Corey Knebel’s elbow injury is a UCL issue, Craig Counsell said. He will go for a second opinion. It’s not a complete tear and it’s not definitive that he needs TJ surgery, Counsell suggested.

Original story
The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly likely to see two of their main bullpen arms sidelined for the start of the 2019 campaign.
Numerous reports out of Brewers spring training say that reliever Corey Knebel will have a team doctor examine his pitching elbow.
Brewers reliever Corey Knebel will have his elbow examined today by Dr. Raasch. “There’s reason for concern,” Craig Counsell said.

A report by The Athletic's Robert Murray says that Knebel has not been throwing as often during this latter stretch of spring training, but that it's a “minor issue,“ but pitcher Jeremy Jeffress will also miss Opening Day as mentioned by MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.
This all comes as the Brewers are attempting to sign last year's closer for the World Series champion Boston Red Sox, Craig Kimbrel.
