- RHP Grant Anderson recalled to MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville (3 days after being optioned)

Transactions: RHP Easton McGee optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Brewers (making room for the previously-announced selection of RHP Jacob Misiorowski’s contract by the MLB Brewers) Signed RHP Bryan Regalado and assigned to DSL Brewers Gold Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Norfolk 8, Nashville 7 (in 10 innings) 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 Fall in Extras on Walk-Off Home Run The Sounds seemed to have won this game twice, but couldn’t put that final nail in the coffin, as the multiple blown saves in the box score suggest. Hits from 7 position players, including homers from OF Bobby Dalbec and 3B Anthony Seigler, 2 singles from C Jeferson Quero and a double from 1B Tyler Black had staked Nashville to a 5-2 lead with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th inning. A relatively early hook for LHP Bryan Hudson (0.2 IP, 2 BB - 14 pitches) saw RHP Craig Yoho come in and inflame the situation: run-scoring double, game-tying triple. Nashville’s remaining 2 position players collected hits in the 9th and 10th inning, including this 2-run infield grounder from SS Freddy Zamora for a 7-5 advantage. RHP Jesus Liranzo thought he’d notched a save by retiring 3 straight batters in the bottom of the 10th, but the last was rightfully reversed from a K to walk via the challenge system. A 3-run walk-off homer followed 4 pitches later for a gut-wrenching defeat. Friday’s outlook: Dominant RHP Logan Henderson (1.83 ERA with 79 Ks in 59.0 MLB/AAA IP) gets the opportunity to halt Nashville’s 3-game skid. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 6, Chattanooga 5 (in 10 innings) Box Score and Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Vargas Leads Shuckers to Comeback Win over Lookouts, Magic Number Drops to 4 After a rough start (4 of first 5 batters reached; 2 runs allowed in the 1st inning), starting RHP KC Hunt retired 12 of 13 batters and 3B Luke Adams’ 2-out, 2-run 5th inning homer turned the tide for a 3-2 lead. Similar to Hudson’s lifting, pulling Hunt (5 2/3 IP, 4 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 4 Ks) with 2-on, 2-out in the 6th inning backfired 2 pitches later when RHP Abdiel Mendoza allowed a 3-run shot for a 5-4 deficit. Per the linked game report, substitute 2B Jheremy Vargas clutch 2-out RBI singles in the 8th and 10th innings put Biloxi back on top and RHP Bo Bowman induced a sweet 1-2-3 double play with the bases loaded to end it. Shuckers’ Extras: DH Brock Wilken keeps coming through at the plate, adding a 3-for-5 day with 2 doubles and an RBI. The Shuckers’ won the baserunning component of the game, going 4-for-4 on SB attempts, while C Matt Wood threw out Chattanooga’s only attempted basestealer. 2B Ethan Murray returned from injury for his first action since May 14, exiting after 5 ½ innings. Friday’s outlook: Impressive RHP Coleman Crow (2.43 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 in 37 IP, including reaching 80 pitches in 6 scoreless IP in his last outing) is the scheduled starter, as Biloxi aims to even the series at 2 games apiece. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 9, Great Lakes 2 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: DeBerry Earns First Pro Win As Rattlers Pull Away Late at Great Lakes The game was much closer than the final scoreline suggests, though Wisconsin controlled it throughout behind a second straight solid start from RHP Jaron DeBerry (5 2/3 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 2 BB, 7 Ks). Eight Timber Rattlers collected hits and the remaining player drew a walk, with OF Luiyin Alastre leading the way with 3 singles and OF Yhoswar Garcia having a particularly enjoyable day (2-for-5, double, 2 RBIs, 2 SBs to give him 30 SBs on the season already). The game was just 1-0 when Yhoswar led off the 5th inning with a bunt single, stole 2 bases and scored, part of a run of 4 consecutive singles by Timber Rattlers’ hitters. After Wisconsin stranded the bases loaded while leading 4-2 in the 7th inning, RHP Patricio Aquino (2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 5 Ks) danced around traffic in the 7th and 8th frames before 1B Blake Burke re-commenced the scoring (and opened the flood gates for more) with his 2-out RBI single in the top of the 9th inning. