Robert Gasser DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow last July, has been on a throwing program for the last two months and is backing up 15 feet every three weeks. Gasser is expected to be throwing off a mound in April and hopes to be built up to three to four innings by late July, barring any setbacks in his rehab. It's possible that the 25-year-old southpaw could return to the Brewers sometime in August. Gasser, one of the team's top pitching prospects, made his MLB debut in 2024 and held his own, posting a 2.57 ERA with 16 strikeouts and just one walk in his first five starts before needing Tommy John surgery. Although fantasy managers in single-year formats can ignore Gasser, he's a prime hold candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues as he works toward being a rotation fixture in Milwaukee in 2026.

According to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers pitching prospect Robert Gasser (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a roster spot for Tyler Alexander to officially sign with the Brewers. However, Rosiak noted that the sixth-ranked prospect in the Milwaukee system is targeting a late August or early September return. Gasser underwent Tommy John surgery last July but remains on track to return to the mound later in the season. The southpaw was able to make his first five MLB starts before the surgery. Across this brief 28-inning stint, Gasser held a 2.57 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP. The left-hander tallied just 16 punchouts but showed elite command with a near-perfect 0.9 percent walk rate. Gasser could be a candidate to rejoin the rotation in the back half of the season.
