Tobias Myers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) is scheduled to throw 65 to 70 pitches in his next minor-league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Nashville, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. After that, Myers could return to the major-league starting rotation to face the San Francisco Giants next week. The 26-year-old's rehab start on Friday will be his third after working his way back from a left-oblique strain that he suffered in mid-March in spring training. Although he only struck out three total batters, Myers looked sharp in his first two rehab starts, allowing three earned runs on eight hits while walking three in 8 1/3 inning pitched. Myers was great down the stretch for the Brew Crew and finished with an impressive 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, but he had a below-average strikeout rate, which will limit his chances for a breakout in 2025. Still, he's worth a look for rotation depth in deep-mixed leagues if he's available.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers (oblique) will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Myers is currently working his way back from an oblique strain, but he appears to be progressing well. He threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings during his first rehab outing. The expectation is that Myers will probably need one more rehab start after Sunday's game. That means, Myers should be back in the Brewers rotation by the end of April or early May. Until then, Quinn Priester figures to remain in the starting rotation.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) is tentatively scheduled for minor-league rehab starts with Triple-A Nashville on April 8, 13 and 18 before potentially rejoining the major-league starting rotation, according to MLB.com. Myers was placed on the 15-day injured list on March 24 with left-oblique discomfort and is tentatively expected to return in mid-April, barring any setbacks on his rehab assignment. The 26-year-old will face live hitters on Thursday before being officially cleared to make his first rehab start next Tuesday. Myers was unable to begin the 2025 regular season in Milwaukee's starting rotation, but he'll have a spot waiting for him when he's ready after going 9-6 with a 3.00 ERA (3.91 FIP), 1.17 WHIP and 127:36 K:BB in 138 innings in his first 27 big-league appearances (25 starts).

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.