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: DH/C Marco Dinges (2-for-3, 2 walks; .887 OPS in High-A ball) and SS Eduardo Garcia (1-for-5, double, 2 RBIs, SB; .838 season OPS) continue to provide major offensive contributions. After being limited to a maximum of 4 innings in any of his first 5 starts of 2025, DeBerry has now gone 5 1/3 IP (73 pitches) and 5 2/3 IP (81 pitches) in his last two solid outings. Friday’s outlook: LHP Anthony Flores seeks to build on his terrific last start (5 2/3 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 7 Ks) and lead Wisconsin to a 3-1 series lead on the road. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Lynchburg 13, Carolina 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: Longballs Lift Lynchburg Past Mudcats Lynchburg dominated this game from start to finish, with Carolina trailing 6-1 in the 6th inning before they managed to get any runner in scoring position with less than 2 outs. For the game, the Mudcats went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position, while the Hillcats were 7-for-20. The 13 runs allowed included 5 against RHP Bryce Meccage (3.2 IP), 4 against RHP Garrett Hodges (1.1 IP) and 4 (3 earned) against RHP Dikember Sanchez (2 IP). Position player Luis Lameda retired 3 of 4 Hillcats in a scoreless 8th inning. C Yannic Walther had a mixed day with 2 singles, but was also part of a defense which allowed 8 stolen bases (with 1 caught stealing). At least DH Luis Pena had a solo homer to lift his season SLG to .533. Mudcats’ Extras: Carolina has now dropped 7 of their last 8 games and find themselves 2 games behind Lynchburg in the first half standings. Friday’s outlook: The team need LHP Wande Torres (6.32 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, 8.3 K/9 in 31 1/3 IP) to give him best start of 2025 if they hope to avoid falling behind 4 games to 0 in this week’s road series. Final: ACL Dodgers 21, ACL Brewers 10 Box Score and Game Log Conceding a touchdown, 2-point conversion and field goal all within the first 3 innings put our ‘Zona Men in a quick 11-0 hole, with starting RHP Miqueas Mercedes (2/3 IP, 7 R (0 ER), 2 H, 3 BB, 1 WP, 1 K) and RHP Argenis Aparicio (1 2/3 IP, 6 R, 8 H, 0 BB, 1 WP, 1 K) bearing it all. At least the offense perked up, with all 9 position players reaching via hit or walk as part of a 10-run, 11-hit evening, even though they never got closer than a 7-run deficit. 2B Jadyn Fielder (2-for-3, 2 walks, 3 RBIs) and OF Pedro Ibarguen each connected on their 2nd homer of 2025. Each of OF Engel Paulino, C Luis Corobo and OF Roderick Flores went 2-for-4 with 2 singles to lift their season stats. Back to the pitching front, RHP Jose Nova had the only respectable outing (1 2/3 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 1 H, 1 BB, 1 WP, 3 Ks), while RHP Wenderlyn King conceded 5 runs (2 1/3 IP), RHP Carlos Espinal allowed 2 runs (2 IP) and RHP Jose Meneses walked in a run to push the deficit to 13-0 by that point. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 10, DSL LAD Mega 6 Box Score and Game Log Five shutout innings from starting RHP Lukas Gonzalez (3 H, 0 BB, 5 Ks) and 5 RBI hits in the first 3 innings made this a comfortable win for the Blue squad. Seven starting position players and 2 substitutes notched hits, led by DH Jefer Lista (2-for-3, walk, 2 RBIs, 2 SBs) and SS Leonard Rijo (2-for-4, RBI, 2 SBs). A 5-run 8th inning (on 1 single, 4 walks, 3 HBPs) pushed the advantage to 10-1 before RHP Carlos Galindo (3 2/3 IP, 6 R, 0 Ks) tired in a 5-run 9th. Nine stolen bases and a 6-for-17 day with runners in scoring position were notable. OF Gerlyn Payano exited after a 2nd inning strikeout, so we’ll have to monitor his availability. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 3, DSL Rojos 2 (in 7 innings as scheduled) Box Score and Game Log RBI doubles from 1B Jonathan Rangel in the 1st inning and 2B Juan Martinez (1-for-2, 2 SBs) in the penultimate frame were the key offense and RHP Carlos Canales was lights out in the final 2 innings (0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks). RHP Jose Arias (4 2/3 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 3 Ks) had an effective start and SS Christopher Acosta set aside the 0-for-26 start to his career with a 2-for-4 day in the leadoff spot. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Friday, the DSL squads (Blue at DSL Padres Gold, Gold at DSL CLE Goryl) get action started at 10:00am CST as part of a 7-game slate (all evening games stateside affiliates), while the Milwaukee Brewers host St. Louis at 7:10pm CST.

