Ugh. No 😩 I knew about Flores. But was hoping Rudy would be healthy and hoping Griffin Tobias was not serious but I’m guessing he had a serious elbow injury at the end of last year? I don’t recall hearing or seeing anything on him but may have missed it. And Corniel, Smith and Timber a still being out stinks.

 I will be honest, if this is all (just one full season), I will be a bit relieved. I am leery, though, that there may be more coming given that the number of placements (10) corresponds exactly to the difference between the offseason and in-season roster limits.

The trade thread (RHP Jake Woodford from Tampa Bay for RHP KC Hunt) is located on the Major League Forum here.

Feel free to comment at that thread even if your comment is more focused on the 25-year-old Hunt.

- RHP Miles Langhorne released by High-A Wisconsin
- RHP Aldrin Gonzalez released by ACL Brewers

Langhorne from Connecticut was signed as a non-drafted free agent out of UNC Charlotte in July 2024. He debuted with Low-A Carolina in April 2025, posting a 3.33 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 10.4 K/9 in 24.1 IP there before progressing to Wisconsin in June. Walks were a problem in High-A ball (14 BB in 14 IP), where he had an 8.36 ERA and 2.21 WHIP. Still just 22 years old and fresh off of pitching for Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic (0.2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 K), we wish Miles success in his next opportunity.

Now 19, Gonzalez was signed out of Venezuela in January 2023, rumored to already throw 95mph at signing. An immediate injury delayed his debut until July 2024 with DSL Brewers-2, posting a 4.85 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 in 13.0 innings that season. In 2025, he made 2 DSL starts (5.2 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 HBP, 8 Ks) before making 6 relief appearances in the Arizona Complex League (18.41 ERA, 3.00 WHIP in 7.1 IP). Good luck to Aldrin in his next career and life adventure.

dang Langhorne, I really had hopes for him as a possible  reliever prospect, alas...

And Gonzalez - injuries in your teen years is so much more difficult to come back from, good luck Aldrin.

As @ARobsBrewCrew informed us in January:

"RHP Jack Hostetler made some throws today for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last summer. He should be on track to return to game action late in the 2026 season, but, of course, that timeline is very fluid at this point."

[Jim Goulart]

With Jeferson Quero up to MKE (Andrew Vaughn hand injury), for now it seems 3rd catcher Andrick Nava, at age 24 a year older than Quero, will be the #2 backstop behind Ramon Rodriguez.

Even so, it appears the roster still shows 29 (17 pitchers), one over the limit.

Mystery solved.
