Brewers' Tobias Myers: Making season debut Thursday
Rotowire
The Brewers list Myers (oblique) as their probable starter for Thursday's game against the Giants in San Francisco.
Myers has yet to be activated from the 15-day injured list and won't be until Thursday, but he's on track to make his next appearance with Milwaukee after wrapping up a three-start rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville last week. He ended the assignment in style Friday, striking out five batters over five scoreless innings while permitting just two hits and one walk. Myers tossed 76 pitches in that outing, so he should be able to handle something close to a typical starter's workload in his 2025 debut with Milwaukee.

The Brewers placed Myers (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Per MLB.com, Myers has resumed a throwing program and completed a bullpen session earlier this week since sustaining a left oblique strain in his final Cactus League start March 15.

Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that Myers will begin the season on the 15-day injured list after an MRI revealed a left oblique strain, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Rotowire
Myers told reporters after Saturday's spring game against the Angels that he will undergo imaging Sunday to determine the severity of his left oblique injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Myers was removed from Saturday's game after feeling discomfort in his left oblique. He appeared optimistic that he avoided serious injury, though manager Pat Murphy relayed that he expects the 26-year-old right hander to miss some time, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Imaging will determine the severity of the injury and provide Myers a better idea of his recovery timeline, but he seems to be in jeopardy of starting the regular season on the injured list.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Exits with injury
Rotowire
Myers was removed from Saturday's game against the Angels with left oblique discomfort, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Myers was grabbing at his left side before leaving the game alongside a trainer in the second inning. It remains to be seen how severe his injury is, but the Brewers will likely take a look at him in the clubhouse and provide an update in the near future. If Myers would need to spend time on the injured list to begin the season, Tyler Alexander would be the most likely candidate to join Milwaukee's Opening Day rotation.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Roughed up in spring game
Rotowire
Myers surrendered three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over 2.1 innings during Monday's Cactus League win over the Mariners.
This was Myers' first rough outing of spring training after hurling four scoreless innings over his first two outings. He was able to settle down after giving up an RBI single and a two-run blast to Mitch Garver in the first inning. Myers appears in line to begin the 2025 regular season at the back end of the rotation, though with Milwaukee recently adding Jose Quintana, there would be competition for the fifth starter spot once Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is cleared, which could happen at some point in April.