High-A Wisconsin is tied 1-1 in their series at Great Lakes and starting RHP Jaron DeBerry aims for a strong start like last week (5.1 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks). SS Eduardo Garcia‘s on-base streak is up to 23 games. {Note: their lineup graphics haven’t matched the actual batting order very well this week. MILB.com shows Baez leading off, Eduardo batting 5th…)

The Low-A Mudcats have lost 6 of their last 7 games, so need a win behind 19-year old Bryce Meccage (3.07 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 9.8 K/9 in 29.1 IP) to turn things around. Despite his .210 AVG, LF Tyler Rodriguez is 5th in the Carolina League in OBP (.428).

2B Ethan Murray returns from injury for his first game since May 14, as AA Biloxi tries to dig out of a 2 games to 0 hole in their series in Chattanooga. RHP KC Hunt appears to have turned a corner (last 15.1 IP: 4 R, 12 H, 3 BB, 21 Ks).

SS Christopher Acosta struck out looking to start the game, then singled the other way his 2nd time up. He’s now 1-for-27 in his debut season for DSL Brewers Gold. Way to get on the board!

The AAA Sounds have dropped 2 games at Norfolk and send RHP Garrett Stallings out this morning for his 2nd spot start in 5 days (3 IP, 1 R, 1 K on Sunday). 3B Anthony Seigler’s on-base streak is up to 33 games.

After a heartbreaking loss at Chattanooga yesterday, first place AA Biloxi trots out solid LHP Tate Kuehner (2.85 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 in 53.2 IP) to even the series. 1B Luke Adams has a 7-game hitting streak.

19-year old RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (2.66 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 8.7 K/9 in 23.2 ACL IP) makes his Low-A debut as Carolina needs a win at Lynchburg to avoid dropping to 2nd place in the division. CF Braylon Payne has 2 homers and a triple over his last 3 games.

- INF Ethan Murray back from injury for AA Biloxi - RHP Tyler Woessner assigned to pitching-desperate High-A Wisconsin (hmmm…but the MILB transaction log shows him going to AAA Nashville - so let’s give it time to see who’s right)

24-year old LF Tyler Black makes his 2025 non-rehab debut, as AAA Nashville aims to even its series in Norfolk. RHP Tobias Myers aims to build on a solid outing last week (6 IP, 3 R, 5 H, 0 BB, 9 Ks).

High-A Wisconsin (29-28) plays at Dodgers’ affiliate Great Lakes (30-27) this week, with RHP Ryan Birchard (4.46 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 in 42.1 IP) starting the opening game. CF Eduardo Garcia’s on-base streak is up to 21 games.

Low-A Carolina (35-20) leads Guardians’ affiliate Lynchburg (35-22) by 1 game and play 6 games at the Hillcats this week. 18-year old RHP Melvin Hernandez (2.76 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 6.8 K/9 in 49 IP) starts pivotal Game 1 of the series. 2B Luis Pena has the 2nd-highest SLG (.522) in the Carolina League.

AA Biloxi (35-22) battles Reds’ affiliate Chattanooga (28-25) on the road this week, with 1B Luke Adams coming in with a 6-game hitting streak and 30-game on-base streak. RHP Brett Wichrowski (3.04 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 in 23.2 IP) makes his 7th start of 2025.

AAA Nashville (38-24) plays at Orioles’ affiliate Norfolk (24-38) this week and welcomes recently-claimed CF Drew Avans (.858 OPS with 16 SBs in 222 PAs in the Pacific Coast League) to the top of the lineup. LHP Bruce Zimmermann looks to build on a solid last start (5.1 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 Ks).

