23-year old RHP Jaron DeBerry (4.38 ERA with 102 Ks in 100.2 IP across 3 levels in 2025) gets the ball for AA Biloxi’s 2026 home opener, as they host Marlins’ affiliate Pensacola for 6 games this week. 1B Blake Burke has 3 homers in just 3 games played.

Game Notes have Wilson going with Healy-Renz-Mercedes-Mercado-Bonet as starters over the next 5 games, so I guess Carra will piggy-back today or more likely tomorrow. Bravo, Carra, Conrad, Healy and Prado have yet to appear in a game.

It looks like the Arizona Complex League's regular season will run from May 2 to July 23, with 15 teams competing. The Brewers had 51 players make appearances in the ACL last year, including 35 regulars and 16 rehabbing players. The Dominican Summer League (schedule pending) typically runs from the early June until late August, with the Brewers fielding 2 squads in a ~52-team league.

I'm not sure if we caught this earlier - i.e. RHP Jesus Liranzo (3.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 9.9 K/9 in 58.1 IP in Nashville last year) plays for the Yakult Swallows of the NPB.

20-year old RHP Jarrette Bonet makes his organizational debut and 18-year old C Luis Corobo makes his Low-A debut as Wilson seeks the franchise’s first series win at Fayetteville.

24-year old RHP Tyson Hardin makes first start of 2026 as AA Biloxi can capture a 2-1 series win at Rocket City with a victory this fine Easter afternoon.

SS Cooper Pratt (first game since last Sunday), LHP Tate Kuehner (5.2 IP, 1 R, 5 Ks in last start) and AAA Nashville aim to polish off a 4-1 home series win over Charlotte.

RHP Bishop Letson takes the bump for AA Biloxi:

19-year RHP Enniel Cortez returns to action after missing the 2025 season due to injury:

