PHOENIX — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Blake Perkins is expected to miss the first month of the season after fracturing his right shin during batting practice. Brewers manager Pat Murphy revealed the severity of Perkins' injury before their Cactus League opener Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. Murphy said that "you're probably looking at May" for Perkins' return. The 28-year-old Perkins batted .240 with a .316 on-base percentage, six homers, 43 RBIs and 23 steals in 121 games last season. He also was an NL Gold Glove finalist at center field.
