Image courtesy of © Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 4-2 (Overall: 26-28) Run Scored Last Week: 34 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 32 Standing: 4th place in NL Central (6.0 GB 1st place CHC, 4.0 GB Wild Card) *** Game 48 (5/19) | MIL 5, BAL 4 Game 49 (5/20) | MIL 5, BAL 2 Game 50 (5/21) | BAL 8, MIL 4 Game 51 (5/22) | MIL 8, PIT 5 Game 52 (5/23) | PIT 6, MIL 5 Game 53 (5/24) | PIT 2, MIL 1 Game 54 (5/25) | MIL 6, PIT 5 *** Transactions: 05/23/25 - Activated LHP Aaron Ashby from the 15-day injured list. 05/23/25 - Optioned RHP Carlos Rodriguez to AAA Nashville. 05/22/25 - Designated RHP Joel Payamps for assignment. 05/22/25 - Activated RHP Aaron Civale from the 15-day injured list. 05/22/25 - Optioned RHP Easton McGee to AAA Nashville. 05/22/25 - Recalled RHP Carlos Rodriguez from AAA Nashville. 05/21/25 - Sent RHP Brandon Woodruff on a rehab assignment to AAA Nashville. 05/18/25 - Transferred LHP Connor Thomas from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. 05/18/25 - Selected the contract of RHP Easton McGee from AAA Nashville. 05/18/25 - Optioned RHP Tobias Myers to AAA Nashville. Breakdown / Highlights The Brewers started the week with a 3-game set at home against Baltimore. Game one would see a 5-4 Brewer win, with Quinn Priester and Rob Zastryzny combining for 6.1 innings as the opener/long relief duo. Offensively, William Contreras drove in two runs with his first four-hit game of the season. Tuesday's game two saw the Brewers pick up their third straight victory behind Logan Henderson, who twirled five scoreless innings and racked up seven strikeouts. Milwaukee would fail to complete its first sweep of the season the next day, losing in 11 innings, and expand its bullpen completely, a decision by Pat Murphy that would hurt the team throughout the rest of the week. Caleb Durbin manufactures a run with his speed: In Pittsburgh, the Brewers opened their four-game set against the Pirates by taking game one. Aaron Civale made his return to the mound in the winning effort, pitching four innings of two-run ball before Carlos Rodríguez (shackled by a two-hour rain delay, no less) took over. Christian Yelich added with his best offensive game of the season, recording his first multi-homer game since the 2023 season, driving in four of the Brewers' eight runs in the process. Trevor Megill closed the game out, pitching for the fourth time in five days, a decision that would be costly over the next two days. Games two and three would see the offense go cold once again, as well as the laboring Brewers' bullpen starting to falter. Abner Uribe blew two saves on Friday in the 6-5 loss, while steady names in Tyler Alexander and Jared Koenig struggled on short rest, resulting in another 1-run Pirates victory on Saturday. That came despite the first career 3-hit game from Caleb Durbin, and 11 hits from the Brewers in total. Joey Ortiz goes deep: On Sunday, the Milwaukee offense jumped out to an early 3-run lead, but once again, the bullpen would wash the lead away. Logan Henderson was solid once again, despite Oneil Cruz breaking the Statcast record on a solo homer, going five innings, and striking out six. Nick Mears and Jared Koenig would give up a pair of runs in the sixth and seventh innings. However, a three-run eighth from the Brewers and shutdown innings from Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill saw the Brewers complete their first multi-run comeback of the season, to split the series with the pesky Pirates. Durbin's game-tying knock: Meanwhile, around Brewer Fanatic: How Garett Mitchell might be able to make an impact on his return, The All-21st Century Brewers Position Players Roster, Pitching Staff, and the legs behind Rhys Hoskins' strong start to the season Looking Ahead: May 26, 2025 – Red Sox at Brewers – 1:10 PM CT May 27, 2025 – Red Sox at Brewers – 6:40 PM CT May 28, 2025 – Red Sox at Brewers – 12:10 PM CT May 30, 2025 – Brewers at Phillies – 5:45 PM CT May 31, 2025 – Brewers at Phillies – 3:05 PM CT June 1, 2025 – Brewers at Phillies – 12:35 PM CT View full article

Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 2-4 (Overall: 22-25) Run Scored Last Week: 14 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 24 Standing: 4th in NL Central (5.5 GB 1st place CHC) *** Game 42 (5/12) | CLE 5, MIL 0 Game 43 (5/13) | CLE 2, MIL 0 Game 44 (5/14) | MIL 9, CLE 5 Game 45 (5/16) | MIN 3, MIL 0 Game 46 (5/17) | MIN 7, MIL 0 Game 47 (5/18) | MIL 5, MIN 2 *** Transactions: 05/18/25 - Transferred LHP Connor Thomas from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. (Left elbow arthritis) 05/18/25 - Selected the contract of RHP Easton McGee from Nashville Sounds. 05/18/25- Optioned RHP Tobias Myers to AAA Nashville. 05/16/25 - Aquired LHP Rob Zastryzny for cash. 05/16/25 - Optioned RHP Elvis Peguero to AAA Nashville. 05/15/25 - Signed free agent OF Eddie Rosario to a minor league contract. 05/15/25 - Chicago White Sox claimed 3B Vinny Capra off waivers. 05/14/25 - Placed LHP Jose Quintana on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 11, 2025. (Left shoulder impingement) 05/14/25 - Sent LHP DL Hall on a rehab assignment to AAA Nashville. 05/14/25 - Recalled RHP Tobias Myers from AAA Nashville. 05/14/25 - Optioned LHP Bryan Hudson to AAA Nashville. 05/14/25 - Recalled RHP Logan Henderson from AAA Nashville. Breakdown / Highlights The Milwaukee Brewers scored only 14 runs last week, so needless to say, there weren’t many offensive highlights. There is one day in particular that stands out from the previous week, when the 9-spot Milwaukee hung over the Guardians, and there was one player whose day was worth celebrating. Rhys Hoskins, who recorded a four-hit, five RBI day, which counted for 35% of Milwaukee's offense all week and included this two-run shot: On the pitching side, there wasn’t much new worth celebrating either. Logan Henderson made his second start of his career, becoming one of the few Brewers to win their first two career starts. Still, undoubtedly the most celebrated thing from Brewer land came from the Brewers' AAA affiliate out west, when highly touted pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski was clocked throwing some serious heat late into his most recent start (and lowering his season ERA to 1.46 in the process). And lastly, here’s the catch of the year candidate from Jackson Chourio that saved a game-tying home run from Royce Lewis on Sunday: Meanwhile around Brewer Fanatic, here’s a few things from the past week you won’t want to miss: Your daily reminder that it ‘ain't over ‘till it’s over (or why maybe it is), what the future may hold for the shortstop position, and the core of the issues behind the Brewers recent struggles. Looking Ahead: May 19, 2025 – Orioles at Brewers – 6:40 PM CT May 20, 2025 – Orioles at Brewers – 6:40 PM CT May 21, 2025 – Orioles at Brewers – 12:10 PM CT May 22, 2025 – Brewers at Pirates – 5:40 PM CT May 23, 2025 – Brewers at Pirates – 5:40 PM CT May 24, 2025 – Brewers at Pirates – 3:05 PM CT May 25, 2025 – Brewers at Pirates – 12:35 PM CT View full article

PTBNL from the 4/07 Quinn Priester trade. Breakdown / Highlights It was another tough week for the Brewers despite starting the week with a pair of victories in Houston, as the offense finds itself sputtering. The direct result of those struggles has already seen the end of the Vinny Capra experiment, who was DFA’d by Milwaukee on Friday, as well as heightened playing time for bench bats like Jake Bauers. Needless to say, the largest question that looms over the Brewers now is whether or not the offensive production will come from struggling stars like William Contreras, Christian Yelich, and Jackson Chourio, or will it come in the form of a trade? If the first option is what the Brewers are betting on, here's a sign with Yeli and Wild Bill going back-to-back on Mother's Day. There was some promising signs on the pitching front though, as Jose Quintana bounced back from a rough start in Chicago with 5.1 innings of one run ball on Friday, and despite being optioned to Triple A to make room for the return of Brandon Woodruff, Tobias Myers delivered his best start of the season, matching Quintana’s line of 5.1 innings one one-run baseball in his start against the Astros. On that note, Brandoon Woodruff is slated to return next week, and here’s why you can be excited about that.

