Milwaukee Brewers placed his left hand Nestor Cortes on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with a flexor stem in his pitching elbow.
Cortes is on its way to the damaged list due to a flexor tribe for the second time in eight months. He returned from the injury and was able to beat the World Series last season for the New York Yankees.
Brewers Assistant General Manager Matt Kleine told reporters that the start button’s injury is not expected to be a “long -term question.”
Also on Sunday, the brewers recalled left-hander Graham Wolfram from Triple-A Nashville.
Cortes (1-1, 9.00) recovered from a catastrophic season-opening excursion against Yankees by allowing a hit over six shutdowns in a 1-0 victory over Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.
Cortes was definitely better than his previous trip to Haugen, where he gave a Homer on each of his first three heights on a 20-9 loss to New York. The 30-year-old gave up eight runs, six hits and five walks in two rounds.
Cortes owns a record of 34-22 with a 3.88 era in 137 career games (88 starts) with Baltimore Orioles (2018), Yankees (2019, 2021-24), Seattle Mariners (2020) and Brewers.
Wolfram, 28, has a 6.00 era without a decision in two relief performances this season for the sounds.
