MILWAUKEE -- A minor complication related to Brewers reliever Michael Blazek's broken right hand required he be fitted with a new cast for at least the next three weeks, adding doubt to his ability to pitch again this season.
Blazek said he still isn't sure how he suffered a fracture to the bone that runs from his right wrist to his pinky finger. But X-rays showed that the jagged break created a spur of bone, Blazek said, that needed to be pushed back into place and set.
"We'll take it off to see how it healed, then do some hand strengthening stuff," Blazek said.