Breakdown / Highlights The struggles continued for the Brewers last week despite the neutral record, as they got shut out for the first two times on the season, and fell further behind the Cubs after the NL Central foe was dominant at American Family Field in the first two games of the series. Scoring two combined runs in a three-game stretch against the White Sox and Cubs was really just a paradigm of this season so far. The talent on the squad is evident, the team plays (mostly) fundamentally sound baseball, the coaching staff generally does a good job with in-game management... and yet, the product on the field is wildly inconsistent from game to game. Salvaging a .500 week thanks to a dominant Freddy Peralta effort against the Cubs was a breath of fresh air, but with three consecutive American League contenders on deck, Milwaukee is going to have to bring its A-game a lot more frequently if it hopes to make more out of May than it did April. Here are some highlights from the week: Isaac Collins’ first career bomb! Milwaukee’s six-run rally against the White Sox to steal a game: Jake Bauers has been putting together a nice season off the bench. (And on the mound, with four scoreless appearances.)

The Brewers battled against old friend Willy Adames and the Giants, as well as NL Central rival St. Louis, in the midst of a long road trip last week. It wasn't pretty, as the Brewers once again find themselves below .500. Here's a quick recap if you missed the action. Image courtesy of © Eakin Howard-Imagn Images Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 2-5 (Overall: 14-15 ) Run Scored Last Week: 34 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 30 Standing: 3rd in NL Central (3.5 GB) *** Game 18 (4/21) | SF 5, MIL 2 Game 19 (4/22) | MIL 11, SF 3 Game 20 (4/23) | SF 4, MIL 2 Game 21 (4/24) | SF 6, MIL 5 Game 22 (4/25) | STL 3, MIL 2 Game 23 (4/26) | STL 6, MIL 5 Game 24 (4/27) | MIL 7, STL 1 *** Transactions: 04/26/25 - Transferred CF Blake Perkins from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Right shin. 04/26/25 - Placed CF Garrett Mitchell on the 10-day injured list. Left oblique strain. 04/26/25 Milwaukee Brewers selected the contract of LF Daz Cameron from Nashville Sounds. 04/24/25 - Activated RHP Tobias Myers from the 15-day injured list. 04/24/25 - Sent RHP Brandon Woodruff on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds. 04/24/25 - Optioned LHP Bryan Hudson to Nashville Sounds. 04/22/25 - Signed free agent RHP Steven Duran to a minor league contract. 04/21/25 - Transferred LHP Nestor Cortes from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Left elbow flexor strain. 04/21/25 - Acquired RHP Cesar Espinal from the Kansas City Royals. 04/21/25 - Optioned RHP Logan Henderson to Nashville Sounds. Breakdown / Highlights It wasn’t a hot week for highlights. There were plenty of lowlights, including Sal Frelick seeing his 21-game on-base streak snapped after he was benched by Pat Murphy; the bullpen blowing multiple leads; and Garrett Mitchell being added to the plethora of Brewers injuries. Even Caleb Durbin, who hit his first major-league homer in San Francisco, found himself getting benched for a baserunning gaffe in the Cardinals series. There was some good news this week, though, as Tobias Myers made his first start of the season in his return from injury, while Brandon Woodruff is on the verge of making the same return. Needless to say, there's a bit of a light at the end of this injury tunnel the Brewers are traversing early. Jackson Chourio also struggled this past week, but the wünderkind has continued to prove that his slumps are temporary, picking up a four-hit game on Saturday in the 6-5 loss. Meanwhile, the highlights around Brewer Fanatic were plentiful, including some discussions around Pat Murphy’s apparent urgency, and some of the numbers behind Contreras’s sudden surge in throwing out baserunners. Also, be sure to check out this piece on Grant Anderson or this update on Jacob Misiorowski’s success in the minor leagues. Looking Ahead: April 29, 2025 – Brewers at White Sox – 6:40 PM CT April 30, 2025 – Brewers at White Sox – 6:40 PM CT May 1, 2025 – Brewers at White Sox – 1:10 PM CT May 2, 2025 – Cubs at Brewers – 7:10 PM CT May 3, 2025 – Cubs at Brewers – 6:10 PM CT May 4, 2025 – Cubs at Brewers – 1:10 PM CT View full article

Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 4-2 (Overall: 12-10) Run Scored Last Week: 31 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 17 Standing: 2nd in NL Central (1.5 GB) *** Game 12 (4/14) | DET 9, MIL 1 Game 13 (4/15) | MIL 5, DET 0 Game 14 (4/16) | MIL 5, DET 1 Game 15 (4/18) | MIL 5, A's 3 Game 16 (4/19) | A's 3, MIL 1 Game 17 (4/20) | MIL 14, A's 1 *** Transactions: 04/18/25 - Sent RHP Brandon Woodruff on a rehab assignment to Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. 04/18/25 - Recalled 2B Caleb Durbin from Nashville Sounds. 04/17/25 - Optioned 3B Oliver Dunn to Nashville Sounds. 04/15/25 - Optioned RHP Elvin Rodriguez to Nashville Sounds. 04/15/25 - Recalled RHP Logan Henderson from Nashville Sounds. Breakdown / Highlights It wasn't the start to the week the Brewers wanted, as they fell 9-1 to open the homestand against Detroit, dominated by reigning Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal—who threw seven scoreless and struck out nine in the Tigers' win. However, Milwaukee would bounce back in the final two games of the series, using effective starts from newcomers Jose Quintana and Quinn Priester to claim the match. As the week shifted to a weekend series against what had previously been the best road team in baseball, the Brewers kept the pedal down and gave the A's the same treatment they offered the Tigers. This time, the spark came from two players who had never played anywhere in the majors before. The first was Caleb Durbin, making his debut and immediately affecting the game in all three phases: hitting, baserunning, and defense. In the 14-1 win on Sunday, it was Logan Henderson stealing headlines from the offense, as he pitched six innings of one-run ball while racking up nine strikeouts. Oh, and the Brewers also set a franchise record for stolen bases in a game on Sunday. Looking Ahead: April 21, 2025 - Brewers at Giants - 8:45 PM CT April 22, 2025 - Brewers at Giants - 8:45 PM CT April 23, 2025 - Brewers at Giants - 8:45 PM CT April 24, 2025 - Brewers at Giants - 2:45 PM CT April 25, 2025 - Brewers at Cardinals - 7:15 PM CT April 26, 2025 - Brewers at Cardinals - 1:15 PM CT April 27, 2025 - Brewers at Cardinals - 1:15 PM CT This is a tough little week on the road, but the Cardinals aren't playing well and the Giants are the least formidable of the NL West's four contenders. The Brewers will miss Justin Verlander, though at this stage of his career, it's not completely clear whether that's good news or bad.

The Brewers played six games at home last week, winning two series over the Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics, and improving to 4-0 in home sets.

Breakdown / Highlights Now that the disastrous four-game start to the season seems to be light years behind the Brewers, the strengths on all sides of the ball for the Brewers are beginning to show. Victims of that all-rounded effort were the woeful Colorado Rockies, who scored just three runs, surrendered 24, and committed five errors in the first two games against Milwaukee to start the week. The Rockies would nab the series finale with a late five-run outburst before Milwaukee would head to Arizona. Against the Diamondbacks, game one would see Jose Quintana make his Brewers debut and proceed to join a shortlist of names to throw seven scoreless innings in their first game in Brewer blue. Games two and three of the series would see much of the same efforts from the starters, but the bullpen faltered. After another scoreless start from Chad Patrick on Saturday, Trevor Megill and Joel Payamps surrendered five runs in the bottom of the 9th in a 5-4 D-Backs win. The next day, a William Contreras two-run homer in the first was all Milwaukee could manage against the Arizona Ace Zac Gallen. After 5.1 innings of two-run ball from Freddy Peralta, the bullpen once again fell victim to the comeback kids in Arizona, with Bryan Hudson surrendering his first run of the season in the loss. Here are a few varied highlights from the weekend if you need to wipe the sour taste from your mouth: Meanwhile, on Brewer Fanatic, be sure to check out: Where Milwaukee stands at 3B, some of the numbers behind Turang's hot offensive start, and Did the Brewers Trade Devin Williams at the right time?

