Joe Ross Signs $1.75M Deal with Brewers Following Tommy John Surgery

The former Nationals right-hander returns to major league after a hiatus since August 2021.

Joe Ross, a former Washington Nationals right-hander, has finalized a $1.75 million, one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Ross, 30, hasn't pitched in a major league game since August 2021 and has recently returned from his second Tommy John surgery.
He had his second Tommy John surgery on June 10, 2022, and also had the same surgery on July 19, 2017.
Ross has a career record of 26-28 with a 4.26 ERA in 76 starts and 22 relief appearances, striking out 403 and walking 141 in 443 1/3 innings.
It's unclear whether the Brewers view Ross primarily as a candidate for the starting rotation, the bullpen, or some combination of both.
