Milwaukee has placed southpaw pitcher DL Hall on the 15-day injured list following a left pectoral strain, announcing the move Friday along with other roster changes.
The 27-year-old Hall was among two Brewers relief pitchers who sustained injuries during Thursday’s 12-9 defeat to the San Francisco Giants at home.
During the fifth inning, Hall was seen hopping after delivering his 27th pitch of the contest. Following a consultation with Brewers manager Pat Murphy and Milwaukee’s medical staff, the southpaw was removed from the game.
This season, Hall has posted a 2.03 ERA across 24 outings, including one starting assignment. According to Murphy, Hall’s expected recovery period ranges from four to six weeks.
The second player hurt Thursday, Grant Anderson, who was struck by a line drive on his right forearm, received negative X-ray results and was observed participating in pregame activities before Milwaukee’s Friday contest in Colorado.
Milwaukee also placed right-hander Jake Woodford on waivers, while promoting left-hander Brian Fitzpatrick and right-hander Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville.
The 29-year-old Woodford has registered a 6.94 ERA through 16 outings. Fitzpatrick, 26, has made four big league appearances in his career, all during this season, posting a 1.59 ERA. Yoho, 26, previously pitched for Milwaukee last year, recording a 7.27 ERA across eight contests.