Brewers Week In Review: Brice's Bat (& The Brewers) Bounce Back
Kyle Ginsbach posted an article in Brewers
Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 5-2 (Overall: 5-5 ) Run Scored Last Week: 28 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 28 Standing: 2nd in NL Central *** Game 4 (3.31) | KC 11, MIL 1 Game 5 (4.1) | MIL 5, KC 0 Game 6 (4.2) | MIL 3, KC 2 Game 7 (4.3) | MIL 1, CIN 0 Game 8 (4.4) | MIL 3, CIN 2 Game 9 (4.5) | CIN 11, C MIL 7 Game 10 (4.6) | MIL 8, CIN 2 *** Transactions: 04/06/25 - Placed LHP Nestor Cortes on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow flexor strain. Move retroactive to April 4, 2025. 04/06/25 - Activated LHP Grant Wolfram. 04/06/25 - Recalled LHP Grant Wolfram from Nashville Sounds. 04/01/25 - Activated RHP Abner Uribe. 04/01/25 - Sent RHP Nick Mears on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds. 03/31/25 - Placed RHP Aaron Civale on the 15-day injured list and strained left hamstring. 03/31/25 - Recalled RHP Grant Anderson from Nashville Sounds. Breakdown / Highlights After a dreadful 0-3 start to the season, The Brewers set course back to winning ways by winning five of their seven games to get to .500. It was a week that lived and died by the pitching, with the offense finding their stride over the weekend. Unfortunately, the Brewers rotation is seemingly down to just one healthy regular, as Nestor Cortes and Aaron Civale both landed on the injured list last week. That leaves Freddy Peralta as the only man left in the rotation who was expected to be there. In the meantime, the Brewers have found something in rookie Chad Patrick. He, Elvin Rodriguez, and Connor Thomas, are eating innings for Pat Murphy. As time progresses, Milwaukee expects Jose Quintana, Tobias Myers, and Brandon Woodruff to be ready for action within the next six weeks, while the injury stints for Cortes and Civale look short-lived. On the offensive side, the Brewers haven’t received the production they relied on a year ago. Christian Yelich and William Contreras find themselves batting well below the Mendoza line. Contreras had a 0-20 streak last week, which he snapped on Saturday before an off day on Sunday. Sal Frelick found himself swinging a hot stick on the flip side of success. He’s already collected 14 hits on the young season and boasts a .452 OBP. As for some more traditional highlights: Jackson Chourio’s second home run of the day: In the same week that Brice Turang received his Platinum Glove and extended his hit streak to 10 games, he also picked up a walk-off bunt. 3 Stars of the Week Brice Turang (10-29, BB, SB, 2B, HR, 3 RBI) Chad Patrick (10 IP, 5 H, ER, 9 K) Jackson Chourio (10-29, 3 2B, 3 HR, 7 RBI) Looking Ahead: April 8, 2025 - Brewers vs. Rockies - 7:40 PM April 9, 2025 - Brewers vs. Rockies - 7:40 PM April 10, 2025 - Brewers vs. Rockies - 2:10 PM April 11, 2025 - Brewers vs. Diamondbacks - 8:40 PM April 12, 2025 - Brewers vs. Diamondbacks - 7:10 PM April 13, 2025 - Brewers vs. Diamondbacks - 3:10 PM-

The primary victims of that barrage were starter Nestor Cortes and major league debutant Connor Thomas, who were both tagged with giving up eight runs. On the more positive side, the Brewers’ offense found some success of their own. Most notably, Sal Frelick had a solid weekend, picking up five hits, while Brice Turang, Vinny Capra, and Jake Bauers put the ball over the fence. Of those who struggled, was the Brewers' top of the order. On Opening Day, Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich, and William Contreras went a combined 0-15, including Chourio’s first career 5 (and 4) strikeout game. Lastly, newly minted Gold Glover Sal Frelick makes a diving grab: Looking Ahead: March 31, 2025 – Kansas City Royals @ Milwaukee Brewers – 1:10 PM CT April 1, 2025 – Kansas City Royals @ Milwaukee Brewers – 6:40 PM CT April 2, 2025 – Kansas City Royals @ Milwaukee Brewers – 12:10 PM CT April 3, 2025 – Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers – 6:40 PM CT April 4, 2025 – Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers – 7:10 PM CT April 5, 2025 – Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers – 6:10 PM CT April 6, 2025 – Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers – 1:10 PM CT

