Brewers place starter Corbin Burnes on injured list for unknown reasons

One of the best pitchers in the MLB so far this year will be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time.

The Milwaukee Brewers have placed starting pitcher Corbin Burnes on the injured list with an undisclosed ailment.

The 26-year-old has been on an absolute tear to start the 2021 campaign, propelling himself to be one of the league’s premier pitchers. So far this season, he has posting a 2-2 record with a 1.53 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and has yet to record a single walk through five starts and 29.2 innings pitched.

According to manager Craig Counsel, it doesn’t appear to be a long-term injury. He wasn’t put on the 10-day IL and is still available to make his next scheduled start.
