Quinn Priester to Miss First Month of Season with Wrist Nerve Issue

Priester is dealing with a nerve issue related to thoracic outlet syndrome in his right wrist. While he is currently targeting a return by late April or early May, he expects to miss at least the first month of the 2026 season. The right-hander has been cleared to throw on flat ground and is scheduled for a bullpen session on March 21. Specialists believe the injury can be managed without surgery, providing a path forward for his season.
