MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee placed right-hander Yovani Gallardo on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain and reinstated lefty Doug Davis from the DL.
Davis, on the disabled list since May 16 with inflammation of the lining around his heart, will start Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team said.
Gallardo’s move was retroactive to Monday, one day after he was named to the National League All-Star team for the first time — hours before he suffered the injury while throwing a pitch in the third inning of the Brewers’ game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The team had already said Gallardo (8-4, 2.58 ERA, 122 strikeouts) would miss his next start and the All-Star Game, and on Monday both Gallardo and Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin said the team would take a wait-and-see approach with the injury.
