Injuries

A couple of Brewers suffered injuries this week. Chris Capuano experienced soreness in his throwing elbow while Rickie Weeks will also be out, probably to his benefit. This may give Weeks time to rest up and start his spring over in a way. He needs to take this time to forget his first games this spring. Other pitchers, such as Carlos Villanueva and Claudio Vargas will benefit from Capuanos absence. This is especially true in Villanueva's case. He will be given a significant chance to fight for a spot in the starting rotation while Capuano is out. Ned Yost has already expressed that if Villanueva isn't starting on the Brewers, he'll be starting for AAA Nashville. Vargas will also have a great oppurtunity to be back in the rotation, though it is l ikely he will be in long relief to start the season.
