That goes back to last season, when Contreras started each of the Brewers' first 58 games alongside Willy Adames, 47 of which came at the catcher position. Despite the wear and tear from the posi...3341Thu, 08 May 2025 11:54:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/meet-the-new-brandon-woodruff%E2%80%94coming-soon-to-a-big-league-mound-near-you-r3339/It has been quite some time since we’ve seen Brandon Woodruff toe the slab in the majors. His last outing for the big-league squad was on Sept. 23, 2023, when he pitched five innings against the Marlins to cap an astounding (although already injury-shortened) season. Just two weeks before that,...3339Wed, 07 May 2025 16:19:24 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-breakout-last-season-jared-koenigs-atypical-dominance-continues-for-2025-brewers-bullpen-r3338/Jared Koenig was a breakout contributor in last year's Brewers bullpen, authoring a 2.47 ERA, 3.28 FIP, and 88 DRA- in 62 innings, while ascending to a high-leverage role by season's end. It was fair to wonder, though, whether that success would carry into his second full big-league season....3338Wed, 07 May 2025 11:48:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/could-milwaukee-brewers-leverage-their-starting-pitching-depth-to-swing-a-big-trade-r3336/The left side of the Brewers infield has been horrible to start 2025. Joey Ortiz has changed his leg kick, with disastrous results. Vinny Capra won't be long for the major-league roster, and might already be gone, but that Oliver Dunn has been optioned and hasn't even inspired confidence with hi...3336Tue, 06 May 2025 22:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-hitter-of-the-month-april-2025-r3334/Honorable Mentions William Contreras 90 AB, .278/.394/.400, 25 H, 2 2B, 3 HR, 18 RBI, 4 SB Contreras has gotten off to a slow start—especially compared to the torrid pace he set in the first month of last year—but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been productive. His .794 OPS in April was the f...3334Tue, 06 May 2025 13:04:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/his-power-utterly-missing-william-contreras-has-gone-searching-for-it-r3332/There have been bigger problems further down the lineup card, but the player who has most severely underachieved this season for the Milwaukee Brewers is William Contreras—and it's not all that close. Contreras is controlling the strike zone tolerably well, and therefore, he's running a .361 OBP...3332Tue, 06 May 2025 11:18:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/3-keys-for-brewers-to-take-down-houston-astros-r3329/The last couple of weeks have erased much of the positive momentum Milwaukee had built amid this uneven start to the season. A missed opportunity to sweep the White Sox gave way to two dispiriting losses to start a home series against the Cubs—at home, no less. But then came a reminder that...3329Mon, 05 May 2025 17:11:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/will-pat-murphys-exacting-managerial-style-have-its-intended-effect-on-milwaukee-brewers-r3331/Pat Murphy has been treating every game like it's the postseason, even though the calendar just flipped to May. He's removed players mid-game for disciplinary and tactical reasons, used quick hooks for his starters, and been aggressive with his top bullpen arms. Last week, he pulled Tobias Myers...3331Mon, 05 May 2025 15:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-seeing-glimpses-of-brilliance-in-inconsistent-first-stint-brewers-send-craig-yoho-to-regroup-in-minors-r3325/Less than two weeks after a highly anticipated big-league debut, Craig Yoho is returning to Nashville. The Brewers optioned the changeup specialist to Triple-A on Saturday and recalled right-hander Elvin Rodríguez. It was a shorter first stay than anyone hoped. The Brewers needed a fresh ar...3325Mon, 05 May 2025 14:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/does-the-brewers-poor-road-start-portend-a-lost-season-r3324/Okay, let’s face it. The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t been very good in games in enemy territory over the first month of this season. In fact, they have been downright pathetic. But, there is good news. Historical precedent tells us that the Brewers have a 33% chance of making the playoffs thi...3324Mon, 05 May 2025 11:53:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-week-in-review-middling-stretch-continues-r3328/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 3-3 (Overall: 17-18) Run Scored Last Week: 19 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 30 Standing: 3rd in NL Central (4.5 GB) *** Game 19 (4/29) | MIL 7, CHW 2 Game 20 (4/30) | MIL 6, CHW 4 Game 21 (5/1) | CHW 8, MIL 0 Game 22 (5/2) | CHC 10, MIL 0 G...3328Mon, 05 May 2025 00:21:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewer-fanatics-pitcher-of-the-month-marchapril-2025-r3321/Honorable Mentions Grant Anderson 14 ⅓ IP, 1.88 ERA, 12 H, 3 ER, 7 BB, 15 K Anderson is one of the bullpen arms to keep an eye on this year.
