Burnes to IL

[Warning Track Power]

What is this garbage?!

 

[Eye Black]

Well this has certainly been a bad news day for Wisconsin sports.

Well this has certainly been a bad news day for Wisconsin sports.

 

Amen to that.

[markedman5]

When it rains it pours.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Because of course.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

I'm really hoping this is nothing with Burnes and basically a method of early season load management where he basically just skips one start.

[Eye Black]

Adam McCalvy seems to be speculating it could be the COVID IL (which can be due to contact tracing needs, and not necessarily just for a positive test). The team didn’t designate him for the “10-day Injured List” which they did do with Zack Godley.

 

There is no restriction on the minimum number of days for someone placed on the COVID IL.

 

EDIT: Here is the wording from the Brewers directly...

 

RHP Corbin Burnes placed on the injured list.

 

RHP Zack Godley placed on the 10-day injured list with a right index finger contusion.

Get your vaccines people, we're trying to win baseball games here!

[PinaMadness]

Can someone make a list of Brewers that are not on the IL for me? At this point it would be much easier than telling me who is.

[wibadgers23]

So he’ll miss a minimum of two starts?

[Eye Black]

So he’ll miss a minimum of two starts?

That’s hard to say. If he’s on the COVID IL due to contact tracing he could be cleared by this weekend. That’s obviously the very best possible scenario right now. If he is COVID positive, then yeah he’ll be out awhile.

I thought the entire team was vaccinated on Easter Sunday?

[JohnBriggs12]

Bettinger takes his start Sunday?

[djoctagone]

if it's covid-related, his spot opens up on the 40-man roster.

Asked if team hit 85% level mandated by MLB, Stearns said he won't get into specifics but added there was "a good chunk of our roster vaccinated." He said players were educated and took the matter seriously. Said he is very pleased with initial turnout. Team got one dose J&J.

No guaranty as to whether everyone on the team got vaccinated, FWIW.

[patrickgpe]

Ok thanks. I have tickets on Sunday and was looking forward to him trying to break the "record". oh well.

They were educated and took the matter seriously? Apparently not. I know it's not the case, but players that make that choice should not get paid for time they miss due to COVID.

[JohnBriggs12]

That would free up a one off for Ashby or Small wouldn't it?

[patrickgpe]

well they would have to clear a spot when he returns I would assume.

[jerichoholicninja]

Plenty of players have gone of the COVID list due to reactions from the shot. This could be it.

[SeaBass]

And the hits just keep on coming. Sigh.

[Patrick425]

Seems unlikely given where we are in the season. Seems like most players that got the vaccine shot got it earlier this month (and I read Brewer players got the J&J shot - so one and done). Had to google what you said. Only found two players (but maybe there were more). Garrett Cooper and Gio Urshela, and I believe both were only out for a few days. So, hopefully that's the case, but again, I really doubt it unless Burns just recently decided he wanted the shot. Also, I believe I read that Bettinger will make his MLB debut Sunday. No need to announce that if it's just a matter of Corbin getting over a reaction to the shot.

I've had at least 3 others on my fantasy team. Greg Holland, Jake McGee, and Diego Castilla all missed a game or two over the last week.
