Phillies' Joe Ross: Inks one-year deal with Philly
The Philadelphia Phillies signed Joe Ross to a one-year, $4 million contract Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.Ross essentially slides into the swingman role vacated by free agent Spencer Turnbull. The 31-year-old Ross fared much better in relief (1.98 ERA, 24.1 percent strikeout rate) than he did as a starter (4.98 ERA, 18.7 percent strikeout rate) with the Brewers in 2024.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Works out of bullpen Tuesday
Joe Ross struck out a batter and allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Tuesday in the Milwaukee Brewers' 10-0 win over Atlanta.After returning from the 60-day injured list July 30, Ross started and covered five innings while taking a loss against Atlanta. Ross had started in each of his first 10 appearances of the season with Milwaukee and posted a 4.98 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in those outings before being moved to the bullpen this week. With the acquisition of Frankie Montas at the trade deadline, the Brewers didn't have room in the rotation for Ross, who should continue to operate as a low-leverage reliever until an injury to another starting pitcher reopens a rotation spot.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Takes loss in return
Joe Ross (2-5) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings, taking the loss versus Atlanta on Tuesday.Ross missed over two months with a back strain, and he was a little rusty in his return. He threw 61 of 87 pitches for strikes but gave up four runs in the third inning and a solo home run to Jarred Kelenic in the fourth. Ross now has a 4.98 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 39:18 K:BB through 47 innings over 10 starts this season. He is not guaranteed to stay in the rotation, as the Milwaukee Brewers traded for Frankie Montas and have also gotten good results from Colin Rea and Tobias Myers in Ross's absence.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Confirmed to start Tuesday
Joe Ross (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will start Tuesday's game versus Atlanta, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.Though Ross will slot into the Milwaukee rotation and will make his first start for the big club since May 20, he may be headed to the bullpen once trade-deadline acquisition Frankie Montas officially joins the roster. Ross was torched for 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings in his final two rehab starts at Triple-A Nashville and posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over nine outings with Milwaukee prior to being shelved, so he'll be difficult to trust as a streaming option.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Set to join big club, start Tuesday
The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to activate Joe Ross (back) from the 60-day injured list and have him start Tuesday against Atlanta at American Family Field, MLB.com reports.Even though he was lit up for 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings in his final two rehab outings with Triple-A Nashville, Ross apparently checked out fine physically upon returning to Milwaukee this weekend and completing a bullpen session in front of the coaching and training staffs Saturday. Though Ross looks to be fully stretched out after tossing 80 pitches for Nashville his last time out Wednesday, the Brewers could nonetheless be conservative with his workload against Atlanta, considering he's been on the shelf since May 21 with a low back strain. Moreover, the Brewers have Bryse Wilson and Jakob Junis on hand as multi-inning options out of the bullpen, so the team doesn't have as much of a need for Ross to take on a significant pitch count in his first start with the big club in more than two months.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Struggles again in rehab start
Joe Ross (back) made a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville and gave up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings.Ross tossed 80 pitches (50 strikes) in Wednesday's outing and looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list from a workload standpoint, but it's unclear if the Milwaukee Brewers will turn to him to fill the vacant spot in their rotation. Before landing on the IL on May 21 with a low back strain, Ross turned in unremarkable ratios (4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) over his nine starts, and his recent results at Nashville haven't inspired much confidence. He began a rehab assignment earlier this month and has now made four minor-league starts in total, but he's labored in both of his past two outings, striking out six while allowing 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings. Milwaukee will require a fifth starter again Tuesday versus Atlanta, but Ross' poor form of late could prompt the team to opt for a bullpen game rather than activating the right-hander.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Another rehab start coming Friday
Joe Ross (back) is scheduled to make the third start of his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Ross's upcoming start with Nashville could be his last before he returns from the 60-day injured list. He built up to 3.2 innings and 46 pitches in his latest start with Nashville on Wednesday, so Ross will likely be targeted for around 60-to-75 pitches in his upcoming outing. After designating Dallas Keuchel for assignment Sunday, Milwaukee has an opening in its rotation that would next need to be filled July 24 versus the Cubs. If Friday's rehab start goes well, Ross could be part of the Milwaukee Brewers' plans for the July 24 game as a starter or bulk reliever.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Covers 3.2 innings in rehab start
Joe Ross (back) struck out three over 3.2 scoreless innings in his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville. He scattered two hits and one walk in the 46-pitch start.Ross took the hill on three days' rest for his second minor-league rehab start, after he threw 34 pitches over 2.2 innings in his first rehab outing with High-A Wisconsin this past Saturday. The right-hander recorded his 11 outs in efficient fashion Wednesday and should continue to build up his pitch count over the course of at least two more rehab starts. He could return from the 60-day injured list and return to the Milwaukee rotation shortly after the All-Star break.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Ready for rehab outings
Joe Ross (back) will make a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Saturday.Ross has been sidelined since May 20 and has been ruled out through the All-Star break. It's uncertain how many pitches he'll throw in his first rehab appearance, though it's a clear step forward and an indication he has the chance to rejoin the rotation at some point in July.

Brewers' Joe Ross: Pushed to 60-day injured list
The Milwaukee Brewers transferred Joe Ross (back) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers. Ross' timetable remains unchanged as a result of the move, as he had already been ruled out through the All-Star break. He had been set to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, so the righty seems to be trending in a positive direction.
