ADRIAN HOUSER NEWS

Re-signs with Milwaukee Houser (groin) avoided arbitration by signing a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Brewers on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports

Impact Houser finished 2022 with a 4.73 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 102.2 innings -- a major step down from his marks from the season before (3.22 ERA, 1.28 WHIP). With the Brewers rotation already loaded with names like Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta and Eric Lauer, Houser will likely find himself in a battle with emerging southpaw Aaron Ashby for the Crew's fifth rotation spot.

Goes on IL The Brewers placed Houser (groin) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact As expected, the right groin strain that Houser suffered in his start Tuesday will result in him missing the rest of the regular season. Unless the Brewers are able to poach a wild-card spot from either the Phillies or Padres and then advance to the divisional round, Houser is unlikely to pitch again in 2022. He's made 21 starts for Milwaukee, pitching to a 6-10 record, 4.73 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 102.2 innings.

Impact Houser departed with the injury after 3.1 innings Tuesday, and his record dropped to 6-10 after he gave up three runs on two hits with three strikeouts and four walks. The right-hander rejoined the rotation in late August after he missed nearly two months with an elbow injury, and he's now poised to finish the season on the shelf with another injury. It's unclear if Houser would be available during the playoffs should the Brewers secure a spot.

Departs with injury Houser was removed from Tuesday's start against the Cardinals with an apparent groin injury, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The right-hander appeared to suffer the injury during the fourth inning as he landed awkwardly while delivering a pitch. Houser exited in line for the loss and allowed three runs on two hits with three strikeouts and four walks over 3.1 frames. He limped off the field under his own power, and it's unclear how the injury will affect his next turn through the rotation.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Effective in short start Houser allowed three hits with no walks or strikeouts across 4.2 scoreless innings Wednesday against the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Houser generated only two swinging strikes across 74 total pitches, but he managed to turn in an effective outing. Perhaps most encouragingly, he didn't surrender a free pass, as he had walked multiple batters in four of five outings since returning from the injured list -- good for a 5.9 BB/9. For the season, Houser has a 4.62 ERA with only a 66:43 K:BB across 99.1 innings.

Impact Houser looked overwhelmed in his 19th start of the year. He repeatedly nibbled around the outside of the zone and opted to put men on base rather than attacking hitters. The four walks that he issued give him 43 free passes in 94.2 innings pitched this season with only 66 strikeouts. The K/BB of 1.5 he has this season is the lowest rate of his four-year career as a starter. Houser is tentatively expected to face the Mets in another tough matchup next week.

Impact Houser has been on the shelf since July 2 with a right flexor strain, but he looks to be healthy again after making three rehab starts at Triple-A Nashville earlier this month. The 29-year-old had been scheduled to make another start for Nashville this past Sunday, but he was scratched in a decision that was apparently not injury-related. The Brewers will have an opening in the rotation for Houser after Aaron Ashby (shoulder) was placed on the IL on Monday, but expectations should be tempered for the right-hander if he does in fact get the starting nod Wednesday. Prior to landing on the IL, Houser submitted a 4.72 ERA and 7.7 K-BB% across 15 starts, and his results during the rehab assignment weren't overly impressive (3.24 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 10:7 K:BB in 8.1 innings).

AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making third rehab start Tuesday Houser (elbow) is scheduled to make his third rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact Houser will be looking to build on a positive showing his last time out for Nashville on Thursday, when he struck out four over three no-hit innings. He built up to 48 pitches in that start, and he may need to get to the 60-to-75 range Tuesday to have a shot at coming off the 15-day injured list and making his next appearance in the big leagues.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Next rehab outing Thursday Houser (elbow) will make his next rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old covered two scoreless frames during his first rehab start Saturday, and he'll continue ramping up his workload Thursday. Fellow starter Freddy Peralta recently returned from the injured list after only two outings in the minors, but it appears Houser will require a longer rehab stint before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for rehab assignment Houser (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville this weekend, with his first start coming Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Per McCalvy, Houser is scheduled to pitch just two innings Saturday, so he'll likely require at least one or two more additional rehab outings to get stretched back out to a normal starter's workload. With Freddy Peralta (lat) making his return from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Milwaukee will have its Opening Day rotation back to full strength whenever Houser is deemed ready to go. Though Aaron Ashby (4.13 ERA, 1.45 WHIP in 80.2 innings) has performed marginally better than Houser (4.72 ERA, 1.48 WHIP in 76.1 innings) this season, the Brewers' desire to manage Ashby's workload should help Houser's case for reclaiming the No. 5 starter's role.

