With news that Robert Gasser is headed to the injury list, the Milwaukee Brewers’ pitching rotation takes yet another hit in a litany of injury challenges this season.

Here are the players who are down for the count and when the Brewers might expect them back:

On the Brewers’ short-term injured list

Ross tried gutting out his last start in Miami but had to leave after the first inning. Ross has a 3.18 ERA over his last four outings before the injury.

Acquired from Baltimore in the offseason as part of the deal that sent Corbin Burnes away, Hall struggled out of the gate and a knee issue may have been a big part of the problem. Hall seemed to re-injure his knee during a rehab appearance and was scheduled for a follow-up June 5 to see when he can resume work.

Junis had the distinction of starting the home opener for the Brewers in 2024 … and he has yet to throw since. The offseason acquisition not only went on the injured list with a shoulder issue, but he also endured a scary incident while on the shelf, taking a fly ball off his neck during batting practice in Pittsburgh on April 22. He began a rehab assignment June 4.

• Bukauskas was the first player called up to the big-league team in 2024 but didn’t stay long and was quickly shuffled to the 60-day injured list. But he still figures prominently into the team’s plans for the second half of the season.
  • The Brewers were dealt a blow in the preseason when they learned their star closer would be lost for the first part of the season with stress fractures in his back. He’s targeting a return of late July.
    • Mitchell was on track to be the team’s starting center fielder in 2024, but he sustained a hand injury late in spring training and has yet to begin a rehab assignment.
      • Miley had a strong 2023 for the Brewers and was brought back on a one-year deal but required Tommy John surgery to repair the torn UCL in his throwing elbow. Miley will be 38 at next year’s spring training but said he wants to try to return to baseball again next year.
        • Woodruff was lost with a shoulder injury before the 2023 playoffs and ruled out for 2024, prompting the Brewers to make the difficult decision to non-tender Woodruff in the offseason. But the Brewers were able to re-sign him with the possibility that he’s back in 2025.
