William Contreras Exits With Hand Injury, X-Rays Negative
William Contreras (hand) left a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday with an apparent hand injury, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Contreras took a swing off the hand on a catcher's interference in the seventh inning, and the Brewers replaced him with backup Danny Jansen in the eighth. X-rays came back negative after the game, and Contreras told manager Pat Murphy that he wants to play Sunday. Contreras, who went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk on Saturday, is slashing .265/.360/.407 with 17 homers, 76 RBI, and 89 runs scored in 147 games and 647 plate appearances. The two-time All-Star is among the playoff-bound Brewers' most important players, and fortunately, it appears he escaped a serious injury.
