Instead, Weeks’s responsibilities as Pat Murphy’s right-hand man will be redistributed among the rest of the coaching staff. That's because Murphy...4210Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:34:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/rotation-bullpen-or-nashville-analytically-breaking-down-chad-patricks-arsenal-r4204/He wasn’t quite as flashy as his 6-foot-7 fellow rookie, but don’t get it twisted: Chad Patrick played a significant role in Milwaukee’s success in 2025. He posted a 3.53 FIP (the best figure of anyone on the Brewers with more than 80 innings pitched) and accumulated 2.6 fWAR, second only to Fre...4204Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:30:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-slow-playing-brandon-woodruff-affects-brewers-starting-rotation-r4207/Unless you are all about sentimentality, the move makes perfect sense. Brandon Woodruff might not be available to start Opening Day for the Milwaukee Brewers, as the right-hander takes his time ramping up this spring following a strained right lat that prematurely brought his feel-good comeback...4207Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:48:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/knowing-outs-will-be-there-when-hes-ready-brewers-are-taking-things-slow-with-brandon-woodruff-r4208/Given his recent injury history, Brandon Woodruff and the Brewers are taking things slow this spring. Woodruff, whose comeback from career-threatening shoulder surgery was truncated by a season-ending lat injury last September, is building up more gradually than most of Milwaukee's starters, to...4208Tue, 24 Feb 2026 14:22:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-2026-bullpen-r4199/When the Brewers held a lead after six innings in 2025, it was almost certain they would come out the winners at the end of the game. The bullpen remains a strength in 2026, especially since, in a way, it feeds off the rotation depth that the Milwaukee organization has built. More than one start...4199Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:05:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/spring-temperature-check-whos-hot-and-whos-cold-in-brewers-camp-feb-21-22-r4203/Every fan wants to make judgments on the athletes who play for their team based on what they see in action. For MLB spring training, it is a bit more complicated. Starting players, whether position players or pitchers, ease into their springs, playing minimal innings to begin and ramping up...4203Mon, 23 Feb 2026 21:41:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/will-luis-rengifo-be-matt-ericksons-next-success-story-r4196/Editor's Note: This piece was originally an exclusive for Brewer Fanatic Caretakers.

It got so bad that the team dealt minor-league phenom Yophery Rodriguez, a competitive balance A pick, and John Holobetz to Boston for Quinn Priester. By the end of 2025, the rotation wa...4198Sun, 22 Feb 2026 16:15:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-signing-a-new-contract-lucky-pat-murphy-ready-to-continue-his-journey-with-the-brewers-r4195/There was little question that Pat Murphy remained the best fit to manage the Brewers beyond 2026, but it's now official. Instead of managing this season as a lame duck, Murphy and the Brewers signed a new three-year contract with a club option for 2029. "I feel lucky. I feel fortunate," Mu...4195Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:54:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-2026-designated-hitter-r4197/Designated hitter has long been handled in one of two ways by the Brewers: Either it’s been filled by one-year deals for a “primary” DH (Andrew McCutchen, Jesse Winker, and Gary Sanchez being recent examples) or it was handled “by committee” (multiple players with over 25 starts as the DH).

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Nashville is not a realistic option, as in, ‘he’s too good to send down.’ Where will he fit i...4168Sat, 21 Feb 2026 12:50:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/a-stronger-more-mature-shane-drohan-is-ready-to-make-an-impact-with-the-brewers-r4190/In camp with the Brewers after they acquired him as part of a six-player trade with the Boston Red Sox, Shane Drohan brings a familiar objective to his new surroundings. "I want to pitch in the big leagues," he said. "It's always been the goal." That goal, Drohan admitted, was pushed t...4190Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:47:02 +0000
