Organizational Scoreboard Audio Links MiLB TV (Subscribers) *** Sunday's Birthdays: On the big-league side, happy 29th to RHP Dustin May. ACL Brewers RHP Jhosep Ospino turns 22 today. The third-year pro, a native of Colombia, was a Maryvale rookie in 2026. And yes, we have to look up how to spell his first name each occasion he's mentioned.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic As eventful a minor league slate as we've had all season, we document it all and include a lookback at a 2017 injury scare that thankfully had a positive quality of life outcome. Transactions: N/A Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Louisville (Reds) 5, Nashville 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: Nashville Drops First of Series to Louisville Down 3-0 heading to the bottom of the 4th, (yeah, Orlando Arcia is still around), here are the two two-out doubles (Tyler Black, Ramon Rodriguez) that kicked off a two-run frame: Those were followed by an Ethan Murray RBI infield single, with a break on the play that allowed Rodriguez to score. The Sounds' final run tied the game in the 5th, with the "UT fans" reference apparently for Blake Burke crossing the plate (he had walked with two outs and advanced to second on an Akil Baddoo single). As for the fateful 7th when Louisville plated the final two runs of the game, a reminder that a double play would have ended the inning, sigh - Nashville struck out 11 times in the game, and after immediately falling behind in that 7th inning, this was not the response Manager Rick Sweet was looking for: In fact, the Sounds (Eduardo Garcia, Brandon Lockridge, Jonathan Ornelas) each struck out as the side went down in order in the 9th vs. closer Hunter Parks. It would be wonderful if we could learn for sure about the "4th option for Jeferson Quero" that my fellow Link Reporter "Ro" discusses here. It's going to be close as to whether Quero qualifies, pretty sure those in the Brewers' ivory tower have the answer: As your box score review will show you, the pitching was "OK" in this one, a reminder about our "Rule 5 Eligible Tracker" - will LHP Tate Kuehner be added to the 40-man roster this fall? Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Game One: Rocket City (Angels) 2, Biloxi 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Final, Game Two: Biloxi 8, Rocket City 5, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Fischer Hits 45th, 46th Home Runs, Ties Ryan Howard in Shuckers Doubleheader Split - Brewers No. 12 prospect moves into a tie for 5th-most home runs in an MiLB season with pair of home runs The Shuckers' game summaries tend to focus on the run-scoring plays and does so again here. It's a fine writeup, and this edition makes sure we know not just about Andrew Fischer's continued eye-opening feats (eye-opening also as in eye at the plate, five walks), but we are also informed about LHP J.D. Thompson's fine outing, Dylan O'Rae's stolen base exploits, and another win for Jaron DeBerry, the Southern League leader in innings pitched, strikeouts, and batting average against. One thing the summary does not detail is the key Luis Pena injury in the bottom of the 1st inning of the nightcap. That's understandable, as we've mentioned often that the affiliate write-ups won't speculate on injury status. At one point late last night, the video was available on the MiLB archive page, but it has since been taken down. That video did show Pena sliding in feet first, the third baseman had to jump to catch the ball and deftly avoided coming down spikes first on Pena. Initially it appeared that the landing may have been the source of the injury (which would have been painful but not as severe), but it soon became apparent that Pena had a serious injury. There's no "bright spot" here, except to say that we are near season-end with months to recuperate. Not a way any player wishes to spend one's offseason. Our best to Luis. Elsewhere in Biloxi on a busy night - On a night in which the big-league club was out-homered 3-to-1 in a 5-3 loss, the cry among the fanbase to see Fischer in Milwaukee will only grow, and it's both fascinating and tempting (but also perplexing) to determine how things would work out, shake out, etc. For now, enjoy the photo by Sierra Gatz that accompanied the Shuckers game summary Saturday night (Braylon Payne, Josh Adamczewski, Andrew Fischer) - The Shuckers 'X' feed has additional video available, including from Matthew Wood (home run) and Payne. NOTES: Because Jesús Made was the designated hitter in Game Two, it was Dylan O'Rae who entered as Luis Pena's replacement at shortstop. This was O'Rae's first action at shortstop since 2023, and as long as Made remains healthy for next week's final series, shouldn't impact the Biloxi playoff lineup. RF Damon Keith was the only position player on the roster not to see action in either game; he sat out Thursday's game as well. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Beloit (Marlins) 5, Wisconsin 0 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Rattlers Shut Down by Sky Carp - Wisconsin drops 5-0 decision at Beloit Shortstop Brady Ebel (on base three times - single, BB, HBP), and corner outfielders Luis Castillo and Tyler Rodriguez, who combined for five of the seven total walks the Rattlers worked, all (obviously) never crossed the plate in this shutout loss. Team RISP: 0-for-4. Team LOB: 8. RHP Jarrette Bonet, working as the long reliever Saturday, was rightly given his due in the linked game summary. The recently turned 21-year-old, in just his second High-A appearance, faced just one over the minimum over four innings, fanning three. In a way, with so much going on at the other Brewers affiliate outposts, oddly thankful so little happened here in Wisconsin's penultimate 2026 contest, here's to many positive events Sunday. IMPORTANT MEMORY: This one is for longtime Link Report followers. The name of Beloit's starter in this game was Julio Mendez, which immediately had me revisiting one of the scariest on-field moments in Brewers minor league history. In October 2017, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy provided details and a promising update. We followed the Milwaukee Julio Mendez story as closely as we could as it occurred and, in the months, and years that followed. Three years later, in 2021, we received another positive report that Mendez was doing well. That specific link appears to no longer be accessible at our forum, but every indication is Julio remains well to this day. Speaking of overcoming hardship, on to the Wilson game... Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 6, Wilson 3 Box Score and Game Log Warbirds Offense Goes Quiet in Loss - Cairone Makes First Start Yes, the Warbirds have now lost 11 games in a row. They won't get a chance to match Biloxi's recent 13-game skid, primarily because the season ends for Wilson on Sunday. At 64-65, the boys need to snap the brutal stretch to avoid a losing season, and to enjoy the bus ride home, for that matter. In a game delayed at the start by nearly an hour, the listed attendance was 3,538. We all could speculate that this would be a brief appearance for Cairone, whose road to recovery was most thoroughly covered by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (JS subscription required). Let's all celebrate the first inning - to be honest, this could have been a blow-up frame, and we still would have celebrated it: The young southpaw would come back out for a second inning: Line drive single to right Strikeout swinging Line drive single to center Walk to load the bases (Another) strikeout swinging - so close to escaping! Walk to force in a run Cairone was lifted after 48 pitches, and RHP Enderson Mercado would balk in a run, meaning two earned runs total on Cairone's ledger, but that doesn't matter. Looking forward to Cairone perhaps starting the season-opener for these Warbirds in 2027. Congrats, Frank! You can see Carsten Sabathia and Brailyn Antunez drive in runs on very similar base hits here and here. Whew, that was quite a report this morning! We say goodbye to the Wisconsin and Wilson seasons on Sunday, Nashville has two weeks of play yet to go, and Biloxi one regular season series before their playoff run begins. Biloxi has the lone evening game today. Thanks for reading, and here's hoping you all enjoy a wonderful and safe remainder of your Labor Day weekend.

