The Brewers introduced that left-hander DL Corridor has been positioned on the 60-day injured record. Adam McCalvy of MLB.com was amongst these to relay the information. Meaning Corridor has been formally dominated out till late Could on the earliest. That’s the corresponding transfer to open a roster spot for lefty Jose Quintana, who has now been formally signed.
Again on February twelfth, it was reported that Corridor had a lat pressure and was going to be shut down for at the least the following two weeks. It has now been three weeks since that reporting with little info popping out about his progress. A couple of week in the past, McCalvy relayed that Corridor had not even been cleared to start out taking part in catch. Supervisor Pat Murphy tells McCalvy right now that Corridor is predicted to renew taking part in catch on the finish of this week.
Given the sluggish progress and this transaction, it appears the Brewers don’t anticipate Corridor to return anytime quickly. Gamers could be positioned on the 60-day IL as soon as pitchers and catchers report back to camp however the clock doesn’t begin ticking till Opening Day, so Corridor gained’t be eligible for reinstatement till late Could even in a best-case state of affairs.
It’s an unlucky growth for Corridor, who hasn’t been in a position to construct an honest workload. He nonetheless doesn’t have a 100-inning season on his observe file as an expert. With the Orioles in 2022 and 2023, they shuttled him between the majors and minors in addition to the rotation and the bullpen. He was traded to the Brewers as a part of the Corbin Burnes deal forward of the 2024 season and Milwaukee principally deployed him as a starter final yr, however a knee sprain capped him at 84 frames, majors and minors mixed.
The Brewers nonetheless have hope of Corridor changing into a viable starter someday, provided that he’s a former prime 100 prospect and was a key a part of the Burnes deal. He may nonetheless have a pleasant season in 2025 however beginning it with a prolonged IL stint isn’t superb.
For the Brewers, they may have some rotation query marks to start out the season, although the Quintana signing helps to solidify the group. Alongside Quintana will probably be Freddy Peralta, Tobias Myers, Aaron Civale and Nestor Cortes. They’ll add Brandon Woodruff in there in some unspecified time in the future, although his timeline is unclear after he spent 2024 recovering from shoulder surgical procedure. Aaron Ashby has an indirect pressure and continues to be getting examined, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, however appears prone to begin the season on the IL. Robert Gasser is already on the 60-day IL as he recovers from final yr’s Tommy John surgical procedure.
Behind the entrance 5, the Brewers at present have Logan Henderson, Carlos RodrÃguez, Chad Patrick and Elvin RodrÃguez as wholesome choices on the 40-man roster. Nevertheless, Henderson and Patrick haven’t any main league expertise whereas the RodrÃguezes have simply 45 1/3 huge league innings mixed. Jacob Misiorowski is likely one of the prime prospects in baseball however isn’t on the 40-man and walked 14.4% of batters confronted final yr.
