John Curtiss Placed On Injured List
3 years agoThe Milwaukee Brewers placed right-handed relief pitcher John Curtiss (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Per a tweet from the team, Curtiss has a torn UCL in his right elbow. It's unfortunate news as the reliever was enjoying a quality season out of the bullpen. In 44.1 innings this year, the right-hander had pitched to a 3.45 ERA, a 3.80 FIP, 44 strikeouts, and 12 walks. The 28-year-old looked like a potential high-leverage option for Milwaukee down the stretch after the team acquired him from the Miami Marlins at the trade deadline. However, he'll head to the injured list after just six appearances for his new team. If you're looking for a replacement on the Brewers' roster for Curtiss in deeper leagues where holds are part of the scoring, Brent Suter, Brad Boxberger, and Jake Cousins are three names to consider.
