Civale suffered a setback in his recovery from a left hamstring strain this week, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Civale has been on the IL since the end of March due to his hamstring, and there's currently no telling how much of an effect his setback will have on his recovery timeline. He'll presumably undergo imaging to determine the extent of the damage, and the team will determine his next steps once the results come back.

Rotowire
Civale (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
If that goes well, he will throw off the mound again April 8. It seems likely that the Brewers will want Civale to make at least one rehab start, and the team is tentatively projecting a return in late April for the veteran right-hander.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Playing catch
Rotowire
Civale (hamstring) played catch Tuesday, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
It's still unclear if Civale will be able to rejoin the active roster when eligible to return from the 15-day injured list April 15, but the fact he's already resumed throwing a day after being diagnosed with a hamstring strain is an encouraging sign for a Brewers squad that's thin on rotation options. A return timeline may begin to emerge once the 29-year-old is cleared for mound work.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Going on IL with strained hamstring
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Civale on the 15-day injured list Monday with a strained left hamstring, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Civale was pulled from Sunday's start against the Yankees after three innings due to what the team referred to as a hamstring cramp, but evidently testing revealed a strain. He will be eligible to return in mid-April but it's uncertain whether he'll be ready to return at that time. The Brewers are dealing with numerous pitching injuries and it's unclear who might take Civale's spot in the rotation.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Managing hamstring issue
Rotowire
Civale departed Sunday's start against the Yankees after three innings due to left hamstring cramping, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It wasn't immediately apparent that the right-hander suffered an injury, since the five runs, including three homers, he allowed seemed like enough to end his afternoon. The injury doesn't sound like a serious issue, but his status for the next turn through the rotation should receive some clarity in the next couple days. The Brewers can ill afford to lose another starter with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) and Tobias Myers (oblique) on the IL while Jose Quintana is still ramping up in the minors.
Civale gave up two earned runs over 3.0 innings in Sunday's spring game. He allowed two hits, struck out one batter and walked none.
Civale made his first appearance since his Feb. 27 spring debut and tossed 48 pitches -- seven more than he put up his previous time out. Civale and the Brewers agreed to an $8 million salary for 2025, which puts him on track to break camp with a spot in the big-league rotation.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Blanks Pirates for eighth win
Rotowire
Civale (8-9) earned the win Thursday over the Pirates, allowing three hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
It was a strong finish to the regular season for Civale, who went 6-1 with a 2.57 ERA over his final nine starts (49 innings). Overall, the right-hander posted a 4.36 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 149:52 K:BB across a career-high 161 innings. Civale should continue to serve as Milwaukee's number-two starter behind Freddy Peralta when they open postseason play.
Brewers' Aaron Civale: Goes just 4.1 innings in loss
Rotowire
Civale (7-9) took the loss against Arizona on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.
Civale struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 51 of 91 pitches for strikes and issuing three free passes. He also got dinged for a pair of home runs, which accounted for all three runs against him. It was the first time the right-hander has given up multiple homers in a game since July 21, and Saturday's outing was the first time he has failed to complete five frames since Aug. 23. Civale had been pitching well coming into the contest, posting a 2.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 22.1 innings across his previous four starts.
