The first-place Brewers lose a major piece of their rotation to an oblique injury

On Wednesday night, the Brewers fell to the Reds by a score of 4-3 (box score), but that probably wasn't their worst loss of the night.

Indeed, Chase Anderson in the second inning on Wednesday night suffered an oblique injury while batting and is going to be laid up for a while. This is a major blow to the Brewers, who are still clinging to first place in the mediocre NL Central. After 16 starts, Anderson boasts an ERA of 2.89 with a K/BB ratio of 3.15. The 29-year-old has been Milwaukee's best starting pitcher thus far in 2017.
