Patrick (1-1) was charged with the loss Saturday against the A's after he allowed two runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and no walks across six innings.
The right-hander generated 16 swinging strikes on 94 pitches but was unable to avoid the loss column since Milwaukee's offense tallied just one run. It was the first quality start of the season for Patrick, who now has a 1.27 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in four starts since entering the rotation. Tobias Myers (oblique) is expected back from the injured list this week, but Patrick has likely pitched well enough to retain his rotation spot, especially since the Brewers still have a few other starters on the shelf.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Goes 4.1 innings vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Patrick didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Diamondbacks, allowing five hits and two walks over 4.1 scoreless innings. He struck out three.
Patrick managed to keep Arizona off the board despite dealing with baserunners in every inning. However, he'd be forced out of the game with just one out in the fifth after throwing 77 pitches. Overall, Patrick has gotten off to a strong start with the Brewers, posting a 1.76 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through his first 15.1 innings. Patrick figures to remain in the rotation for at least one more turn with numerous Milwaukee starters dealing with injuries. He tentatively lines up for a home matchup with the A's in his next outing.
Patrick (1-0) earned the win after tossing 5.1 innings, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out four in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Reds.
Patrick got over the hump for his first career major-league win after throwing 4.2 scoreless innings Tuesday against the Royals. The right-hander was nearly spotless Sunday, with the only blemish on his line coming on a solo homer from Spencer Steer in the top of the fifth inning. Patrick has now allowed just one run over 10 innings in two turns in Milwaukee's rotation, and he's tentatively set to return to the mound Saturday on the road against the Diamondbacks.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Patrick is slated to start Sunday's game against the Reds in Milwaukee.
Patrick secured a spot on Milwaukee's Opening Day roster with the rotation having been hit hard by injuries early on, and he made his first MLB start Tuesday. The 26-year-old right-hander acquitted himself well in a matchup versus the Royals, taking a no-decision while striking out five and allowing six baserunners over 4.2 scoreless frames. He'll make another turn through the rotation Sunday, and he should be able to provide the Brewers with a little more length after building up to 86 pitches in his first start.
Brewers' Chad Patrick: Serviceable results in start
Rotowire
Patrick didn't factor into the decision after throwing 4.2 scoreless innings on three hits and three walks Tuesday against the Royals. He struck out five.
The right-hander was one out away from qualifying for a potential win in the fifth inning, but he was pulled after intentionally walking Bobby Witt to set up southpaw Jared Koenig to face the lefty-hitting Michael Massey. The Brewers have several members of the starting rotation on the injured list for the time being, which should keep Patrick in the rotation perhaps for a few more turns. Patrick is tentatively listed as Milwaukee's probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Another start on tap this weekend
Rotowire
Patrick is listed as the Brewers' probable pitcher for Sunday's game versus the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Patrick is set to make his first major-league start Tuesday against the Royals. It's possible the Brewers change their mind if things go particularly poorly Tuesday, but for now Patrick is lined up for another start this weekend. Patrick may be needed for additional starts after that, although Jose Quintana is likely to be ready to join the rotation next week.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: First MLB start coming Tuesday
Rotowire
Patrick will make his first major-league start Tuesday against the Royals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers' rotation depth is being tested early on in the season. One day after Elvin Rodriguez made his first big-league start since 2022, Milwaukee will turn to Patrick, who allowed two runs in an inning of relief Saturday versus the Yankees in his major-league debut. Patrick won the Triple-A pitching Triple Crown in 2024, leading both the International League and Pacific Coast League in wins (14), ERA (2.90) and strikeouts (145) over 136.1 innings with Nashville.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Recalled ahead of opener
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Patrick from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Patrick was previously optioned to Nashville on March 9, but he'll wind up being included on the Brewers' Opening Day roster due to Tobias Myers (oblique) beginning the season on the injured list and Jose Quintana needing more time to ramp up before making his Milwaukee debut. The Brewers are carrying just three designated starting pitchers on their roster, and though Patrick will be available out of the bullpen for the opening series in New York, he could end up making a start or serving as a bulk reliever during next week's series versus the Royals.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Included on Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Brewers informed Patrick on Wednesday that he'll be included on the Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Patrick was optioned to Triple-A Nashville back in early March, but he is now needed on the big-league roster while the Brewers contend with multiple injuries to starting pitchers in addition to Jose Quintana needing more time to get ramped up. It's possible Patrick will be needed to make a start or two early on in the season, though the Brewers could also deploy him as a bulk reliever.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Sent to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Patrick to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
After Milwaukee acquired him from Oakland in November 2023, Patrick delivered a breakout 2024 campaign in the minors, finishing with a 2.90 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 145:39 K:BB over 136.1 innings with Nashville. His efforts earned him a spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster over the winter, but the 26-year-old righty didn't gain much traction this spring in his bid for a spot in Milwaukee's Opening Day rotation. He'll likely need an injury or two to hit the Milwaukee rotation before he gets the chance to make his MLB debut.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Earns 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Patrick's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Patrick, 26, is coming off a 2024 season which saw him post a 2.90 ERA and 145:39 K:BB across 136.1 innings with Nashville. Given his age and success at the Triple-A level, he'll be a candidate to make some starts for the Brewers in 2025 now that he's on the 40-man roster.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Shipped to Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Athletics traded Patrick to the Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for Abraham Toro, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Patrick spent time at Double-A and Triple-A in 2023, posting a 5.59 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 124 innings between the two levels. His numbers could improve next season as he leaves the hitter-friendly environment out west. The 25-year-old righty will likely serve as organizational depth for his new club.

Athletics' Chad Patrick: Traded to Oakland
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks traded Patrick to the Athletics on Monday in exchange for Jace Peterson and cash considerations.
Patrick has spent all season in Double-A and holds a 4.71 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 91.2 innings across 19 starts. The 24-year-old righty can strike out batters at a decent rate, but his struggles with command have impacted his ability to limit baserunners. Patrick still has a lot of work to do before he'll be able to contribute at the major-league level.
