Priester Out for Season Due to Surgery

Quinn Priester’s 2026 season is officially over after opting for surgery to fix thoracic outlet syndrome — a painful shoulder condition that’s sidelined him all year. Acquired in 2025 with promise, Priester posted a stellar 13-3 record with a 3.32 ERA in 2025, but this season’s rehab starts revealed the injury’s toll. The procedure — involving rib removal — is major, but recovery is possible, as seen with Zack Wheeler, who returned in April 2026 and has since dominated with a 2.01 ERA. Priester’s comeback may be delayed, but with modern medicine, he’s aiming for a stronger, healthier return — and the Brewers are banking on it.
