MILWAUKEE -- Jerad Eickhoff hopes the cortisone injection in his right wrist does the trick and that he can return to the mound without further complications this season.
Eickhoff, who has not pitched this season, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday in Philadelphia. He opened the season on the disabled list with a strained right lat, but he had a setback when he felt the same tingling and weakness in his right fingertips that ended his 2017 season during a rehab start. Four specialists ruled out thoracic outlet syndrome, which could have required a rib to be surgically removed.
