Houser left with a trainer on Thursday during his start against the Pirates after just 2 1/3 innings pitched with the injury. There's no word on the exact nature of his elbow ailment, but Houser said he and the team were encouraged by initial tests. Elbow injuries are obviously worrisome, so expect Houser to miss more than the 15-day minimum. The Brewers should update his status after his MRI.

The 29-year-old was struggling in his 15th start of the season before leaving. He had given up three runs on two homers, walked one, and struck out none in 2 1/3 innings. We will know more after he is evaluated postgame, but fantasy managers should check the waiver wire for potential replacements, given that even minor pitching-arm injuries usually require missing a start or two.