As spring training continues for the Brewers in Arizona, they've found themselves on a bit of a winning streak. Here's a recap, if you missed any of last week's action. Image courtesy of © Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 7-0 (Overall: 13-9) Run Scored Last Week: 56 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 22 Standing: 5th in Cactus Leauge *** Game 18 (3/10) | MIL 7, SEA 5 Game 19 (3/11) | MIL 9, CHC 7 Game 20 (3/13) | MIL 9, CHW 3 Game 21 (3/14) | MIL 11, SF 5 Game 22 (3/15) | MIL 8, OAK 0 Game 23 (3/15) | MIL 4, LAA 0 Game 24 (3/16) | MIL 8, CLE 2 Spring Breakout (3/16) | CIN Prospects 9, MIL Prospects 7 *** Transactions There were no injury transactions this week, but you can find the numerous moves optioning players to the Triple-A roster and reassigning them to minor-league camp here. However, there are some setbacks that pitchers Nick Mears and Tobias Myers suffered last week, throwing into doubt their availability for Opening Day. Breakdown / Highlights Sal Frelick hit just two home runs all of last season. He’s hit two this spring, and he's looking like someone put Jim Thome in the washer on the wrong setting. (That's a compliment.) Staying with the theme of things that you love to see, how about Brandon Woodruff picking up a strikeout in his long-awaited return to the mound? Meanwhile, around Brewer Fanatic, we haven’t ceased to continue speculating about the Opening Day roster, including who might get the last spots in the bullpen, and the surprising problem the Brewers have in left field. Between that, though, there were a few players who continued their blazing hot spring campaigns—most notably Rhys Hoskins, who popped his sixth homer, as well as Craig Yoho continuing to put up zeroes. Even old friend Mark Canha got in on the fun, popping his first Brewers homer since his return to the organization. Looking Ahead: March 17 – Brewers @ Padres – 3:10 PM CT March 18 – Brewers @ Mariners – 3:10 PM CT March 19 – White Sox @ Brewers – 3:10 PM CT March 21 – Diamondbacks @ Brewers – 8:10 PM CT March 22 – Brewers @ Athletics – 3:05 PM CT March 23 – Rockies @ Brewers – 3:10 PM CT (Split Squad) March 23 – Brewers @ Mariners – 3:10 PM CT (Split Squad) View full article

The Brewers continued action in the Cactus League last week, with only a bit of rain to slow them down. Here's a quick recap, if you missed any of the action. Image courtesy of © Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 2-4 (Overall: 6-9) Run Scored Last Week: 23 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 26 Standing: 12th in Cactus Leauge *** Game 11 (3/3) | CIN 5, MIL 4 Game 12 (3/5) | MIL 3, CHW 2 Game 13 (3/5) | CHW 8, MIL 2 Game 14 (3/6) | MIL 10, OAK 0 Game 15 (3/7) | Game Canceled Game 16 (3/8) | LAA 6, MIL 2 Game 17 (3/9) | KC 5, MIL 2 *** Transactions: 03/05/25 - Placed LHP DL Hall on the 60-day injured list with a left lat strain. 03/05/25 - Milwaukee Brewers signed and subsequently activated free agent LHP Jose Quintana. 3/05/25 - Signed free agent RHP Gustavo Garcia to a minor-league contract. Breakdown / Highlights In what is the second full week of Brewers baseball returning, Caleb Durbin and Vinny Capra built on their hot starts to the Spring with back-to-back home runs against Cincinnati. That offensive start would slow though, as the Brewers would go on to lose Monday's contest 5-4, potentially something that could highlight the injuries piling up in the Milwaukee pitching staff. On the positive side of the mound, Craig Yoho has continued to dominate in Cactus League action. On Thursday, the Brewers prospect hurled two innings, striking out four, all without surrendering a base runner. His ERA remains at a flat 0 heading into next week, and even though Yoho might still be a long shot for the Opening Day roster, don't think his number won't be called this season. On the very same day, Jacob Misiorowski built on a bit of a disappointing first outing by tossing three perfect innings against the Athletics, striking out three. The day before, two of last season's staples (Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers) kicked off their spring campaigns by hurling three scoreless innings of their own. Myers struck out three and gave up no hits, while Peralta surrounded a pair of knocks but struck out four. The Brewers took the road half of a split-squad doubleheader against the White Sox 3-2, but fell in the home leg, 8-2. Back on the offensive side, Christian Yelich looks to be feeling his best in years. No more notes needed: And lastly, if you're looking for other player-specific content, be sure to check out these subtleties Freddy Peralta has tinkered with this spring, or why it might be worth bookmarking the September stretch.

