Brewers' Robert Gasser: Torched for season-high seven runs
Rotowire
Gasser (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing seven runs on eight hits and no walks in three-plus innings. He struck out three.
Gasser coughed up four runs in the second inning and couldn't make it through the fourth frame, when Pittsburgh erupted for 10 runs. The seven runs allowed were a season worst for the 27-year-old southpaw, who also turned in his shortest outing of the year. Gasser still figures to maintain a rotation spot with the Brewers until Kyle Harrison (forearm) comes off the injured list, with the former holding a 5.24 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Starting Sunday vs. Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Gasser will start for the Brewers in Sunday's series finale against the Pirates, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.
Gasser will start in place of Jacob Misiorowski, who experienced lingering fatigue following his last start against the Cardinals on Tuesday. It'll be the ninth major-league start of the season for Gasser, who has a 2-3 record with a 4.15 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 43.1 innings.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Gasser from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Gasser was sent down after making his last start during Tuesday's doubleheader, and he'll now return to the active roster Saturday to replace the injured Kyle Harrison (forearm). Gasser could be available to work in long relief during the Brewers' final three games before the All-Star break, before moving to the rotation to start in place of Harrison to begin the second half.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Bound for minors after spot start
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Gasser to their rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday.
Gasser will be moved off the active roster after he was called up to serve as the Brewers' 27th man in Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. The southpaw started the second game of the twin bill, improving to 2-3 over his eight appearances on the season with Milwaukee after recording four strikeouts and limiting the Cardinals to two runs on four hits and one walk across a career-high 7.2 innings in the Brewers' 10-2 win. Though he's delivered sterling ratios over his last four starts with Milwaukee (2.52 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB in 25 innings), Gasser may have to wait a while for another opportunity in the big-league rotation. The Brewers recently lost Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) to the injured list, but Logan Henderson (back) will be reinstated from the IL on Thursday to bring the rotation back to five men.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Longest outing of career in win
Rotowire
Gasser (2-3) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk over 7.2 innings in Milwaukee's 10-2 victory. He struck out four.
A two-run home run by Nelson Velazquez in the sixth inning was the only blemish on Gasser's line, as the southpaw tossed 66 of 94 pitches for strikes while lasting more than seven frames for the first time in his big-league career. He was up as the 27th man for the twin bill, and with Logan Henderson (back) expected to come off the injured list to fill the vacant fifth spot in the rotation Thursday's series finale in St. Louis, Gasser is likely headed back to Triple-A Nashville. Over eight starts in the majors this season, Gasser has produced a 4.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB in 43.1 innings.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Called up to start Game 2
Rotowire
The Brewers designated Gasser as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he's scheduled to start the second game of the twin bill.
The left-hander was optioned to the minors last week, but the expectation all along was that he would rejoin the big club to pitch in Tuesday's doubleheader. Gasser has a 4.54 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across 35.2 innings (seven starts) in the majors this season, though he's been more effective in his past three outings with a 2.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Optioned to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Gasser to the rookie-level ACL Brewers on Tuesday.
The left-hander seemed likely to stick on the big-league roster with the Brewers expected to utilize a six-man rotation through the All-Star break, but he's instead been jettisoned from the 26-man roster. Gasser still seems likely to get another look with Milwaukee soon since there is a doubleheader on deck next week in St. Louis.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Moving to bullpen temporarily
Rotowire
Gasser will be available in relief for the Brewers during their upcoming weekend series versus the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Gasser owns a 4.50 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in six starts with Milwaukee this season, but he pitched well in his most recent two outings, covering a combined 11.2 innings and striking out 13 batters while yielding just two earned runs on six hits and three walks. However, with the Brewers getting Brandon Woodruff back from the injured list Monday to fill out their rotation, Gasser will have to settle for a relief role for the time being. The young left-hander shouldn't have to wait long for his next starting opportunity, however; after Thursday's off day, the Brewers will close out their pre-All-Star break schedule with 18 games in 17 days. Milwaukee will likely expand to a six-man rotation at some point during that stretch, and Gasser is expected to be the top choice to fill the open spot.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Grabs first win
Rotowire
Gasser (1-3) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out seven.
Gasser was sharp Sunday en route to his first win and quality start this season. After struggling to a 6.38 ERA across 18.1 innings in his first four outings this year, Gasser has allowed just two runs over 12.2 innings in his last two starts. However, the left-hander's role in the short term is uncertain with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) slated to return to the Milwaukee rotation Monday against Cincinnati.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Impressive in no-decision
Rotowire
Gasser didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against Cleveland. He tossed 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while fanning five.
Gasser allowed a season-high six runs across five innings in a loss to the Athletics in Las Vegas in his previous start, but he bounced back admirably and delivered his first scoreless outing of the campaign. Gasser's inconsistencies limit his fantasy appeal; he has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his five starts, but in the other two, he's given up 10 runs on 12 hits. Gasser is still searching for his first win of the season and is lined up to make his next start this weekend against Atlanta.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Lit up for six runs
Rotowire
Gasser (0-3) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings to take the loss versus the Athletics on Tuesday.
