After limping to a .185/.254/.250 line (45 wRC+) with just two home runs through June 14, the Brewers shortstop has since hit .290/.323/.500 (130 wRC+) with four homers in his last 65 plate appearances....3566Mon, 07 Jul 2025 23:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/rhys-hoskins-is-a-huge-loss-for-brewers-who-now-have-to-test-andrew-vaughns-staying-power-r3565/Rhys Hoskins has a Grade 2 sprain of his left thumb, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Sunday afternoon. That will land him on the injured list, and it's likely he'll be out past the All-Star break. The Brewers are calling up Andrew Vaughn to take Hoskins's place on the rost...3565Mon, 07 Jul 2025 16:26:52 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/re-tooled-brandon-woodruff-showed-his-stuff-in-long-awaited-return-r3563/Brandon Woodruff's first big-league start in 652 days could not have gone much better. In his long-awaited return from shoulder surgery, the longest-tenured Brewer tossed six innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and striking out eight. Without context, that line could've passed f...3563Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:06:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trevor-megill-has-been-excellent-for-brewers-except-in-one-key-area-r3554/Outside of a shaky first month, it has been another solid year for Trevor Megill. Now the Brewers’ undisputed closer, he has a 2.64 ERA with 19 saves, on pace to comfortably surpass what he accomplished last year. There’s plenty to be happy about, especially for a player costing the team less th...3554Mon, 07 Jul 2025 11:50:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-week-in-review-woodys-back-r3561/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 3-3 (Overall: 50-40) Run Scored Last Week: 27 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 23 Standing: 2nd in NL Central (3.5 GB 1st place CHC) *** Game 86 (7/2) | MIL 7, NYM 2 Game 87 (7/2) | NYM 7, MIL 3 Game 88 (7/3) | NYM 3, MIL 2 Game 89 (7/4) | MIL 6...3561Sun, 06 Jul 2025 22:40:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/freddy-peralta-makes-national-league-all-star-team-will-be-brewers-lone-representative-r3562/On Sunday, ESPN announced the rosters for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, set to take place at Truist Park in the suburbs of Atlanta. Freddy Peralta will make his second trip to the Midsummer Classic as the Brewers’ lone representative—at least for now. It’s an unsurprising revelation.

At the time, in the wake not only of his injury but of the Brewers' unceremonious dismissal from the postseason at the hands of the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks, I wrote about what felt like...3559Sun, 06 Jul 2025 13:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/aaron-ashby-back-in-a-high-leverage-long-relief-role-can-boost-brewers-bullpen-r3553/When the Brewers activated Aaron Ashby from the injured list in late May, Pat Murphy said the club planned to use him and DL Hall as “leverage long relievers.” The pair could alternate pitching multiple innings in meaningful situations, sometimes as a bridge between a short start and the back en...3553Sun, 06 Jul 2025 11:52:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/exploring-milwaukee-brewers-weaknesses-ahead-of-mlb-trade-deadline-first-base-r3544/Heading into June, the Brewers had a great duo at first base. Rhys Hoskins was seemingly back to his old self, holding an .849 OPS on the first day of the month, while Jake Bauers had an OPS of .814 as an understudy. However, despite Milwaukee having an outstanding month of June as a team, their...3544Fri, 04 Jul 2025 11:34:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/one-way-milwaukee-brewers-could-manage-jacob-misiorowskis-workload-with-minimal-impact-r3546/Jacob Misiorowski's workload is becoming increasingly concerning, given what he's been able to get through in previous seasons. As a general rule of thumb, teams don't like their pitchers to throw half again as many innings in one season as in the previous one, especially if the hurler in questi...3546Thu, 03 Jul 2025 22:04:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/exploring-brewers-weaknesses-ahead-of-2025-mlb-trade-deadline-shortstop-and-third-base-r3547/The left side of the Brewers infield was their greatest offensive weakness over the first two months of the season. Third baseman Caleb Durbin and shortstop Joey Ortiz were both well below the league average in pretty much every major statistical category. Ortiz (.489) had the worst OPS in the m...3547Thu, 03 Jul 2025 16:03:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/with-superb-farm-system-and-playoff-caliber-roster-brewers-should-go-big-or-stay-home-at-mlb-trade-deadline-r3549/This week, MLB Pipeline dropped a midseason update to their top 100 prospects list. It offered a glowing take on the Brewers' farm system, which continues to mature into one of the game's very best. The July update from Baseball America is even rosier. The Brewers have, by consensus, six top-100...3549Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:47:54 +0000
