Baseball has a funny way of repeating itself, and the sense of déjà vu it creates can be fascinating. In the case of the Milwaukee Brewers and Boston Red Sox, that phenomenon has come into play.
Early in the season, the Brewers traded for Quinn Priester in desperate need of starting pitching help. At the time, which was just early April, Brandon Woodruff was being eased back in after undergoing shoulder surgery in 2023. DL Hall (lat), Aaron Ashby (oblique), and Tobias Myers (oblique) were on the IL due to spring training injuries, while Nestor Cortes (elbow) and Aaron Civale (hamstring) both landed on the IL despite being healthy on Opening Day.
