Milwaukee Brewers

Jacob Misiorowski

SP

Misiorowski reported some fatigue following his last start against the Cardinals on Tuesday, when he earned the win after allowing three runs on three hits while striking out 11 across seven innings. It means that Misiorowski could be available for Tuesday's All-Star game, though that will depend on whether there's lingering fatigue ahead of the Midsummer Classic. Robert Gasser will take to the mound for the Brewers on Sunday.

Kyle Harrison

SP

After quietly dealing with the injury for several outings, Harrison spoke up about his discomfort Wednesday, which explains why he was pulled after just four innings. It also helps to explain why his performance has begun to dip recently, as he's now turned in a 5.00 ERA across his last four starts. Despite his premature exit, the 24-year-old southpaw didn't seem to be very concerned about the issue, and he'll have plenty of time to recover before he makes his next start after the All-Star break.

Brandon Woodruff

SP

Woodruff landed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation -- an issue that has already caused the veteran righty to miss more than a month of action this year. However, his latest diagnosis is being described as a new injury, so there's no telling how long he may be on the shelf for. He's set to receive a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister -- the surgeon who performed Woodruff's 2023 shoulder surgery -- that will aid in determining his return timeline.

Brandon Lockridge

LF

The transaction makes space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Greg Jones. It doesn't not alter the timetable for Lockridge, who has been sidelined since early May with a right patella injury. Lockridge isn't expected back until at least late July.

David Hamilton

3B

The 28-year-old departed Monday's victory in St. Louis due to hamstring tightness and will require a trip to the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. It's unclear how long Hamilton is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated immediately out of the All-Star break late next week. Greg Jones was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move, but the more consequential promotion occurred earlier in the day when the Brewers called up top outfield prospect Luis Lara.

Brian Fitzpatrick

RP

Fitzpatrick was diagnosed with a left UCL strain in early June, necessitating this week's surgery. He'll now be sidelined for the remainder of the current campaign and much of 2027, though he could return in the second half of next season if his recovery and rehab goes well.

Joel Kuhnel

RP

Kuhnel has been struggling of late, giving up five runs (four earned) over three innings across his past three starts. It's not clear if the shoulder issue was to blame to any extent, but he's now going to be out through at least the All-Star break. The Brewers recalled Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move to fill Kuhnel's spot in the bullpen.

Rob Zastryzny

RP

Shoulder and intercostal injuries have kept Zastryzny on the shelf all season, but he's ready to test things out in games. The lefty reliever will eventually move up to a higher affiliate and could be ready to join the Brewers' bullpen around the All-Star break if all goes well.

Carlos Rodriguez

RP

Milwaukee optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on May 31, but he didn't make an appearance in the minors before reverting to the Brewers' injured list June 8 after being diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement. While pitching in his first game in a month Wednesday, Rodriguez retired just four of the eight batters he faced. He'll likely get stretched out as a starter over the course of his rehab assignment but is expected to be optioned to Nashville once the Brewers are ready to activate him from the 15-day IL.

DL Hall

RP

Hall landed on the 15-day injured list in early June with a left pec strain. The lefty was given an anti-inflammatory injection earlier this month and cleared to resume throwing after visiting the doctor last week. Hall is aiming to rejoin the active roster for the Brewers by late July.

Coleman Crow

SP

It appears to be the first time Crow has faced hitters since he went down with a right flexor strain in mid-June. He should be ready for a rehab assignment soon. Crow's last appearance for the Brewers before getting hurt was in relief, but he could join the Triple-A Nashville rotation once activated from the 15-day injured list.

Quinn Priester

SP

Priester has dealt with thoracic outlet symptoms since last season, and he attempted unsuccessfully to treat it with rest and rehab. After consulting with Dr. Gregory Pearl on Tuesday, the decision was made to have surgery. Priester expects to be ready to go for the beginning of next season, but the track record of pitchers coming back from this type of procedure isn't great.

Angel Zerpa

RP

This transaction has been an eventuality since it was announced in early May that Zerpa required a UCL reconstruction on his left elbow. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined until around midseason of 2027.
