Priester's ailing wrist has kept him out of spring action to this point. The 25-year-old posted a healthy 3.32 ERA in 29 outings (24 starts) for the Brewers a season ago.

A vascular specialist in Dallas diagnosed Priester with a nerve issue in the thoracic outlet syndrome family, determining he has the least severe of three TOS-related conditions as the source of his right wrist pain. There is optimism the issue can be treated without surgery. Priester remains able to throw on flat ground and has a bullpen session scheduled for March 21.

Priester ended last season with wrist soreness and took it easy in the offseason to reduce the risk of the wrist flaring back up. The righthander has begun throwing but has not pitched in a game to date. Priester enjoyed a breakout season last year, going 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA in 29 appearances (24 starts) with the Brewers. He'll slot back in towards the top of the Milwaukee rotation once he is ready.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said on Wednesday that Quinn Priester has recovered from the wrist issue he dealt with late last year, but he’ll be slow to ramp up in camp.

Murphy said that Priester faced a few setbacks that slowed his offseason progress, but he has thrown bullpen sessions. The Brewers plan to be cautious with the 25-year-old, though he appears on track for the season opener. In 2025, he posted a 3.32 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 132 strikeouts across 157.1 innings.
