Brewers All-Star pitcher Woodruff on injured list

The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-handed starter Brandon Woodruff on the 15day injured list with a right high ankle sprain on Monday.

Woodruff a two-time All-Star, suffered the injury in his previous start, on Friday at St. Louis when he pitched four innings in a loss. He’s 5-3 with a 4.74 ERA this season.

Manager Craig Counsell said Woodruff was experiencing pain when throwing. He didn’t have an exact schedule for the 29-year-old’s return.

Woodruff’s loss is another setback for Milwaukee’s rotation.

All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta went on the 15-day IL on May 23 with a right posterior shoulder strain.

• Just a day after being recalled from Triple-A St. Paul, Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis was placed on the injured list due to a bone bruise on his right knee.

In Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Royals, the former JSerra High star was playing center field in the majors for the first time but was injured when he collided with the wall while making a catch in the third inning.

The Twins announced later Monday that Carlos Correa has tested positive for COVID-19.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said the 27-year-old shortstop had not been feeling well but doesn’t have significant symptoms.

• Kansas City Royals pitcher Zack Greinke was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained right forearm.

The 38-year-old Greinke complained of tightness in his arm following Sunday’s start in Minnesota. He allowed five runs — all on three home runs — in four innings in a 7-3 loss to the Twins.

Greinke is 0-4 with 5.05 ERA this season.

A six-time All-Star in his 19th big league season, Greinke is in his second stint with the Royals, who signed him to a $13 million, one-year contract in March.
