Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester is recalled from his minor league rehabilitation assignment as he continues working through thoracic outlet syndrome. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team will evaluate what comes next after the recall. The club’s next steps are expected to include another visit to a nerve specialist in Dallas to continue assessing Priester’s condition.
Murphy indicates that the nerve involved is not currently compressed, but Priester still experiences discomfort. The decision to bring him back follows an ongoing recovery process during which he had been on a rehab stint. The Brewers plan to determine his subsequent treatment and how it affects his availability and pitching timeline based on the specialist’s evaluation and the team’s assessment after his return.
The reports agree that the recall is connected to persistent symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome, even as compression is not believed to be the immediate issue.
