The 30-year-old Wahl has previously made 15 appearances in the majors, but none since 2020. He yielded eight earned runs over 4.2 innings out of the Oklahoma City bullpen before getting cut loose.

Brewers' Bobby Wahl: Kicks off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Wahl (oblique) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.
Wahl is finally ready to make his 2021 debut after he was sidelined for the better part of two months with a right oblique strain. Due to the time he missed, Wahl will likely need to make several relief appearances at Biloxi and/or Triple-A Nashville before the Brewers feel comfortable reinstating him from the 60-day injured list. Once activated, Wahl will likely fill a lower-leverage role out of the Milwaukee bullpen.

Brewers' Bobby Wahl: Ticketed for IL
Rotowire
Brewers manager Craig Counsell confirmed Tuesday that Wahl (oblique) will open the season on the injured list, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Wahl was diagnosed with a right oblique strain after exiting his relief appearance Monday against the Padres.

Brewers' Bobby Wahl: Diagnosed with oblique injury
Rotowire
Wahl suffered a right oblique injury during Monday's exhibition against the Padres, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
While Wahl is set to undergo further evaluation before the extent of the injury becomes known, oblique injuries are never a good sign, especially for pitchers. At this point, it seems unlikely that the 28-year-old will be ready for Opening Day.

Brewers' Bobby Wahl: Dealing with side discomfort
Rotowire
Wahl left Monday's game against San Diego with right side discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Wahl's initial diagnosis doesn't sound particularly serious, though it's possible he winds up diagnosed with something worse than discomfort following further tests. Even a slight delay at this stage could potentially threaten Wahl's readiness for Opening Day, though he's unlikely to spend that day on the big-league roster even if healthy, as he's a 28-year-old with just 15.1 major-league innings and a 7.63 ERA on his resume.

Brewers' Bobby Wahl: Grabs spot on Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Wahl will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster.
Wahl was optioned to Triple-A in March, but he fared well in summer camp and was able to grab a spot on the Brewers' expanded roster. Wahl missed all of last season with a torn ACL and owns a 6.92 ERA over 14 big-league appearances, but he was a strikeout machine while pitching in the minors, and could carve out a role in the middle of the Brewers' bullpen if things click.

Brewers' Bobby Wahl: Throwing off mound
Rotowire
Wahl (knee) has been throwing off a mound, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Wahl underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in March, but he's been making solid progress in his recovery. He's already been cleared to throw off a mound, and the next step will be to face live hitters, per Minnaert. It's also worth noting that Wahl has dropped 15-to-20 pounds while on the injured list. If all goes according to plan, there's a chance the right-hander could return to Milwaukee's bullpen before the 2019 campaign comes to a close.
