While the outbreak of COVID-19 for the Milwaukee Brewers hasn’t been an explosion, it has turned into a bit of a slow burn. Unfortunately, the team can’t fully escape it yet, and a few more players have gone down to it. Yesterday, Adam McCalvy reported that Adrian Houser and Jandel Gustave have tested positive for COVID-19 as well. A roster move was not officially announced by the Brewers yesterday.
With Adrian Houser, the Brewers have now placed nine players on the COVID-19 IL in the last 11 days.

The pitching staff has been decimated in recent days, and it’s now hitting the starting pitchers in addition to the relievers.
