• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fans seven in six strong innings

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Priester (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta after giving up one run on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven. Priester is beginning to find a rhythm after being lit up for seven runs back on May 2, tossing at least five innings in each of his last seven starts while allowing one run or fewer on five occasions during that stretch. The right-hander matched a season high in strikeouts Tuesday, and he registered his third quality start of the year. Priester has produced a 2.35 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB over his last seven outings (38.1 innings), and he'll look to keep the good times rolling his next time out versus the Cardinals.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Collects third win

  Rotowire Jun 4, 2025

  Priester (3-2) picked up the win in Wednesday's 9-1 victory over the Reds, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over five relief innings. He struck out four. Entering the game in the fourth inning after DL Hall had blanked Cincinnati for three frames, Priester racked up an impressive 30 called or swinging strikes among his 88 pitches (57 total strikes) to get credited with the win. The right-hander has given up three runs or fewer in six straight appearances (three starts and three bulk-relief outings), posting a 2.51 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB in 32.1 innings over that stretch. Brandon Woodruff (ankle) got hit on the arm by a comebacker Tuesday in what was expected to be his final rehab start, making it unclear whether Priester will get another turn through the rotation.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Serving as bulk reliever Wednesday

  Rotowire Jun 4, 2025

  Priester is scheduled to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher DL Hall in Wednesday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Milwaukee will go back to the Hall/Priester combination after the two successfully worked in tandem this past Friday against the Phillies. In that game, Hall opened the contest with three no-hit, shutout innings, while Priester followed with six innings of two-run ball to earn the win. Hall could work slightly deeper into Wednesday's contest if he's efficient with his pitch count, but Priester still profiles as the Milwaukee pitcher most likely to factor into the decision.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Fans seven in no-decision

  Rotowire May 24, 2025

  Priester did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 2-1 loss against the Pirates. He struck out seven. Priester gave up a run on two hits in the first inning but settled in and worked around traffic to throw five scoreless frames afterward. A blister on his right middle finger factored into the decision to lift him after just 84 pitches, manager Pat Murphy said postgame. Since getting roughed up for seven runs May 2 against the Cubs, the 24-year-old has posted a 2.53 ERA across 21.1 innings over his last four outings. The right-hander has been used as both a starter and a long reliever this season, pitching to a 4.23 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through nine appearances and seven starts.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Handed tough-luck loss

  Rotowire May 13, 2025

  Priester (1-2) yielded a run on three hits and two walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Guardians. Priester coughed up a solo homer to Jose Ramirez in the first inning but kept Cleveland's bats fairly quiet for the next four frames. It was Priester's second straight loss despite yielding only two earned runs (four total runs) in those outings. He threw 39 of 69 pitches for strikes and forced only four whiffs Tuesday. His ERA fell to 4.59 with a 23:21 K:BB through 33.1 innings. Priester is lined up to face the Orioles at home next week.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Stuck with first loss

  Rotowire May 7, 2025

  Priester (1-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up three runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over five innings as the Brewers were downed 9-1 by the Astros. He struck out three. The right-hander didn't get much help from his offense or his defense, but Priester didn't aid his own cause by issuing at least three walks for the fifth straight outing. After a promising beginning to his stint in the Milwaukee rotation, he's been tagged for 15 runs (13 earned) over his last 14.1 innings with a 9:10 K:BB. With Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) having built up to 83 pitches in his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and Aaron Civale (hamstring) likely not far behind him in returning from the IL, Priester's time with the big club figures to be running short. If he does get another start, it'll come on the road early next week in Cleveland.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Will follow Alexander on Friday

  Rotowire May 2, 2025

  Priester will work behind Tyler Alexander in Friday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Alexander is expected to serve as merely an opener against Chicago, so Priester should still handle the bulk of the innings. Priester struggled in his last start against the Cardinals, giving up five runs on eight hits and three walks across five innings in a no-decision.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Tosses five scoreless

  Rotowire Apr 16, 2025

  Priester (1-0) allowed just one hit and walked three over five scoreless innings in a win against the Tigers on Tuesday. He struck out four. Priester was dominant in his first home start as a member of the Brewers. He did not give up a hit until the very last batter he faced, which was a leadoff double in the sixth by Gleyber Torres, leading to a pitching change with the game being close. Priester's been an excellent acquisition for the Brewers early on, allowing just one run on seven hits in 10 innings. He lines up for a road start in San Francisco next week.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Remains in rotation

  Rotowire Apr 14, 2025

  Priester is scheduled to make his second start with the Brewers on Tuesday versus the Tigers at American Family Field, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Milwaukee's rotation became more crowded after Jose Quintana was called up from Triple-A Nashville this past Friday to make his team debut, but Priester will retain a starting role after the Brewers moved Elvin Rodriguez to the bullpen. Priester's standing in the rotation could be on shakier ground in the coming weeks once Tobias Myers (oblique) and Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) are likely ready to return from the 15-day injured list, but the 24-year-old righty did his part to make a strong first impression after being acquired from the Red Sox last Monday. The Brewers tapped Priester to start three days later, and he held his own in a tough environment for pitchers in Colorado, limiting the Rockies to one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Five solid innings in team debut

  Rotowire Apr 10, 2025

  Priester didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rockies after allowing one run on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four. Other than giving up a leadoff solo homer to Brenton Doyle in the first inning, Priester kept Colorado's bats in check in a tough spot at hitter-friendly Coors Field in his Brewers debut. Priester is helping fill in for the injured Nestor Cortes (elbow) among other sidelined starters, although the right-hander figures to be unlikely to maintain a rotation spot once Milwaukee's pitching staff gets healthier. As it stands, the former top prospect is tentatively scheduled to next face the Tigers at home early next week.

