MILWAUKEE -- After collapsing on the mound Thursday due to a left hamstring injury, Brewers closer Corey Knebel wondered if his season was over. Manager Craig Counsell had the same concern.
On Friday, Knebel had an MRI scan and got encouraging news. The Brewers did place Knebel on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring and recalled right-hander Adrian Houser from Double-A Biloxi, but the prognosis for Knebel's recovery -- minimum four weeks sidelined, and perhaps more like 6-8 weeks -- could have been much worse.
"Not as serious as everybody thought, which is good news," Knebel said.
