Milwaukee Brewers 1 Starting Pitcher Suffers Set Back in Injury Rehab

Unfortunately, having virtually their entire starting rotation injured is not really a new development for the Brewers. Last season, they used 17 different starting pitchers due to the amount of injuries suffered by various starters.

And while a team would prefer not to have injuries, they did provide opportunities for exciting young starters like Tobias Meyers and Robert Gasser. Unfortunately, both of those young hurlers are injured this year, too.

Early in this season, the Brewers have seen stellar starts from Chad Patrick, Tyler Alexander, and the newly acquired Quinn Priester.

And, fortunately, Friday night will mark the season debut of Jose Quintana, who was signed by Milwaukee late in Spring Training.

Milwaukee Brewers Starter Aaron Civale Has Suffered a Setback

As previously mentioned, Civale suffered a hamstring strain after his only start of the year, a loss to the Yankees. And while the Brewers were confident it would not be a long-term injury, he has reportedly suffered a setback in his recovery:

As can be seen from Adam McCalvy’s post above, Milwaukee does not have a timeline for his return. They are also still waiting on the returns of Meyers and Brandon Woodruff.

Gasser will not be able to rejoin the rotation until late in the year after having Tommy John surgery last season.

Of course, Aaron Ashby and DL Hall are still rehabbing as well.

While Milwaukee currently has the arms to be competitive, they also have a long way to go until they get everyone healthy, and this Civale setback does not help.
