The Milwaukee Brewers placed pitcher Grant Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right biceps inflammation. The move follows Anderson's 44-pitch outing during Sunday's 12-8 loss against the Cincinnati Reds. Manager Pat Murphy stated the team identified the injury after the pitcher reported discomfort following his 2 2/3 innings of work. The organization recalled Brandon Sproat from Triple-A Nashville to address a need for bullpen depth. Milwaukee's relief staff has faced significant strain recently as starting pitchers failed to exceed four innings in three consecutive weekend games. Sproat, who holds a 0-1 record with a 4.00 ERA at the Triple-A level, will provide necessary length for the MLB-leading club.