Brewers - Timber Rattlers affiliation began in 2009

This thread will be utilized for any minor league news Saturday. Organizational Scoreboard Audio Links MiLB TV (Subscribers) *** Saturday's Birthdays: Timber Rattlers RHP Quinton Low turns 24 today. You may remember this from the Link Report for games of August 7th: There was a scary moment in the Timber Rattlers game as RHP Quinton Low took a 106 MPH liner directly off his face, somehow exiting on his own power, but it was initially a bloody sight. We are hopeful we'll learn he'll be OK." Low has since been placed on the 60-day IL and there's been no official word on his status. Some additional background was provided in the Wisconsin section of that linked report above. Also - Low's T-Rat teammate, catcher Marco Dinges, celebrates his 23rd birthday today, unfortunately also on the IL, the 7-day version as of August 14th. Barring a surprise activation this weekend, Marco's regular season is over. Perhaps a return to the Arizona Fall League, where Dinges was limited to two games last year?

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Such a weird evening - an amazing rally by the Sounds, a brutal walkoff loss for the T-Rats, and the Warbirds were manhandled to an extreme. A Biloxi rainout saved us from additional drama. Transactions: Wisconsin Timber Rattlers activated SS Brady Ebel from the 7-day injured list. RHP Thomas Conrad assigned to Wisconsin Timber Rattlers from Wilson Warbirds. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes (unavailable) Final: Nashville 5, Louisville (Reds) 4 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 Walk off Bats with Five-Run Ninth Sure, we'll get to that amazing 9th inning rally in a moment, but how about this guy?

