Brewers' Woodruff, Priester Boost Starting Rotation Amid Improvement

The Milwaukee Brewers have seen a resurgence in their pitching performance, highlighted by the acquisition of Quinn Priester and the return of José Quintana, who both delivered strong outings recently. Additionally, two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff has begun a rehab assignment, showing promising signs with a strikeout-heavy performance in Triple-A. Meanwhile, Brewers catcher William Contreras earned the NL Player of the Week award after breaking out of a slump during a successful road trip, significantly boosting his early season numbers. In contrast, the Chicago Cubs are dealing with injuries, particularly to their starting rotation, prompting speculation about potential call-ups from their minor league system, including promising pitcher Cade Horton. Despite some challenges, both teams are hoping for continued improvement as the season progresses. Overall, the Brewers are trending upward while the Cubs seek to stabilize their roster.
