Brewers Place DL Hall On 60-Day Injured List

By Darragh McDonald | March 5, 2025 at 2:50pm CDT

The Brewers announced that left-hander DL Hall has been placed on the 60-day injured list. Adam McCalvy of MLB.com was among those to relay the news. That means Hall has been officially ruled out until late May at the earliest. That’s the corresponding move to open a roster spot for lefty Jose Quintana, who has now been officially signed.

Back on February 12th, it was reported that Hall had a lat strain and was going to be shut down for at least the next two weeks. It has now been three weeks since that reporting with little information coming out about his progress. About a week ago, McCalvy relayed that Hall had not even been cleared to start playing catch. Manager Pat Murphy tells McCalvy today that Hall is expected to resume playing catch at the end of this week.

Given the sluggish progress and this transaction, it seems the Brewers don’t expect Hall to return anytime soon. Players can be placed on the 60-day IL once pitchers and catchers report to camp but the clock doesn’t start ticking until Opening Day, so Hall won’t be eligible for reinstatement until late May even in a best-case scenario.

It’s an unfortunate development for Hall, who hasn’t been able to build a decent workload. He still doesn’t have a 100-inning season on his track record as a professional. With the Orioles in 2022 and 2023, they shuttled him between the majors and minors as well as the rotation and the bullpen. He was traded to the Brewers as part of the Corbin Burnes deal ahead of the 2024 season and Milwaukee mostly deployed him as a starter last year, but a knee sprain capped him at 84 frames, majors and minors combined.

The Brewers still have hope of Hall becoming a viable starter one day, given that he’s a former top 100 prospect and was a key part of the Burnes deal. He could still have a nice season in 2025 but starting it with a lengthy IL stint isn’t ideal.

For the Brewers, they will have some rotation question marks to start the season, though the Quintana signing helps to solidify the group. Alongside Quintana will be Freddy Peralta, Tobias Myers, Aaron Civale and Nestor Cortes. They will add Brandon Woodruff in there at some point, though his timeline is unclear after he spent 2024 recovering from shoulder surgery. Aaron Ashby has an oblique strain and is still getting tested, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but seems likely to start the season on the IL. Robert Gasser is already on the 60-day IL as he recovers from last year’s Tommy John surgery.

Behind the front five, the Brewers currently have Logan Henderson, Carlos Rodríguez, Chad Patrick and Elvin Rodríguez as healthy options on the 40-man roster. However, Henderson and Patrick have no major league experience while the Rodríguezes have just 45 1/3 big league innings combined. Jacob Misiorowski is one of the top prospects in baseball but isn’t on the 40-man and walked 14.4% of batters faced last year.

    That sucks for the young man. Good thing the Brewers were able to pivot and got a quality arm in Quintana for a really good price.

    This is basically why the Os made him expendable. Ortiz was the gem of the trade, a major league ready infielder.

      Don’t forget about the draft pick.

      I know this sounds impatient, but the Orioles had better infielder options than Ortiz, with his so-so defense, .239 BA and mid OPS. For a Cy Young winner, the Brewers got Baltimore’s 4th best infield prospect and a hospital case arm

        But I doubt the Brewers would have been able to retain Burnes, so it will, in the long run, end up nothing-for-Ortiz.

        Tied with Matt Chapman with 11 OAA, but yeah, so-so defense.

        There’s nothing so-so about Joey Ortiz’s defense, certainly on last season’s showing. I agree the bat doesn’t look super-promising yet. But there’s time and we’ll see. DL Hall has been a bust so far, because he’s not been healthy. He also hasn’t looked the part as a starter when he’s had a chance.

    Waste of a piece to get back unless he becomes a late inning arm. Will never work out as a starter.

        Well if you think an injury prone guy with not great control and no innings built up will be a great starter, that’s your opinion too man.

        I know you’re quoting The Dude.

          You are free to express your opinion but the guy is still 26, left handed, talented, and with a heralded prospect history. Which means he’s going to be given a lot of chances to stick in a rotation. Let’s see how things play out.

          I’m certainly not going to proclaim “he will never work out as a starter.” Nor I am I saying “he is definitely going to work out as a starter.” MLB is filled with fragile starters.

    Ashby 2.0. Both careers going be lucky to produce 20pct of any season. How well Ortiz plays about the only chance to salvage that trade.
