Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The right-hander made a handful of minor-league appearances last season while working back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in May of 2022, and the Brewers inked him to a major-league deal for 2024. Ross hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021, when he had a 4.17 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 109:34 K:BB across 108 innings for Washington. He has a decent chance of cracking Milwaukee's rotation to begin the season and could have some fantasy value if he's able to regain that 2021 form, though he has an inconsistent track record overall and figures to have some workload limitations given his lack of innings over the previous two seasons.

Mid-June return possible
Ross (back) will throw a bullpen session this weekend, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Ross will need to make at least one rehab start after that, but a return from the 15-day injured list by mid-June is possible if everything goes according to plan. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since late May with a lower-back strain. Ross has collected a 4.50 ERA and 35:16 K:BB over 42 innings covering nine starts this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should remain in rotation
Manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday the Brewers will "probably" utilize a six-man starting rotation for most of April, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which should allow Ross to retain his rotation spot.
ANALYSIS
Milwaukee has a packed schedule in April with 26 games over the next 27 days, so it's not a surprise a six-man unit is being considered. That strategy will likely result in Ross retaining his place in the rotation despite the impending return of Wade Miley from a shoulder injury. Ross made his first MLB appearance since 2021 on Wednesday and struggled with his command as he issued five walks, but he still managed to keep the Twins off the board over 3.2 frames.

One consistent theme throughout Ross's professional career has been injuries, and 2021 was no different. Ross had shoulder troubles in his developmental years in the minors, and had Tommy John surgery in 2017. He made it back in 14 months and was once again throwing mid-to-upper 90s, but the statistical results were not as attractive. After opting out of 2020, he pitched effectively in 2021 with a career high in innings as well as a career-best strikeout rate, but his season ended in mid-August with a partial tear in his previously-repaired UCL. It was decided he does not require a second TJS just yet as he and the club are taking the conservative approach, especially with Ross being in the final year before free agency. The theme continues in 2022, as Ross underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow in early March and will open the season on the 60-day IL, muddling his outlook for the entire campaign.
