Brewers All-Star closer Corey Knebel had to be carried to the locker room after suffering an apparent hamstring injury. The injury happened in a meaningless 8-0 game.

Knebel suffered a knee injury on the same leg in spring training. This injury appears to be a little more serious and the Brewers have already placed him on the DL as they wait for an MRI.
Brewers All-Star closer Corey Knebel threw a pitch and went down holding his left leg/knee. He had an issue with that knee in Spring Training. Being helped off the mound and cannot put any weight on that leg.

Brewers will place Corey Knebel on the disabled list with a left hamstring injury. He will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the extent of the injury.

Add snapping your hamstring while throwing a pitch to the list of freak baseball injuries. That’s a tough break at the beginning of the season for the Brew Crew.
