Brewers' William Contreras (head) not in Monday lineup
Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (head) was not listed as a starter for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
What It Means
Contreras suffered a head injury defending home plate on a game-saving out in the ninth inning of last night's clash with the Cincinnati Reds, but the team has not released an official statement about his health since the event. He was able to leave the field under his own power and was seen celebrating the win with his teammates afterwards, so hopefully the star catcher was able to avoid a significant injury. He's up to 9 home runs, 53 runs, 48 RBI, 5 stolen bases, a .305 average and a .834 OPS through 316 plate appearances this season. The team will likely rely on Gary Sanchez to handle most of their catching duties if Contreras misses much time.
