Milwaukee Brewers injury timeline for DL Hall looks promising

In medicine, muscle strains are graded on a scale, with one being the least severe and three being the worst case scenario. Adam McCalvy, Brewers MLB.com beat reporter, indicated that MRI testing showed that Hall’s falls in the grade 1-2 category. The expectation is that he will take at least two weeks off from throwing and aim for a return to the big leagues in three weeks.

DL Hall has been great out of the bullpen

DL Hall was originally acquired from the Baltimore Orioles in the Corbin Burnes trade, along with Caleb Durbin. He initially competed for, and won, a spot in the Brewers’ starting rotation last season. However, injuries sidelined him for much of the year, and he returned late in 2024 as a reliever, a role in which he previously found success with Baltimore.

In 2025, Hall remained in the bullpen, often handling multiple-inning appearances. Before July 28, he carried an impressive 1.93 ERA, but a rough stretch, allowing eight earned runs over his last four outings, bumped that number to 3.35. Still, the lefty has clearly established himself as a valuable piece of Milwaukee’s relief corps.

Once Hall returns from injury, he will continue to be a key piece for the Brewers down the stretch. His ability to cover multiple innings from the bullpen adds crucial flexibility. Having success in this role should guarantee him a spot on the post season roster, assuming he makes a full recovery.
