Image courtesy of Brewer Fanatic Transactions: UTL Eddys Leonard placed on the Nashville Temporary Inactive List INF/OF Daniel Guilarte sent on rehab assignment from Wisconsin Timber Rattlers to ACL Brewers Milwaukee Brewers signed free agent RHP Yancarlos Vasquez to a minor league contract. Milwaukee Brewers signed free agent RHP Deivy Gonzalez to a minor league contract. Milwaukee Brewers signed free agent LHP Noel Cepeda to a minor league contract. The Temporarily Inactive List is "a designated status for players who are unavailable to render active service due to excused personal obligations, family emergencies, or brief absences" (per MiLB). A player must spend a minimum of 3 days on the list. We hope all is well with Leonard, but we often don't learn the circumstances around TIL absences, which is fair. Guilarte had last played on April 24th. The bit of info we have on the young pitchers can be found here. These teenagers are just a tad bit older than the norm signed back as part of the January 2026 international class. So, they had made strides since that time, caught the Brewers eye, and Milwaukee determined there was room in the organization to slot them in. FYI - the Phillies had recently traded some of their Dominican Summer League talent, deciding to pare back from two DSL teams to one. The Brewers clearly aren't anywhere near that type of decision. Speaking of the DSL, the season opens Monday morning. On Saturday, the Brewers formally finalized their two rosters, with all the new additions since January 2026 to the present assigned, and other players repeating the league, but migrating between the "Blue" and "Gold" rosters noted. You can view those transactions here. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 8, Gwinnett (Braves) 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Deliver a Backyard Beatdown to Take Series over Stripers - Zamora Collects Four RBI to Back Pannone's Quality Start The other Brewers' affiliates do fine jobs on their game summaries, but across MiLB, it's tough to top what the Sounds compose on a daily basis. Touching on and following up some of the paragraphs from this game's report: 21-year-old Cooper Pratt on base four times to lift his OBP to .364, why yes, please. Reaching base 33 times via BB/HBP vs. just 31 K's, why yes again, thank you. We all agree that MLB and AAA pitching staffs are two very different animals, but there are certain skills that translate easier than others, and Pratt's skillset should migrate nicely. It won't dazzle, but much will carry over to the highest level. If you think Pratt's plate discipline and avoidance of the dreaded strikeout is something, then remind yourself that Luis Lara has now received 40 free BB/HBP passes and has fanned only 31 times. The fellow 21-year-old is three months younger than Pratt, and it has to be a near-lock that no other organization has two 21-year-old's performing as well at the AAA level. It's getting easier to picture 32-year-old veteran LHP Thomas Pannone (50 MLB games, including 13 starts) being inserted into the Brewers rotation at some point this season to help navigate upcoming long stretches without days off. Of course, his out-of-options status complicates things, but should rotation thinning continue via injury / ineffectiveness, keep this in mind. I've been adamant that the Brewers will go the "ride-or-die to the end" route with William Contreras, just as they did with Willy Adames. It'd be impossible to replace via trade (one year's service time) what Contreras brings to the team. I'm not one for shooting down others' conversation topics, but whether it's national media or your buddy at the gym, please quickly dismiss their trade thoughts on Contreras this winter and set them straight, regardless of what Jeferson Quero is accomplishing. Three games and counting since we last saw Brock Wilken. Did you notice the four former members of the Brewers organization who saw action for Gwinnett Saturday? That's one way to make sure you review the box score. Poor Freddy Zamora, it's taken us this long to highlight you on the video review level: Kudos, Gwinnett social media team (sound up). Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final Game One, Biloxi 9, Columbus (Braves) 4, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Final Game Two, Biloxi 5, Columbus 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log DeBerry's First Career Complete Game Shutout Leads Shuckers to Sweep - DeBerry records 11th complete game shutout in franchise history, 1st in career since 2021 in junior college Like the linked game summary, we'll visit things chronologically. Third Game One hit for Jesús Made, the 7th time this season with 3+ hits - With boppers Blake Burke and Damon Keith sidelined again for the day (both games), an impressive offensive output, to be sure. The thing about Saturday absences is that they often morph into Sunday sit-outs as well, in order to take advantage of Monday's rest day. Just as was the case in Nashville's game, everyone in the lineup reached base at least once. We mentioned age 21 as a key in the Sounds' write-up above. Let's remember that RHP Bishop Letson will also be just 21 years old for the entirety of this season. Making his first appearance in two weeks, if Letson's break was a fine-tuning reset, it was successful for the most part, no earned runs over five-and-a-third innings. Of his six baserunners allowed, four were via the walk. Even so, consider this a good step. Heck, Brandon Sproat is 25 years old. Is it possible to picture Letson even further along than Sproat in four years' time? Sure, though hopefully that timeline can be quickened a bit. My point is patience with Letson is needed. As for Game Two (nice Trey Supak reference in the summary, by the way), keep in mind this was Mike Boeve's 11th appearance at first base (9th start) this season. If his glove even tips this a tiny bit as it scoots into right field, we're talking a no-hitter: So, how's that 2024 3rd round bonus money spent on DeBerry look now (just $25,000 as a senior sign out of Dallas Baptist, allowing for bonus pool manipulation with the other picks). Completely disregard the current 4.84 ERA, the Brewers know what they have in DeBerry. Will it get to the point that the team petitions MLB to lower-case Jaron's "D" as in "deGrom"? Oh, that would be sweet. 22-year-old Dylan O'Rae singled and walked twice. You may win a pub bet by asking who has the higher OPS as of this morning, O'Rae or Jesús Made? Successful once and not successful once, O'Rae is 29-for-35 in SB attempts. Speaking of Mr. Made, we love it when the Voice of the Shuckers takes a team tweet and enhances it: Other highlights are available via the team's 'X' feed, including an Eric Brown, Jr. effort in center field that earns a 9.5 in Olympic scoring for the catch and a 10.0 for the subsequent tumbling routine. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Peoria (Cardinals) 8, Wisconsin 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Peoria’s Two-Out Rally in Sixth Sinks Wisconsin - Chiefs score five runs with two outs to take 8-1 lead The video package supplements your game summary - That Luis Pena play is worth another look - This was RH reliever Ayendy Bravo's second appearance for Wisconsin, and first in nine days. In only his age 19 season, Bravo opened the season with five appearances for Wilson, making his full-season ball debut, whereupon he was shifted back to Maryvale. Bravo would make three brief appearances there before he was brought to Wisconsin at the time when giving up football scores (high football scores, actually) was becoming the norm for the Timber Rattlers. Bravo mixed in a balk and pitch timer violation into his less-than-ideal line. Should the Dominican native be in Appleton at this time? Not really, but the roster juggling act is a dance. We can all agree that his surname is going to be awesome to yell out at Am-Fam Field someday should his career path land him there. Pretty much everything after the first four pitches of the game for Jason Woodward was pretty darn good. With Jacob Misiorowski on the hill for the Brewers Sunday, and his bobblehead set as Sunday's giveaway for the T-Rats, it's worth posting Voice of the Rattlers Chris Mehring's two-tweet combo here: 16-7 away record, 9-15 at home, really? Odd... Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Myrtle Beach (Cubs) 7, Wilson 5 Box Score and Game Log Pelicans Rally Late to Sink Warbirds - Three-run Eighth Dooms Wilson Good for Filippo Di Turi here, his lone hit of the game: Do you know what was also good for the 20-year-old Venezuela native? His January 2023 $1.3 million signing bonus. The only real advancement Di Turi has made over a poor 2025 Mudcats season is on the basepaths, 13-for-14 this season, an unsightly 6-for-14 last summer. One hopes Di Turi and his advisors invested wisely, and I guess it's invisible within clubhouse dynamics for the most part (it's a sensitive topic, so it's not surprising we never hear it mentioned in various player or administration interviews), but it must be tough to ignore among teammates that certain players received massive windfalls, absolutely life-changing money. Seeking more positives? How about RBI singles for Luis Lameda and Brady Ebel? Lameda Ebel Tyler Rodriguez has reached via walk or HBP 15 times in 12 Warbird games this season. It's been a minute since we checked on Jose Anderson's strikeout percentage, it's "down" to 41.9%. Final: ACL Reds 6, ACL Brewers 4 Box Score and Game Log NOTE: Huge thanks to my fellow Link Reporter "Ro" for this Maryvale writeup. Two untimely errors resulted in 3 unearned runs allowed, as the Zona Crew (10-12) dropped their 9-inning, 11:00 AM home contest to the ACL Reds 6-4, despite outhitting them 6-3. OF Brailyn Antunez (1-for-3, walk) was back in the starting lineup after exiting Thursday’s game early and the game started well with rehabbing RHP Daniel Corniel's 1-2-3 first inning and DH Luke Adams’ homer (his 3rd in four games; 2-for-4, HR, walk, 2 RBIs, SB today) to lead off the bottom of the 1st inning. However, a two-out dropped fly ball to left field allowed two runs against Corniel (2 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 2 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks), then 4 walks, 1 HBP and 1 balk issued by 19-year old RHP Dariel Jaquez (2 1/3 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 2 Ks) helped push the deficit to 4-1. Down 6-1 late, the first three Brewers reached in a two-run eighth inning (2 walks, Adams’ RBI single), then C Freider Rojas (1-for-3, walk) delivered a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the 9th inning to cut the deficit to 6-4. Adams followed with a seven-pitch walk, but 18-year-old 3B Yu-Lin Liao (0-for-3 today; 2-for-25 in his short career to date) flew out to end it. The game had a funny way of finding Liao, who entered as a substitute for rehabbing SS Daniel Guilarte (K, BB in his first game since April 24), as he committed a run-scoring error in the 8th inning and also struck out for the team’s first out in the bottom half of that frame. RHPs Jhosep Ospino (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K) and Argenis Aparicio (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 0 Ks) were solid in relief to give the comeback a chance, while RHP Josue Toledo struggled a bit with control (1 1/3 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 0 H, 3 BB, 2 Ks). 2B CJ Hughes had a productive game (1-for-3, walk, 2 SBs) and Rojas gunned down 2 of 3 attempted basestealers. Our young men in Arizona have an off day tomorrow but return to action at the ACL Dodgers (8-14) on Monday at 8:00 PM CST. Afternoon action everywhere except in Myrtle Beach, home of their outstanding center field camera and gamebug with radar readings. Head over to your MLB.TV app at 5:35 Central to catch the early evening action there. Happy Sunday Funday, everyone!

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic If reading this report on Saturday AM, there's still time to get questions in to @Spencer Michaelis and longtime Brewers minor league Instagrammer of note "@BrewersFarm" for what should be an awesome new addition to the BrewerFanatic family of podcasts. Think of it as an extended 'Minor League Sandbox', we're all looking forward to it (recording today, Saturday). Speaking of Spencer, be sure to read his latest: Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers sent LHP Jared Koenig on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds. Nashville Sounds placed LF Greg Jones on the 7-day injured list. Nashville Sounds activated C Eric Martinez from the Development List. Wilson Warbirds activated RHP Miqueas Mercedes from the 7-day injured list. ACL Brewers placed SS Moises Polanco on the 7-day injured list. