Brewers Rotation Strengthens, Cortés Out With Strain

The Milwaukee Brewers have strengthened their starting rotation with Tobias Myers returning from injury and being activated for Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants after a breakout rookie season in 2024. José Quintana has also recently rejoined the rotation, but the team remains hampered by injuries, most notably Nestor Cortés, who is now on the 60-day injured list with a flexor strain and is not expected back until late June. All-Star Brandon Woodruff continues his minor league rehab with a five-inning target before a possible return. The Brewers have compensated for these absences by acquiring Quinn Priester and relying on Freddy Peralta. Despite these challenges, the team has remained competitive and is showing positive signs as key pitchers near recovery. Full strength for the rotation is still projected to be weeks away.
