MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewers third-base prospect Brock Wilken was placed on the 7-day injured list after getting hit on the face with a pitch during a minor league game. Wilken, the Brewers' 2023 first-round pick, was playing for Double-A Biloxi on Thursday when hit by a pitch from the Mississippi Braves' Domingo Gonzalez during the sixth inning of the Southern League game. Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said Wilken sustained multiple fractures but didn't have a concussion or experience vision issues. Arnold said surgery is likely once swelling has subsided but added Wilkens' long-term prognosis is good.
