TEMPE, Ariz. — During a recent Cactus League matchup, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Tobias Myers left the game early due to discomfort in his left oblique. The right-handed pitcher exited the game after pitching 1 2/3 innings, helping his team secure a 4-0 win against the Los Angeles Angels.
The Brewers manager, Pat Murphy, expressed concern about Myers’ condition, highlighting the sensitivity of oblique injuries. “Oblique injuries are always concerning, whether they’re mild or more severe. It was significant enough for him to leave the game,” Murphy remarked to reporters following the incident.
Despite the setback, Myers conveyed a cautiously optimistic outlook, indicating plans to undergo imaging to assess the severity of the injury. “I’ve been told it’s likely mild, which is reassuring,” Myers mentioned. “It doesn’t feel overly severe, but I want to be cautious and get it checked out to be safe.”
Myers, now 26, came off an impressive rookie season, recording a 9-6 win-loss record with a solid 3.00 ERA. He was pivotal in the Brewers’ successful campaign towards their second consecutive National League Central title. In the climax of the National League Wild Card Series, Myers delivered five scoreless innings, conceding just two hits and no walks. Despite his effort, the Brewers lost that decisive game 4-2 to the New York Mets after his departure without a decision.
