  • Brewers Anticipate Return of Freddy Peralta and Justin Topa


    TL Schwerz

    The Milwaukee Brewers have been hit hard on the pitching front when it comes to injuries this season. Key starters Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta have both missed time, while a host of relievers have cycled through the injured list as well. Now both Peralta and Justin Topa are nearing a return as they begin rehab assignments.

    Freddy Peralta last pitched for Milwaukee on May 22nd. He was eventually transferred to the 60-day injured list. Joining Triple-A Nashville to start his rehab assignment, Peralta threw two innings while giving up a single hit, a solo home run. Peralta struck out three and walked one across his 33 pitches.

    The Brewers will need Peralta to rejoin a rotation looking to keep Milwaukee holding serve with the St. Louis Cardinals. Woodruff and Corbin Burnes continue to do the heavy lifting, but Peralta’s 2.11 FIP is much better than the 4.42 ERA suggested he was going to contribute through the early part of this season.

    Justin Topa made his Major League debut in 2020 at the age of 29. He has dealt with multiple elbow issues and was shut down this spring with a right tendon flexor strain. One the 60-day injured list as well, Topa is now set to begin a rehab assignment with the Arizona Complex club. He’s flashed great strikeout stuff when healthy, and Topa worked a scoreless inning of relief with one strikeout during his 2022 debut.
