  1. High-A Wisconsin host Dodgers’ affiliate Great Lakes this week, with solid RHP Braylon Owens (3.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 11.9 K/9 in 45.1 IP) battling LA’s #12 prospect LHP Zach Root (40th overall draft pick in 2025) tonight. 3B Andrew Fischer has a 10-game hitting streak and has homered in 4 of his last 6 games.
  2. - RHP Brandon Woodruff sent on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers
  3. - LHP Joey Broughton promoted to Low-A Wilson from ACL Brewers - RHP Bryce Schaum promoted to Low-A Wilson from ACL Brewers
  4. Gotta love how 7-0 deficits are nothing to worry about in the DSL. Gold have scored 12 unanswered behind homers from Matthew Moses (grand slam), Angeni Fernandez (1st career HR), Osiris Ramirez (3rd HR this year) and Jefer Lista to lead 12-7 through 4 innings. 19-year old RHP Derlin Garcia pitched 5 innings in his last outing, so may close this game out by pitching the 3rd through the 7th innings (only scheduled to play 7 IP).
  5. RHP Wandy Cabrera assigned to DSL Brewers Gold from DSL Brewers Blue RHP Carlos Canales assigned to DSL Brewers Gold from DSL Brewers Blue This reverses the moves from 3 days ago.
  6. For the week, Wilson (5-1) and Wisconsin (3-2) were series winners, while Nashville (3-3) and Biloxi (3-3) came up with draws. Transaction: OF Greg Jones activated from AAA Nashville’s 7-day injured list Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 3, Jacksonville (Marlins) 1 Box Score Via a Sounds’ press release, game details: Sounds Steal Series Finale to Earn Split Nashville’s committee pitching approach paid off as six pitchers combined to stifle the Jumbo Shrimp, with starting RHP Easton McGee leading the way with just 37 pitches thrown over 3 innings (0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks). 22-year old DH Luke Adams (1-for-3, HR, walk, RBI, SB) hasn’t shown any rustiness since being sidelined for over six weeks with a wrist injury, smacking his 3rd homer in his last 4 games after hitting 3 homers in a rehab stint in Arizona. As the linked game report noted, SS Cooper Pratt (1-for-3, walk, 2 SBs) singled and scored on a double steal to grab the late lead, before 3B Eddys Leonard (1-for-3, HR, RBI) snapped a recent hitting drought for more breathing room. LHP Mark Manfredi Sr. (2 IP, 1 R, 3 Ks), RHP Will Childers (2.87 ERA) and RHP Jacob Waguespack (1.66 ERA) stranded 8 batters over 4 innings of busy relief work. RHPs Reiss Knehr (1.83 ERA) and Kaleb Bowman sailed through their frames a little more easily, with Bowman benefitting from OF Greg Jones’ game-ending assist to earn his first Save of 2026. Sounds’ Extras: Though he was batting 9th, 2B Freddy Zamora still led the team with 2 hits. He’s 8-for-20 with 8 RBIs over his last 6 games. The hard-won victory keeps the Sounds just a half-game behind first place Rochester in the 20-team International League. OF Luis Lara rested for a 5th consecutive game, but he’s not been placed on any injured list, so hopefully he’ll return to action in the coming week. Next week’s outlook: Nashville (38-25) hosts Rays’ affiliate Durham (24-39) this week for 6 games, with RHP Tyson Hardin (1.61 ERA in 22 1/3 AAA IP) most likely to start the series opener on Tuesday. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Game One Final: Montgomery (Rays) 2, Biloxi 0 (in 11 innings) Box Score Game Two Final: Montgomery 4, Biloxi 1 (in 7 innings) Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: DeBerry and Letson Dominate in Shuckers Losses Biloxi came up short in both contests despite having 2-on, nobody out in the bottom of the 6th inning of a then-scoreless Game One, then leading 1-0 entering the 7th inning of Game Two. To potentially make matters worse, SS Jesus Made exited the second game after a slight collision in the field, though a Forum viewer didn’t think it was anything serious: “He walked off easily on his own, and likely precautionary due to the DH. He looked ok but probably a little sore on his leg. Fingers crossed here.” Inheriting RHP Jaron DeBerry’s 6 innings of shutout work from Saturday’s suspended game, RHP Edwin Jimenez (3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 0 Ks) and LHP Jesus Broca continued that stellar effort with 4 scoreless innings of their own to keep the first contest 0-0 through 10 innings. Broca ultimately took the hard-luck loss by conceding a 2-run homer in the top of the 11th inning. C Matt Wood reached 3rd base with one out in the 6th inning of the first game and OF Dasan Brown did as well as the Manfred Man in the bottom of the 10th inning, but neither were brought home safely. The team produced just 3 hits in that game (DH Darrien Miller 2-for-5, double), while going 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and