Milwaukee Brewers Pitcher Jakob Junis Injured by Fly Ball During Batting Practice
Brewers pitcher Jakob Junis suffered a scary injury while jogging during batting practice before Monday's game, leading to a trip to the hospital.
By the Numbers- Junis signed a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers this offseason for $4 million this year with a mutual option for 2025.
- Junis had previously played for the Royals and Giants organizations before joining the Brewers.
Junis was already on the injured list for a right shoulder impingement before this new injury, potentially extending his time on the IL.
State of Play- Junis was conscious and responsive when taken to the hospital for further evaluation after being hit by a fly ball in the neck.
- His availability for the season may be further impacted as DL Hall and Wade Miley also recently joined the IL.
Junis' recovery timeline and potential return to the rotation will depend on the evaluation of his new injury and its impact on his existing shoulder issue.
Bottom LineDespite the scare, Junis' health and well-being are the top priority, and the Brewers will need to navigate potential pitching challenges with his extended absence.
