Shower mishap sidelines Scooter Gennett (The Associated Press)

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett cut his left hand in the shower and needed five stitches, an injury that could land him on the disabled list.

Gennett sliced a knuckle on a metal rack after Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. He was out of Monday's lineup in Milwaukee.

''I went to grab some body wash like I would normally grab body wash,'' Gennett said. ''It was definitely a freakish thing. It started bleeding everywhere. I didn't feel any type of pain. I have my strength but something like that reopening and getting worse isn't what we want.
