MILWAUKEE -- At the time, it looked a little suspicious. But on Friday, Zach Davies offered a fuller explanation for the wayward pitch that struck Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, and raised Rizzo's ire earlier this week at Wrigley Field.
It turns out Davies was hurting.
A day after the Brewers placed the right-hander on the 10-day disabled list with right rotator cuff irritation, Davies said he began feeling discomfort in his final inning of work in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Cubs. Thanks to some well-placed off-days, Davies expects to miss only one start.
