Brewers Move Quinn Priester’s Rehab to Arizona Complex League

Doctors are using controlled intrasquad sessions as a non-surgical test to see if his command returns before deciding on a shutdown or surgery.

Overview

  • The Brewers shifted Priester’s rehab to the team’s Arizona Complex League on Saturday to run tightly controlled intrasquad work after ineffective Triple-A outings.
  • Priester has struggled across six rehab starts, allowing about 24 runs on 19 hits with 17 walks in roughly 10 innings, and his most recent Triple-A appearance lasted two outs on 38 pitches with only 18 strikes.
  • Team doctors currently prefer continued non-surgical rehab rather than immediate first-rib removal, which would be season-ending if performed.
  • The intrasquad plan lets Milwaukee control pitch counts, remove him the moment an inning goes wrong, and attempt to rebuild feel and command without taxing affiliate staffs.
  • Manager Pat Murphy set a roughly one-month window to judge progress, noting the stop-start process has taken a visible mental toll and leaving Priester’s availability this season uncertain while the club prioritizes his long-term health.
