Brewers OF Hunter Renfroe placed on 10-day IL with calf strain

By Mike Santa Barbara  |  Last updated 6/26/22

On Sunday, the Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Hunter Renfroe on the 10-day injured list with a strained left calf. 

Renfroe has been out of the Brewers' lineup since June 22. On Sunday, he told MLB.com's Adam McCalvy that after testing the calf pregame on Saturday, he went for an MRI which showed more damage than initially thought. 

The 30-year-old added that running wasn't an issue but felt pain while walking. Renfroe plans to rest the calf and is optimistic he won't be out of action long. 

The 30-year-old has already spent time on the IL this season, missing 14 games due to a hamstring strain. 

In 54 games, Renfroe is batting .247/.300/.490 with 13 home runs and 27 RBIs. 

The Brewers called up utility man Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Nashville to replace Renfroe's spot on the active roster. 

Reyes batted .249/.326/.434 with six home runs and 25 RBIs in 44 games with Nashville this season. 

In four games with the Brewers this season, Reyes has four hits, a walk and a run scored in 14 at-bats. 

Reyes batted .256/.333/.359 with a home run, three RBIs and four stolen bases in 53 games with Milwaukee last season.
