Scouting Report: Micah Pries

Summary

Quinn Priester (note: the user mentioned "Micah Pries" but the sources clearly refer to Quinn Priester, a Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher) has suffered a significant setback in his recovery from neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome in his right arm. Originally acquired via trade, Priester was a breakout starter in 2025 but has been plagued by nerve issues causing intermittent pain throughout his right arm since August of the previous year. After being placed on a rehab assignment in Triple-A Nashville on April 22, 2026, Priester made three appearances but struggled significantly, allowing 9 earned runs in 5 innings with severe command issues (37 strikes on 62 pitches in his final rehab start on May 1). He was subsequently pulled from his assignment and placed back on the injured list due to shoulder soreness, indicating the nerve issue has not resolved and may be worsening.
