Robert Gasser Has Regular Tommy John Surgery
5 months agoMilwaukee Brewers left-handed pitching prospect Robert Gasser (elbow) underwent "regular" Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, which will lengthen his recovery period, according to general manager Matt Arnold. An internal-brace procedure would have shortened Gasser's recovery period. The 25-year-old southpaw will miss the rest of this year and probably most, if not all, of the 2025 campaign as he recovers. It's a tough break, as Gasser looked pretty impressive in his major-league debut for the Brew Crew this year before injuring his left elbow. The team's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, went 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 16 strikeouts and just one walk in 28 innings over his first five MLB starts. He can obviously be dropped in any redraft formats, but Gasser's upside makes him worth stashing in deep dynasty/keeper leagues.
