The St. Louis River Walkers have learned that closer Bobby Westerman will miss the first five weeks of the season, after he suffered a herniated disc while pitching in a 4-2 win over Chicago on March 31
The Walkers acquired Westerman, 27, just before the trade deadline last season, and the right-hander shined down the stretch converting all 15 of his save opportunities while going 1-1 overall with a 0.98 ERA n 18 games.
Right-hander Nick Strother will likely be moved into the closer's role.
The 31-year-old served as the Walkers closer in 2035 until Westerman's arrival.
Overall, Strother pitched in 55 games going 4-2 with 18 saves and a 3.19 ERA.