Transactions: SS Cooper Pratt’s contract selected by MLB Brewers and optioned to AAA Nashville RHP Joe Corbett reinstated to AAA Nashville from Development List RHP Melvin Hernandez of Low-A Wilson transferred to Development List INF/OF Demetrio Nadal of Low-A Wilson transferred to Development List INF/OF Eduardo Garcia placed on AA Biloxi’s 7-day injured list RHP Nick Merkel placed on AA Biloxi’s 7-day injured list OF Steward Berroa of AAA Nashville designated for assignment by MLB Brewers Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 7, Charlotte 6 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Adams, Quero Home Runs Lift Sounds Past Knights At the link above, you’ll find an excellent game write-up by Cory Hilborne, including videos of 1B Luke Adams’ grand slam (snapping his 0-for-15 start to the season) and C Jeferson Quero’s 2-run blast, a reference to this being RHP Coleman Crow’s first AAA Win and even the excellent home crowd size of 7,892. The 25-year old Crow tossed 90 pitches over his 6 innings of work (2 R, 4 H, 2 BB, 5 Ks), with his velocity peaking at 93.3mph as he mixed in a significant number of low-to-mid 70s mph curve balls. He exited with a 7-2 lead before 29-year old RHP Joe Corbett (1 IP, 3 R, 5 H, 0 BB, 1 K) got his first taste of affiliated baseball after spending the 2023-2025 seasons in Mexican League or the independent American Association. Sounds’ Extras: 2B Ethan Murray contributed 2 hits, OF Luis Lara had 3 walks and a stolen base, while RHP Will Childers earned his first save of 2026 while topping out at 96.1mph. We’re grateful to the Knights for attempting a double steal of second and home to interrupt their string of 4 consecutive hits off of Corbett, running into a critical second out at home in their 3-run 7th inning. Charlotte out-hit the Sounds 12 to 6 and went 6-for-13 with runners in scoring position, but the long balls (Nashville 2, Knights 0) were the key difference in this contest. Saturday’s outlook: 25-year old LHP Tate Kuehner (5.2 IP, 1 R, 5 Ks in his last outing) looks to lead Nashville to a series-clinching victory. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 7, Rocket City 6 (in 10 innings) Box Score and Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Burke's Historic Effort Powers Shuckers to Extra-Innings Win on Opening Day 1B Blake Burke clearly enjoys hitting in the Southern League, going with a two-true-outcome approach on Opening Day: 2 homers, 3 Ks. He now has 13 blasts in 38 career games for AA Biloxi. Former 2nd round draft pick DH Mike Boeve is determined to re-establish his prospect status after a late 2024 injury (.886 OPS that year) and difficult 2025 recovery season (.676 OPS). A 3-for-4 first game of 2026, including a 2-run blast and a stolen base certainly indicate that the 23-year old is on course. Starting 23-year old RHP Brett Wichrowski had a solid outing, striking out 6 and inducing 6 ground outs (vs. 0 fly balls) over 4 innings and 64 pitches (2 R, 1 H, 2 BB). He exited with a 5-2 lead, handing over to too-exciting middle relievers RHP Ryan Birchard (3 IP, 1 R, 0 H, 6 BB, 4 Ks) and LHP Jesus Broca (1 IP, 3 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 0 Ks). Despite the walks, Birchard still turned some heads, with Curt Hogg posting on sky.social about his “big league stuff right now” and “up to 24 inches of vert on his cut-ride heater”. An error and a wild pitch enabled the good guys to push the winning run across in the top of the 10th inning, as Biloxi scored without needing a hit in that pivotal final frame. We obviously need to reproduce LHP Mark Manfredi and make his duplicates available in Biloxi and Nashville. The 26-year old dominated, striking out 5 of 6 batters faced to deservedly earn the Win – 2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB in 27 pitches (19 strikes). C Matthew Wood contributed a single, 2 walks and solid defense. Shuckers’ Extras: Biloxi out-hit Rocket City 11-3, but went 2-for-17 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 baserunners. 2B Dylan O’Rae had a 2-for-5 evening in the leadoff spot, which was a welcome comeback after missing the 2025 season due to injury (although he did play in the Arizona Fall League last October). 18-year old super prospect SS Jesus Made went 1-for-5, was caught stealing and ground into a double play, but Minor League Forum contributors could not stop talking about his near-grand slam on a golf shot which landed foul in the 4th inning. Saturday’s outlook: 21-year old RHP Bishop Letson (#9 BrewerFanatic prospect; 2.40 ERA with 49 Ks in 41 1/3 High-A/AA IP last year) aims to lead Biloxi to a series-clinching victory. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Rainout: Beloit at Wisconsin Chris Mehring added some more context on what’s in store for tomorrow. Saturday’s outlook: RHPs Bryce Meccage (4.35 ERA in 70 1/3 Low-A IP in 2025) and Ethan Dorchies (3.40 ERA in 82 Low-A/High-A IP last year) are the scheduled starters for Wisconsin’s Opening Day doubleheader. There will not be a game on Easter Sunday, so the originally-scheduled 3-game series boils down to this twin-bill. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 2, Fayetteville 0 Box Score and Game Log Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Warbirds Score Late to Capture Inaugural Victory If you had 19-year old starting RHP Miqueas Mercedes (5 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 7 Ks) throwing 81 pitches on Opening Day on your bingo card, congrats to you. And a big congratulations to the Wilson franchise and Manager Eddy Morgan on their first Win in affiliated baseball. RHP Tyler Renz and LHP Jose Meneses continued Mercedes’ exceptional work, striking out 8 Fayetteville hitters in 4 innings on bullpen work, while working around a single and 3 walks. Forum followers noted Meneses as throwing about 92mph, but baffling hitters with “good life” on his offerings. As readers would have noted from the linked game report and box score, neither team could buy a run despite 78-degree weather and a 14mph wind blowing out to left field. The squads combined to go 0-for-14 with runners in scoring position, striking out a combined 30 times in the game while stranding 16 baserunners. No hits were needed for Wilson to push 2 runs across in the top of the 9 inning, as 3B Filippo Di Turi walked and scored on an OF Luiyin Alastre ground out, while C Yannic Walther walked and DH Jadyn Fielder came home on an errant pick off throw. Warbirds’ Extras: OF Handelfry Encarnacion delivered Wilson’s first-ever hit, a double within 1-one, 1-out in the first inning, while OF Jose Anderson also doubled with 1-out in the bottom of the 6th inning. Four Woodpeckers’ errors vs. zero for the Warbirds were the big difference as the teams managed to register only 6 hits total. It was also noted in the Forum that the Carolina League has apparently scrapped hitter timeouts this year, which might explain two batter timer violations by Wilson batters. Saturday’s outlook: 20-year old RHP Jarrette Bonet, signed in July 2025 as a non-drafted player out of San Jacinto College, is scheduled to make his organizational debut, seeking to lead Wilson to its first-ever series victory. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Saturday, the Timber Rattlers kick off 5 games of Minor League action at 1:10pm CST followed by Wilson at 6:05pm and Nashville and Biloxi – both at 6:35pm. The Milwaukee Brewers’ doubleheader also starts at 1:10pm CST.

Wichrowski has retired 10 in a row after conceding 2 runs in the 1st inning. He’s at 64 pitches through 4 frames, with the Shuckers up 4-2.

