Brewers' Robert Gasser: Mixed results through two starts
Rotowire
Gasser has posted a 1.93 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 9.1 innings through two starts with Triple-A Nashville.
Walks have been an issue for Gasser -- just as they were last year in his five Triple-A starts -- and he has also hit three batters, but the Brewers' top pitching prospect has escaped any serious damage by missing a lot of bats. The team presumably wants to see Gasser limit the baserunners before giving him a shot at the top level, but if he can do so he could push for a spot on the big-league roster at some point this season.

Rotowire
Gasser was assigned to minor-league camp on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Gasser was acquired by the Brewers from the Padres in the Josh Hader trade last summer, and he was promoted to Triple-A Nashville in August of 2022. He accrued a 4.44 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with a 31:16 K:BB across 26.1 frames with the Sounds and could be a candidate to join the Brewers later on in 2023.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Rises to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers promoted Gasser from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Gasser has already received a pair of promotions since being acquired from the Padres on Aug. 1 as part of the Josh Hader deal. After finishing his time in the San Diego organization at High-A Fort Wayne, Gasser began his tenure with Milwaukee at Biloxi, where he dazzled over his four starts (2.21 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB in 20.1 innings). Gasser will get a tougher test over the final few weeks of the minor-league season while he heads to the International League, but a strong showing at Nashville down the stretch could put him in position for an early-season call-up to Milwaukee in 2023.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Opening at Double-A in new system
Rotowire
Gasser, whom the Brewers acquired from the Padres on Monday, will report to Double-A Biloxi, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Along with outfielder Esteury Ruiz, Gasser was one of two prospects that the Brewers received to go with two big-league pitchers (Taylor Rogers and Dinelson Lamet) in exchange for All-Star closer Josh Hader. The Brewers won't hesitate to give the 23-year-old lefty a stiffer test as he joins the organization, as he'll climb to the Double-A level for the first time in his career. Gasser turned in a 4.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 115:28 K:BB across 90.1 innings over his 18 starts at High-A Fort Wayne prior to the trade.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Dealt to Milwaukee
Rotowire
Milwaukee acquired Gasser, outfielder Esteury Ruiz, left-hander Taylor Rogers and right-hander Dinelson Lamet from San Diego on Monday in exchange for Josh Hader, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The Brewers have such a good track record of targeting and developing young pitching that this move alone should slightly boost Gasser's value in dynasty leagues. He's a deceptive southpaw whose low arm angle allows all of his pitches to play up. Gasser throws a low-90s fastball, an above-average slider and a solid changeup. The 23-year-old has logged a 4.18 ERA, 3.27 FIP, 1.26 WHIP, 115 strikeouts and 28 walks in 90.1 innings across 18 starts at High-A.
