"Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester are locks for rotation roles when healthy. Woodruff is the likelier of the two to be available by Opening Day. The Brewers are exercising caution in building him back from last year's season-ending lat injury."
"Patrick turned in a 3.52 earned run average over his first 19 career appearances. Milwaukee nevertheless optioned him to Triple-A on July 6 once Woodruff returned from shoulder surgery. Patrick spent six weeks in the minors. The Brewers used him in a swing role when they recalled him in mid-August."
"Priester is behind due to what appears to be minor wrist discomfort. The righty threw batting practice early in Spring Training but hasn't faced hitters since then. Priester told reporters yesterday that he's still playing catch but occasionally feels the nagging soreness."
The Milwaukee Brewers have named Jacob Misiorowski and Chad Patrick as their opening day starters, with manager Pat Murphy confirming their rotation spots. Brandon Woodruff, recovering from a lat injury, is expected to return soon and will make his Cactus League debut against the Angels. Quinn Priester faces wrist discomfort and is unlikely ready for Opening Day, though structural testing revealed no damage. Patrick earned his rotation spot after strong performance, including a 3.52 ERA over 19 appearances and solid playoff contributions. The fifth starter position remains open pending injuries and spring training performance.