MLB trade deadline 2022: Can Milwaukee Brewers add an impact bat?

JULY 27, 2022

Throwing again Houser (elbow) was spotted playing catch in the outfield prior to Wednesday's game against the Twins, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser isn't on track to return from the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break, but his ability to resume throwing less than two weeks after landing on the shelf suggests he's dealing with a low-degree strain of his right elbow. He'll likely continue to increase his throwing distance in the next few days before advancing to mound work and then facing hitters. Jason Alexander will continue to serve as Milwaukee's fifth starter while Houser is on the mend.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Added to IL The Brewers placed Houser (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right flexor strain.

Impact With the Brewers labeling Houser's elbow injury as a strain rather than soreness, he seems likely to miss more than the minimum 15 days and could be sidelined through the All-Star break. Aaron Ashby (forearm) is on track to be activated from the IL on Saturday and should fill Ashby's spot in the rotation.

Headed to injured list Houser will be placed on the injured list after suffering an elbow injury during Thursday's start against Pittsburgh, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser exited Thursday's outing after only 2.1 innings due to tightness in his right elbow. There's no further information currently available, though manager Craig Counsell said Houser will return to Milwaukee to have his elbow examined. The move has not yet been made official, but Houser will be out until at least mid-July.

Suffering from elbow tightness Houser exited Thursday's start against the Pirates with right elbow tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser left the start after just 2.1 innings. While there are no further details, the diagnosis suggests Houser could be in danger of missing at least his next start -- currently projected to come July 5 against the Cubs. Chi Chi Gonzalez appears to be the likeliest candidate to take that turn through the rotation.

Exits with trainer Houser exited his start Thursday against the Pirates with an apparent injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Houser came out after throwing 2.1 innings, though the cause of his discomfort was not clear. He surrendered three earned runs on five hits -- including a pair of homers -- and a walk. Milwaukee's rotation is getting healthier, but if Houser is forced to miss any time it would likely force Chi Chi Gonzalez to stick in the starting five.

JULY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Yields five runs in loss Houser (4-8) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Blue Jays.

Impact It's the fifth time in his last six starts that Houser's allowed at least three runs. The Blue Jays did all their damage against him in the second inning, with a three-run Matt Chapman double accounting for most of it. Houser saw his ERA rise to 4.50 with a 1.45 WHIP and 57:30 K:BB across 74 innings in 14 starts. The right-hander's had a rather mediocre season so far, but he may have some streaming appeal in next week's projected road start versus the Pirates.

JUNE 22, 2022

Quality start in win Houser (4-7) earned the victory Sunday in Cincinnati, striking out five in six innings while allowing three runs on four hits and four walks.

Impact All three runs against Houser came in the fourth inning as he allowed three walks and two hits in the frame. The 29-year-old struggled with command all game and threw only 58 of his 103 pitches for strikes. It was just his fifth quality start in 13 outings this season and his first since May 23. His next start will likely be next weekend against Toronto.

JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to 3-7 Houser (3-7) took the loss to the Mets on Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Houser made a mess of things right away, allowing hits to four of the first five batters he faced while also uncorking a wild pitch in a three-run first inning for New York. He wasn't all that bad from there, but regardless Houser has now dropped five straight decisions. The right-hander sure isn't pitching like a rotation mainstay, but it doesn't seem like his starting job is in serious jeopardy yet, especially with Freddy Peralta (lat) now on the 60-day injured list for Milwaukee.

JUNE 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles against Phillies Houser (3-6) got the loss Wednesday after he pitched six innings, surrendering five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five against the Phillies.

Impact Houser had trouble with the Phillies lineup in this one, particularly when it came to the long ball. He gave up a two-run shot to Bryson Stott in the top of the third, another two-run homer to Kyle Schwarber in the fourth and a solo shot to Odubel Herrera in the fifth. The three home runs allowed were a season high for the 29-year-old, and he has now given up 11 runs over 15 innings in his last three starts. Houser's difficult stretch has raised his ERA from 2.98 to 3.92 over 57.1 frames in 11 starts this season. He'll look to right the ship Tuesday when he's tentatively set to face the Mets.

JUNE 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows one run in five innings Houser did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five innings against San Diego. He struck out five.

Impact Houser bounced back with his third one-run outing over his last four games after giving up eight runs to the Cardinals in his last start. The right-hander continues to struggle with his command and has walked multiple batters seven times this season, including at least three walks five times. Across 10 starts, Houser sports a 3.51 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP with 41 strikeouts through 51.1 innings.
