Things are quickly going from bad to worse for the Brewers. Jonathan Lucroy had to exit tonight’s game against the Reds after taking a foul tip off his foot and Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that he was diagnosed with a broken left toe.
No word on how long Lucroy will be sidelined, but this is brutal news for a team who currently has the worst record in the majors at 2-11 and is already missing star center fielder Carlos Gomez due to a hamstring injury.
The Brewers figure to rely on a combination Martin Maldonado and Juan Centeno behind the plate for now. That’s a big downgrade from Lucroy’s All-Star production.
