The Brewers never saw it that way. Hamilton’s career numbers at age 28—a .222/.283/.359 slash line and a 77 wRC+—don't...4339Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:32:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jacob-misiorowski-shines-in-first-opening-day-david-hamilton-runs-wild-in-brewers-debut-r4338/Opening Day did not start out well for the Milwaukee Brewers. Chicago leadoff batter Chase Meidroth worked a full count on Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski and then slammed a 417-foot homer to the second level in left field to give the White Sox an early 1-0 lead. That was one turning point in...4338Thu, 26 Mar 2026 23:59:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/it-took-almost-two-full-innings-for-the-2026-brewers-to-announce-themselves-r4337/Chase Meidroth did his level best to assert the seriousness of the 2026 White Sox's improvement. He took Jacob Misiorowski deep to lead off the game Thursday, putting Chicago ahead 1-0, and Shane Smith pitched out of trouble in the bottom of the first to keep the score that way. Even as that was...4337Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:31:58 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/3-reasons-why-brewers-will-win-the-nl-central%E2%80%94and-3-reasons-they-might-not-r4333/After an offseason of waiting, Opening Day is finally here. The Milwaukee Brewers will host the Chicago White Sox on Thursday at 1:10 p.m. CT at American Family Field, to begin the 2026 season. The Brewers have high expectations, having won the last three NL Central championships, but they...4333Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/yikes-brewers-place-jackson-chourio-on-injured-list-with-broken-hand-r4334/  On the morning of Opening Day, the vibrant joy of the new season has been scumbled by a dark cloud. Jackson Chourio hit the injured list in the hours leading up to the Brewers' season opener, with a fractured hand that's expected to cost him the first month of the campaign. Chou...4334Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:27:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-most-important-brewers-for-2026-ranking-the-roster-from-1-to-26-r4323/It takes the full 26-man roster (and then some) to survive each MLB season. After all, the 162-game schedule isn't the sprint that the NFL has (17 games) or the middle-distance race of the NBA (82 games). No, this is an endurance race that has many ups and downs. The Milwaukee Brewers learn...4323Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:38:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/will-2026-brewers-trust-in-an-inexperienced-rotation-fare-better-than-7-years-ago-r4328/  Coming off a franchise-record win total and an NLCS loss to the Dodgers, the 2019 Brewers turned toward youth in the rotation. That sentence applies again in 2026, too. Back then, it made perfect sense, with a trio of high-upside arms in Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff l...4328Wed, 25 Mar 2026 22:06:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-announce-opening-day-roster-for-2026-season-r4331/As many managers and front-office leaders will say, the Opening Day roster is good for exactly one day. But it is also a significant achievement for players who have never started a season on an MLB roster. The Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday revealed the 26 players who will line up alo...4331Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:20:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-to-expect-from-new-brewers-reliever-jake-woodford-r4329/  The final days of spring training include plenty of roster movement across baseball, as non-roster invitees exercise the opt-out and upward mobility clauses in their minor-league contracts. The Brewers are not strangers to adding some of those newly available players to their roster short...4329Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:15:08 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-acquire-reliever-jake-woodford-from-rays-r4327/The always-tinkering Milwaukee Brewers made a surprising move less than 48 hours before Opening Day, acquiring right-hander Jake Woodford from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for right-hander K.C. Hunt, a prospect, and cash. Woodford is coming off a 2025 in which he made 22 relief appearance...4327Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:08:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/despite-a-slower-spring-training-build-up-brandon-woodruff-makes-brewers-opening-day-rotation-r4326/The Brewers already revealed that Jacob Misiorowski would start on Opening Day.
