Brewers Shut Down Outfielder Following Setback In Rehab

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor's recovery from a sprained right elbow has hit a snag.

According to a report by Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the 29-year-old outfielder has encountered complications during his rehabilitation program, prompting his manager, Craig Counsell, to suspend the program for a week.

Another Brewers injury update: OF Tyrone Taylor (elbow) had what Craig Counsell characterized as a small setback and was shut down for a week. Taylor is approximately halfway through that rest period and then will resume throwing.

Taylor is currently halfway through a week-long shutdown period, unable to throw due to the setback. The hope is that he will be able to resume his throwing program next week, but his projected debut for the 2023 season may be delayed until late May.

Last season, Taylor posted a .233/.286/.442 triple-slash line, with 17 home runs, 51 RBIs, three stolen bases and 49 runs scored across 120 games.