stranding 12 baserunners. In the nightcap battle for first place in the Southern League’s South Division, starting 21-year old RHP Bishop Letson’s best outing (6 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 8 Ks) of 2026 went for naught as the bullpen couldn’t hold a slim 1-0 lead and offense went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. In that second game, back-to-back singles by Wood and Made to open the contest produced no runs, and the team was also unable to cash in on 1-out hits in the 4th and 6th innings. However, the crushing blow was the ground ball triple play off the bat of OF Mark Coley II which negated the team’s comeback attempt in the bottom of the 7th inning while trailing 3-1. Shuckers’ Extras: Wood (2-for-6, 3 walks) and Coley (2-for-6, double, RBI) were productive across the two games, while RHP Nick Merkel delivered one scoreless relief inning in the second contest. Sparkplug 2B Dylan O’Rae wasn’t in the starting lineup of either game, but he did deliver a pinch-bunt in the 10th inning of Game One and play one inning of defense. For the second time in 4 days, Montgomery’s manager was tossed in the second game of a doubleheader, this time arguing over whether a foul ball was actually a hit-by-pitch. Next week’s outlook: Biloxi (28-26) travels to Birmingham (21-35) for a 7-game series against the White Sox affiliate. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Rain Out: Wisconsin at Cedar Rapids Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, rain out details: Sunday Rainout in Cedar Rapids Even in a canceled game (which will not be made up), the linked game report has us covered with the essentials, including video to prove that DH Marco Dinges did smack a homer even if it’s now been erased from statistical memory. Starting RHP Travis Smith did manage to throw 39 pitches (1 1/3 IP, 4 R (3 ER), 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K) before the rains pressed delete on his outing. He’ll be glad for a do-over and produce a better result next time out, no doubt. SS Luis Pena also won’t mind his error being erased, while 2B Daniel Dickinson can forget his caught stealing. Next week’s outlook: Wisconsin (29-24) returns home to battle Dodgers’ affiliate Great Lakes (33-22) for 6 games, commencing on Tuesday. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 11, Salem (Red Sox) 9 Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Wilson Victorious Over Salem in Slugfest Conceding 3 unearned runs in the 1st inning and a grand slam in the 8th inning isn’t usually a recipe for success, but Wilson batters put up 11 runs in between to keep their hot streak going. First inning blunders by both teams helped produce a 3-2 advantage for Salem, as the inning included 2 errors, an everybody’s safe fielders’ choice, a strikeout-reached-via-passed-ball which also scored a run, a run-scoring wild pitch and a run-scoring balk. Four doubles from 1B Luis Lameda (2-for-3, walk, HBP, 2 RBIs) and DH Jadyn Fielder (2-for-4, HBP, RBI) spread across the first, second, fifth and sixth innings helped Wilson keep pace and ultimately grab a 9-5 lead through six frames. After starting RHP Jayden Dubanewicz exited after 50 pitches (2 IP, 3 R (0 ER), 1 H, 2 BB, 4 Ks) and RHP Enniel Cortez (2 2/3, 2 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks) conceded a game-tying triple in the 5th inning, RHP Ismael Yanez (1 1/3 IP, 0 R, 1 K) did well to strand the inherited runner and then work around a 2-on, nobody out threat in the 6th inning. OF Pedro Ibarguen (2-for-4, HR, HBP, 3 RBIs) looked to have delivered the decisive blow via a 2-run homer for an 11-5 lead in the 7th inning, but a grand slam off RHP Eric Prado (1 1/3 IP, 4 R (3 ER), 2 Ks) forced the entry of RHP Jose Meneses (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 2 Ks), who retired all 5 batters faced for his 4th Save. Warbirds’ Extras: SS Brady Ebel (3-for-5, RBI) and OF Handelfry Encarnacion (1-for-3, 2 walks) each reached base 3 times, as the Warbirds out-hit Salem 12-to-9 and had ample opportunities to score (6-for-19 with runners in scoring position). The teams combined for 6 errors, 6 unearned runs, a passed ball, wild pitch and a balk. However, the 4 hit-by-pitches were all delivered by Salem pitchers. Next week’s outlook: Wilson (31-26) travels to Lynchburg, Virginia for six games against Guardians’ affiliate Hill City (27-30), starting on Tuesday. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Monday, our Dominican Summer League clubs commence play at 10:00am CST (Brewers Blue at Red Sox Red; Braves at Brewers Gold), while the ACL Brewers host the ACL Dodgers at 8:00pm CST. The Milwaukee Brewers also begin their series at the Athletics (in Las Vegas) at 9:05pm CST.

