Brewers Rookie Robert Gasser to Undergo Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers rookie left-hander Robert Gasser, aged 25, has opted for Tommy John surgery to address a left flexor strain, expecting to be out for about 12 months. Gasser, with an impressive start in the big leagues, showcasing a 2.57 ERA in his first five starts, will undergo a procedure to fix the UCL in his throwing elbow, potentially requiring a full Tommy John reconstruction. His success has positioned him as a valuable asset for the Brewers' rotation. The team has faced pitching challenges with players like Brandon Woodruff and Wade Miley ruled out for the season due to various injuries.
