PHOENIX -- Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett's spring debut will be delayed about a week by a sore throwing shoulder, manager Craig Counsell said Thursday.
Gennett has also been battling a respiratory illness in recent days.
"It was just gradual soreness," Gennett said of his shoulder. "I'm not excited about it. I'd rather be playing, obviously."
Said Counsell: "I think he's going to be a week away, probably. But we're treating it day to day, and with improvement, it could be faster."
With a full camp, the Brewers have plenty of other middle infielders to cover second base in Gennett's absence.
