Brewers Pitchers' Injury Woes Deepen
13 Jun
Summary
- Quinn Priester recalled from rehab due to lingering discomfort.
- Brandon Woodruff's velocity drop noted in recent rehab start.
- Jared Koenig is also working his way back from injury.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester has been brought back from his minor league rehabilitation assignment as he continues to address thoracic outlet syndrome. Manager Pat Murphy indicated that Priester will undergo further evaluation, potentially including another visit to a specialist, due to persistent discomfort. Priester, who was a key rotation member last season, has not pitched in the majors this year and has struggled significantly during his rehab outings.
The team is also closely monitoring veteran pitcher Brandon Woodruff, who is on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Woodruff experienced a notable decrease in velocity during a recent rehab start, though diagnostic imaging showed no structural damage. He is working towards a return, with hopes of regaining his previous form.
Additionally, reliever Jared Koenig, sidelined with a left UCL sprain, is actively working towards rejoining the team. The Brewers are emphasizing the need for healthy arms as they navigate these pitching challenges throughout the season.
