The Milwaukee Brewers will likely be without top setup reliever Devin Williams for the playoffs after the right-hander broke his pitching hand after punching a wall after having a few drinks following Sunday's game that clinched the National League Central division title for the Brewers.

President of baseball operations David Stearns told reporters Williams will undergo surgery to put a plate in his hand to repair the fracture and that the injury will likely "keep him out for the remainder of the season."

Williams told local reporters that after the team celebration, "I went out to have a few drinks and (at) my home I was a little frustrated, upset, and I punched a wall. That's how it happened."
