The Milwaukee Brewers continue to face a myriad of injuries, as starting second baseman Kolten Wong heads to the injured list with a right calf strain.
In other roster moves, the Brewers sent pitcher Luke Barker to AAA Nashville and recalled utility man Mark Mathias and pitcher Peter Strzelecki.
Wong was removed early in Tuesday night’s game against the Phillies and hasn’t played since. It’s unclear how serious the strain is, but it apparently warranted some time on the 10-day IL. He’s slashing .228/.321/.389 this year, slightly below his career averages.
Barker, who was called up to make his debut, has made three appearances so far, totaling four innings with an 11.
