Quinn Priester Moving his Rehab to Arizona Complex League
After struggling in the higher levels of the minor leagues on his rehab assignment, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (shoulder) is being moved to the Arizona Complex League as he attempts to return from thoracic outlet syndrome, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Doctors continue to believe that Priester won't need surgery to relieve the symptoms of TOS, a condition in which the nerves running down his neck and into his arm and torso are compressed. Surgery would end Priester's season and would put him in jeopardy of being ready for 2027 as well. The 25-year-old former first-rounder by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019 hasn't had much success in seven rehab starts so far, allowing a whopping 25 earned runs on 21 hits while walking 19 and striking out 14 in 13 1/3 innings. Priester's velocity is not only down, but he's struggling with his control on the mound. He couldn't make it out of the first inning in two of his rehab outings. There's no timetable for Priester's return, and if he continues to struggle in the ACL, surgery might be on the table. Priester is rostered in just 15% of Yahoo leagues at this juncture.
