Brewers pitching staff already banged up

Milwaukee heads into this one thinner on the mound than they'd like, with Dustin May exiting his start against the Mets after just one pitch after getting struck in the upper back by a line drive off the bat of A.J. Ewing.

Keys to the game

Brandon Woodruff's latest shoulder injury won't require surgery, which is a relief for a Brewers rotation already dealing with May's scary exit, though the two-time All-Star has a history of arm issues to monitor.

Injury report

Who is unavailable, in each club’s own words to the league. A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is.
