett anderson exited tonight's game with right knee discomfort.

"Likely IL," for Mr. Anderson per Craig Counsel.

Thinking we might see Lindblom. Given up one run in 18.1 IP in AAA, so fingers crossed he found something that will get MLB hitters out.

[pacopete4]

I hope we do see Lindblom. Paying him a lot of money to get AAA guys out.

Why give Lindblom another chance? Go with the hottest starter in the system, Ethan Small. This is a perfect chance to get his feet wet and measure where he's at.

ethan small is at class aa. last we knew, there were more hurdles to add players from class aa and lower.

When was the last time we called somebody up from AA to make their MLB debut? Doesn’t seem like a very Brewers thing to do.

Chris Saenz 2004?

Ethan Small was the best pitcher in the Southeastern Conference in 2019, which is a top collegiate league. He's not just pitching in AA, he's dominating AA. Peralta was just 21 and had a handful of starts at AAA when he debuted in 2018. I'd argue Small has much more of a resume than Freddy did at the time he was called up.

 

All the reports on Small when he was drafted was that he was most finished college pitcher in the draft. If not for last year being lost to covid, he'd almost certainly be at AAA now.

On June 2nd, the Twins called up Gilberto Celestino directly from AA. It looks like he played on May 30 in Wichita and then on June 2nd for the Twins. Does anyone know what enabled him to move quickly despite COVID protocols?

brett anderson has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee contusion.

[young guns]

I wonder, if Ashby wasn't being groomed to come up as a reliever later this year, if he would be getting the call to replace Anderson.

[JohnBriggs12]

Ethan Small is now at Nashville. The timing with Anderson's injury is probably not coincidence.

[djoctagone]

brett anderson is expected to be out 10 - 14 days.

This was a planned promotion from AA to AAA. It is just a coincidence that Anderson also was injured at the same time. Even if Anderson wouldn't have been injured Small would have been moved to AAA.

[LouisEly]

How many Brewers pitchers have now been injured batting or running the bases?

[jerichoholicninja]

He hurt himself running to back up the plate.
