How bad is it going for #Brewers. 2B Scooter Gennett cut his hand in shower after game Sunday, got stitches and will miss some time.

Gennett, 24, has gotten off to a slow start this season, hitting just .207 with one RBI and two runs scored. He's coming off a strong 2014 campaign that saw him hit .289 with nine homers and 54 RBI in 137 games, which raised expectations for him heading into 2015.

While Gennett's injury seems unlikely to cost him more than a game or two, the Brewers might be wondering if they are hexed after the brutal start to the season they've endured.
