Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fires four strong innings vs. LA
Rotowire
Priester allowed three hits and three walks while striking out one over four scoreless innings Monday in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers. He didn't factor into the decision.
Priester followed Milwaukee's opener, Aaron Ashby, who tossed a scoreless first inning before stepping aside. The 25-year-old right-hander bounced back from a tough outing in Game 3 of the NLDS against Chicago, delivering four scoreless frames despite navigating around some traffic on the bases. Priester was assisted by an incredible 8-6-2 double play in the top of the fourth inning, helping him out of a bases-loaded jam. He also managed to induce a key double play to end the fifth, exiting his appearance in a scoreless game.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: In line for bulk relief outing
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that there's a "71 percent" chance of Priester pitching at some point after opener Aaron Ashby in Game 1 of the NLCS, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Although Murphy didn't explicitly state it, Priester is likely to serve as the Brewers' bulk reliever Monday. The right-hander started Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs but failed to get out of the first inning, yielding four runs while recording only two outs. Priester was terrific for Milwaukee during the regular season, however, posting a 3.32 ERA and 132:50 K:BB over 157.1 frames.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Unable to escape first inning
Rotowire
Priester took the loss in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs on Wednesday after giving up four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
Although he took the mound in the first inning with a 1-0 lead, Priester was never able to settle into Wednesday's contest. He coughed up a leadoff homer to Michael Busch before allowing three of the next four batters he faced to reach base. A Pete Crow-Armstrong single brought in two more runs for Chicago and forced Brewers manager Pat Murphy to turn to Nick Mears, who allowed an inherited runner to score. Milwaukee's offense was unable to close the gap over the next eight frames, so the two sides will play another game at Wrigley Field on Thursday. Meanwhile, Priester will likely be kept off the mound for the remainder of the series.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Named starter for Game 3 of NLDS
Rotowire
Priester will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Cubs on Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Priester was thought to be in the mix for bulk relief Monday in Game 2, but Milwaukee instead elected to lean on Jacob Misiorowski. This decision has opened the door for Priester to toe the rubber at Wrigley Field against a Cubs team that is one loss away from elimination. The 25-year-old struggled a bit with his command during his last start in Chicago (Aug. 21), allowing one run on three hits and five walks while striking out four in 4.1 frames.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Win streak finally ends
Rotowire
Priester (13-3) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings as the Brewers fell 3-1 to the Reds. He struck out four.
For the first time since May 13, Priester found his name in the loss column, ending a streak of 12 straight winning decisions. The right-hander is still taking plenty of momentum into the postseason, however -- he hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start since Aug. 10, posting a 2.79 ERA over his last seven trips to the mound and 38.2 innings. With Milwaukee locked into a first-round bye, Priester will close the books on his 2025 regular season having compiled a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 132:50 K:BB in 157.1 innings.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fans 10 in no-decision
Rotowire
Priester allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Thursday.
Priester was good, but he left the game with the Brewers trailing 2-1, denying him a chance at the win while also falling an out short of a quality start. His lone mistake Thursday was a two-run home run to Luis Rengifo in the fifth inning. This was Priester's third 10-plus strikeout game, and he's allowed just six runs over 18 innings across his three starts in September to carry over his positive momentum from the end of August. The 25-year-old right-hander is now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 128:49 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 28 appearances (23 starts) this season. His last outing of the regular season is projected to be a road start in San Diego next week.

Rotowire
Priester (12-2) picked up the win Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings in a 5-2 victory over the Pirates. He struck out six.
The 25-year-old right-hander continued an incredible run that has seen him reel off 11 straight winning decisions since his last loss May 13, setting a new Brewers record in the process. The quality start was Priester's ninth of the year, and he's given up two runs or fewer in eight of nine outings since the All-Star break, posting a 2.73 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB in 52.2 innings over that stretch.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Sharp in quality start Saturday
Rotowire
Priester came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one unearned run on five hits over six innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The quality start was his fourth in eight starts since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's gone 4-0 with a 2.76 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB over 45.2 innings. Priester hasn't taken a loss since May 13, a streak he'll look to extend in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Pittsburgh.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Pushed to Saturday with wrist issue
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Priester's next start will be pushed back to Saturday versus the Blue Jays due to a "wrist thing," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester had been scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, but the Brewers have opted to give him some extra rest due to a minor injury. Aaron Ashby is serving as the Brewers' opening pitcher, and the newly signed Erick Fedde will pitch in bulk relief for the Brewers on Wednesday.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: No longer pitching Wednesday
Rotowire
Priester is no longer scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, and the Brewers have yet to announce when he'll be in line to pitch next, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester owns a 3.18 ERA over his seven starts since the All-Star break and isn't believed to be dealing with an injury, but he was uncharacteristically wild in his most recent outing against the Cubs last Thursday, when he lasted just 4.1 innings while issuing a season-high five walks. As a result, the Brewers may have simply opted to build in some extra rest for the right-hander, who could be available to start as soon as Thursday's series finale with Arizona. Milwaukee will turn to Aaron Ashby to serve as their opening pitcher Wednesday, and the newly signed Erick Fedde is slated to work behind him in bulk relief.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Walks five in no-decision
Rotowire
Priester did not factor into the decision in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Cubs. He allowed a run on three hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.
While Priester held the Cubs to a lone run, he failed to make it out of the fifth inning after throwing 95 pitches and issuing a season-high five free passes. The 24-year-old Priester has struggled of late, allowing nine runs over 14 innings in his last three starts after posting a 2.47 ERA in his previous 16 outings (91 innings). He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Diamondbacks.
