Curtiss (elbow) was non-tendered by the Brewers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Curtis was acquired by Milwaukee at the traded deadline in July, but he pitched in only six games before suffering a UCL injury and undergoing Tommy John surgery. He's set to miss the entirety of 2022, so the team decided not to tender him a contract.

Curtiss underwent Tommy John surgery last week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was diagnosed with a torn UCL in mid-August, so it's no surprise to see him undergo the surgery. Recovery from the procedure is expected to keep him out until the start of the 2023 season.

The Brewers transferred Curtiss (elbow) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was diagnosed with a torn UCL in in right elbow a few days ago and is set to miss the rest of the season, so the Brewers' decision to move him to the 60-day IL is merely a formality. The right-hander has yet to decide whether to undergo Tommy John surgery to address the injury, though the procedure would seem to be a likely outcome.

Curtiss was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a torn UCL in his right elbow.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss exited Tuesday's contest with elbow discomfort and is now staring down an extended absence. The 28-year-old will likely miss the rest of the season and could require Tommy John surgery, which would also sideline him for most, if not all, of the 2022 campaign.

Curtiss was removed from Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs with right elbow discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss recorded two outs and allowed a run on two hits while recording a strikeout before leaving the field with an athletic trainer. The right-hander attempted to remain in the contest but was ultimately pulled by manager Craig Counsell. He should be considered day-to-day until the specifics of the injury are known.

Curtiss was traded from the Marlins to the Brewers on Friday in exchange for Payton Henry, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old righty reliever had been excellent for Miami this season, logging a 2.48 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 40 innings. He should work in mid-leverage spots down the stretch for the Brewers.

Curtiss struck out two batters in a perfect inning as the opener in Sunday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss needed just 10 pitches to set down the top of San Diego's lineup in order. He lowered his season ERA to 2.56 with a 40:9 K:BB through 38.2 innings. The 28-year-old righty will move back to the bullpen but could be used as an opener again at some point soon with Trevor Rogers (back) on the injured list.

Curtiss will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Trevor Rogers (back) was moved to the injured list Saturday, an already shorthanded Miami rotation became even further depleted, so the Marlins could treat the series finale as a bullpen day. Expect Curtiss to work one or two innings before giving way to another reliever.

Curtiss (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Fish Stripes reports.
EDGE Analysis
He struck out two in one inning during his lone rehab appearance and will take the place of Pablo Lopez (rotator cuff strain). Curtiss should work in mid-leverage situations.

Curtiss (neck) made a rehab appearance for High-A Beloit on Tuesday, striking out two over a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was placed on the 10-day injured list July 4 with a stiff neck, but the reliever looks like he'll be ready to go shortly after the All-Star break. After being acquired from the Rays in the offseason, Curtiss has been a key piece out of the Miami bullpen with a 2.67 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 34:8 K:BB in 33.2 innings.
