In a high-scoring battle on Thursday that ended in a 12-9 loss to the San Francisco Giants, the Milwaukee Brewers experienced a scare with two of their relievers.

Following a tough outing by rookie right-hander Coleman Crow that only lasted 2.1 innings, reliever DL Hall took the mound.

However, in the fifth inning, Hall had to exit the game with head athletic trainer Brad Epstein for what was later deemed to be a subscapularis/left pectoral injury for Hall, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

After the game, Hall provided his reaction to the injury.

"Yeah, I mean, I think obviously super disappointed, it's not ideal," Hall told the media. "But hopefully it's nothing crazy, and it'll be short-lived, but we'll see."

For Hall, this injury is a first.

"No, it's the first time," he said. "Just felt a couple pitches before I came out. I just felt my pec tighten up, and I tried to keep throwing through a couple sliders that kind of irritated it a little more, and just didn't want to push it further.

"Tried to at least finish that batter, but they didn't want me to," he added. "So probably a good idea, but yeah, don't really have much info yet."

Hall was fine in his bullpen warmups and up until the fifth inning, when the pain came on suddenly.

"It all happened on the mound," Hall said. "I mean, I was fine through my first two ups. And then, yeah, it just kind of really came out of nowhere."

After Hall left the game, Grant Anderson took over in relief, but also made an injury-induced exit after he was struck by a line drive off the bat of Bryce Eldridge in the seventh inning. Anderson received an X-ray and avoided any fractures, but his arm was severely swollen and marked by the seams of the ball.

Hall, 27, has been a solid presence out of the bullpen for the Brewers. In his fifth season and third with Milwaukee, he has appeared in 24 games (one start) and has a 2.03 ERA through 31 total innings of work. 

Hall and Anderson join a growing list of Brewers pitchers on the Injured List. Names like Brandon Woodruff, Quinn Priester, and Logan Henderson occupy the space along with Jared Koenig, Rob Zastryzny and Angel Zerpa. 

The Brewers have found success so far in the season, and large contributions have come from their stable of arms. Therefore, it is imperative that their pitching depth does not continue to thin out.