Transactions: Claimed OF Drew Avans from the Athletics and optioned to AAA Nashville LHP Tyler Jay activated by AAA Nashville from Development List RHP Sam McWilliams placed on Development List by AAA Nashville LHP Russell Smith placed on full season injured list RHP Josue Toledo assigned to DSL Brewers Blue from DSL Brewers Gold Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 10, Gwinnett 4 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 End Series With 10-4 Win, Take Five of Six Games Against Stripers Having already won the series and facing a Sunday bullpen game, one might have expected the Sounds to come out flat in this one. Well, one would have been wrong, as they had 9 straight hitters reach base with 1 out in the 1st inning, plating 6 runs to excite 6,819 home fans. SS Freddy Zamora’s 2-run double highlighted that outburst in support of spot starter RHP Garrett Stallings (3 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K). Seven pitchers saw action in the easy win, including LHP Tyler Jay (1 IP, 1 K) and RHPs Craig Yoho (1 IP, 3 Ks) and Blake Holub (1 IP, 2 Ks) retiring all 9 batters they faced. Did this 7th inning no-doubter from 1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. only travel 389 feet? Skeptics abound. Sounds’ Extras: Red-hot Anthony Seigler (.307 AVG, .965 OPS) contributed an RBI double, HBP and 2 runs this game while catching the 9 innings. Next week’s outlook: Nashville heads due east over to Norfolk, Virginia to take on the Orioles’ affiliate. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 6, Montgomery 4 Box Score and Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Wilken's Grand Slam Leads Shuckers to 6-4 Win, Six-Game Division Lead Similar to the Sounds’ storyline, Biloxi gave their hurlers some early breathing room, in this case behind 3B Brock Wilken’s Southern League-leading 15th homer, a 1st inning grand slam for a 4-1 lead: Starting RHP Alexander Cornielle undoubtedly appreciated the support, though it was a relatively short outing for him (3.2 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 3 BB, 1 WP, 3 Ks) as he made his 2nd start in 5 days. Kudos to RHP Abdiel Mendoza (2 1/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 K) for being an effective bridge to the bullpen, although things got a bit more tense late. Three straight 2-out hits against RHP Tyler Bryant brought the potential lead run to the plate in the top of the 8th, but Bryant came thru with a strikeout swinging to erase that threat. Shuckers’ Extras: DH Mike Boeve (single, 2 walks) and SS Cooper Pratt (3 singles, RBI, 2 SBs) each reached base 3 times in productive days at the plate. 1B Luke Adams singled, but exited after a hit-by-pitch in the 4th inning. He’d stayed on the bases for one batter after the HBP, so we’re hoping the exit was purely precautionary. Next week’s outlook: Biloxi heads 6.5 hours north by road to take on Reds’ affiliate Chattanooga for six games commencing on Tuesday. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 7, Cedar Rapids 5 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Wisconsin Takes Series with Sunday Win over Kernels Video highlights of the impressive series-clinching victory are available thanks to the terrific Wisconsin media team: And we’re also blessed to have a jam-packed 36-minute Mehring/Lobner post-game podcast, featuring RHP Sam Garcia, OF Luiyin Alastre and Manager Victor Estevez. What a great first High-A start for 23-year old RHP Sam Garcia (5 1/3 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 4 Ks)! As you’ve read, seen and heard at the various links, the Timber Rattlers didn’t get some breathing space until SS Eduardo Garcia’s 3-run 4th inning homer gave them a 4-0 cushion. The squad then weathered some late inning runs and traffic to send 4,221 home fans happy, highlighted by 1-4-3 and 6-4-3 double plays in the 8th and 9th innings behind RHP Patricio Aquino. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: The team’s 9-thru-4 batters contributed 11 of their 12 hits, including 3-hit days for 2B Juan Baez and DH Marco Dinges. 1B Blake Burke (2-for-4, walk, RBI) also lifted his season average to an impressive .325 with a .869 OPS. Although he stranded a baserunner for Garcia, this wasn’t really the outing that RHP Yerlin Rodriguez was looking for: 1 2/3 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 4 BB, 2 WP, 2 Ks. Next week’s outlook: Wisconsin faces a 7+ hour road-trip to head over to Midland, Michigan and battle Dodgers’ affiliate Great Lakes for 6 games, with RHP Ryan Birchard (4.46 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 in 42 1/3 IP) listed as the expected starter for Tuesday’s series opener. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Carolina 6, Charleston 2 Box Score and Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: Mudcats Beat Charleston to Snap Skid Continuing the day’s theme, the Mudcats jumped out in front 4-0 by the third inning on the back of OF Jose Anderson’s first Low-A homer (a laser 2-run shot), triples from SS Jesus Made and OF Braylon Payne and three second inning singles. RHP Travis Smith was getting his second start of the week, but we’re still a bit surprised that he only went 31 pitches (3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks). LHP Bjorn Johnson’s first inning of relief was a tricky 6th, with 3 hits cutting the lead to 4-2 with 2-on, 1-out, but C Yannic Walther got a huge caught stealing (per the game log, but not the box score – oddly) before a fly out finished the escape. The very next batter was 3B Filippo Di Turi, who brought the game back to 5-2 with his blast. Johnson (4 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks) was nearing his season-high pitch total (62) with 2-on, 1-out in the top of the 9th inning, getting a pretty 1-4-3 double play to end the game and his outing at 62 pitches. Mudcats’ Extras: Eight of the 9 Mudcats’ batters collected hits, while the remaining hitter walked twice. Walther (3-for-4, double) also contributed with his bat, while 2B Luis Lameda reached base four times (2-for-2, double, 2 walks) and Made had a 2-for-5 afternoon with an RBI. Next week’s outlook: Carolina heads three hours’ north to battle second place Lynchburg, Virginia to battle the Guardians’ affiliate. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Monday, our Dominican Summer League squads (Blue and Gold) get the action started at 10:00am CST against DSL Tampa Bay and DSL Cubs Blue, respectively. Later, the Milwaukee Brewers host the Braves at 6:40pm and our ACL Brewers host the ACL Athletics at 8:00pm CST.

23-year old RHP Sam Garcia (2.08 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 11.4 K/9 in 34.2 Low-A IP) makes his High-A debut as Wisconsin tries to clinch a 4-2 home series victory over Cedar Rapids. CF Eduardo Garcia has a 20-game on-base streak and leads the team in homers (9) and RBIs (28).

Four consecutive home losses to Charleston have the Low-A Mudcats on the brink of losing their division lead to Lynchburg. RHP Travis Smith makes his 2nd start of the week (4.2 scoreless innings with 2 Ks in 70 pitches on Tuesday).
