Quinn Priester’s Surgery Decision

Brewers pitcher Quinn Priester is retiring from the season after being sidelined by thoracic outlet syndrome — a nerve-crushing condition between his neck and shoulder. After exhausting every non-surgical option — nerve blocks, massages, posture changes — he’s set for surgery next Monday to remove his first rib and create more space for his nerves. The issue began last year with wrist soreness, but returned early in spring training, sabotaging his rhythm. Consulting top specialist Dr. Gregory Pearl and even his vascular surgeon uncle, Priester opted for surgery to ensure full recovery, not just partial improvement. With an 8-10 month rehab timeline similar to Zack Wheeler’s, he’ll be back in time to leverage his four years of team control and return stronger than ever. It’s a tough blow, but Priester’s determined to get his career back on track — and better than before. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
