The injury happened as he was fielding a bunt in the bottom of the second inning in a 12-5 road victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The promising 6-foot-2, 203-pounder was off to a tough start since his acquisition from the Baltimore Orioles. He was part of a controversial, highly-publicized offseason trade for former NL Cy Young Award winner <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/02\/01\/corbin-burnes-traded-orioles\/\" target=\"_self\">Corbin Burnes<\/a>. Hall was 0-1 with a 7.71 earned run average in four starts this season. He allowed 14 earned runs on 27 hits with 13 strikeouts and 10 walks through 16 1\/3 innings of work.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the frustrating April setback, Hall had utilized a four-seam fastball, changeup, curveball, and slider ranging in speed from 83.3 to 92.3 MPH, according to Baseball Savant. His eventual return to the Brewers&#8217; starting rotation would bring a much-needed boost to the team&#8217;s starting pitching depth. He would potentially rejoin the likes of newly anointed ace Freddy Peralta, Colin Rea, Joe Ross, Bryse Wilson, and Robert Gasser.<\/p>\n<p>The National League Central-leading Brewers, 27-19 overall, are currently 10th in the NL and 17th in Major League Baseball in team pitching with a 4.07 ERA through 407 innings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hall was on \ud83d\udd25 today. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/tratnation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#tratnation<\/a> x <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/thisismycrew?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#thisismycrew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zLvkQ7PnRo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/zLvkQ7PnRo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (@TimberRattlers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimberRattlers\/status\/1792309647837180176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Injured Brewers Pitcher Staying Positive About Progress<\/h3>\n<p>The former 2017 first-round draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles is taking a positive, gradual approach to the rehab assignment. &#8220;I&#8217;m making some big strides forward,&#8221; said an upbeat Hall in a postgame interview following the appearance. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t exactly perfect or where I want to be yet as an end result. That&#8217;s why I have a few more weeks on this rehab assignment to keep building. Today was a huge step in the right direction. I&#8217;m feeling super good and stable on my leg so now just want to keep building off of it. I&#8217;ve always thrown really hard so being able to consistently top out in the mid-90s remains a point of emphasis. The multiple 95&#8217;s was the best I&#8217;ve had all season so hopefully it just keeps picking up in the weeks to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hear what <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Brewers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Brewers<\/a> player DL Hall had to say about his rehab with the Timber Rattlers \ud83c\udfa4<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/tratnation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#tratnation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BICwxX7bAP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/BICwxX7bAP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (@TimberRattlers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimberRattlers\/status\/1792288385819709628?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>With the injury coming to Hall&#8217;s push-off knee, attempting to restore his velocity has been a slow, steady process. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always been a super big leg driver,&#8221; added Hall, who has struggled with his left knee since 2021 but continued to play through it until tweaking it again this year. &#8220;It&#8217;s where my velocity came from and has taken stress off my throwing arm. Having a super stable and strong lower body has been important. To add that missing link will be a key to my development. Now it&#8217;s all about continuing to build strength.
