Brewers bullpen coach Stan Kyles will leave the club at the end of this week to undergo prostate cancer surgery.
Kyles, 49, was diagnosed during a physical examination at spring training. He will undergo treatment near his off-season home in Spartanburg, S.C. Kyles is expected to miss four to six weeks. He will be replaced by Fred Dabney, who had been coaching at Class A Brevard County.
Kyles, a native of Chicago, is in his second year as the Brewers' bullpen coach and spent the previous four seasons in the Brewers' minor-league system.
