If there’s good news for the Brewers’ Justin Topa, it’s that he likely won’t need another elbow surgery.
But the bad news is the team’s medical staff is still recommending rest and rehab that would keep the righty out at least half of the 2021 season.
Justin Topa has been diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow. Brewers are recommending rehab, but still expect Topa to miss at least half of the season. Topa is exercising his right to a second opinion.

Topa was pulled from action over the weekend when he experienced some discomfort in his twice-surgically-repaired pitching elbow.
