The Milwaukee Brewers announced today that all-star catcher Jonathan Lucroy will miss 4-6 weeks with a hamstring strain. According to Brewers assistant manger Gord Ash, Lucroy’s agent called him to tell him about the hamstring injury, and didn’t go into detail about how the injury occurred. Lucroy was the best hitter on the Brewers last season with a batting average of .301.
The Lucroy hamstring injury was diagnosed Monday by Dr. William Raasch and confirmed yesterday by Dr. Lee Kaplan.