At long last, Milwaukee Brewers baseball is back for another season. So, with that, your weekly recaps at Brewer Fanatic have returned as well. Rejoice! That aside, here's how the Brewers fared in the first week(ish) of Cactus League action. Image courtesy of © Curt Hogg / USA TODAY NETWORK Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week(ish): 5-5 (5-5 overall) Runs Scored: 65 Runs Surrendered: 77 Standing: 8th in Cactus League *** Game 1 (2/22) | MIL 8, CIN 7 Game 2 (2/23) | COL 6, MIL 1 Game 3 (2/24) | SEA 12, MIL 8 Game 4 (2/25) | MIL 9, CLE 6 Game 5 (2/26) | LAD 9, MIL 3 (Split Squad) Game 6 (2/26) | AZ 7, MIL 1 (Split Squad) Game 7 (2/27) | MIL 12, KC 5 Game 8 (2/28) | SF 9, MIL 2 Game 9 (3/1) | MIL 9, TEX 4 Game 10 (3/2) | MIL 12, CLE 12 *** Transactions 02/23/25 - Signed free agent LF Manuel Margot to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. 02/24/25 - Signed free agent OF/1B Mark Canha to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. **Ijury transactions have not yet been made official as of 3/2, but note that OF Blake Perkins will almost assuredly be placed on the IL at some point. Breakdown / Highlights As is a normality with spring training baseball, coverage of any team can be limited. On the topic of scarcity, playing time for major league regulars also comes in smaller amounts, especially within the first ten days. In turn, that opens the door of opportunity for others, and there be no better example than the hot start 28-year-old Vinny Capra is off to. Through six games for the third basemen, Capra is slashing .357/.357/1.000 and has notched three home runs and 7 RBIs through just 14 at-bats. On the other side of torrid hitting, veteran first baseman Rhys Hoskins is finding early success in his rebound campaign, totaling three big flys in his four games played. All that has begun to stir up talks surrounding the Brewers infield, particularly around the need for Tyler Black on the big league club, especially with players like Oliver Dunn showing signs of improvement as well: Meanwhile, on the mound, one Brewer has caught attention for his hot start. In just his third season of professional baseball Craig Yoho has already conjured up rumblings of a potential roster invitee with the help of his wicked changeup, and a five-strikeout, three inning workload early on into the spring. Fellow highly touted prospect Jacob Misiorowski also made his spring debut as well, showing his raw talent as well as the steps he needs to take before he's ready for the big league club. Excitement around the future is all fun and dandy, but what about players looking to make comebacks? On that front three notable Brewers all made strides in the right direction last week. You can read more about Bryan Hudson's time on the mound here, while Aaron Ashby was sitting in the upper 90s for his fastball velocity in his outing early in the week; a positive sign from the Brewers left, no doubt. Most notably, Christian Yelich, who was injured as the Brewers got sent home by the Mets last year was back in the lineup for a live game for the first time in over six months. You could even include new Brewers Nestor Cortes, as he made his Cactus League debut in what's looking to be a make-or-break season for the former Yankee.

