As of Tuesday, Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (lat) was building up for bullpen sessions in Arizona that are tentatively scheduled for April 15 and 18 before potentially moving to a live batting practice session on April 23, according to MLB.com. Hall is on the 60-day injured list due to a left-lat strain and won't be eligible to return before late May. The 26-year-old has been throwing on flat ground at the team's spring training complex as he works his way back from a lat injury that he suffered this spring. Hall started off the 2024 season in rough fashion before injuring his knee and going on the IL. When he returned, he was decent out of the bullpen with a 3.68 ERA in relief in his final eight appearances. Given his inconsistency and struggles with injuries, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hall return to a relief role for Milwaukee when he makes his 2025 debut.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed left-handed pitcher DL Hall (lat) on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for Jose Quintana, who the team signed earlier this week. Hall was dealing with this lat strain before reporting to camp. Hall is scheduled to play catch later this week, but it appears the team will opt to slow down his recovery plan. Last season, the 26-year-old was only able to log 43 innings at the MLB level. He tallied 44 punchouts and held a high 5.02 ERA with a 1.60 WHIP. In 40 innings at Triple-A, Hall held a 3.83 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP. During the 2023 season, Hall flashed some upside in the majors as he posted a 3.26 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 23 punchouts in 19 innings of work. When Hall is cleared to return, fantasy managers should expect him to compete for a role in the bullpen.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (lat) still isn't playing catch four weeks after injuring his lat, but he hopes to be cleared to resume throwing next week, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Even if Hall doesn't suffer any setbacks as he builds his arm up this spring, he could be forced to open the 2025 regular season on the injured list. Before his lat injury, the Brewers were planning on stretching him out as a starter, but his latest injury could push Milwaukee to consider him in a relief role once again to open the year. The 26-year-old southpaw began last year in the rotation but was blown up for 14 earned runs in four starts before he injured his knee. He was much better later in the year after being sent to a relief role, although his velocity was down and he walked too many hitters. Hall must figure out how to stay healthy and improve his command in order to secure a permanent rotation spot in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said on Wednesday during his first media session of spring training that left-hander DL Hall (lat) is dealing with a lat injury and will be shut down from throwing for several more weeks. The Brewers were hoping that Hall would come to spring training to compete for a starting rotation spot in 2025, but the 26-year-old southpaw's lat injury could force him back to a relief role after he finished the 2024 campaign in the bullpen. This doesn't mean that Hall won't make starts for the Brewers in 2025, but his most likely path to an Opening Day roster spot will now most likely be as a reliever. The former first-rounder struggled as a starter early last year before injuring his knee and finished with a 5.02 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with a career-high 44 K's and 21 walks in 43 innings over 13 outings (seven starts). Hall needs to get healthy before being considered a fantasy asset again in deeper leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall is listed as the team's probable start for Sunday's game at Chase Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sunday's outing will be Hall's seven start of the year and his first since Aug. 30, when he was excellent by tossing seven shutout innings with a walk and five strikeouts to beat the Cincinnati Reds. Since being called up when rosters expanded earlier this month, Hall has appeared out of the bullpen twice for the Brew Crew, throwing 5 2/3 scoreless frames with three walks and seven punchouts against the Cardinals and Giants. Hall has a 4.01 ERA and 1.54 WHIP on the year with 34 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings over his eight appearances in the big leagues this year. Against a Diamondbacks in the thick of the playoff hunt, Hall will be a shaky fantasy streaming option, albeit with upside as well.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher DL Hall is being promoted to the major leagues. The 25-year-old made the opening day roster out of spring training but struggled with a poor 4.82 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP through 28 innings of work. At Triple-A Nashville, the southpaw held a 3.83 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 25:35 BB:K ratio across 40 innings. Hall will likely operate as a long relief option in Milwaukee, as the Brewers currently have five healthy starting pitchers in their rotation. However, he could given a handful of spot starts during the stretch run and could be worth streaming in deeper NL-only formats in favorable matchups.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher DL Hall made his first start since coming off the injured list on Sunday. The left-hander struck out nine batters while allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in a no-decision. His last start came in late April so it's surprising that the Brewers let Hall throw 92 pitches in his first game back. The expectation was that Hall would be on a shorter leash but the Brewers felt he was ready for the challenge. The nine strikeouts is great to see, so we'll see if he can build on this performance going forward.

