The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox may be able to help one another out. On one hand Milwaukee is off to a great start and looking like playoff contenders, but they have been weathering a storm of numerous injuries to their starting pitching staff that lacked proven talent depth to begin with. Further south Chicago is not playing great baseball and they likely will be trading away assets as the summer goes along.
Two key Milwaukee Brewers starting pitchers are out for the entire 2024 season.
Trading Corbin Burnes during the off-season was a business decision that the Brewers were bound to make at some point. Unfortunately the trade came at a time where their co-ace Brandon Woodruff had also undergone surgery and won’t pitch in 2024 as a result. This bumped Freddy Peralta up to their top starting pitcher. Wade Miley was brought back in to provide a veteran presence but he now will undergo Tommy John surgery in early May. Other starters from the rotation that are currently injured include DL Hall and Jakob Junis.
