Brewers starters Brandon Woodruff (ankle, Raynauds syndrome) and Freddy Peralta (right shoulder) are on the injured list along with six relievers.With the number of pitchers, unfortunately, weve got on the injured list, its taxed our depth significantly and you get to the point where a healthy pitcher, experienced, can make an impact for you, Counsell said.Gonzalez is 9-23 with a 5.69 ERA in parts of six big league seasons dating back to 2015. He had a 7.71 ERA in two starts for the Twins, who designated him for a signment Saturday.To make room for Gonzalez on the 40-man roster, the Brewers shifted Peralta to the 60-day injured list.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Woodruff threw a bullpen.
