Brewers' Myers, Mears Expected on Injured List to Start 2025

The Milwaukee Brewers will begin the 2025 MLB season with starting pitcher Tobias Myers and Nick Mears both on the injured list. Myers sustained an oblique strain during Spring Training but is expected to return in April, while Mears is recovering from an illness that caused him to lose significant weight, affecting his stamina. Their absence adds to the Brewers' pitching woes, as they also face injuries to Aaron Ashby and DL Hall, and newly signed Jose Quintana will not be fully ready to pitch. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies have optioned Lucas Gilbreath to Triple-A Albuquerque as he continues to recover from offseason surgery, limiting his Spring Training appearances. Gilbreath's return to the Rockies' bullpen is anticipated later in the season as he regains his form. The challenges faced by both teams highlight the impact of injuries on roster depth heading into the new season.
