Hall gave up one hit and two walks over three scoreless innings as the opener in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds. He struck out three.
The southpaw retired the first six batters he faced before running out of gas in the third, but Hall was able to escape a bases loaded, one-out jam and leave the mound after 48 pitches (23 strikes). He's served as the opener in tandem with Quinn Priester for two straight turns through the rotation, with Hall delivering six scoreless innings and a 7:3 K:BB. However, it's unclear whether the duo will be needed again as Brandon Woodruff (ankle) may have made his last rehab start Tuesday.

Brewers' DL Hall: Opening Wednesday's contest
Rotowire
Hall will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hall pitched three shutout, no-hit innings while opening the game in front of bulk reliever Quinn Priester in last Friday's win over the Phillies, and the Brewers appear set to have the two pitchers work in tandem again Wednesday. If both pitchers enjoy similar success against the Reds, the combination could be one that Milwaukee sticks with going forward.

Brewers' DL Hall: Works three scoreless frames
Rotowire
Hall took a no-decision as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Friday's 6-2 win over the Phillies, tossing three scoreless, no-hit innings and giving up one walk while striking out four.
Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Hall has made two appearances, giving up one earned run over 5.1 innings. Though he was being built up a starter during his minor-league rehab assignment, Hall looks like he could fill a hybrid role that includes occasional opener assignments as well as more traditional relief appearances. Hall ended up working in tandem Friday with Quinn Priester, who covered the final six innings en route to notching his second win of the season.

Brewers' DL Hall: Serving as opener
Rotowire
Hall will start Friday's game against the Phillies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Hall will serve as an opener, though he could work multiple innings. He was activated from the injured list and made his first big-league appearance of 2025 on Monday, when he worked 2.1 frames while allowing one run. Quinn Priester is projected to cover the bulk of the innings Friday in Philadelphia.
Hall (1-0) picked up a win while working 2.1 innings of relief in Monday's 3-2 victory over the Red Sox, allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out one.
Fresh off being activated from the 60-day injured list Monday after missing the first two months of the season due to a left lat strain, Hall was quickly thrust into action. With starter Chad Patrick getting lifted from the game with two outs and a runner on second base in the top of the fifth, Hall came out of the bullpen to record the final out of the frame and then covered the next two innings before walking the lone batter he faced in the eighth. The Milwaukee bullpen was able to preserve the lead for the rest of the game, allowing Hall to come away with the win in his season debut. Hall had gotten stretched out to three innings during his rehab assignment and could be a candidate to make a start or bulk-relief appearance this weekend in Philadelphia, but the Brewers haven't confirmed their plans for the young southpaw.

Brewers' DL Hall: Back from injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Hall (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Hall has been out since early in the calendar year with a lat strain but recently built up to three innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Nashville, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out six. He will presumably be available for length out of the bullpen for the Brewers' series against the Red Sox. The lefty pitched to a 5.02 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB in 43 innings (13 appearances) with Milwaukee last season.

Brewers' DL Hall: Six Ks in latest rehab start
Rotowire
Hall (lat) struck out six and allowed two hits and one walk over three scoreless innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville.
After kicking off his rehab assignment May 3 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and making two starts, Hall has moved up to Nashville for his most recent two outings. He's delivered scoreless appearances in both of his Triple-A appearances, though he was much more efficient Wednesday while pushing up his pitch count to 57. The left-hander looks like he'll continue to get stretched out as a starter while he works his way back from the left lat strain that has kept him on the shelf all season, but the Brewers likely won't have a spot in the rotation available for him once he returns from the 60-day injured list. Hall has a minor-league option remaining and could stick around in Nashville as a member of the rotation once his 30-day rehab window closes, or the Brewers could have him serve as a multi-inning option out of the big-league bullpen.

Brewers' DL Hall: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Rotowire
Hall (lat) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hall is progressing in his recovery from a left lat strain that he suffered in late February, which caused him to start the season on the 60-day injured list. He's pitched well in his two rehab outings in the Arizona Complex League, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out eight over five scoreless innings. Hall is aiming to throw 60-to-65 pitches Wednesday, and he'll need multiple rehab starts before being reinstated from the IL.

Brewers' DL Hall: Goes on 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Hall (lat) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jose Quintana, whose signing was officially announced Wednesday. Hall entered Brewers camp with a left lat strain, and while he's expected to resume playing catch by the end of this week, it's going to be a slow build-up process for the left-hander. He won't be eligible to return until late May.

Brewers' DL Hall: Not yet throwing

Hall (lat) said Friday he hopes to be cleared to start playing catch next week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Hall suffering a lat strain earlier in February and appears to be nearing the end of his shutdown period. The left-hander will need to resume throwing soon to have a chance of being fully built up by Opening Day. Any additional delays could mean Hall begins the campaign on the IL.

Brewers' DL Hall: Recovering from lat strain
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Hall is recovering from a lat strain and won't throw for two weeks before being re-evaluated, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hall had been expected to compete for a rotation spot in spring training after he worked out of the bullpen toward the end of his first season in Milwaukee, but the lat injury looks as though it could foil those plans. Even if the southpaw is cleared to resume throwing by the end of February, he would likely need at least a few weeks to get stretched out for starting duty before the season gets underway March 27. With that in mind, a relief role may represent Hall's clearest path to making the Opening Day roster, if he doesn't instead require a stint on the injured list.
Hall made appearances out of the bullpen in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Diamondbacks and in Sunday's 10-9 win in the series finale with Arizona, giving up four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four in 3.1 innings between the two outings.
Hall made a spot start last Sunday -- also against the Diamondbacks -- but shifted back to the bullpen while the Brewers scaled back to a five-man rotation. The southpaw could be a candidate to make another spot start during the final week of the regular season if the Brewers' postseason seeding is solidified and the team wants to prioritize ordering its rotation for the playoffs.