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 4, Gwinnett (Braves) 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Win Second Straight over Gwinnett Another fine write-up from the Sounds, highly suggested. For those exasperated with the Luis Rengifo experience, we check in on Jett Williams, batting 5th in the lineup and only getting three at-bats in this home game win. It was this 91 MPH line single into center, nicely done, that scored the final (and deciding) run of the game. In the nearly complete month of May, Williams has posted a .253/.383/.425 line (.808 OPS), though the 22-year-old has only one multi-hit game in his last ten, and the knock you just watched was his first base hit in four games. In other words, not exactly banging the door down to immediately provide Brewers fans with much-needed Rengifo relief. Brock Wilken was idle for a second consecutive game - he's slugging .254 in May; that's not a misprint. Along with Robert Gasser (much mentioned in the game summary and seen here) and Koenig, it was a continued southpaw brigade with Drew Rom and Brian Fitzpatrick. Would love to see Fitzpatrick focus on multi-inning work, as that seems to be the priority working so well in the big-league bullpen. That value still has me thinking that Rob Zastryzny (idle in this one) doesn't have a true fit in Milwaukee and will be biding time as two weeks remain on his 30-day rehab stint capped length. As for the two runs Gasser allowed, it was hardly a barrage. On this play, you'll see how left fielder Eddys Leonard's error set up Gasser's second run to be unearned, and here you'll see a broken bat flair brought in that unearned run. So, a solid night for Bob Gas overall. Old friend Brewer Hicklen was 0-for-4, with two K's, but YTD he's at .335/.410/.542, impressive four-A player he is. Sorry for making you wait, Ramon, here's your big fly: Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Biloxi 9, Columbus (Braves) 3 Box Score and Game Log Shuckers Tie Franchise Record for Stolen Bases in Win Over Clingstones - Eight Stolen Base Evening for Biloxi Clinches Win in Columbus The southern-based fans in Nashville and Biloxi do love themselves the Atlanta Braves franchise, so the two wins to kick off our report tonight may sting the locals some. Plenty of offense-minded content in that game summary, but perhaps this is the most important takeaway: "Shuckers starter Brett Wichrowski (6.0 IP, 5 K) worked into the sixth inning for the third straight start and has punched out 19 batters over those three appearances." Wichrowski's still in just his age 23 season, and we should remember his professional experience below the AA level consists of only his first four starts, kicking off the 2024 season with the Timber Rattlers. Count me among those who feel the righthander's development trajectory may have been different if he had been allowed to simmer longer in Appleton that summer. Regardless, nice to see recent results, though he did walk four here (walks have not been an issue season-to-date). Right-fielder Damon Keith and his .925 OPS last played on Saturday the 23rd. Circumstances for Darrien Miller - this could only happen because there were two outs: In some skillset ways, Mike Boeve is set to become the new Tyler Black, minus Black's 40-man roster status. LH bat, LF/1B/3B but no set home, and given Black's out-of-options situation for 2027, we'll be viewing Boeve in Black terms next spring. Those May numbers, by the way - .299/.353/.455. Boeve's first RBI in this game was hardly scorched but did the job (video). Speaking of doing the job, if you're a sacrifice fly fan, watch Matthew Wood's fly to center and Eduardo Garcia's fly to right. Three Shuckers were plunked in this game, all lived to talk about it. A player who did exit early, however, was first baseman Blake Burke. Burke led off the 5th with a double, pulling a sharp line drive to right. Take another look at that Boeve RBI video above, Burke was hit by the thrown ball as he slid across home plate. He popped right up, trotting to the dugout, but he did not re-enter on defense in the bottom half of the inning. Glad you're feeling better, Jesus Made (no more illness)! Hitless Friday, but contributing, as your box score review indicated.

