The Brewers staff has dealt with a ton of attrition over the last year.

Aaron Ashby experienced issues in spring training, and DL Hall and Robert Gasser are on the 60-day injured list. Brandon Woodruff is working his way back from serious right shoulder surgery in 2023, and comes with significant question marks. Nestor Cortes is already on the injured list as well, and the team lost Frankie Montas and Wade Miley in free agency.

Forced into a starting rotation spot to cover for last year's injury issues, Myers went 9-6 with a 3.00 ERA over 27 starts for the Brewers in 2024. He struck out 127 batters in 138.0 innings and helped lead Milwaukee to a National League Central crown and a trip to the playoffs.

Unfortunately, they were beaten by the New York Mets in three games during the wild card series.

Milwaukee enters play on Tuesday at 5-5 overall. They'll take on the 2-7 Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver. First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m. ET as Freddy Peralta pitches against lefty Kyle Freeland.

Peralta is 0-1 with a 2.08 ERA while Freeland is 0-1 with a 2.13. Nashville will begin their weeklong series with the Memphis Redbirds, the Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
