Smith is about halfway through his mound progression as he continues to rehab from surgery. It’s still unknown when he will return to game action, but the towering lefty is holding out hope that he will make an appearance with an affiliate before the end of the season.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t any improvement the past couple of weeks and so the organization opted to shut the southpaw down for now. At this point, it doesn’t appear that Martinez will return to the mound in 2026, but the belief is that he will not require surgery.

SS Diego Frontado is dealing with a minor groin strain and is expected to return to the field next weekend.

3B Juan Martinez is being promoted to Single-A Wilson and will be joining the team tomorrow.

Both have progressed slower than originally hoped. I’m working on getting more specific info that I can share with you.

It is his hamstring again. Don’t know the path forward yet outside of the fact that the hope is to avoid an IL stint, of course. If it persists, however, it could be necessary to let it fully heal.

The decision has been made that Tobias will require Tommy John surgery. The right-hander will look to return to the mound sometime late in the second half of 2027.

Our old friend, longtime Brewers farmhand RHP Harold Chirino has been terribly impacted by the recent earthquakes in Venezuela. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. For those that are able, donations are being accepted for his wife’s funeral expenses as well as his son’s medical bills. Information on how to donate can be found on his Instagram page.

I will check in on Tobias and find out what the situation is. As for Chavez, here is my update from May in the transaction thread: ”C Isaís Chavez was slated to make his stateside debut in 2026, but he was placed on the restricted list just before the start of the ACL campaign. For some added context, it is not a visa issue for Chavez, and the hope is that he will still be able to take the field at some point this season.” As for Colmenarez, he was released late in the ‘25 season. For whatever reason, this transaction has not showed up on his MiLB/MLB pages.

The young southpaw’s pro debut has been moved up a day, now set for Thursday, July 2nd.

Hamstring injury that shouldn’t (hopefully) even require an IL stint, so no they won’t shelve him.

Cairone has been tentatively scheduled to make his professional debut on July 3rd for the ACL Brewers.

Nothing serious, just the organization being cautious with some soreness. The hope is for Martinez to be back on the mound within two weeks.

OF Alexander Frías is being promoted to A Wilson. No one else is being promoted at this time, but Juan Martinez shouldn’t be too far behind.

Dinges is in the midst of his throwing program and has been taking things slowly. He was throwing from 90 feet, 35 throws at high intensity today and feels great. According to the man himself, he expects to be back behind the plate in the near future.
