Priester is in line to serve as the bulk reliever in Monday's game against the Orioles, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers are going with Rob Zastryzny as an opener Monday before he gives way to Priester. It's the second time this season that the club has used an opener ahead of Priester, who was clobbered for seven runs on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings against the Cubs earlier this month as a bulk reliever.

Priester (1-2) yielded a run on three hits and two walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Priester coughed up a solo homer to Jose Ramirez in the first inning but kept Cleveland's bats fairly quiet for the next four frames. It was Priester's second straight loss despite yielding only two earned runs (four total runs) in those outings. He threw 39 of 69 pitches for strikes and forced only four whiffs Tuesday. His ERA fell to 4.59 with a 23:21 K:BB through 33.1 innings. Priester is lined up to face the Orioles at home next week.

Priester (1-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up three runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over five innings as the Brewers were downed 9-1 by the Astros. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander didn't get much help from his offense or his defense, but Priester didn't aid his own cause by issuing at least three walks for the fifth straight outing. After a promising beginning to his stint in the Milwaukee rotation, he's been tagged for 15 runs (13 earned) over his last 14.1 innings with a 9:10 K:BB. With Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) having built up to 83 pitches in his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and Aaron Civale (hamstring) likely not far behind him in returning from the IL, Priester's time with the big club figures to be running short. If he does get another start, it'll come on the road early next week in Cleveland.

Priester allowed seven runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings versus the Cubs on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Priester was able to clean up the mess Tyler Alexander left him in the first inning, though he allowed one inherited runner to score. There was nowhere to hide for Priester in the second, as the Cubs teed off for seven runs, including a Michael Busch grand slam and a Pete Crow-Armstrong solo shot. Priester was steady in his first three outings of the season, but he's yielded 12 runs over his last 9.1 innings. His ERA spiked up a whole two runs from 3.79 to 5.79, and he's added a 1.76 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB across 23.1 innings over five starts. Priester or Chad Patrick will likely lose out on a rotation spot once Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is ready to be activated from the injured list.

Priester will work behind Tyler Alexander in Friday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander is expected to serve as merely an opener against Chicago, so Priester should still handle the bulk of the innings workload between the two. Priester struggled in his last start against the Cardinals, giving up five runs on eight hits and three walks across five innings in a no-decision.

Priester did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The Milwaukee right-hander was in line for the loss before Jackson Chourio bailed him out with a game-tying homer in the ninth. Priester allowed a season-worst eight base knocks as the St. Louis lineup peppered him with runs in the second, third and fourth innings. After looking sharp with a 0.90 ERA in 10 innings over his first two starts, Priester has regressed in his last two outings, allowing seven runs across nine innings. The 24-year-old currently lines up to face the high-powered Cubs offense at home next weekend.

Priester allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Priester struggled to throw the ball in the strike zone throughout his outing, as only 42 of his 81 pitches were strikes. The righty issued a season-high four walks, though he still managed to limit the damage to just two runs. Priester had tossed five frames in each of his previous two starts, but walks have certainly been an issue for him, as he's now handed out nine free passes in just 14 innings on the campaign. Priester has nonetheless registered a 1.93 ERA, and he's lined up to make his next start in St. Louis this weekend.

Priester (1-0) allowed just one hit and walked three over five scoreless innings in a win against the Tigers on Tuesday. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Priester was dominant in his first home start as a member of the Brewers. He did not give up a hit until the very last batter he faced, which was a leadoff double in the sixth by Gleyber Torres, leading to a pitching change with the game being close. Priester's been an excellent acquisition for the Brewers early on, allowing just one run on seven hits in 10 innings. He lines up for a road start in San Francisco next week.

Priester is scheduled to make his second start with the Brewers on Tuesday versus the Tigers at American Family Field, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee's rotation became more crowded after Jose Quintana was called up from Triple-A Nashville this past Friday to make his team debut, but Priester will retain a starting role after the Brewers moved Elvin Rodriguez to the bullpen. Priester's standing in the rotation could be on shakier ground in the coming weeks once Tobias Myers (oblique) and Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) are likely ready to return from the 15-day injured list, but the 24-year-old righty did his part to make a strong first impression after being acquired from the Red Sox last Monday. The Brewers tapped Priester to start three days later, and he held his own in a tough environment for pitchers in Colorado, limiting the Rockies to one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.

Priester didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rockies after allowing one run on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Other than giving up a leadoff solo homer to Brenton Doyle in the first inning, Priester kept Colorado's bats in check in a tough spot at hitter-friendly Coors Field in his Brewers debut. Priester is helping fill in for the injured Nestor Cortes (elbow) among other sidelined starters, although the right-hander figures to be unlikely to maintain a rotation spot once Milwaukee's pitching staff gets healthier. As it stands, the former top prospect is tentatively scheduled to next face the Tigers at home early next week.
