Milwaukee cleared space on the 40-man roster by sending left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny to the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee went into the All-Star break with a five-game lead in the NL Central. They trailed the defending NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers by 1 1\/2 games in the league standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers own a 3.48 team ERA that ranks second in the majors \u2014 behind only the New York Yankees \u2014 but injuries to their starting rotation left them seeking depth.<\/p>\n<p>Two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff is on the 60-day injured list after an MRI exam revealed a new injury to the anterior capsule in his shoulder, which was surgically repaired after the 2023 season.
