Shifted to 60-day injured list The Brewers transferred Cortes (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday.
Impact The transaction frees a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Craig Yoho. Cortes now will not be eligible to return until June. He was given a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left elbow earlier this month to combat a flexor strain and it's not clear when he might be ready to throw again.

Brewers call up Logan Henderson as they seek reinforcements for injury-riddled pitching staff

The Milwaukee Brewers have recalled Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville to help a pitching staff dealing with multiple injuries
APRIL 15, 2025 • Associated Press
Receives injection Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Cortes has received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left elbow, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Cortes' injection will work to help his elbow recover from the strain that forced him to the injured list Sunday, but it will likely prevent him from throwing for a few days. He'll remain without a return timeline until he's cleared to begin a throwing program.

Will seek second opinion on elbow Cortes, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow strain prior to Sunday's game against the Reds, said he will receive a second opinion on his injury, Sophia Minn...
Impact After he was lit up by the Yankees for eight earned runs over two innings in his Brewers debut last weekend, Cortes acknowledged that he was feeling more sore than usual and not recovering well following that start. However, with an MRI earlier this week revealed nothing concerning, Cortes felt well enough to pitch Thursday and delivered a gem in the Brewers' win over the Reds, allowing just three baserunners and striking out six over scoreless innings. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Cortes' elbow still felt sore Friday, prompting him to alert the Brewers' medical team Saturday. A collective decision was made for Cortes to skip his next start and go on the IL, but the Brewers are still in the information-gathering stage and aren't yet worried about a long-term absence for the southpaw. For his part, Cortes described his level of concern as "pretty low," but a timeline for his return as well as a treatment plan for his elbow might not be established until he gets checked out by another doctor. Cortes is now the eighth Milwaukee starting pitcher to hit the IL this season, leaving Freddy Peralta as the lone healthy member of the Brewers' planned five-man rotation.

Goes on IL with elbow strain The Brewers placed Cortes on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left elbow flexor strain.
Impact After serving up five home runs and allowing eight runs in total over two innings against the Yankees in his Brewers debut March 29, Cortes bounced back nicely in his second start Thursday, holding the Reds scoreless while allowing one hit and two walks over six innings in a winning effort. Unfortunately, Cortes appears to have emerged from that outing with an elbow issue, making him the eighth Brewers starting pitcher to land on the IL so far this season. The Brewers haven't provided an official timeline for Cortes' return, and fantasy managers may be in the dark in that regard until the southpaw is cleared to resume throwing.

Reds become first MLB team in 65 years to lose 3 consecutive 1-0 games
Rebounds with six one-hit innings Cortes (1-1) picked up the win after throwing six scoreless innings on one hit and two walks Thursday against the Reds. He struck out six.
Impact On the heels of being obliterated for eight runs his first start of the season against the Yankees, Cortes bounced back in a big way during his second start and didn't allow a baserunner in four of his six frames. Besides a Jose Trevino double in the third inning, Cincinnati offered very little resistance Thursday. Cortes will be working with some momentum in his next time out, but a scheduled matchup in Colorado in the middle of next week renders the left-hander a risky fantasy option.
