Quinn Priester On Track In Recovery From Thoracic Outlet Surgery
Quinn Priester is recovering ahead of schedule from thoracic outlet surgery performed in June and is expected to be ready for Spring Training. The 26-year-old right-hander had a strong 2024 season with the Brewers after a trade from Boston, posting a 3.32 ERA over 157 1/3 innings with an elite 56.1% ground ball rate, though nerve issues and wrist discomfort led to his surgery. Priester is projected to earn $1.3 million in arbitration and could compete for a rotation spot alongside Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson once he completes his recovery.

MLB.com BrewersPat Murphy's Game 2 starter caveat shouldn't come as a surprise to Brewers fans
Manager Pat Murphy confirmed that Cy Young frontrunner Jacob Misiorowski will start Game 1 of the Brewers' postseason opener on October 3, with rookie Logan Henderson expected to start Game 2 on October 4. However, Murphy noted the Game 2 assignment remains "subject to change," a caveat consistent with his history of keeping playoff pitching plans flexible and using strategic misdirection. Henderson emerged as Milwaukee's second starter during the second half of the season with a 1.93 ERA over his final seven starts, making him the clear choice for Game 2, though Murphy's willingness to deviate from expectations was demonstrated last year when he delayed Quinn Priester's first playoff start to Game 3.
Reviewing the BrewSeries Preview: Milwaukee Brewers @ Philadelphia Phillies
The Milwaukee Brewers conclude their final road trip by visiting the Philadelphia Phillies, who sit in the final Wild Card spot four games ahead of Arizona with six games remaining. Milwaukee leads baseball with a 98-58 record while Philadelphia stands at 86-70, and the Brewers won two of three when these teams met in June. Both teams face significant injury concerns, with Milwaukee missing starters Quinn Priester and Brandon Woodruff, while Philadelphia is without pitchers Jesús Luzardo and Caleb Kilian. Kyle Schwarber leads the majors with 45 homers for the Phillies, while the Brewers' offense is led by Jake Bauers and Jackson Chourio, with Brice Turang one homer and steal away from a 20-20 season.
Brew Crew BallSurprising Shane Drohan stat proves rookie southpaw has been Brewers’ pitching staff’s unsung hero
Rookie Shane Drohan has pitched 120 1/3 innings for the Brewers, the second-most on the team behind Jacob Misiorowski, while serving as both a starter and reliever. Though his overall 4.26 ERA is modest, Drohan has excelled in relief with a 1.55 ERA across 13 appearances while averaging over five innings per start. His versatility has proven invaluable given injuries to Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester, and advanced metrics like his 3.84 xERA suggest better results may come as he develops.
