Overview

  • Testing after a specialist visit identified a shoulder nerve problem in the thoracic outlet syndrome family, explaining his intermittent wrist pain.
  • Manager Pat Murphy said the Brewers expect Priester to rehab without surgery, and the pitcher has resumed light throwing.
  • Priester is scheduled for a bullpen session on March 21, though he said he expects to miss at least the first month of the season.
  • With Priester sidelined, Jacob Misiorowski and Chad Patrick are locked into early rotation roles as Brandon Woodruff continues his build-up and others compete for spots.
  • The Brewers optioned catcher Jeferson Quero to Triple-A, and outfielder Akil Baddoo will open on the IL with a left quad strain that could keep him out for multiple weeks.