A Small Ode to Bob Uecker: Moving Forward Without Mr. Baseball
Kyle Ginsbach posted an article in Brewers
We’re sort of in the quiet moment of my involvement with Brewer Fanatic. Between the offseason being a quiet one for Milwaukee, the sting of the playoff loss, the start of my final semester of college firing up, and the hockey season at my university being in full swing, I’m not afraid to admit that Brewers baseball hasn’t been at the front of my mind lately. But, through a cruel twist of fate and a simple fact of life, that changed this morning. More specifically, Bob Uecker, and all the memories associated with that name, are at the front of my mind. Like so many others, I have numerous recollections of hearing Bob through the radio. It’s so many things; tales of players young and old, his advocacy for Usinger's, or his famous, self-deprecating reflections on his own playing career, Bob Uecker brought the game of baseball to life like no one else. Now, I’m sure you’ll hear similar testimonials roll in as the news continues to spread. It's a testament to how much the man is loved, even outside of baseball. In fact, it’s important to remember that Bob’s reach was far beyond the game; he was a comedian, an actor, and a spokesperson. To this day, I still quote the famed “I must be in the front row” Miller Lite commercial with my buddies, as well as various lines from the Major League movies, despite not even being born when any of that media first aired. Maybe I’m dating myself a bit when I say that. You’re not going to find many 21-year-olds who have fond memories of listening to baseball games on the radio when they were growing up. It’s a digital age, and most of my generation probably found themselves tuning into TV broadcasts alongside Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but to understand what Bob Uecker was, at least to me, you must realize that as a kid, Bob Uecker was how I wanted to consume Brewers baseball. I didn’t want the Fox Sports Wisconsin cable package, I asked my Dad for a radio I could put in my room. I didn’t want to listen to music on the car rides to my grandparents; I wanted to listen to Bob Uecker. So, while that may have started to fade when I went to college (with that very same radio I begged my Dad for sitting in the bedroom of my childhood home collecting dust), my appreciation for Uecker grew in different ways. As I began to study at my university; as I found myself living with two different play-by-play broadcasters; and as I got involved with radio myself, I came to respect Ueck not only as a fan, but as someone beginning to study the very thing I admired him for in the first place. I saw that the voice of Brewers baseball was simply unmatched. That conclusion, which maybe I’ve only pieced together fully now, does invite a question. How does one capture the life of Bob Uecker? How does one even capture what he meant to them? He’s in the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame, the Radio Hall of Fame, the NSMA Hall of Fame, and as a Ford C. Frick Award winner, he's immortalized in Cooperstown. He's been the voice in the background of different family events, a daily constant for every summer I can remember, and the sound behind one of the first things I can remember bonding over with my Dad. I would dare say that, to me, Bob Uecker wasn't even someone I looked up to, he was someone who was always at the metaphorical eye level, someone who met you where you were with his words, and as a Wisconsinite, it's hard to think of anyone else that made me more proud to be from where I'm from. He transcended being a hero. He truly felt like he was always one of us, no matter how popular, how famous, or how in-demand he got. Bob Uecker was Wisconsin through and through, and there's no way to describe how much that means unless you grew up here. Bob Uecker means a lot to me, and he means a lot to thousands of others. No single person can encapsulate everything he’s done, but everyone can (or will) see the number of people he’s touched. I am but one of those people, so while I sit here throwing together a couple hundred words and doing my damnedest to put his importance to me into words, this’ll never do his impact on me justice, and it’ll never sound exactly how I want it to. But that’s ok. You and I are but a blip on the radar. Most of us never met the man, but all of us of found ourselves enthralled by Wisconsin’s very own sound of summer. My words don’t even scratch the surface, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being able to summarize his importance on the day of his passing would feel wrong, and as time continues to move, I'm sure others will fill in the gaps. Besides, I’ll always carry what he meant to me. I guarantee it. As fickle as being a sports fan is, life was more enjoyable, less stressful, and all-around better with Uecker on the mic for Brewers baseball. I guess that's the natural conclusion I was looking for as I wrote—a common fact that you and I now realize. We both know life without Mr. Baseball won't be the same. Bob, we'll miss you more than you could ever imagine.
