MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers All-Star right fielder Corey Hart will be activated Wednesday after missing the first three weeks of the season with an oblique strain.
Hart was injured early in spring training on a throw. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke says Hart will start Wednesday, but that he might not play all nine innings.
During Tuesday night’s batting practice, utility man Erick Almonte was hit in the forehead by a thrown ball while standing at first base. There was no immediate word on Almonte’s injury, but it took him several minutes to get up and he walked gingerly to the clubhouse.
Milwaukee is also sending right-hander Takashi Saito (left hamstring) and outfielder Nyjer Morgan (right thigh bruise) to Triple-A Nashville later this week to begin rehab assignments.
