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. “So you’re probably looking at May.” Perkins, 28, batted.240 with a.316 on-base percentage, six homers, 43 RBIs and 23 steals in 121 games last season. Yeah, it’s going to hurt us.” Murphy also said right-handed pitcher JB Bukauskas has what appears to be a serious lat injury and is debating whether to undergo surgery.
