DR HQ: Brewers lose Gennett, Lucroy; plus Nathan/Peavy updates

Jonathan Lucroy (C, MIL)
Injury: Fractured left big toe
DL date: April 20
Estimated DL time: This is a tough injury for a catcher. It will negatively impact every part of his game, especially his balance, and his return can not be rushed. The current estimate has Lucroy being out until the later part of May until the first few days of June.

Joe Nathan (RHP, DET)
Injury: Torn ulnar collateral ligament/torn flexor tendon – right elbow.
DL date: Retro to April 7
Estimated DL time: There is no doubt his season is over. In addition, if the surgery confirms the fact he has both a flexor tendon tear AND a torn UCL, his career is very likely over. This deadly injury duo is very difficult to recover from, even if you are much younger.

At least we know what's going on with Mountcastle. Langford and Yelich are still open questions.
