Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was sent down to Triple-A San Antonio on Friday, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Twitter. (Tom Haudricourt on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact:

Burnes is a darling of the spin rate revolution and was excellent while pitching in relief for the Brewers last season, but he struggled out of the gate as a starter this year and has a 10.70 ERA and 2.15 WHIP through his firs four starts. He does have 24 strikeouts over his first 17 2/3 innings, however, so the Brewers hope that a trip back down to the minor leagues will help him work through whatever his current issues are.
