Where can I find rosters for the Brewers affiliates - especially Nashville since they begin their season tomorrow?

They have not been released yet.  Nashville’s will likely be released in the morning and the rest of the full-season affiliate rosters will be released somewhere between April 2-4.  It depends on the year, but the Brewers roster wasn’t even announced officially until three hours before today’s game.

Thank you! 
 

I just realized that I can attend two Biloxi Shuckers games in early May (@ Pensacola) while on vacation in Orange Beach AL. The stadium is only 26 miles from my condo.

Staying current with recent Brewers roster manipulations:

- RHP Chad Patrick was recalled by the Milwaukee Brewers from the Nashville Sounds

- 1B/OF Jake Bauers' contract was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers

- OF Brewer Hicklen was DFA'd to the Nashville Sounds by the Milwaukee Brewers 

- LHP Jose Quintana was optioned to the ACL Brewers (ramp up) by the Milwaukee Brewers

Lots of procedural and assignment/option moves on the official Opening Day of the Brewers 2025 ML Season:

(I'm too lazy to type out each of these individually and I have farm work to accomplish so I will give you a Screenshot. Apologies in advance)

@Spencer Michaelis pointed out on Twitter that Tyler Black’s MLB.com page has him being sent to Biloxi from Nashville.

New 27-year-old LH-hitting catcher Ty Duvall -

Baseball Reference

MiLB Player page

He'll be loving Nashville, since he's a Vanderbilt product.

Drafted in the 25th round by Oakland in 2019, did not sign (returned to Vandy).

Signed in July 2020 (pandemic season) with Seattle.

The Mariners released him two weeks ago on March 14th.

He has topped out at High-A only, missing all but five games in 2024. As his linked pages above show, his gameday experience is limited (135 games since his 2021 debut).

Got married in December (congrats!)

God bless 2024 Sounds Brewer Hicklen. He gave us many many a good moment and, ultimately, earned a 40-Man spot. May he find success in Detroit!

- OF Garrett Spain was assigned to the Biloxi Shuckers from the Nashville Sounds

- RHP Zach Peek was assigned to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers from the Nashville Sounds

- INF/OF Casey Martin was (officially and procedurally) activated by the Biloxi Shuckers

BUMP:

- OF Garrett Spain was assigned to the Nashville Sounds after OF Brewer Hicklen was traded to Detroit for cash considerations. I would add Spain more than acquitted himself in his first Triple-A game as a Brewer.

- RHP Luis Aguayo has apparently been placed on the Restricted List by the DSL Brewers #2

No longer, guessing that was a VISA-related issue.

Here's earlier links we posted on him:

Bummer. He truly had unhittable stuff - because he was on and batters couldn’t hit it, or he was off and no batter needed to try.  BB/9 of between 5-8 is not great. Plus he had 30 HBP and 36 WP in 157 IP. That’s basically either a HBP or WP every 2-3 IP.

If you want to be optimistic, at least it isn’t the shoulder again.
