Jhoulys Chacin had his second consecutive rough outing against the Reds on Wednesday. The Milwaukee Brewers opening day starter threw three innings and gave up four runs (three earned), six hits, and a walk with five strikeouts. He managed only 68 pitches.
Even though Chacin was on his way to a poor start, it was still odd to see him get pulled so early expecially considering how overworked the bullpen was over the last few days. As a result, fans and writers began speculating injury. Their fears were all but confirmed after the game.
Jhoulys Chacin “very likely” headed to the IL with a right oblique strain, Craig Counsell says.
