Lucroy cleared to resume catching
The Brewers just announced some good news for catcher Jonathan Lucroy. He went back to Dr. Don Sheridan this morning and underwent x-rays on his fractured right pinkie finger that showed the injury was healing as expected. Lucroy was fitted for a splint, and cleared to resume catching bullpens and doing light throwing.
He will be evaluated again in a week, but today’s news no doubt came as good news for the Brewers’ No. 1 catcher, who was growing tired of inactivity. He fractured his finger on Feb. 23 in a fielding drill and is expected to need about a month to recover.