The hitter-friendly Las Vegas Ballpark has lived up to its reputation in the first two games of this series. Gasser gave up all six runs he allowed on four home runs, and the Brewers weren't able to bail him out. Through four starts this season, Gasser has had mixed results at best. He's posted a 6.38 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB while allowing six homers across 18.1 innings. The bottom half of Milwaukee's rotation is still in flux, so it's not obvious when Gasser will make his next appearance, especially since the team has off days Thursday and Monday.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Awarded another start
Rotowire
Gasser is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics in Las Vegas.
Gasser will draw a second straight turn through the rotation after he came through with a strong start Wednesday against the Giants following his call-up from Triple-A Nashville. The left-hander was handed a loss but kept the Brewers competitive, striking out five batters and yielding just one run on five hits and one walk across five innings. Though Gasser will get another chance Tuesday to solidify his spot in the rotation, he won't make for the most appealing streaming option at Las Vegas Ballpark, the home stadium of the Athletics' Triple-A affiliate. Even relative to other parks in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, Las Vegas Ballpark has historically stood out as one of the more favorable offensive environments on the circuit.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Awarded another start
Rotowire
Gasser is slated to start Saturday's game against the Dodgers at American Family Field, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Called up from Triple-A Nashville last weekend, Gasser endured a turbulent 2026 MLB debut in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins, covering four innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while also hitting three batters with pitches. Manager Pat Murphy seems content to use Chad Patrick out of the bullpen for the time being, so rather than turning back to Patrick to fill the open spot in the rotation, the Brewers will give Gasser another look in a starting role. Even if he performs better this time out against a more formidable Dodgers lineup, Gasser may not be in line for an extended stay in the Milwaukee rotation since Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) looks to be moving closer to a return from the 15-day injured list.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Shaky pitching in season debut
Rotowire
Gasser allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits, two walks and three hit batsmen while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.
Gasser made his fist big-league start of the season, but it wasn't a particularly good showing. He's now plunked eight batters over eight big-league appearances in his career. Prior to his call-up, he posted a 3.74 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings over six starts with Triple-A Nashville. The strikeout potential is there, but he still has control issues to work through as he builds up in his first full season following Tommy John surgery in June of 2024.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Likely to start Sunday
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Gasser has a "good chance" at being recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start in Sunday's series finale against the Twins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers are shorthanded in the rotation with both Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) and Quinn Priester (shoulder) are on the 15-day injured list, and Jacob Misiorowski was pulled from Wednesday's start against the Padres due to quad cramping. Gasser has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 3.74 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings. He made two starts last season for Milwaukee, allowing six runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out five across 5.2 frames.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Returning to action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Gasser (triceps) will make a start Friday for Triple-A Nashville, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Gasser's last start came on April 10, as he was slowed for a bit by left triceps soreness. The southpaw has made two appearances for Nashville this season, allowing four runs with a 15:4 K:BB over nine innings of work.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Makes second start at Triple-A
Rotowire
Gasser (biceps/triceps) struck out four and yielded four earned runs on seven hits and one walk across 3.1 innings Friday in his most recent start for Triple-A Nashville.
Gasser missed a turn through the Nashville rotation after experiencing muscle soreness in his left biceps and triceps following his season debut March 27, but he never required a stint on the injured list. Through his two starts, Gasser owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB in nine innings. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Kyle Harrison had been in line to start Friday in the Brewers' series opener in Miami, but he's expected to be pushed back a few days in the pitching schedule while he tends to a left wrist injury. Milwaukee thus looks like it will have a need for a spot starter this weekend, and Gasser should be a candidate to fill the opening.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Gasser to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The left-hander struggled a bit during spring training with a 5.11 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 12.1 innings, though his 14:4 K:BB was more encouraging. Gasser returned to the big leagues for two outings late in the regular season last year after recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he won't open 2026 in the big leagues. Brandon Woodruff (lat) and Kyle Harrison (finger) aren't at full strength with Opening Day just a few days out, so it's possible Gasser will be back with the big club in short order.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Gasser (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.
Gasser has spent the entire season working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent last June. He's made nine starts in the minors since beginning his rehab assignment in July, posting a 3.28 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 24.2 innings between three levels. Now fully healthy, the 26-year-old lefty will fall victim to the logjam in Milwaukee's rotation and remain in Triple-A. However, he could still return to the majors during the final month of the year to make a spot start or work out of the bullpen.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Completes eighth rehab start
Rotowire
Gasser (elbow) struck out four batters and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks across 4.2 innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Nashville.
Gasser has now made eight starts in the minors since beginning his rehab assignment July 19 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Though pitchers are typically allotted just 30 days of rehab time in the minors while on the injured list, pitchers like Gasser who are returning from Tommy John surgery are eligible for up to three consecutive 10-day extensions, and the Brewers appear to have taken advantage of that rule to give the right-hander some additional ramp-up time. Since shifting his assignment to Nashville on Aug. 8, Gasser has turned in a 1.98 ERA over 13.2 innings in four starts, but his other ratios (1.32 WHIP, 12:6 K:BB) aren't quite as shiny. Milwaukee will likely continue to allow Gasser to work as a starter during his rehab assignment, but if he rejoins the big club over the final five weeks of the season, he would presumably work out of the bullpen, unless injuries test the organization's starting depth.
