Cousins (elbow) received a PRP injection Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins is dealing with a UCL injury in his right elbow, but he's opting against surgery for now. His recovery process was slowed after he recently tested positive for COVID-19, but he's since tested negative. Following Tuesday's injection, the 27-year-old will head to Arizona for 4-to-6 weeks of rest and rehab prior to beginning a throwing program.

Cousins (elbow) has opted against undergoing Tommy John surgery and will begin a rehab program for 6-to-8 weeks before being re-evaluated, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old is dealing with a UCL injury in his right elbow and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, though he'll avoid surgery for the time being. Cousins will likely be out through the All-Star break even if the rehab program goes smoothly since he'll need some time to rebuild his arm strength.

Cousins' elbow injury is a concerning one and may involve issues with his UCL, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins has been on the injured list for six days with what was originally called a right elbow effusion. The possibility of UCL issues is a serious one and implies that Tommy John surgery could be on the table. The Brewers expect to know more about the problem next week.

Cousins was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right elbow effusion, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis

Cousins (2-0) earned the win in relief Sunday against St. Louis after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and fanning one.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins bounced back from Saturday's outing in which he allowed one run and two hits over one inning against St. Louis, and now he clinched his second win of the season. He's looked effective so far and has posted three scoreless outings over his last four relief appearances while pitching to a 3.60 ERA over 5.0 innings to date.

Cousins struck out two batters and picked up a save in Tuesday's spring game.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins was knocked around a bit this spring, allowing five earned runs over 4.2 innings. However, he did post a 6:1 K:BB and ended the exhibition season on a high note. He won't be in position to pick up saves when the regular season gets underway, but he does figure to be part of the Brewers' late-inning mix, and the 13.2 K/9 he posted in his rookie season suggests he does have closer's stuff.

Cousins (biceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and included on Milwaukee's NLDS roster, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
President of baseball operations David Stearns said earlier in the week that Cousins was expected to be available against Atlanta, and the right-hander is now officially on the roster. The 27-year-old should fill a high-leverage role for the Brewers after posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 44:19 K:BB over 30 innings this season, especially with setup man Devin Williams (hand) sidelined.

Cousins (biceps) is expected to be activated prior to the NLDS on Friday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
President of baseball operations David Stearns said that Cousins is "good to go" for the upcoming playoff series against Atlanta. The reliever has been on the 10-day injured list since Sept. 25, but his return is a welcome one as he has a 2.70 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 30 appearances this season.

Cousins (biceps) reported to Triple-A Nashville for a rehab appearance Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cousins is then expected to rejoin the Brewers and continue to face live hitters in hopes of being activated ahead of the NLDS, which begins Friday. The 27-year-old has a 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 44:19 K:BB over 30 innings this season, and he could play a significant role in the playoffs with setup man Devin Williams out indefinitely with a fractured hand.
