American Family Field, Milwaukee, WI

Corbin Burnes - Placed on injured listBurnes was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Thursday.

ImpactSince the Brewers didn't provide a reason for Burnes' placement on the injured list, the right-hander's absence is likely related to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. If that's the case, Burnes will be able to return once he clears all phases of the protocol. Burnes had been scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, but it's not clear whether he'll be cleared to return by then.

Alec Bettinger - Promotion officialThe Brewers recalled Bettinger from their alternate training site Thursday.

ImpactMilwaukee cleared a spot on the active roster for Bettinger by placing Corbin Burnes on the 10-day injured list for an unspecified reason. Since Burnes was scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, Bettinger could be a candidate to fill what will likely be a short-term opening in the Milwaukee rotation. The 25-year-old right-hander last pitched in affiliated ball in 2019, when he posted a 3.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 157:35 K:BB in 146.1 innings for Double-A Biloxi.

Josh Lindblom - Throws BPLindblom (knee) threw a round of live batting practice Thursday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

ImpactReserve catcher Luke Maile took some swings against Lindblom, as did rehabbing outfielders Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps). The fact that Lindblom is back on the mound just five days after landing on the 10-day injured list suggests that he's already making good progress in his recovery from a right knee effusion. Once the Brewers deem him ready to return from the IL, Lindblom will likely settle back into a long-relief role out of the Milwaukee bullpen.

Christian Yelich - Hits in simulated gameYelich (back) took at-bats in a simulated game Thursday at American Family Field, Jeff Levering of the Brewers Radio Network reports.

ImpactAs Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes, Yelich had been restricted to hitting out of a batting cage since landing on the injured list April 17, so his return to the field Thursday represents a fairly significant step forward in the recovery process. In addition to seeing that Yelich can take at-bats without discomfort, the Brewers will likely want to ensure the 2018 NL MVP can play the outfield and run the bases at 100 percent before activating him. He could have a chance to make it back from the IL at some point during the Brewers' four-game series with the Dodgers, which begins Thursday.

Lorenzo Cain - Appears in sim gameCain (quadriceps) was spotted Thursday taking at-bats in a simulated game, Jeff Levering of the Brewers Radio Network reports.

ImpactBoth Cain and Christian Yelich (back) took part in the simulated game, likely signaling that both outfielders should soon be back from the 10-day injured list. Assuming his strained left quad responds well to Thursday's workout, Cain could be activated at some point over the weekend for the Brewers' series with the Dodgers.

Dan Castano - Optioned to alternate campCastano was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

ImpactCastano was hit hard in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers and has posted a 4.72 ERA and 5:5 K:BB in 13.1 innings to begin the season. He'll now attempt to sort things out at the team's alternate training site. The Marlins haven't indicated who could take Castano's place in the rotation, but Nick Neidert could be an option to start in the near future.
