Which former Brewers player (or farmhand) would you most like back for the stretch run?

I saw this question posed on X and I thought it made for good discussion and also a fun little trip down memory lane in some cases.

Which current player around the league, who at one time played for the Brewers or was in the Brewers farm system, would you most like back on this year's team for the stretch run? You are getting the player as is - so you can't take prime Corbin Burnes or prime Devin Williams ... you are getting them in their July 2026 form.

I have thought this through a bit and in my opinion I have 4 guys who I could argue to be the answer and then a handful of other guys who are fun to think about or who are having nice seasons .. but unless I am missing someone I think a case could be made for 4 different individuals that would help us out the most.

I'll be interested to hear who you all come up with.

Not sure if you have the same four that I’m thinking of but I’m seeing a clear four. Drew Rasmussen, Josh Hader, Tristan Peters, and Mauricio Dubon. I think of those four I’d narrow it down to the two pitchers. I think Peters and Dubon are solid but I don’t buy Peters offense being as good as it’s been which makes both of them more glove first utility types and I think we are fine there.

It comes down to a SP and RP. Hader would be awesome because I don’t trust Ashby as the top LHP in the bullpen but I think I’m going to go with Rasmussen. Think he would just really complete the rotation for us and I’d trust him starting playoff games as our #2 SP.
