Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Patrick will be in the rotation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee has a plethora of starting pitching options, but Patrick is a lock to open the season in the rotation. The 27-year-old is coming off a strong 2025 season, where he posted a 3.53 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and a 127:40 K:BB across 119.2 innings. Murphy also confirmed Jacob Misiorowski will have a spot in the rotation, but the rest is up in the air at this point. With Brandon Woodruff (lat) and Quinn Priester (wrist) not guaranteed to be ready for Opening Day, Patrick may even have a shot at being the Brewers' Opening Day starter.

Patrick allowed one earned run over 2.0 innings in Sunday's spring game against the Royals. He gave up two hits, struck out two batters and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was not particularly sharp in his spring debut, allowing four runners to reach base and throwing just 21 of his 41 pitches for strikes. Despite that, he remains firmly in the mix for a rotation spot, and he is a pitcher to keep an eye on after striking out 127 batters over 119.2 innings during the 2025 regular season and 11 more over 9.0 frames in the postseason.

Patrick did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Padres, allowing two hits and two walks across three scoreless innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was deployed as a pseudo-opener Wednesday, only throwing 57 pitches, though he was certainly effective in the role. In his last four appearances, including two starts, Patrick has allowed just two runs across 9.1 innings while punching out 13. Overall, the rookie right-hander sports a 3.56 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 125:39 K:BB across 118.2 innings this season.

Patrick yielded two runs on five hits and no walks over 4.1 innings with three strikeouts and took a no-decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory at St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick has reentered the Milwaukee rotation because Jose Quintana (calf) recently landed on the injured list. The rookie right-hander limited the Cardinals lineup, as he didn't give up any extra-base hits. Patrick allowed on both runs scored on RBI singles by Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan. The 27-year-old now sports a 3.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 119:37 K:BB across 115.2 total innings. Patrick currently projects to make his next start at home against the Reds next weekend.

Patrick is slated to start Saturday's game in St. Louis, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since making a 4.1-inning spot start versus the Rangers back on Sept. 10, Patrick has shifted back to the bullpen. After striking out four batters across a pair of scoreless innings Sunday versus the Cardinals and Tuesday versus the Angels, Patrick will step back into the rotation this weekend as a replacement to Jose Quintana (calf), who was placed on the injured list. Though Patrick has mostly been outside of the big-league rotation since the All-Star break, he's been effective over his 24 outings (21 starts) for Milwaukee in 2025, logging a 3.64 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 116:37 K:BB across 111.1 innings.

Patrick didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Texas, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks with six strikeouts across 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

A game-tying two-run home run by Michael Helman with one out in the fifth inning ended Patrick's start, as he was pulled at 80 pitches following the long ball. The 27-year-old was relegated to Triple-A in early July, but he's been called up to make three starts for the Brewers since, tallying a 4.91 ERA and a 17:7 K:BB across 14.2 innings during that stretch. He's expected to return to Triple-A Nashville without making another big-league start.

The Brewers recalled Patrick from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander is joining Milwaukee for a spot start, which will be his first big-league appearance since Aug. 24. Patrick has started in 20 of his 21 MLB outings this season and has delivered a quality rookie campaign with a 3.60 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 106:34 K:BB across 105 innings.

Patrick will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick is no stranger to starting in the big leagues this season, and he's posted a 3.10 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over his last four outings dating back to June 29. This appears to be a spot start situation for Patrick, as the Brewers are looking to give the starting rotation an extra day of rest late in the regular season.

The Brewers optioned Patrick to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was called up to start the Brewers' series finale versus the Giants on Sunday, when he came away with the no-decision in a 4-3 loss after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings. Though the right-hander will head back to Triple-A, he could be a candidate to make additional starts for the Brewers in September if the team loses another rotation member to an injury.

Patrick did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was impressive overall Sunday, logging seven strikeouts while holding San Francisco to just two runs on a Luis Matos homer in the second inning. The 27-year-old Patrick sports a 3.60 ERA this season with a 1.30 WHIP and 106:34 K:BB. Despite the strong outing from the right-hander, it remains to be seen whether the Brewers will stick with a six-man rotation. If not, Patrick will likely head back to Triple-A.