The game summary has your primary details, then translate that reading into what you'll see here, including Andrew Fischer's oh-so-close attempt to tie things up in the 10th. Manager Nick Stanley is the guest on Chris and Jonathan's Postgame Podcast. Luis Pena idle after easing back into action. Josh Adamczewski was scheduled for a night off but was called on to pinch-hit in the 10th. He was the victim of a checked swing that was called a full swing, wasn't happy about it. We are still on Braylon Payne watch, no new info. It may have been mentioned in recent broadcasts, but we haven't picked up on that yet. Speaking of the broadcast, I paused the big-league Brewers game on the DVR, pulled up the final two innings of the Rattlers, and projected those innings from my phone onto the big-screen TV in my living room. My 2001 Rookie Link Reporter self would not have believed the comfort and technological progress in following the farm in 2026. Deserved shoutout to Great Britain WBC RHP Jack Seppings - stranded an Ethan Dorchies runner to end the 6th and took it the rest of the way (zero walks). The one earned run against him was weak, as catcher David Garcia mishandled Eric Bitonti's (admittedly low) throw at the plate in the 10th. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Myrtle Beach (Cubs) 11, Wilson 10 Box Score and Game Log Wilson Rally Comes Up Short on Friday Night - Warbirds leave bases loaded in ninth inning Ah yes, first time I get to see if I can spell "Myrtle" correctly out of the gate. Sometimes a Link Reporter is getting towards the back end of his daily duties hoping to coast into the home stretch with a couple of low-scoring contests and then realizes that the Wilson and Maryvale games produced a combined 36 runs. Sigh.... Thought the Pelicans might have posted that nerve-wracking final out, Pedro Ibarguen's six-pitch at-bat ending in a strikeout, but no. Handelfry Encarnacion's two-out, two-run triple in the 4th was a bit of a gift to his season stats, as the outfielder obliged: Kevin Garcia's two-run double in the 7th also came with two outs: We see you, Tyler Rodriguez, on base all five times up and three successful stolen base attempts. Rodriguez, playing left field, singled twice and walked thrice. Brady Ebel walked twice and was also hit by a pitch. Ebel is inching his walk total (37) closer to his K total (41), while remaining a perfect 19-for-19 on the basepaths. Rylan Mills (designated hitter) also reached three times without a knock, three bases on balls. Those were among the 12 walks earned by Wilson. Encarnacion has played 35 games in right field, six in center, and his 5th error of the season and first in center did occur Friday. Starting pitcher Miqueas Mercedes danced around baserunners to allow one run in his two-inning injured list return after a month away. RHP Jarrette Bonet's game log for May will reveal a tough month outside of his stellar bulk relief outing last time out. As you might imagine, all told, there are 13 MiLB video clips archived, five at the Warbirds site and eight at the Pelicans' locale. Nearly 4,800 on hand at the beach, impressive. Final: ACL Brewers 8, ACL Mariners 7, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log From earlier this week, thanks to my fellow Link Reporter "Ro" for bringing this to our attention, it's an excellent read, actually a must-read for diehards: Concern about quality of ACL/FCL play and impact on young player development: What a 29-2 score says about the state of low-level minor-league baseball — and why MLB fans should care As for this shortened game, first this: Center fielder Brailyn Antunez missed his first game of the season (infielder Cristopher Acosta is now the lone Maryvale everyday iron man). As Ro wrote in the Link Report for Thursday's games: Hopefully the victory did not come at a cost, as DH/OF Brailyn Antunez exited one inning after being hit-by-pitch. The A-Crew knocked out four home runs, perhaps the one most of note being rehabbing Luke Adams' 2nd Arizona League blast in his three desert games. 19-year-old RF Engel Paulino remained hot, with two solo home runs Friday, now 5-for-his-last-13 with another home run within that span. CF Kenny Fenelon had the other long ball, his 4th. Maryvale scored five in the 5th to overcome a 4-1 deficit and maintained the tight lead the rest of the way, with additional runs scored by each club. Two Brewers errors in the final inning added to the drama. Nashville fans following rehabbing RHP Gerson Garabito's progress (broken bone in his foot) will see a scoreless 4th (a two-out double), in his 3rd scoreless Arizona outing. Soon-to-be 19-year-old RH starter Hayden Vucinovich struck out seven in three innings of work but only walked two. He's now at 14 BB and 15 K in 9.2 innings (that's lots of pitches!). This is one of those games where you review the play-by-play game log, pretend you're there, are actually entertained depending on your virtual imagination level. Six games on tap for Saturday with the Biloxi road twinbill, they get underway at 4:05 Central. Everyone else is under the lights, with the exception of the usual Maryvale Saturday 1:00 Central matinee. Enjoy your day, all!

