The Brewers sent starter Adrian Houser to the 15-day injured list with a right flexor strain and recalled reliever Trevor Kelley in a corresponding move Friday afternoon.
Houser was removed in the third inning with right elbow tightness in Thursday’s game after just 42 pitches. After tests on Friday in Milwaukee revealed nothing severe, the Brewers moved him to the IL and it’s expected he’ll be throwing within a couple of weeks, according to a quote from manager Craig Counsell via MLB.com reporter Adam McCalvy.
Houser has a 4-8 record with a 4.72 ERA through 76.