  8. Jesus Made just exited in the 3rd inning of Game 2, after a Montgomery single up the middle.
  9. Maybe we’re resting Dylan O’Rae’s legs a bit. He didn’t start Saturday or Sunday, although he did enter as a late pinch-bunter and play one inning of defense (second base) today after the resumption of Saturday’s rain-delayed contest.
  10. The AA Shuckers dropped their first game of the day (2-0 in extra innings), so need a win tonight to capture this week’s home series over Montgomery. 21-year old RHP Bishop Letson was terrific in his last outing (5.1 IP, 1 R, 6 Ks). 2B Jheremy Vargas enters as the sole lineup change.
  11. Eddys Leonard was in a 2-for-33 funk, but just knocked out a solo homer to push Nashville’s lead to 3-1 in the 9th inning.
  12. Biloxi’s rain-delayed game from Saturday against Montgomery resumed in the bottom of the 6th inning tied 0-0 with Matt Wood on 2nd base, Blake Burke at the plate and nobody out. Burke walked, but we still didn’t score. They’re now in the 9th inning, still scoreless.
  13. The AAA Sounds need a Sunday win at Jacksonville to earn a 3-3 series split. RHP Easton McGee makes his 2nd spot start of the week (1.2 IP, 2 R, 2 Ks on Tuesday). RF Greg Jones (.795 OPS in 86 AAA PAs) returns to action after missing 2 weeks due to injury.
  14. High-A Wisconsin get a 3rd chance to clinch a series win at Cedar Rapids, though RHP Travis Smith needs a bounceback effort (22 ER in last 6.2 IP). 3B Andrew Fischer has 17 homers in his last 34 games.
  15. The Low-A Warbirds seek to polish off a 5-1 home series win over Salem behind RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (2.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 in 14 IP). 2B Filippo Di Turi has a 17-game on-base streak.
  16. High-A Wisconsin get a second chance to clinch this week’s series at Cedar Rapids, this time with studs LF Josh Adamczewski (9 RBIs last 2 games) and CF Braylon Payne (.934 OPS in 153 PAs) in the lineup. RHP Jason Woodward (5.75 ERA, 1.72 WHIP, 10.6 K/9 in 20.1 IP) has ramped up to about 60 pitches/outing.
  17. - LHP Drew Rom’s contract selected by MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville - RHP Gerson Garabito activated by AAA Nashville from 60-day injured list
  18. 19-year old RHP Carlos Carra has excelled in his last 2 starts (11 IP, 2 R, 14 Ks) and aims to help Low-A Wilson clinch its home series over Salem tonight. The Warbirds are 2nd in the 12-team Carolina League in runs per game (5.4) despite being last in batting average (.216). Last night’s grand slam walk-off hero RF Jose Anderson leads the league in homers (12).
  19. AAA Nashville have dropped 3 of 4 in Jacksonville this week and look to RHP Garrett Stallings (3.80 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 42.2 IP) to right the ship. Promotion candidate SS Cooper Pratt’s on-base streak is up to 25 games.
  20. RHP Jaron DeBerry’s talent has been shining through of late (14 IP, 2 R, 13 Ks in last 2 starts). He leads AA Biloxi as they seek to clinch this week’s home series over Montgomery. 19-year old SS Jesus Made leads the Southern League in RBIs (40).
