Ailing Brewers, Marlins headed in different directions Field Level Media 07 May 2021, 20:19 GMT+10 The Milwaukee Brewers are two games over .500. The Miami Marlins are two games under .500. Yet, when the teams meet on Friday in Miami, it's the Marlins who will come in all smiles, on a three-game win streak. Milwaukee, meanwhile, arrives on a five-game losing skid. Injuries are a big part of the Brewers' story as they have had 19 players placed on the IL. The Brewers, among others, have star outfielder Christian Yelich (back stiffness) on the IL along with both their catchers, Omar Narvaez (left hamstring) and Manny Pina (fractured left big toe); and two of their top three starting pitchers, Corbin Burnes (undisclosed but believed to be COVID protocol) and Josh Lindblom (right knee).
