As supervisor Pat Murphy advised MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy and different reporters, Corridor damage his knee whereas fielding a bunt single from Michael Siani within the second inning. The southpaw ended up lasting 3 2/3 innings and permitting 4 runs on 5 walks and 5 hits, although the sprain can’t be blamed for all these struggles, as Corridor had already given up three walks and two hits earlier than Siani’s single.
It stays to be seen how a lot time Corridor might miss, as whereas Murphy described the pressure as “delicate,” the damage was nonetheless underneath analysis. Nonetheless, the 15-day absence solely provides to what has been a dreadful begin to each Corridor’s 2024 season and his Brewers tenure altogether.
Acquired from the Orioles as a part of the Corbin Burnes commerce package deal, Corridor labored nearly completely as a reliever in his two earlier MLB seasons in Baltimore, however the Brewers opted to stretch him out as a starter.

Murphy advised reporters yesterday that issues must enhance to ensure that Corridor to stay in Milwaukee’s rotation, although this damage might put that call on maintain for a minimum of a few weeks.
McCalvy figures that Bryse Wilson will possible be moved into the rotation in Corridor’s place in the meanwhile, each due to Wilson’s current expertise as a spot starter and as a consequence of a relative lack of different wholesome choices. Corridor joins Jakob Junis on the large league injured checklist, and high prospect Robert Gasser is on the IL at Triple-A. Koenig has some beginning expertise however has labored primarily as a reliever because the begin of the 2023 marketing campaign, so it appears likelier that he’ll simply exchange Wilson within the lengthy reduction function.
