Milwaukee Brewers: Why isn’t Brett Lawrie participating?

The good news is that Brett Lawrie isn’t injured. The bad news is that he won’t participate in baseball activities for the next six weeks, and he’s a solid bet to stick around in extended Spring Training for a while. What’s going on with the Milwaukee Brewers former first rounder?

Why is Lawrie being held out?

Brett Lawrie won’t appear in big league camp and won’t play for the Brewers in any Cactus League games, Craig Counsell said. After two years away, Lawrie will need to get a foundation before playing games. So it’s more of a long-term signing.
