Angel Zerpa's Forearm Blows Up and the Brewers' Bullpen Just Got Worse
The Milwaukee Brewers are dealing with another injury headache. Left-handed reliever Angel Zerpa landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday because of left forearm tendinitis, with the move retroactive to Sunday. Translation: the Brewers have been without him for days already, and they're not getting him back anytime soon.
Timing Could Not Be Worse
Early April is when teams need their bullpen depth the most. Zerpa going down means Milwaukee is one reliever thinner at a point when every arm matters. The retroactive date to Sunday tells you the Brewers knew something was wrong days before making it official, and that's never a good sign. Forearm tendinitis in a relief pitcher is the kind of injury that can linger, especially if the team has to rush him back.

The Brewers will need to find answers in the back end of their bullpen while Zerpa heals up. Whether they call someone up or lean harder on guys already in the rotation, this is exactly the kind of roster shuffle that can derail early season momentum. Milwaukee sits at 15-13, so they can't afford to lose depth in key positions right now.
