Chase Anderson’s best season of his career will be put on hold, as the Brewers placed the right-handed pitcher on the 10-day disabled list Thursday afternoon.
Anderson suffered a left oblique strain while swinging in his first at-bat of Milwaukee’s 4-3 loss to the Reds on Wednesday night.
“I swung at it, and it literally felt like someone stabbed me in the left side,” Anderson said.
Anderson has a 6-2 record with a 2.89 earned-run average, 85 strikeouts and just 27 walks in 16 starts this season.
Right-handed pitcher Jorge Lopez gets the call up for now to the Brewers bullpen.