The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated left-hander DL Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list on Sunday and placed left-hander Hoby Milner (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 9) with a left-shoulder impingement in a corresponding move. The team also moved right-hander Enoli Paredes (forearm) to the 60-day IL. Hall will make his fifth start of the year, and first since April 20 against the St. Louis Cardinals, on Sunday against the visiting division-rival Cincinnati Reds. There's a good chance the 25-year-old southpaw will be a bullpen piece for the Brew Crew down the stretch as long as their current starting rotation stays healthy. We wouldn't recommend Hall as a viable streaming option in his return to the big leagues, either, as he had posted a 7.71 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in 16 1/3 innings for Milwaukee in his four starts before his knee injury.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching DL Hall (knee, forearm) is set to resume his rehab assignment on Sunday as he joins Triple-A Nashville. The southpaw was hit in his left forearm by a comebacker and it looks like that did cause a significant injury. The 25-year-old originally landed on the 15-day injured list on April 21 with a left knee sprain and was then shifted to the 60-day IL. Hall has made for starts in the big leagues this season and has posted a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP, and a 10:13 BB:K ratio across 16 innings. The former first-round pick will likely need a few more rehab starts at Triple-A before rejoining the big leagues. Hall may see a handful of starts down the stretch but will likely shift to a bulk relief role when cleared, as he struggled as a starter.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee, forearm) avoided a fracture in his forearm but will be shut down for three to 10 days after being hit by a line drive during a minor-league outing on Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville. It will obviously extend his rehab assignment after Tuesday's outing was supposed to be the 25-year-old southpaw's final rehab outing. Hall isn't going to be an option for Milwaukee pitching staff until some point in the second half of the season, but there's no specific timetable and he's not even guaranteed a spot in the rotation. The former 21st overall pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2017 made four starts for the Brew Crew earlier this season and wasn't effective, allowing 14 earned runs on 27 hits (four homers) while walking 10 and fanning 13 in 16 1/3 innings.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall's (knee) minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday was expected to be his final one before rejoining the Brewers in the big leagues. It's great news for Milwaukee's pitching staff, but for fantasy purposes, it remains to be seen what kind of role he'll have now that right-hander Aaron Civale was added to the starting rotation this week. The 25-year-old southpaw gave up three unearned runs in his final rehab start on the Fourth of July and he'll most likely be used in relief for Milwaukee when he's officially reinstated. The Brewers will most likely continue to build up his arm in a bulk-relief role in order to have him as a starting option in the postseason. Besides, he had a 7.71 ERA and 2.26 WHIP with 13 K's and 10 walks in his four starts for the Brew Crew earlier this year before getting hurt.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee) had his left knee evaluated in Milwaukee on Monday. "We have no indication that it's worse than (a tweak) right now. But we just want to be conservative. There's no sense in rushing through it or pushing through it at this point," assistant general manager Matt Kleine said. Hall tweaked his knee in his latest minor-league rehab appearance last Thursday with Triple-A Nashville when his cleat got caught on the field. The 25-year-old southpaw initially landed on the 15-day injured list on April 21 with a left-knee sprain and started his rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on May 19. It's unclear when his next rehab outing may be or when he might return to Milwaukee. In his four starts for the Brewers before his injury, Hall allowed 14 earned runs on 27 hits (four homers) while walking 10 and fanning 13 in 16 1/3 innings.

