Brewers Pitcher Priester Set for Season-Ending Thoracic Outlet Surgery
Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester will undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery and miss the rest of the season after symptoms tied to thoracic outlet syndrome proved resistant to treatment; the diagnosis required ruling out other causes, and while he’s had moments pain-free, nerve issues have prevented repeatable mechanics. He’ll be off throwing for about three months and then eight to ten months to be game-ready, meaning he’ll stay on the 60-day IL for the season and accrue service time. Priester’s absence tightens Milwaukee’s rotation behind young arms Misiorowski and Harrison, and his four-year control window could affect arbitration timing depending on whether he crosses the Super Two threshold. The article also notes his trade from Boston to Milwaukee and the Brewers’ ongoing injury-depleted rotation.
