Quinn Priester Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (shoulder, wrist) is dealing with some right-shoulder soreness, manager Pat Murphy told Brewers reporter Sophia Minnaert. The Brewers don't think it's a re-injury long term, but Priester will be evaluated by the training staff and work with the pitching coaches. He's with the big-league club in St. Louis for their series against the Cardinals early this week after being returned from his minor-league rehab assignment, but he remains on the 15-day injured list. The 25-year-old has really struggled with his velocity and command in his three rehab starts with Nashville, prompting the Brewers to shut him down for now. Priester allowed nine earned runs on seven hits (one home run) while walking eight and striking out five in just five innings pitched. He threw 37 of his 62 pitches for strikes in his latest rehab outing on Friday while allowing five runs in just two innings. Something just isn't right with Priester, and now that he's been shut down, he probably won't make his 2026 debut until at least June.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (wrist) has been returned from his minor-league rehab assignment and remains on the 15-day injured list after struggling with his command and velocity in three rehab starts, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The 25-year-old former 18th overall pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019 will have to wait even longer before making his 2026 season debut. In his three rehab starts for Triple-A Nashville, Priester has allowed nine earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking eight and striking out five in just five innings pitched. He hasn't recorded more than seven outs in any of his three starts. It's unclear how long Priester will be held out before being allowed to restart his rehab assignment, but at this point, he probably won't be ready to rejoin Milwaukee's starting rotation until June. It's good news for both Logan Henderson and Brandon Sproat, with both Priester and Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) on the IL. Priester is rostered in only 22% of Yahoo leagues, and fantasy managers shouldn't feel obligated to continue holding him while he works out his issues in the minors.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (wrist) is scheduled for four innings and around 60 pitches in his next minor-league rehab appearance on Friday, according to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic. Priester was not efficient at all in his second rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Nashville, as he threw 45 pitches in just 2 1/3 innings while walking three. The 25-year-old has thrown only 30 of his 74 total pitches for strikes in his two rehab appearances, so the Brewers want to see him improve his control before they consider activating him from the 15-day injured list to rejoin the big-league starting rotation. In addition to a lack of control on the farm, Priester has had diminished velocity on his pitches as he attempts to rehab from thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms. Priester had a breakout year in 2025 for the Brew Crew, but there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical that he can repeat it in 2026 and overcome his injury early this year. He's rostered in just 23% of Yahoo leagues while he rehabs.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester's (wrist) control and velocity were both issues in his second minor-league rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Nashville. The 25-year-old threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings and didn't allow a hit, but he walked three and struck out two, and threw just 18 of his 45 pitches for strikes. Lack of control has been an issue for Priester so far in his first two rehab starts, as he threw only 12 of his 29 pitches for strikes in his first rehab start. We'd expect Priester to need at least two more rehab starts before the Brewers think he's ready to pitch in the big leagues. The former first-rounder by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019 has yet to pitch in 2026 due to symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome. It's a tricky injury that could eventually require surgery down the road. Right now, Priester can probably be left on the waiver wire in shallow-mixed fantasy leagues while he continues to work on his control on the farm. He's rostered in 23% of Yahoo leagues at the moment.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (hand) didn't exactly have the best outing in his first minor-league rehab start on Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville, as he allowed four earned runs without allowing a hit while walking three and striking out two in just two-thirds of an inning versus the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. He also hit a batter in the outing, and his velocity was down considerably compared to last year. To be fair, it was Priester's first action in a game since the postseason last October. He was shut down this spring with thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms in his hand/wrist, which landed him on the 15-day injured list to open the 2026 regular season. The Brewers are hoping to see Priester's velocity slowly rise back up with subsequent rehab starts in the minors. The 25-year-old will likely require at least a couple more rehab starts before the Brewers consider him for their starting rotation. Priester is a stash candidate in deeper fantasy leagues after he went 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 132:50 K:BB in 157 1/3 innings in 2025 in his first year in Milwaukee. He's currently rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (hand) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Priester has yet to make his 2026 season debut due to symptoms in his right wrist from thoracic outlet syndrome. He will most likely need at least several rehab starts on the farm before the Brewers clear him to come off the 15-day injured list, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to join Milwaukee's starting rotation until at least early May. Once Priester is ready to make his season debut, right-hander Brandon Sproat figures to be the odd man out in the rotation. Priester is currently being stashed in an IL spot in 25% of Yahoo leagues after the 25-year-old went 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 132:50 K:BB in 157 1/3 innings across 29 outings (24 starts) in 2025 in his first year with the Brew Crew. Last year was the first time that Priester had thrown over 50 innings in his third MLB season.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Quinn Priester (wrist) has been cleared to face live hitters, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Priester opened the regular season on the injured list due to symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome, but is slated to make the next major step in his progression. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in this live session, as he could be nearing the start of a potential rehab stint. However, he likely still has several steps to clear in his recovery, as he was unable to take the mound at all during spring training. Last season, Priester looked quite comfortable pitching for the Brewers, logging a career-high 157 1/3 innings to the tune of a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, with a 132:50 K:BB. When active, the former 18th overall pick would carry intriguing SP4/SP5 upside in standard 12-team formats. His return would likely push Brandon Sproat to a long relief role or to Triple-A.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (wrist) is scheduled to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday before heading to Arizona during the team's road trip to keep building up his arm, according to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic. Priester is still looking at going on a minor-league rehab assignment in early April, barring a setback. The 25-year-old was forced to the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 regular season due to symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome in his right wrist, but thankfully, he has avoided the need for surgery. Priester didn't pitch at all during spring training, so he has a ways to go before potentially making his season debut with the Brew Crew. The former first-rounder in 2019 by the Pittsburgh Pirates went 13-3 with a career-best 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 132:50 K:BB in a career-high 157 1/3 innings in Milwaukee last year, but he's trending as an extremely risky fantasy arm right now who could need surgery down the road if his symptoms return.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Quinn Priester (wrist) was able to throw a 'pain-free' bullpen session on Saturday. The plan is for Priester to throw one more session before heading to Arizona to face hitters. The right-hander is currently on the 15-day Injured List while he works his way back from thoracic outlet syndrome. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said everything they've seen from Priester is positive right now. It's unclear when Priester will return, but late-April or early-May seems like his current timetable. He's not someone who needs to be rostered in 12-team formats right now. It sounds like the right-hander is making progress, but still has more work to do.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that right-hander Quinn Priester (wrist) will throw a couple more bullpen sessions and then head back to the spring training complex in Arizona during the team's first road trip of the 2026 regular season to start ramping his arm back up, according to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic. Priester's right wrist has given him problems this spring, and it's because of a nerve issue related to thoracic outlet syndrome. For now, the Brewers hope that rest and rehab will help the 25-year-old, but he may need to go under the knife at some point this year, which would knock him out for the season. It obviously makes him a pitcher to avoid in 12-team mixed leagues that haven't drafted yet before Opening Day. Priester's injury has allowed right-handed pitching prospect Brandon Sproat to make the Opening Day starting rotation, and he could be a sneaky streamer early in the year with some nice matchups on tap.
