DL Hall To Be Shut Down For A Few More Weeks With Lat Injury
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said on Wednesday during his first media session of spring training that left-hander DL Hall (lat) is dealing with a lat injury and will be shut down from throwing for several more weeks. The Brewers were hoping that Hall would come to spring training to compete for a starting rotation spot in 2025, but the 26-year-old southpaw's lat injury could force him back to a relief role after he finished the 2024 campaign in the bullpen. This doesn't mean that Hall won't make starts for the Brewers in 2025, but his most likely path to an Opening Day roster spot will now most likely be as a reliever. The former first-rounder struggled as a starter early last year before injuring his knee and finished with a 5.02 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with a career-high 44 K's and 21 walks in 43 innings over 13 outings (seven starts). Hall needs to get healthy before being considered a fantasy asset again in deeper leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall is listed as the team's probable start for Sunday's game at Chase Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sunday's outing will be Hall's seven start of the year and his first since Aug. 30, when he was excellent by tossing seven shutout innings with a walk and five strikeouts to beat the Cincinnati Reds. Since being called up when rosters expanded earlier this month, Hall has appeared out of the bullpen twice for the Brew Crew, throwing 5 2/3 scoreless frames with three walks and seven punchouts against the Cardinals and Giants. Hall has a 4.01 ERA and 1.54 WHIP on the year with 34 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings over his eight appearances in the big leagues this year. Against a Diamondbacks in the thick of the playoff hunt, Hall will be a shaky fantasy streaming option, albeit with upside as well.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher DL Hall is being promoted to the major leagues. The 25-year-old made the opening day roster out of spring training but struggled with a poor 4.82 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP through 28 innings of work. At Triple-A Nashville, the southpaw held a 3.83 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 25:35 BB:K ratio across 40 innings. Hall will likely operate as a long relief option in Milwaukee, as the Brewers currently have five healthy starting pitchers in their rotation. However, he could given a handful of spot starts during the stretch run and could be worth streaming in deeper NL-only formats in favorable matchups.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher DL Hall made his first start since coming off the injured list on Sunday. The left-hander struck out nine batters while allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in a no-decision. His last start came in late April so it's surprising that the Brewers let Hall throw 92 pitches in his first game back. The expectation was that Hall would be on a shorter leash but the Brewers felt he was ready for the challenge. The nine strikeouts is great to see, so we'll see if he can build on this performance going forward.
The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated left-hander DL Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list on Sunday and placed left-hander Hoby Milner (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 9) with a left-shoulder impingement in a corresponding move. The team also moved right-hander Enoli Paredes (forearm) to the 60-day IL. Hall will make his fifth start of the year, and first since April 20 against the St. Louis Cardinals, on Sunday against the visiting division-rival Cincinnati Reds. There's a good chance the 25-year-old southpaw will be a bullpen piece for the Brew Crew down the stretch as long as their current starting rotation stays healthy. We wouldn't recommend Hall as a viable streaming option in his return to the big leagues, either, as he had posted a 7.71 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in 16 1/3 innings for Milwaukee in his four starts before his knee injury.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching DL Hall (knee, forearm) is set to resume his rehab assignment on Sunday as he joins Triple-A Nashville. The southpaw was hit in his left forearm by a comebacker and it looks like that did cause a significant injury. The 25-year-old originally landed on the 15-day injured list on April 21 with a left knee sprain and was then shifted to the 60-day IL. Hall has made for starts in the big leagues this season and has posted a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP, and a 10:13 BB:K ratio across 16 innings. The former first-round pick will likely need a few more rehab starts at Triple-A before rejoining the big leagues. Hall may see a handful of starts down the stretch but will likely shift to a bulk relief role when cleared, as he struggled as a starter.
DL Hall Shut Down 3-10 Days After Being Hit By A Liner
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee, forearm) avoided a fracture in his forearm but will be shut down for three to 10 days after being hit by a line drive during a minor-league outing on Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville. It will obviously extend his rehab assignment after Tuesday's outing was supposed to be the 25-year-old southpaw's final rehab outing. Hall isn't going to be an option for Milwaukee pitching staff until some point in the second half of the season, but there's no specific timetable and he's not even guaranteed a spot in the rotation. The former 21st overall pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2017 made four starts for the Brew Crew earlier this season and wasn't effective, allowing 14 earned runs on 27 hits (four homers) while walking 10 and fanning 13 in 16 1/3 innings.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall's (knee) minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday was expected to be his final one before rejoining the Brewers in the big leagues. It's great news for Milwaukee's pitching staff, but for fantasy purposes, it remains to be seen what kind of role he'll have now that right-hander Aaron Civale was added to the starting rotation this week. The 25-year-old southpaw gave up three unearned runs in his final rehab start on the Fourth of July and he'll most likely be used in relief for Milwaukee when he's officially reinstated. The Brewers will most likely continue to build up his arm in a bulk-relief role in order to have him as a starting option in the postseason. Besides, he had a 7.71 ERA and 2.26 WHIP with 13 K's and 10 walks in his four starts for the Brew Crew earlier this year before getting hurt.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee) had his left knee evaluated in Milwaukee on Monday. "We have no indication that it's worse than (a tweak) right now. But we just want to be conservative. There's no sense in rushing through it or pushing through it at this point," assistant general manager Matt Kleine said. Hall tweaked his knee in his latest minor-league rehab appearance last Thursday with Triple-A Nashville when his cleat got caught on the field. The 25-year-old southpaw initially landed on the 15-day injured list on April 21 with a left-knee sprain and started his rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on May 19. It's unclear when his next rehab outing may be or when he might return to Milwaukee. In his four starts for the Brewers before his injury, Hall allowed 14 earned runs on 27 hits (four homers) while walking 10 and fanning 13 in 16 1/3 innings.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left knee sprain on Sunday afternoon. Hall reportedly suffered the injury while fielding a bunt against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The 25-year-old came into the season with some hype after pitching well as a reliever in 2023. Unfortunately, the results have not been good for the former top prospect as he owns a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13/10 K/BB through four starts this season. It is currently unclear how the Brewers plan to fill Hall's spot rotation, but Bryse Wilson and Robert Gasser are both in consideration.
