Ex-Red Sox Pitcher To Undergo Season-Ending Suregry originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox traded Quinn Priester to the Milwaukee Brewers last season, and he ended up being a dominant arm for them. However, his season is over this year, before he made a single start.
The Red Sox originally acquired Priester from the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he pitched in just one big league game for them. He had a 5.40 ERA for the WooSox in 2024 after the trade. He made one start for the WooSox last season before he was dealt to the Brewers. For the Brewers, he had a 3.32 ERA in 29 games and was one of the best starters on the team.
The Brewers won 21 of the 29 games he pitched in, and he was expected to be a key member of their rotation this year. However, he had been dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms since spring training and started the year on the injured list. After trying everything, Priester will undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery on Monday, per himself via MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.
It is expected to take him eight to ten months to get back to 100%, but he is confident that he will be back by next season, and he will come back even better.
Priester noted that the team tried everything to get him back on the mound this season, trying to avoid surgery. They were able to relieve some of the pain he was having, but he was unable to command the baseball like he did last season. The Brewers are once again one of the best teams in baseball, but will have to finish this season without Priester.
While Prister is out, another ex-Red Sox arm is dominating for Milwaukee. Kyle Harrison has pitched like an All-Star this season, and he, Priester and Jacob Misiorowski could be a dominant trio next season.
