Tobias Myers left his start against the Los Angeles Angels with left oblique discomfort. The right-hander felt something as he threw a pitch in the second inning and immediately motioned to the Brewers’ dugout. Myers was then removed from the game after a brief talk with the training staff.

Newcomer Nestor Cortes will follow Opening Day starter Freddy Peralta during the Brewers’ season-opening at Yankee Stadium, manager Pat Murphy confirmed Saturday, but after that, the Brewers were facing some tough decisions in their starting rotation.

The Brewers, who have dealt with a rash of pitching injuries over the last year, have now lost Tobias Myers to an oblique issue.
