Gwynn out for today's game

Don’t expect to see Tony Gywnn Jr. make an appearance in today’s game.

The young center fielder injured his hamstring during Thursday’s game against the Chicago Cubs and is most likely out of commission today.

“I’m just trying to stay positive,” said Gwynn, who sounds almost exactly like his Hall of Famer father. “Hopefully I won’t be (out for) too long.”

Gwynn had a rather productive series in Chicago, going 4-for-7. He had the game-winning RBI in the season opener and was the only Brewers player to have a hit in all three games.

Brewers manager Ned Yost said before today’s game he wasn’t sure how long Gwynn would be out or if he’d need to go on the disabled list. Gwynn was holding out hope he’d be able to play Saturday, but if the hamstring doesn’t get much better overnight, he probably won’t risk it.
