Tobias Myers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers (oblique) completed a 32-pitch simulated game on Sunday. The 26-year-old is slated to face live hitters on Tuesday and would then be set to embark on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville. Adam McCalvy of MLB.com noted that Myers has not felt any discomfort in his oblique. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears he is nearing a return to the big leagues. Myers has been sidelined since March with a left oblique strain. Last season, the 26-year-old made his MLB debut and performed quite well, holding a 3.00 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP across 138 innings of work. He tallied 127 punchouts and held a strong 6.3 percent walk rate. When healthy, he should return to the starting rotation and be a viable option in deeper 12+ team formats.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) played catch in camp on Friday and didn't have any discomfort in his oblique, making a late-April return a possibility, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Myers was pulled from his Cactus League start last Saturday due to a left-oblique strain and will be forced to open the 2025 regular season on the injured list. However, the 26-year-old's MRI results delivered good news, and he might not have to wait long before making his season debut before the calendar flips to May. Expect him to begin ramping up his workload before eventually going on a short minor-league rehab assignment in April. The former sixth-round pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2016 was a stabilizing force in Milwaukee's rotation in his rookie year in 2024, going 9-6 with a strong 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 127 K's and 36 walks in 138 innings. A below-average strikeout rate limits his fantasy upside, and regression could be coming.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) will start the year on the injured list with a left-oblique strain, but the team thinks they can get his injury under control fairly quickly. Manager Pat Murphy said that Myers' injury was "better than we were expecting" and that a return in April "could be in play." It's a best-case scenario for the 26-year-old, who went 9-6 with a 3.00 ERA (3.91 FIP), 1.17 WHIP, 127 strikeouts and 36 walks in 138 innings over his first 27 major-league appearances (25 starts) for the Brew Crew last year. With Myers set to open the season on the shelf, Tyler Alexander is expected to open the year in the Brewers' starting rotation. While Myers was a bright spot for Milwaukee's rotation last year, he's due some regression in 2025 and has a lowered fantasy floor and ceiling due to his below-average strikeout rate. He's currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 92 fantasy starting pitcher.
