Quinn

Priester

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Priester will not require a trip to the injured list but will need a few extra days off. The 24-year-old rookie is on track to take the ball on Saturday against the Blue Jays. It’ll be Aaron Ashby and newly signed veteran Erick Fedde making a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday night in his place.

Priester was unable to stick around long enough to collect a win as he handed out a season-high five free passes and failed to complete six frames for the third consecutive start. The 24-year-old rookie may be hitting the metaphorical wall at this stage of the season, but he’ll have an opportunity to rebound on Tuesday with a favorable home matchup against the Diamondbacks.

Priester had a shutout going until the fifth, when Ke’Bryan Hayes and Spencer Steer homered. He’s given up two homers in back-to-back starts, though unlike last time out against the Mets, it didn’t hurt his ERA this time. He remained 11-2 with a 3.48 ERA, and he’ll likely make his next start in the finale of next week’s five-game series against the Cubs.

Priester gave up 10 hits, walked one and struck out two. The 24-year-old right-hander had allowed two runs or less in six of his last seven starts, but was hit hard by the Mets on Sunday. Priester has a 3.49 ERA and 95/39 K/BB ratio in 118 2/3 innings. He’s lined up to face the Reds on the road next weekend.

The Brewers have won his last 12 outings, with Priester getting no-decisions the only two times he didn’t pitch effectively. He gave up a homer to Jurickson Profar tonight, but he wound up with 11 groundouts and four strikeouts. He’ll likely face the Mets next time out on Sunday. Unfortunately, that means he’ll miss out on next week’s series against the Pirates to again show them what they’re missing.

The 24-year-old right-hander struck out three batters on the evening while issuing a pair of free passes. The Cubs scratched out a run against him in the second inning on a fielder’s choice off the bat of Dansby Swanson. Priester then served up a solo homer to Nico Hoerner in the sixth inning. Overall, he got 11 swings and misses on 86 pitches on the night — five of those on his slider — while registering a CSW of 27 percent. Priester now sits at 10-2 on the season with a terrific 3.27 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and an 89/36 K/BB ratio over 107 1/3 innings through his first 20 appearances (15 starts). He’ll attempt to keep the good times rolling when he squares off against the Braves in Atlanta on Monday.

Priester had one win two months into the season. He picked up his second in a bulk role on May 30 and he’s just kept going from there; he’s 8-0 with a 2.53 ERA in his last 10 outings. It’s not dominant stuff, but he’s keeping the ball on the ground in front of a strong defense and his command seems to be getting better by the outing. He’ll probably keep helping in mixed leagues, though next week’s matchup against the Cubs is a tougher one.

Priester’s breakout season continues, and if people haven’t taken him seriously yet, now’s the time. He allowed just three hits, and he didn’t issue a walk while reaching double-digit strikeouts for the second time in 2025. It’s worth noting that Priester was a Top 50 prospect at one point, but to say that he’s exceeded expectations in 2025 are a few so-so seasons in the minors — and majors — is quite the understatement. He’ll get to pitch in Seattle on Wednesday versus the Mariners.

DL Hall started as an opener for the Brewers and managed to go three innings while allowing only one run. Priester gave up four hits, walked two and struck out five once he entered the game. The 24-year-old right-hander has now won six games in his last eight appearances. Priester has a 3.55 ERA and 70/32 K/BB ratio in 88 2/3 innings this year. He won’t pitch again before the All-Star break.

Hall has worked in this function before, and went three innings in his previous outings. The left-hander will likely get around one turn through the lineup before giving way to Quinn Priester. Hall still has a chance to be a starter someday, but he won’t get deep enough into games to qualify for wins right now.
