"Murphy said the injury is "in that thoracic outlet syndrome family." Any mention of TOS is concerning given how difficult it can be for some pitchers to overcome. The Brewers are still mostly downplaying their level of concern. Murphy expressed confidence Priester will be able to rehab without surgery."
"The nerve pressure explains the recurring nature of Priester's injury. He first felt the wrist discomfort in the second half of last season. He didn't anticipate it being an issue this spring but battled it intermittently during his ramp-up period. Although it's rooted in his shoulder, nerve pain can manifest throughout the arm."
"It was already apparent that Priester would open the season on the injured list. This diagnosis doesn't inherently mean he's facing an extended absence. However, it highlights the open-endedness of his recovery timeline. Brandon Woodruff, Jacob Misiorowski and Chad Patrick project as Milwaukee's top three starters to begin the season."
Quinn Priester, a Milwaukee Brewers starter, was diagnosed with a nerve issue in his shoulder after specialist testing revealed a condition in the thoracic outlet syndrome family. The nerve pressure explains why his wrist soreness has recurred since last season. Manager Pat Murphy expressed confidence that Priester can rehabilitate without surgery and continue his light throwing program with a bullpen session scheduled for next weekend. Priester will open the season on the injured list, though the diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean extended absence. The Brewers' rotation will rely on Brandon Woodruff, Jacob Misiorowski, and Chad Patrick as top starters, with Brandon Sproat and Kyle Harrison as potential depth options.
