IL stint 'distinct possibility' for Brewers' Kolten Wong - Yardbarker

Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong departed the team’s game against the Cardinals on Thursday after re-aggravating his left oblique, manager Craig Counsell told Andrew Wagner of the Wisconsin State Journal and other reporters.

It’s the same issue that kept Wong from playing Wednesday, and Counsell said there’s a “distinct possibility” that he’ll require a trip to the injured list, via Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Wong, previously with St. Louis, joined the Brewers on a two-year, $18M contract during the offseason.

If he does have to miss time shortly into his Brewers tenure, it would be another blow to the middle infield depth of a team that traded Orlando Arcia to Atlanta earlier this week.

The Brewers did add veteran Dee Strange-Gordon on a minor league contract Thursday, though Daniel Robertson – – who replaced Wong when he exited – would be the favorite to handle most of the reps at the keystone.
