It’s only the second day of spring training and yet the Brewers already find themselves facing trouble with pitcher health.
After it was announced on Thursday that Aaron Ashby would miss a few months with shoulder inflammation, Adam McCalvy announced Friday that Jason Alexander would likewise miss sometime with a shoulder injury.
Besides Aaron Ashby, one other Brewers pitcher is significantly behind at the start of camp. Jason Alexander’s right shoulder flared up when he began ramping up last month and he’s expected to be down until the second half of May or so.
