Gasser

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.

Gasser struck out five and walked one in his best start across three tries in 2026. His results have been better in Triple-A this year, which Wednesday’s outing more accurately reflected. This was likely just a spot start as Milwaukee pieces the back half of its rotation together series by series. Chad Patrick worked four innings out of the bullpen in a piggyback role on Wednesday.

Gasser draws the starting assignment for Wednesday’s showdown against the Giants at American Family Field after compiling a respectable 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38/8 K/BB ratio across 26 2/3 innings over seven starts at Triple-A this season. The 27-year-old southpaw has allowed seven runs over 8 1/3 innings during a pair of starts for the Brewers this year. He offers some streaming appeal in extremely deep mixed leagues since San Francisco has been a middle-of-the-road offense against left-handed pitchers this season. It’ll likely be a one-and-done spot start for Gasser unless Milwaukee decides they’re ready to replace a struggling Brandon Sproat in the rotation.

Gasser pitched decently in his final start with the Brewers on Saturday, giving up four runs over 4 1/3 innings against the Dodgers. With Brandon Woodruff nearing a return from the injured list, Gasser will head back to the rotation at Triple-A Nashville were he’ll remain until his services are needed once more.

Gasser walked four and allowed four hits, one of which was a three-run homer from Teoscar Hernández. With Brandon Woodruff coming back, Gasser figures to return to Triple-A on Sunday.

Gasser walked two and plunked three batters, factoring into his early exit. He averaged just 91.3 mph with his fastball, down from 93.0 mph in his six Triple-A starts. The Brewers have Thursday off and are probably getting Brandon Woodruff back after that, so Gasser should return to Triple-A now.

As anticipated, the 26-year-old southpaw will make his season debut on Sunday against the Twins. In six starts at Triple-A Nashville, Gasser compiled a 3.74 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and a 32/8 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings. He’s worth a look as a streaming option for Sunday’s start against the Twins, though he may not stick around in the Brewers’ rotation after this one.

Gasser will already be the 11th pitcher to start a game for the Brewers. The 26-year-old has made six appearances for Triple-A Nashville, and over his 21 1/3 innings, he’s whiffed 32 hitters against eight walks with a 3.74 ERA. He would be worthy of streaming consideration for those looking to take a chance.

Gasser produced 18 whiffs on 44 swings and finished with a 37% CSW against a fine Norfolk lineup that had Jackson Holliday batting second. He was in the running for a spot in Milwaukee’s rotation until the end of the spring, and there’s the chance we’ll see him soon, though that also probably depends on how Logan Henderson performs and whether Quinn Priester is able to pull off a quick return from the IL.

Gasser had a shot at earning a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he struggled to a 5.11 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 14/4 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings in his four Cactus League starts. He’s expected to start the year in the rotation at Triple-A Nashville and should get an opportunity with the Brewers at some point during the 2026 campaign.
