Brewers News: Milwaukee Gets Good Kolten Wong Injury Update The Milwaukee Brewers got some great news with Kolten Wong's latest injury update.

JULY 16, 2021 • FANDUEL.COM

Likely to return Friday or Saturday Wong (calf) is likely to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday or Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact After some additional time off to rest his calf over the All-Star break, the second baseman looks to be in a good spot health-wise. Based on Haudricourt's report, Wong doesn't look like he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, though the 30-year-old may need to put in a full workout in front of the coaching and medical staff before officially rejoining the active roster. Whether Wong is reinstated Friday or Saturday, his return should translate to fewer starts in the infield for Jace Peterson and Pablo Reyes.
