Robert Gasser gets hit hard in loss to Pirates

Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Player Stats

Robert Gasser was hit hard in Sunday’s loss to the Pirates, giving up seven runs on eight hits in his three-plus innings of work.

Gasser struck out three batters in the abbreviated outing and didn’t walk a batter. The Pirates got to him for four runs in the second inning — including a two-run blast from Henry Davis. He then allowed the first three hitters to reach in the fourth, including a solo homer from Marcell Ozuna, before turning the ball over to the bullpen. Gasser generated seven whiffs on 58 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 28 percent. He finishes the first half with a disappointing 5.24 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 43/14 K/BB ratio over 46 1/3 innings in his nine starts for the Brewers.

Brewers recalled LHP Robert Gasser from Triple-A Nashville.

Gasser has been up-and-down for Milwaukee over the last few weeks, turning in a respectable 4.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 40/14 K/BB ratio across 43 1/3 innings over eight starts. The 27-year-old former top pitching prospect provides Milwaukee with some additional depth heading into Saturday’s doubleheader against the Pirates and could wind up joining their rotation in place of an injured Kyle Harrison (forearm) coming out of next week’s All-Star break.

Robert Gasser worked 7 2/3 innings while allowing two runs in the second game of a doubleheader against the Cardinals to pick up a win Tuesday for the Brewers in a 10-2 blowout victory for Milwaukee.

Gasser was only up to start the second game of the twin billing, and he made the most of his opportunity. He allowed only four hits, and outside of a two-run blast from Nelson Velázquez, he didn’t have much issue keeping the Cardinals’ bats silent. Gasser has done a solid job when called upon in 2026, but there’s no guarantee when — or if — he’s going to make more starts for the Brew Crew going forward. He’s definitely worth consideration if/when those opportunities present themselves.

Brewers designated LHP Robert Gasser as the 27th man for Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Gasser will start Game 2 on Tuesday. The left-hander has a 4.54 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 36/13 K/BB ratio in 35 2/3 innings across seven starts for the Brewers this season. He has pitched better of late, allowing five runs on 13 hits in 17 1/3 innings across his last three starts with a 17/4 K/BB ratio. He’s a decent streamer in deeper formats today.

Brewers optioned LHP Robert Gasser to the Arizona Complex League.

The option all the way to the ACL is likely a procedural one, as it’s feasible the Brewers need to create a roster spot in Triple-A before they send the 27-year-old to Nashville. The southpaw has pitched decently — if inconsistently — in his time with Milwaukee, and will almost assuredly be back before the summer ends.

Robert Gasser allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Brewers’ 5-3 victory over the Reds on Monday.

Gasser gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out five. A single, a walk and a double got the Reds their first run in the first inning. Two more came against Gasser in the fifth inning when Elly De La Cruz hit a two-run home run. Gasser has a 4.54 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home this weekend.

The Brewers will start Robert Gasser, Brandon Sproat and Shane Drohan in their first three games against the Reds next week.

It was thought the Brewers might go back to a five-man rotation next week, but it’s not happening. There’s definitely no sense of urgency. The three possibilities to be dropped have all made four starts with ERAs in the mid-3.00s this month (3.48 for Sproat, 3.65 for Drohan and 3.74 for Gasser).
Brandon Sproat

MIL Starting Pitcher #23

Brandon Sproat (hamstring) will start on Tuesday against the Reds.

Sproat appears to be fine after leaving his previous start with a right hamstring cramp. He’s going to remain in Milwaukee’s rotation as they stick with a five-man mix now that Brandon Woodruff is back in the equation. It appears to be lefty Robert Gasser heading to the bullpen as the corresponding move.

Robert Gasser matched a season-high with seven strikeouts over six innings of two-run ball on Sunday in a win over the Braves.

Gasser gave up a first-inning run but ended up getting more than enough help fro Milwaukee’s offense, which responded with eight runs, as he completed six innings for the first time since 2024. It seems unlikely he’ll get another turn in the rotation with veteran Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) coming off the injured list, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Gasser stick around in a multi-inning relief role.

Robert Gasser threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits, in a no-decision Tuesday against the Guardians.

Gasser departed with a 1-0 lead that Aaron Ashby blew in the seventh before Ashby got his 10th win. Gasser is still looking for his first, having gone 0-3 with a 4.88 ERA in his five starts. This was his best showing to date, but it would have been more impressive if the Guardians lineup wasn’t so depleted. If he stays in the rotation, he’ll face the Braves on Sunday. However, the Brewers could have Brandon Woodruff back then.
Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Robert Gasser allowed six runs with seven strikeouts over five innings in a loss against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Gasser gave up a solo homer to Nick Kurtz in the first inning, then a two-run blast to Henry Bolte in the second as the home run barrage in Las Vegas continued on Tuesday. It didn’t stop there. Tyler Soderstrom went yard off Gasser for a two-run shot in the fifth, followed by a solo homer by Jonah Heim. Gasser’s day would be done after five frames. He struck out seven. The 27-year-old left-hander will take a bloated 6.38 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and a 19/9 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings into a start against the Guardians in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Ildemaro Vargas went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI as the Diamondbacks topped the Dodgers 5-3 on Sunday.

Vargas doubled and scored in the fifth. In the sixth, he hit what should have been another double on a drive into the right field corner, but either because he thought it was a homer or that it was going foul, he didn’t run out of the box and then was thrown out at first base after a wide turn towards second. It still drove in the go-ahead run in what had been a 3-3 tie, and it gave him just his second multihit game since May 19.

Mitch Bratt gave up three runs in three innings in his emergency start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Bratt was called up after it was revealed Saturday that Zac Gallen was being scratched. He struck out none and walked three today, throwing just 29 of his 58 pitches for strikes. The Diamondbacks, though, wound up winning 5-3 anyway, as six relievers all pitched scoreless innings behind him. It’s unclear if Bratt will stick around and start the second half in the rotation or return to Triple-A.

Paul Sewald recorded his 22nd save with a perfect ninth Sunday against the Dodgers.

Even with his 4.24 ERA, Sewald has saved the Diamondbacks’ bacon by going 22-for-23 in save chances this year. The team will likely be a buyer at the deadline, but it’s highly unlikely that it’ll be targeting a closer upgrade. Starting pitching, on the other hand, seems like a big need.

Emmet Sheehan surrendered three runs — one earned — in 5 1/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

After four scoreless frames, Sheehan was let down by his defense while giving up two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth. The Dodgers probably would have used a quicker hook with Sheehan today if not for the bullpen game Friday. As per usual, his velocity waned as the game went on; he averaged 95.6 mph with his fastball in the first but was down to 93.8 mph in the fifth and 92.8 mph in the sixth. There’s going to be a good argument for putting him in the pen once Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow return, but he should stay in the rotation for now.

The homer came on the first pitch of the bottom of the first, giving him nine leadoff homers this season. Ohtani was scheduled to have his left knee drained after the game. He’ll sit out the All-Star Game, but he’ll probably be in the lineup when play resumes Friday.

Teoscar Hernández struck out three times and walked once Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

It’s Hernández’s fourth straight hitless game. He was swinging the bat really well in the couple of weeks leading up his hamstring injury at the end of May, but since returning, he’s 4-for-41 with one homer and no other extra-base hits. Given the quality of his defense, he needs to do considerably better than his current .243/.319/.387 line to justify regular playing time on a team as strong as the Dodgers are.
