Brewers' Quinn Priester: Late April return deemed optimistic
Rotowire
Priester (wrist) said Friday that he's hoping to be ready to pitch in games by "late April, May," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
It appears to be a very rough target for his 2026 debut, with Priester admitting the late April/early May timeline he offered was "on the optimistic side." The right-hander has been diagnosed with a nerve issue related to thoracic outlet syndrome that has led to pain in his wrist. Priester indicated Friday that the vascular specialist in Dallas who diagnosed his injury told him he had the least severe of three different TOS-associated issues and it could likely be treated without surgery. Priester is still able to throw on flat ground and has a bullpen session scheduled for March 21.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Will begin season on IL
Rotowire
Manager Pat Murphy confirmed Thursday that Priester will begin the season on the injured list due to a nerve issue in the thoracic outlet syndrome family that causes pain in his right wrist, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester visited a vascular specialist Wednesday in Dallas, where he was diagnosed as having the nerve issue in the TOS family. It is believed he'll be able to treat the injury without going through surgery. Priester threw lightly Thursday and is scheduled for a bullpen March 21. While he will miss the beginning of the season, it's unclear exactly how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Visiting doctor for wrist issue
Rotowire
Priester is scheduled to meet with a specialist in Dallas on Thursday to receive further consultation on his lingering right wrist injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Though Priester hasn't been shut down from throwing during spring training, he's yet to make his Cactus League debut while he's struggled to get over the hump in his recovery from wrist soreness, an injury that previously hampered him late in the 2025 season. Priester is hopeful that the upcoming meeting with the specialist will provide more insight on how best to treat the injury, but with the start of the regular season just two weeks away, the right-hander seems to be trending toward at least an abbreviated stint on the injured list to begin the campaign.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Might not be ready for Opening Day
Rotowire
Priester (wrist) might not make his regular-season debut until shortly after Opening Day, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester has yet to pitch this spring, as he has been brought along slowly in Brewers camp after dealing with a wrist issue down the stretch in 2025. The right-hander's deliberate ramp-up might result in a delayed start to the season. With early-season off days, the Brewers could avoid putting Priester on the injured list and instead simply push him back a bit.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Will be slow-played in camp
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Priester will be brought along slowly at the start of camp, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Priester is recovered from the wrist injury he dealt with late last season, but Murphy said that the right-hander has "had a couple things that have kept him from progressing." The manager added that Priester hasn't been shut down and has thrown bullpen sessions, so the Brewers are seemingly just being extra cautious with him. Priester went 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA and 132:50 K:BB over 157.1 frames with Milwaukee during the regular season.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fires four strong innings vs. LA
Rotowire
Priester allowed three hits and three walks while striking out one over four scoreless innings Monday in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers. He didn't factor into the decision.
Priester followed Milwaukee's opener, Aaron Ashby, who tossed a scoreless first inning before stepping aside. The 25-year-old right-hander bounced back from a tough outing in Game 3 of the NLDS against Chicago, delivering four scoreless frames despite navigating around some traffic on the bases. Priester was assisted by an incredible 8-6-2 double play in the top of the fourth inning, helping him out of a bases-loaded jam. He also managed to induce a key double play to end the fifth, exiting his appearance in a scoreless game.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: In line for bulk relief outing
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that there's a "71 percent" chance of Priester pitching at some point after opener Aaron Ashby in Game 1 of the NLCS, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Although Murphy didn't explicitly state it, Priester is likely to serve as the Brewers' bulk reliever Monday. The right-hander started Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs but failed to get out of the first inning, yielding four runs while recording only two outs. Priester was terrific for Milwaukee during the regular season, however, posting a 3.32 ERA and 132:50 K:BB over 157.1 frames.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Unable to escape first inning
Rotowire
Priester took the loss in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs on Wednesday after giving up four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
Although he took the mound in the first inning with a 1-0 lead, Priester was never able to settle into Wednesday's contest. He coughed up a leadoff homer to Michael Busch before allowing three of the next four batters he faced to reach base. A Pete Crow-Armstrong single brought in two more runs for Chicago and forced Brewers manager Pat Murphy to turn to Nick Mears, who allowed an inherited runner to score. Milwaukee's offense was unable to close the gap over the next eight frames, so the two sides will play another game at Wrigley Field on Thursday. Meanwhile, Priester will likely be kept off the mound for the remainder of the series.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Named starter for Game 3 of NLDS
Rotowire
Priester will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Cubs on Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Priester was thought to be in the mix for bulk relief Monday in Game 2, but Milwaukee instead elected to lean on Jacob Misiorowski. This decision has opened the door for Priester to toe the rubber at Wrigley Field against a Cubs team that is one loss away from elimination. The 25-year-old struggled a bit with his command during his last start in Chicago (Aug. 21), allowing one run on three hits and five walks while striking out four in 4.1 frames.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Win streak finally ends
Rotowire
Priester (13-3) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings as the Brewers fell 3-1 to the Reds. He struck out four.
For the first time since May 13, Priester found his name in the loss column, ending a streak of 12 straight winning decisions. The right-hander is still taking plenty of momentum into the postseason, however -- he hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start since Aug. 10, posting a 2.79 ERA over his last seven trips to the mound and 38.2 innings. With Milwaukee locked into a first-round bye, Priester will close the books on his 2025 regular season having compiled a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 132:50 K:BB in 157.1 innings.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fans 10 in no-decision
Rotowire
Priester allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Thursday.
Priester was good, but he left the game with the Brewers trailing 2-1, denying him a chance at the win while also falling an out short of a quality start. His lone mistake Thursday was a two-run home run to Luis Rengifo in the fifth inning. This was Priester's third 10-plus strikeout game, and he's allowed just six runs over 18 innings across his three starts in September to carry over his positive momentum from the end of August. The 25-year-old right-hander is now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 128:49 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 28 appearances (23 starts) this season. His last outing of the regular season is projected to be a road start in San Diego next week.

Rotowire
Priester (13-2) picked up the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
Priester is now on a five-start streak of yielding two runs or fewer. Additionally, he's given up two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 outings. The right-hander has found a home in Milwaukee this year, working to a strong 3.25 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 118:47 K:BB over 146.2 innings. He's next scheduled to face the Angels, who have a poor .651 OPS against right-handed pitching since the beginning of August.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Sets franchise record Friday
Rotowire
Priester (12-2) picked up the win Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings in a 5-2 victory over the Pirates. He struck out six.
The 25-year-old right-hander continued an incredible run that has seen him reel off 11 straight winning decisions since his last loss May 13, setting a new Brewers record in the process. The quality start was Priester's ninth of the year, and he's given up two runs or fewer in eight of nine outings since the All-Star break, posting a 2.73 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB in 52.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Rangers.
