Urías was obtained in a trade with the San Diego Padres last fall to compete for the starting job. With an estimated recovery period of up to eight weeks, he could open the season on the disabled list.

There are multiple reports that Milwaukee has signed a one-yer deal with veteran reliever David Phelps. Phelps posted a 3.41 earned run average with the Blue Jays and Cubs last season, after missing the 2018 campaign because of Tommy John surgery.
