Return not close Fisher (hamstring) may not be able to get back on the field before the end of camp, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Fisher left Sunday's game against the Marines with a strained hamstring. He isn't expected to get back on the field until very late in camp at the earliest, which seemingly takes him out of contention for the Opening Day roster. Even when healthy, he'll be battling Tyrone Taylor and Billy McKinney for the fifth outfielder job.

Slated to miss time Fisher (hamstring) is expected to miss time after leaving Sunday's spring game against Seattle, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Fisher was diagnosed with left hamstring discomfort following his early departure Sunday, and the injury will likely impact his availability for the start of the regular season. The 27-year-old was competing for a backup role in the outfield but could now have to begin the season in the minors following his injury.

Impact Fisher was removed from Sunday's game in the top of the fourth inning after sustaining a left hamstring injury while running from first to home. The 27-year-old is competing for a depth role in Milwaukee's outfield during spring training, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Exits with apparent injury Fisher left Sunday's spring game against the Mariners with an apparent hamstring injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Fisher went from first to home on a Zach Green double in the top of the fourth inning Sunday, but he appeared hobbled as he went back to the dugout. Trainers appeared to be looking at his left hamstring in the dugout, and he was removed from the game as a result of the injury. The severity of the issue isn't yet known.

Heating up in Arizona Fisher went 5-for-9 (.555) with a home run, two doubles, six RBI and three runs over his last five spring games.
Impact Fisher went 0-for-5 over his first two appearances of the spring, but he has racked up all kinds of hits since. He is out of options, which will help his chances of remaining on the Brewers' roster when spring training comes to a close. However, if Lorenzo Cain (quad) is ready for Opening Day, there will only be one outfield spot -- at most -- up for grabs, and Fisher will need to beat out Tyrone Taylor to claim it.

Placed on injured list Fisher was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee contusion Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Fisher was hit by a pitch during a live batting practice session, and he'll miss at least 10 days as a result. With just under two weeks remaining in the regular season, it's unclear whether he'll be able to return prior to the postseason. Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and should serve as the primary right fielder going forward.
