The Milwaukee Brewers' four-day break brought on by a COVID-19 outbreak in the St. Louis clubhouse did have at least one bright spot.
As the Brewers sat by while their series against the Cardinals last week was postponed, right-hander Josh Lindblom got extra time to heal from back spasms that cut short his Milwaukee debut.
Now rested and ready, Lindblom will look to help the visiting Brewers defeat the Chicago White Sox for a second straight night Thursday and salvage a split of the teams' four-game, interleague home-and-home series.
Lindblom experienced sudden back spasms that forced him to leave his club debut on July 28 at Pittsburgh after 3 2/3 innings.