25-year old RHP Coleman Crow (4.2 IP, 2 R, 6 Ks in last outing) and the AAA Sounds aim for a 3-1 home series lead over Charlotte. LF Eddys Leonard has 4 extra-base hits in 4 games played.

AA Biloxi’s 2026 Opening Day has them on the road facing Rocket City, with 18-year old SS Jesus Made (.792 OPS in 525 PAs at 3 levels in 2025) and 22-year old 1B Blake Burke (.832 OPS in 567 High-A/AA PAs last year) highlighting the position players. 22-year old RHP Brett Wichrowski gets the start after posting a 3.44 ERA with 72 Ks in 99.1 IP for Biloxi last season.

The first official lineup for the Low-A Wilson Warbirds features 18-year old SS Brady Ebel (#19 prospect at BrewerFanatic; .592 OPS in 66 Low-A PAs last year), with 19-year old RHP Miqueas Mercedes (6.34 ERA in 59.2 ACL/Low-A IP in 2025) getting the Opening Day start at Fayetteville.

Per Wilson Warbirds’ first-ever Game Notes: - RHP Melvin Hernandez transferred to Development List - INF/OF Demetrio Nadal transferred to Development List

Weather-permitting, 20-year old RHP Bryce Meccage (4.35 ERA with 69 Ks in 70.1 Low-A IP last year) and High-A Wisconsin kick off their 2026 campaign with a home doubleheader against Beloit. 19-year old SS Luis Pena (.757 OPS in 418 Low-A / High-A PAs last season ) and 2025 first round pick 3B Andrew Fischer (.848 OPS in 87 High- A PAs in 2025) headline the Opening Day lineup.

Transactions: OF Steward Berroa activated from MLB injured list and optioned to AAA Nashville C Andrick Nava transferred to Development List Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 4, Charlotte 0 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Blank Knights on Thursday Night SS Freddy Zamora (2-for-3, 2 RBIs, SB) was at the center of 3 of the Sounds’ 4 runs on Thursday night, doubling to open the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd inning, coming home on a fielders’ choice for the team’s second run and singling home DH Jeferson Quero (2-for-4, SB) in the 4th inning to extend the advantage to 3-0. On the mound, ol’ reliable RHP Garrett Stallings (acquired May 2024) stepped up with a 3-inning spot start (0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks; 48 pitches), stranding 4 baserunners in the first 2 frames, with a little help from the solid Sounds’ defense. LHP Robert Gasser had been penciled in to start, but Wednesday’s Media Notes had already shifted Stallings to the starter. We thank @Jim Goulart and @AdamMcCalvy for seeking out an explanation. RHP Easton McGee (2.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks; 45 pitches) bounced back from being the final MLB Spring Training cut and conceding 2 runs on Saturday to continue Stallings’ shutout effort, retiring 8 of 10 batters faced. The 3-0 lead looked tenuous in the top of the 7th inning after LHP Drew Rom (1.1 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 HBP, 1 K) allowed consecutive singles and a hit-by-pitch to load the bases with one out, but he induced a jam shot 5-4-3 double play ball to 3B Brock Wilken to come out unscathed. The outfield of Greg Jones (.350 AVG), Luis Lara (.375 AVG) and Eddys Leonard (.333 AVG) continued their hot start to the season, each delivering a hit, including Lara’s 8th inning RBI single. Sounds’ Extras: RHP Jacob Waguespack put in a solid shift (1.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks; 36 pitches) to nearly close it out before RHP Blake Holub got the final out – a strikeout swinging on just 3 pitches. Although Nashville outhit the Knights 8-7 and benefitted from two Charlotte errors, the Knights had an array of chances, stranding 10 baserunners as they put at least 2 baserunners aboard in each of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th and 8th innings. Better offensive days are ahead for stud corner infield prospects Wilken (0-for-3, AVG .063) and 1B Luke Adams (0-for-2, HBP; AVG .000 through 14 ABs). Friday’s outlook: 25-year old RHP Coleman Crow is scheduled to make his second start of 2026, after a 4.2 IP, 1 R, 6 K outing on Saturday, seeking to lead Nashville to a 3-1 lead in the series. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Friday, enjoy Season Openers for High-A Wisconsin at 5:10pm (home doubleheader against Beloit with RHPs Bryce Meccage and Ethan Dorchies slated to start), Low-A Wilson at 6:05pm (first-ever franchise game, at Fayetteville with RHP Miqueas Mercedes starting) and AA Biloxi at 6:35pm (RHP Brett Wichrowski starting at Rocket City), in addition to the Sounds at 6:35pm and MLB Brewers at the Royals at 6:45pm.
