Jimmy Nelson will miss the remainder of the season for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Nelson has a right rotator cuff strain and partial anterior labrum tear.

"Right now we know the mechanism of injury, which was sliding into the base," Stearns said. "We know generally what the injury is from the tests that we conducted this morning. In terms of treatment options, that is still to be determined."

Nelson is 12-6 with a 3.49 ERA, a career high for victories.
