The Milwaukee Brewers had to submit their Wild Card Round roster by 10:00 this morning, hours before Game 1. There were certainly a lot of questions, but now we have answers. 

Pitchers (11)
Starters: Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, Wade Miley.
Bullpen: Trevor Megill, Hoby Milner, Joel Payamps, Elvis Peguero, Colin Rea, Abner Uribe, Devin Williams, Bryse Wilson.

Position Players (15)
Infielders: Willy Adames, Josh Donaldson, Owen Miller, Andruw Monasterio, Carlos Santana, Brice Turang
Outfielders: Mark Canha, Sal Frelick, Blake Perkins, Tyrone Taylor, Joey Wiemer, Jesse Winker, Christian Yelich.
Catchers: Victor Caratini, William Contreras. 

Obviously the news that came out on Monday, that Brandon Woodruff would not be available for the Wild Card round is disappointing, but the Brewers do have some pitching depth. 

Owen Miller is back after spending much of the second half in Nashville. Joey Wiemer is also on the roster for this round. Garrett Mitchell was not added this round, but should the team continue beyond the Wild Card, he certainly could be in play. 

Maybe a surprise to some, but Jesse Winker made the roster while Rowdy Tellez did not for this round. Is that the right call? 

What are your thoughts on the Brewers roster?

Surprised Mitchell did not make the roster.  Very glad Chafin didn't.