Chris called this puzzling: Not sure I've seen a play quite like this (and to be fair, still haven't as the video cuts off), but this play did not shine well for Luiyin Alastre. That just can't happen. After watching how the Nashville game ended, here's the balancing act to even things out on the night (unfortunately). If you didn't yet, please go back and catch both elements of Luis Castillo's night in the recap (offense and defense), a fine season for sure and thinking out loud that perhaps Luis is rewarded with a Fall League stint this year. It wasn't ideal (a net 9.00 ERA in the one-game sample rarely is), but RHP Thomas Conrad did manage to complete four innings in his High-A debut. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 24, Wilson 2 Box Score and Game Log Warbirds Downed in Largest Defeat of the Season - Polanco Records Multi-Hit Game When the Fredericksburg own game recap starts with the sentence, "This game was over from the start", one knows trouble is ahead. But that being said, the T-Rats were up 6-0 after the top of the 1st, right? There was an odd dichotomy to affiliate games Friday. The two wild pitch endings (good and bad), the two nutso first innings (good and bad, though both final results bad), good thing Biloxi was rained out as who knows what the Shuckers may have thrown into the odd mix. There is not a single clip of video from a positive Wilson perspective from this game. However, as might be expected, the home team lined up seven clips from their "X" feed. If that's not enough for you, the Nats' video page totaled eleven clips in all, which we believe sets a Link Report high for 2026. This was our forum thread title setting up the day Friday AM: Wilson (Nine-Game Skid) is Drifting out to Sea, Right Tom Hanks? That set up a fun little discussion to kick off the thread. So yes, losing streak now at double digits. Remember how poorly, especially offensively, the Warbirds kicked off their inaugural season? April was a quagmire. Now the back end has been a disaster. Wilson is now 64-64, so much goodness did happen between May and mid-August, but this weekend will determine if the team finishes at, above, or below .500 for the season. This was the full-season ball debut for 19-year-old RHP Dariel Jaquez, who missed all of 2025 due to injury. He didn't escape the fateful 1st, pulled after 36 pitches. However, Jaquez deserved better, at least as catcher Kevin Garcia would admit here: By far, Wilson's most effective pitcher was backup C/1B Eric Martinez, who has been called upon for mound duty three times since August 18th. As his pitching game log will show, he's been darn effective! This pitch burned him, but we'll highlight it regardless: Evening action throughout the system on Saturday night, with the Biloxi doubleheader kicking off at 4:35 Central. Hope your start of the Labor Day weekend is wonderful!

We're going to link to this Nashville full summary in today's Link Report. It's the only place available online from a link-friendly perspective. Akil Baddoo Hits Go-Ahead Homer as Sounds Win Third Straight All Nine Starters Record a Hit for Nashville NASHVILLE – The Sounds earned their third straight one-run win, beating the Louisville Bats 7-6 on Thursday night at First Horizon Park. All nine Nashville starters recorded at least one hit. Brock Wilken and Andrick Nava turned in multi-hit games while Akil Baddoo produced 3-RBI, hitting the go-ahead home run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Louisville opened the scoring with a three-run home run in the top of the second off Sounds' starter Carlos Rodriguez. Nashville responded in the bottom half of the inning with a two-out, two-RBI single for Brandon Lockridge after Nava kept the rally alive with a single to load the bases and his first hit of the night. The Bats held a 3-2 lead into the top of the fifth. Brandon Sproat worked two scoreless innings (2 H, 2 K, 2 BB) in relief of Rodriguez (2.0 IP, 2 H, HR, 3 ER, 3 K, 2 BB). Right-hander Kaleb Bowman took over on the mound for the Sounds in the top of the fifth and issued a leadoff walk ahead of a passed ball that put a runner into scoring position. A single for Will Benson put runners on the corners before a productive groundout put the Bats ahead by a pair of runs. Nashville's deficit grew to four just two batters later when Orlando Arcia hit a two-run home run to make it 6-2. Nashville answered in the bottom of the sixth with another two-out rally. Tyler Black started it with a single before Ethan Murray won a 12-pitch battle against Kent Emanuel with a RBI bloop single into shallow left field. Nava added his second hit of the night and scored Murray to cut the Bats' lead to 6-4. Blake Holub pitched around a one-out double in the top of the seventh for Nashville to send the offense back to work. Wilken began the inning with a single and was followed aboard by Blake Burke who drew a walk and sent Baddoo to the plate. He didn't miss the 2-0 fastball offering from Zach McCambley and sent it over the left-center field wall to give Nashville its first lead of the night. Jared Koenig (1.0 IP) and Cameron Wagoner (1.0 IP) slammed the door on the Bats with a pair of scoreless frames in the eighth and ninth. Wagoner surrendered a two-out single to Benson and he swiped second to put the tying run in scoring position. Wagoner responded with a five-pitch strikeout of Noelvi Marte to strand the runner at second and a secure third straight win and Triple-A best 43rd win at home for the Sounds. The second-to-last homestand of the season heads to the weekend portion of the series with Brewers no. 7-rated prospect Tyson Hardin (4-4, 4.86 ERA) slated to get the start for Nashville on Friday night. First pitch from First Horizon Park is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. POSTGAME NOTES: BID YOU BADDOO: Akil Baddoo crushed his 11th homer of the season on a three-run blast to left center field and gave the Sounds a 7-6 go-ahead lead in the bottom of the seventh inning. It was his third home run in his last eight games since the start of the Jacksonville series last week. Six of Baddoo's 11 home runs this season have been go-ahead home runs, second-most on the club behind Brock Wilken (8). The 11 home runs on the season are the third-most on the team behind Brock Wilken and Jeferson Quero with 15 each. Baddoo is four homers away from tying his Triple-A career-high (15), a mark he sent last season with the Toledo Mud Hens. TRIPLE AYEEE: Blake Burke went 1-for-3 on the night with his first triple at the Triple-A level and a walk in Thursday's game. It was the fifth career three-bagger for the Brewers no. 12-rated prospect who has a career-high three triples this season after hitting a pair for Double-A Biloxi. It was his first triple since June 4 in game one of the doubleheader against Montgomery. The Sounds lead the International League and rank T-4th in Triple-A with their 37 triples this year and are tied for the fourth-most in a single-season since 2005. The 2018 Sounds hit 47 in 2018. DON'T LOCK HIM UP: Brandon Lockridge posted a 1-for-4 night, adding two RBI and a walk. Lockridge has posted seven RBI in his last four games, highlighted by his career day against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on August 28 when he went 3-for-5, added two doubles and recorded a career-high five RBI. In 14 games with Nashville, he has put up a .236 batting average (13-for-55), added three XBH, 11 RBI and eight runs. It marked his second multi-RBI game of the season for the Sounds and 66th regular season game with a multi-RBI since the start of his professional career in 2018. WILKEY WAY: Brock Wilken tallied his third hit of the week in three games and added his 23rd double of the season Thursday, going 2-for-5 on the night. He hit his first double since he recorded a two-bagger in three straight games on August 20-23 at Norfolk. The 24-year-old ranks sixth in RBI (74) and eighth in doubles (23) among full-season minor league hitters in the Brewers' farm system. Thursday was his 13th multi-hit game of the season for the Sounds and ranks tied for third behind Jeferson Quero (23) and Tyler Black (14) among active players on the roster. ONE IS PLENTY: All nine Sounds batters recorded a hit in Thursday's 7-6 come-from-behind win against the Bats. It was the fourth time this season that all Nashville hitters in the starting lineup recorded at least one base knock. The Sounds improved to 19-18 on the season in one-run games and was the third time they have won at least three one-run games in a single-series this year (May 12-17 vs. Iowa, May 26-31 vs. Gwinnett). The Sounds have played four straight one-run games since the series finale in Jacksonville last Sunday. Thursday marked the first time Nashville has won three straight one-run games since May 21-23, 2021 against Gwinnett (3-2, 2-1, 1-0) as part of a 15-game winning streak.

