Quinn Priester's Rehab: Command Still Off

0:00It's April 26th. Welcome in. This is Milwaukee Brewers News Today, where your team meets AI. I'm couring with the story. Quinn Priester made his second rehab start for Triple A Nashville on Sunday, and while the line looks solid, no hits, no runs, two strikeouts over two. And one-third innings, the commands still off. He's building back from the RASIC Outlet Syndrome on the injured list with the Brewers. In his first outing midweek, things went south quick with three walks and a hit batter, all four scoring. Sunday wasn't much better on control. Walking three more and landing just 18 of 45 pitches in the zone. Philosophy Dip 2, topping out at 92 mph, compared to his 93.2 average sinker last season in the majors. Brewers Skipper Pat Murphy noted last week that Priester needs at least three rehab trips before any big league return talk. But now it feels like he'll stretch beyond that. Pictures get up to 30 days on assignment.

1:00Murphy called jumping straight to Triple A without spring training, a bit aggressive. They're eyeing his mechanics and pitch execution over time to see real progress.