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left knee sprain on Sunday afternoon. Hall reportedly suffered the injury while fielding a bunt against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The 25-year-old came into the season with some hype after pitching well as a reliever in 2023. Unfortunately, the results have not been good for the former top prospect as he owns a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13/10 K/BB through four starts this season. It is currently unclear how the Brewers plan to fill Hall's spot rotation, but Bryse Wilson and Robert Gasser are both in consideration.

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired left-hander DL Hall, shortstop Joey Ortiz and the 34th overall pick in this year's MLB draft from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday in a blockbuster trade that sent right-hander Corbin Burnes to the O's, according to a source. Hall, 25, was once a top pitching prospect for Baltimore, but he's made 29 appearances and one start in the big leagues and was used as a reliever in 2023 due to an injury. Hall ended up with a 3.26 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 19 1/3 innings last season. With a change of scenery, Hall should have a better shot at cracking Milwaukee's Opening Day rotation, especially with Burnes now gone. Ortiz is in a similar situation after being blocked at the big-league level for a middle-infield spot in Baltimore. The 25-year-old will have more opportunity with the Brew Crew after hitting .321 (112-for-349) with nine home runs, 58 RBI and 11 steals in 88 games for Triple-A Norfolk in 2023.

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that the team views left-hander DL Hall as a starting pitcher in the long-term. Elias said that Hall could remain in the bullpen in 2024, depending on how spring training goes, before he's eventually stretched out over the next year. There's also a possibility that Hall is stretched out immediately. The 25-year-old southpaw spent most of the 2023 season as a reliever and threw 19 1/3 innings of relief at the big-league level for the Orioles, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on 18 hits (two home runs) while walking five and striking out 23 over 18 appearances. Hall has not exceeded 100 innings pitched in any of his six professional seasons, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much out of him in 2024.

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect DL Hall (back) was sent back to Sarasota, Fla., last weekend with the goal of gaining strength and velocity after a back injury that he suffered during spring training. The young left-hander is known for a high-octane fastball, but his average velocity at Triple-A Norfolk this year has been only 93.5 mph. With the O's earlier in 2023, he averaged 96.2 mph with his heater. The 24-year-old southpaw will still take part in live-game situations and throwing sessions at the team's spring training complex, but most of his time will be spent in the weight room. The team's No. 9 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has improved his secondary pitches as a result of his drop in fastball velocity, but the latest development will push his return to Baltimore back.

The Baltimore Orioles added pitching prospect DL Hall from Triple-A Norfolk to serve as the team's 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. The team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will be brought up to the big leagues for the first time this year to serve in a long-relief role for extra pitching depth during the doubleheader. Expect the Orioles to send him back to the minors following the twin bill. The 24-year-old left-hander made 11 appearances in his first taste of the majors in 2022, and he's currently posting a 4.41 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, nine walks and 20 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings over four starts for Norfolk. Hall has the stuff to generate high strikeout rates in the big leagues, but he needs to work on his control before the O's seriously consider him for their rotation later this year.

The Baltimore Orioles have optioned pitching prospect DL Hall to Triple-A Norfolk. Hall dealt with back issues for most of the spring and manager Brandon Hyde is hoping to have Hall stretched out with the potential to return as a starter at some point. The left-hander got his first taste of the big leagues in 2022 and struggled with a 5.93 ERA in 11 appearances (one start). Hall has a strong fastball, but his biggest blemish hasn't been his talent, but his command. If he can sort that out, Hall could be an intriguing option in all formats.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander DL Hall's (back) live batting practice session on Sunday went "extremely well," and he has another one scheduled for Tuesday at spring training. If his session on Tuesday also goes well, the Orioles are hoping to get Hall into a Grapefruit League game. The 24-year-old southpaw is building himself up as a starter, but it remains to be seen if he'll be ready for Opening Day in a starting role. Baltimore has yet to decide whether they want to use Hall in a relief or starting role for the majority of the 2023 season. Hall has great stuff on the mound, but he's been unable to control it consistently. He allowed nine earned runs on 17 hits while walking six and striking out 19 in 13 2/3 innings in his first taste of the majors in 2022.
