The Milwaukee Brewers have confirmed the shooting of one of the team’s minor league outfielders while he was playing in Venezuela. Twenty-two-year-old Javier Betancourt is expected to survive the elbow wound he suffered when he was shot Friday during a fight. Local authorities say the incident wasn’t a robbery. Betancourt will undergo surgery in Milwaukee. He was acquired by the Brewers in a 2015 trade with the Detroit Tigers. Betancourt hit .243 with the Double-A Biloxi Shockers last season.