• Brewers' Quinn Priester: Traded to Milwaukee

  Rotowire Apr 7, 2025

  The Brewers acquired Priester from the Red Sox on Monday in exchange for Yophery Rodriguez, a Competitive Balance Round A draft pick, and a player to be named later or cash considerations. Priester had been at Triple-A Worcester, where he allowed two runs with a 6:0 K:BB over four innings in his first start. He will join the major-league club in Milwaukee and should immediately slide into a rotation that's been hit hard by injuries. It's the second time since last summer that Priester has been traded, as he went from the Pirates to the Red Sox for Nick Yorke in July.

• Red Sox's Quinn Priester: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2025

  The Red Sox optioned Priester to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The right-hander was competing for a place in Boston's season-opening rotation, but his move to the minors leaves Sean Newcomb and Cooper Criswell in competition for that job. Priester combined for a 4.71 ERA in 11 appearances between the Red Sox and Pirates last season, and he'll likely be back up with the big club at some point in 2025.

• Red Sox's Quinn Priester: Makes third spring start

  Rotowire Mar 5, 2025

  Priester allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 innings in Tuesday's spring start against the Pirates. Priester made his third Grapefruit League start on the same day he was mentioned by manager Alex Cora as an option to fill in for Brayan Bello, whose shoulder injury may force him to the injured list for the start of the season. Priester, who worked his pitch count to 46 (30 strikes), owns a 2.70 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with a .320 BAA over 6.2 spring innings.

• Red Sox's Quinn Priester: Option to take Bello's spot

  Rotowire Mar 4, 2025

  Priester might open the season in Boston's rotation if Brayan Bello (shoulder) needs time on the injured list, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. It would likely be either Priester or Richard Fitts filling in for Bello, who is working his way back from a shoulder issue. Priester will make his third start this spring Tuesday after allowing one run with a 1:3 K:BB over four frames covering his first two outings. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Pirates at last year's trade deadline in the deal that sent Nick Yorke to Pittsburgh.

• Red Sox's Quinn Priester: Notches win in Red Sox debut

  Rotowire Sep 29, 2024

  Priester (3-6) pitched five innings of one-run ball to pick up the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out two. Called up Sunday to make his Red Sox debut, Priester held his own to notch his third win of the season. The right-hander did not allow an extra-base hit, limiting the Rays to just four singles thanks to a robust 12:2 GB:FB. Acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, Priester struggled to a 5.40 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB in 38.1 innings (nine starts) for Triple-A Worcester. Sunday's start was a step in the right direction, but Priester likely needs more time to develop in the minor leagues before becoming a major-league asset. The 24-year-old owns an ugly 6.23 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 69:41 K:BB in 94.2 career MLB innings (15 starts).

• Red Sox's Quinn Priester: Traded to Boston

  Rotowire Jul 29, 2024

  The Red Sox acquired Priester from the Pirates on Monday in exchange for Nick Yorke, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Boston won't have room in the big-league rotation for Priester, but he'll supplement the organization's starting pitching depth. The 23-year-old right-hander hasn't shown much at the major-league level to this point, collecting a 6.46 ERA and 67:40 K:BB over 94.2 innings. However, Priester was a well-regarded prospect with a 3.50 ERA and 25.1 percent strikeout rate during his time at the Double- and Triple-A levels. He will report to Triple-A Worcester as he begins his time in the Red Sox organization.

  Rotowire Jul 5, 2024

  Priester (lat) completed five innings while allowing one run on three hits and no walks with six strikeouts in a rehab outing with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. The outing was Priester's second rehab appearance, and he looks to be nearing a full workload.

• Pirates' Quinn Priester: Beginning rehab assignment

  Rotowire Jun 26, 2024

  Priester (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. Priester has been on the 15-day injured list since June 6, but he has been given the green light to test his injured lat in a competitive setting. The Pirates haven't specified how many rehab outings the 24-year-old will need, but it's likely he returns from the IL before the All-Star break.

• Pirates' Quinn Priester: Called up for Sunday's start

  Rotowire Jun 2, 2024

  Priester was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and will start Sunday against the Blue Jays, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. The 24-year-old will join Pittsburgh's rotation Sunday as the replacement for Martin Perez (groin), who landed on the injured list Tuesday. Priester has been decent in five starts for the Pirates this season with a 4.33 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB across 27 innings, and another solid outing Sunday could earn him a longer look in the rotation.

• Pirates' Quinn Priester: Optioned to Triple-A

  Rotowire May 15, 2024

  The Pirates optioned Priester to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday. With Paul Skenes in the fold and Bailey Falter pitching well enough to keep his rotation spot, Priester becomes the odd man out. He holds a 4.33 ERA and 17:10 K:BB over 27 innings covering five starts with the big club this season. Priester will join the Indianapolis rotation and likely will be the first to be called upon when the Pirates need a starter.
