Milwaukee Brewers right-hander J.B. Bukauskas will miss an undetermined amount of time with a lat injury.
Bukauskas, a former first-round draft pick by the Houston Astros in 2017, is deciding between rehab and surgery for an injury that happened during a throwing session last week.
It is yet another in a series of injuries for the formerly highly regarded 28-year-old pitcher, who has made 33 major league appearances with three different clubs. Bukauskas also has dealt with a torn teres major muscle, a cervical strain and a previous lat injury in April of last year.
Bukauskas had a 1.50 ERA in six relief appearances with the Brewers last season. He is 2-2 with a 5.04 ERA in his 33 relief appearances for the Arizona Diamondbacks (2021), Seattle Mariners (2023) and Brewers.
The Brewers also signed veteran outfielder Manual Margot to a minor league contract, according to multiple reports. Margot was added after outfielder Blake Perkins fractured his right shin on a foul ball during batting practice last week.
Margot, 30, is a career .254 hitter with 56 home runs and 314 RBIs in 917 games for the San Diego Padres (2016-19), Tampa Bay Rays (2020-23) and Minnesota Twins (2024).
