Robert Gasser Placed On 60-Day Injured List, Targeting August Return
According to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers pitching prospect Robert Gasser (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a roster spot for Tyler Alexander to officially sign with the Brewers. However, Rosiak noted that the sixth-ranked prospect in the Milwaukee system is targeting a late August or early September return. Gasser underwent Tommy John surgery last July but remains on track to return to the mound later in the season. The southpaw was able to make his first five MLB starts before the surgery. Across this brief 28-inning stint, Gasser held a 2.57 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP. The left-hander tallied just 16 punchouts but showed elite command with a near-perfect 0.9 percent walk rate. Gasser could be a candidate to rejoin the rotation in the back half of the season.