Via Chris Edwards: Antunez Named Carolina League Player of the Month Selection Marks Fourth Overall Recognition for Warbirds Player WILSON, N.C. – Minor League Baseball has announced that Wilson Warbirds outfielder Brailyn Antunez has been named the Carolina League Player of the Month for August, becoming the first player in franchise history to earn the league's monthly honor. Antunez is coming off a month in which he batted .372/.465/.628 and led the Carolina League in hits (32) and total bases (54). Additionally, Antunez was second on the circuit in home runs (five) and third in average (.372) and runs (21) and slugging percentage (.628) and was fifth in on-base percentage (.465), OPS (1.093) while also collecting 13 multi-hit games. Signed by the Milwaukee Brewers as an international free agent on January 15, 2026, out of Maracaibo, Venezuela, Antunez opened the season in the Arizona Complex League before being assigned to Wilson on July 24. Since joining the Warbirds, Antunez has continued to make an immediate impact, batting .355 with seven home runs and 30 RBI. Since his promotion to Wilson, he leads the Carolina League in RBI while ranking second in both batting average and home runs. Antunez is currently ranked as the No. 27 prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers organization by MLB Pipeline. The Player of the Month honor marks the fourth overall weekly or monthly recognition earned by a Warbirds player during the club's inaugural season. Antunez joins Brady Ebel and Handelfry Encarnacion, who were each named Carolina League Player of the Week, and Jarrette Bonet, who was named the Brewers' Minor League Pitcher of the Month for April.

Via Chris Mehring: Daniel Dickinson Wins Midwest League Player of the Month Award for August Timber Rattlers second baseman on fire in the second half GRAND CHUTE, WI – Daniel Dickinson has been on an offensive tear for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the second half of the Midwest League season. He got so hot in August that Minor League Baseball named Dickinson as the winner of their Midwest League Player of the Month award for August. Dickinson, the sixth-round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 draft out of LSU, played in all of Wisconsin’s 27 games in August. He was 36-for-105 (.343) with four homers, nineteen RBI, and eighteen stolen bases. Additionally, Dickinson had nine doubles, scored 25 runs, and walked fifteen times. He had an OPS of 1.033 in August. The Rattlers second baseman led the Midwest League in average, runs, hits, and steals in August.
