Brewers' Perkins will miss the beginning of the season

Phoenix – The Outfield by Milwaukee Brewers Blake Perkins is expected to miss the first month of the season after having broken his right shin during the impact training.

Brewers Manager Pat Murphy revealed the seriousness of Percins injury against the Perkins violation against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.

“They appreciate another three to four weeks to heal and an increase of four to six weeks,” said Murphy. “So you probably look at May.”

The 28-year-old Perkins fought in 121 games last season. He was also a finalist of the NL Gold Glove in the Field Center.

“Perkins is a large part of our team,” said Murphy. “The team's chemistry, the whole, perk is huge. He is one of the most popular boys in the club and he is a great defender who comes to his own as an offensive player. Yes, it will hurt us. “

Murphy also said that the right-handed Pitcher JB Bukauskas has a serious LAT injury and discusses an operation. Bukauskas had an ERA of 1.50 ERA in six relief goods last year, but missed a large part of the season with a LAT problem.
