MILWAUKEE (AP) -Brewers reliever David Riske left the team on its road trip in Chicago because of his ailing right elbow. He is scheduled for surgery Sept. 23 to have a bone spur removed.
Riske last pitched Sept. 7 when he gave up four runs in an inning against San Diego. He had a cortisone shot in the elbow the next day but couldn’t return to the mound.
Riske, a nine-year veteran, is 1-2 with a 5.31 ERA in 45 appearances in his first season in Milwaukee. He signed a three-year deal worth $13 million to bolster the bullpen but has struggled. He went on the disabled list in May and June with a hyperextended elbow.