If reading this report on Saturday AM, there's still time to get questions in to @Spencer Michaelis and longtime Brewers minor league Instagrammer of note "@BrewersFarm" for what should be an awesome new addition to the BrewerFanatic family of podcasts. Think of it as an extended 'Minor League Sandbox', we're all looking forward to it (recording today, Saturday). Speaking of Spencer, be sure to read his latest: Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers sent LHP Jared Koenig on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds. Nashville Sounds placed LF Greg Jones on the 7-day injured list. Nashville Sounds activated C Eric Martinez from the Development List. Wilson Warbirds activated RHP Miqueas Mercedes from the 7-day injured list. ACL Brewers placed SS Moises Polanco on the 7-day injured list. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 4, Gwinnett (Braves) 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Win Second Straight over Gwinnett Another fine write-up from the Sounds, highly suggested. For those exasperated with the Luis Rengifo experience, we check in on Jett Williams, batting 5th in the lineup and only getting three at-bats in this home game win. It was this 91 MPH line single into center, nicely done, that scored the final (and deciding) run of the game. In the nearly complete month of May, Williams has posted a .253/.383/.425 line (.808 OPS), though the 22-year-old has only one multi-hit game in his last ten, and the knock you just watched was his first base hit in four games. In other words, not exactly banging the door down to immediately provide Brewers fans with much-needed Rengifo relief. Brock Wilken was idle for a second consecutive game - he's slugging .254 in May; that's not a misprint. Along with Robert Gasser (much mentioned in the game summary and seen here) and Koenig, it was a continued southpaw brigade with Drew Rom and Brian Fitzpatrick. Would love to see Fitzpatrick focus on multi-inning work, as that seems to be the priority working so well in the big-league bullpen. That value still has me thinking that Rob Zastryzny (idle in this one) doesn't have a true fit in Milwaukee and will be biding time as two weeks remain on his 30-day rehab stint capped length. As for the two runs Gasser allowed, it was hardly a barrage. On this play, you'll see how left fielder Eddys Leonard's error set up Gasser's second run to be unearned, and here you'll see a broken bat flair brought in that unearned run. So, a solid night for Bob Gas overall. Old friend Brewer Hicklen was 0-for-4, with two K's, but YTD he's at .335/.410/.542, impressive four-A player he is. Sorry for making you wait, Ramon, here's your big fly: Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Biloxi 9, Columbus (Braves) 3 Box Score and Game Log Shuckers Tie Franchise Record for Stolen Bases in Win Over Clingstones - Eight Stolen Base Evening for Biloxi Clinches Win in Columbus The southern-based fans in Nashville and Biloxi do love themselves the Atlanta Braves franchise, so the two wins to kick off our report tonight may sting the locals some. Plenty of offense-minded content in that game summary, but perhaps this is the most important takeaway: "Shuckers starter Brett Wichrowski (6.0 IP, 5 K) worked into the sixth inning for the third straight start and has punched out 19 batters over those three appearances." Wichrowski's still in just his age 23 season, and we should remember his professional experience below the AA level consists of only his first four starts, kicking off the 2024 season with the Timber Rattlers. Count me among those who feel the righthander's development trajectory may have been different if he had been allowed to simmer longer in Appleton that summer. Regardless, nice to see recent results, though he did walk four here (walks have not been an issue season-to-date). Right-fielder Damon Keith and his .925 OPS last played on Saturday the 23rd. Circumstances for Darrien Miller - this could only happen because there were two outs: In some skillset ways, Mike Boeve is set to become the new Tyler Black, minus Black's 40-man roster status. LH bat, LF/1B/3B but no set home, and given Black's out-of-options situation for 2027, we'll be viewing Boeve in Black terms next spring. Those May numbers, by the way - .299/.353/.455. Boeve's first RBI in this game was hardly scorched but did the job (video). Speaking of doing the job, if you're a sacrifice fly fan, watch Matthew Wood's fly to center and Eduardo Garcia's fly to right. Three Shuckers were plunked in this game, all lived to talk about it. A player who did exit early, however, was first baseman Blake Burke. Burke led off the 5th with a double, pulling a sharp line drive to right. Take another look at that Boeve RBI video above, Burke was hit by the thrown ball as he slid across home plate. He popped right up, trotting to the dugout, but he did not re-enter on defense in the bottom half of the inning. Glad you're feeling better, Jesus Made (no more illness)!
