  1. Here are all the BrewerFanatic “Osiris” mentions, some more prominent than others. Agree with you to some extent, especially on a national basis, but the daily Link Reporters have given him a fair share of gravitas given his age and contributions.
  2. The Rick Sweet interview has injury updates, including there's more to the story on how Eric Brown, Jr. initially injured himself Saturday. He'll be out 10-to-14 days.

  6. Also walked three times (one caught stealing), and an outfield assist from right field to first base. Alberth Palma flies into a double play in foul territory, right fielder Brailyn Antunez to pitcher Hayden Robinson to first baseman Frederi Montero.
  7. Mike Boeve on base all five plate appearances Sunday - should the Brewers need an add-in piece on a large deal or a primary piece of a smallish deal, that'd be one place to look.
  8. Sunday 7/26: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast: "On this week's episode the guys discussed an outstanding homestand against less than standout competition, the upcoming turn in the schedule, the release of a couple of recent trade acquisitions and, of course, the coming trade deadline." AUDIO option via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with JP Feyereisen: "Miz's workload management, plus Pratt and Lara break out." Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Yet another productive week for the Brewers has them continuing to threaten for the best record in baseball, and the trade deadline is just about here. Will the Brewers be bold this deadline? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss yet another electric outing from Jacob Misiorowski to end the week, plus a seemingly surprise roster move in the team's decision to designate Lance McCullers for assignment after just two outings. Joey Ortiz is on fire, Cooper Pratt is on the board with his first homers, Christian Yelich is showing signs of life and several Brewers alumni were back for a legends game at American Family Field. In Three Up Three Down (25:45), they discuss an ugly return for old friend Freddy Peralta, Andrew Fischer doing some great work with the bat (and his social-media account) and the documentary about Bob Uecker. In Remembrew When (40:10), JR looks back at a notable moment for alumni game MVP Randy Wolf, and in Curt Blanche (42:30), Curt has some thoughts on the trade deadline. Then, JR sits down with Brewers coach Nestor Corredor (48:25), a native Venezuelan who sheds light on baseball in his home country and the team's relief efforts for the Venezuelan earthquake.

  11. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Very good to see Brock Wilken back a day after being beaned (thank you, ear flap!), but we dug into the MiLB TV archives to find out why Nashville's Eric Brown, Jr. and Wilson's Rylan Mills had nights cut short. Transactions: N/A Final, Game One: Sugar Land (Astros) 4, Nashville 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Final, Game Two: Nashville 5, Sugar Land (Astros) 4, eight innings (scheduled for seven) 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 Split Doubleheader in Sugar Land with Extra-Inning Win in Night Cap Pitching ruled throughout both games, and the detailed summary communicates that so well. The opener featured two complete games; pretty sure that's the first time all season at any level we've seen that. I do feel like we do the Sounds a bit of a service here, as unlike the Shuckers and Timber Rattlers, the team does not link to its recaps on 'X', so we do put deserving eyes on things. With that being said, click above at this time and catch up. We'll be waiting right here when you return. First of all, shoutout to Brock Wilken's ear flap Friday night, as we covered in detail in yesterday's report. He was cleared to start Game Two, played the full game at third base. LHP Colton Gordon and RHP Coleman Crow combined for only one walk over 12 innings of work. Every position player saw action somewhere within the twinbill. Here's one thing we may not have picked up on without the effort put into the game summary: "Former 1st round pick Eric Brown Jr. collected the first hit of his Triple-A career on Saturday night in game one. After taking his first two at-bats with Nashville entering the game off the bench, Brown Jr. made his first Triple-A start in game one playing second base. He broke up Ryan Weiss' no-hit bid with a two-out single in the top of the sixth inning. He also started game two and added another hit, finishing the doubleheader 2-for-5 with a walk before having to exit the game after attempting to make a diving catch in center field in the sixth inning. Edwin Díaz triples (1) on a fly ball to center fielder Eric Brown Jr leading off the inning. Defensive Substitution: Jacob Hurtubise replaces center fielder Eric Brown Jr., batting 2nd, playing center field. Because it was not a run-scoring play, there is no video highlight to link to. So, it was off to the game archive (linked here for subscribers, 01:40:10 hour/minute mark). One heck of an effort by Brown racing back towards right-center and laying out for a dive that was thankfully several feet short of the wall. Brown bounced up after the dive and chased the ball to the wall, we see him picking up the ball but not throwing it in (he may have, or could have handed it to RF Luis Matos, we don't see the throw). However, the announcer noted that Brown was coming out with "his right arm hanging down", although we also don't see that on screen. There was no delay on the exit or question of Brown staying in, he was back in the dugout within moments of the play ending. Here's a screenshot of how the dive left Brown initially in that prone position: Just a half-inning earlier, Brown was involved in another physical play, this one at the plate: Luke Adams with a double and three walks in the nightcap, OBP up to .419. As for Darrien Miller, I love how "clears the bases" is reserved for bases-loaded situations: Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Catcher Marco Dinges is the most recent interviewee Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Chattanooga (Reds) 8, Biloxi 4 Box Score and Game Log Fischer & Adamczewski Homer Again in Shuckers Setback to Lookouts Those two home runs are going to get all the buzz and attention, but things were fairly flat otherwise. Biloxi managed only five hits (Dylan O'Rae tripled). The Shuckers did draw eight walks but... Team RISP: 0-for-5. Team LOB: 9. Biloxi batters also fanned 13 times with the heralded group of Made-Fischer-Dinges-Ragsdale-Boeve accounting for 12 of those. RHP Braylon Owens' 2nd AA start (4th appearance) was respectable, especially the one walk vs. seven K's. Not respectable? The Biloxi defense and the five errors committed, which led to three unearned runs. The Lookouts did not commit an error. This collection of miscues negated the Shuckers' baserunning success (4-for-4 in SB attempts). E: Owens (1, throw); Made (12, throw); O'Rae (6, throw); Fischer 2 (6, fielding, fielding). If you check out the Chattanooga video page, you'll see four run-scoring plays, with the pitches coming from Biloxi hurlers Owens, Nick Merkel and Anthony Flores. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 6, South Bend (Cubs) 4 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Rattlers Rally Late to Snap Losing Streak - Wisconsin scores five runs over final three innings to beat South Bend Whew, much needed! That game summary included four video offerings for you. Here's more: Did Daniel Dickinson check his swing here, as the umps ruled? Run scored on the walk. Here's the wild pitch that allowed Wisconsin to tie the game in the 8th. As long as you are in a viewing mood, the first three videos on this page are from the South Bend perspective. This game marked Eric Bitonti's 4th as idle (unknown reason). We may see a Sunday appearance, but often in these cases, if there is a player on the cusp of a return, the organization will push things to Tuesday. RHP Chandler Welch has been an unsung contributor with his multi-inning relief efforts, and bullpen mate Garrett Hodges locked things down sweetly in perfect two-frame fashion. We can't (and shouldn't) dismiss this team based on all the promotions to Biloxi. It's clear they are not laying down, now 3.5 games back of Beloit in the second half standings but also with a ton of games remaining against the Sky Carp (two full series, all on the road). Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Charleston (Rays) 7, Wilson 6 Box Score and Game Log Charleston Scores Twice in Ninth to Beat Wilson - Warbirds Blast Three Home Runs in Loss HR: Mills (5, 2nd inning off Haugh, 0 on, 1 out); Di Turi (3, 2nd inning off Haugh, 1 on, 1 out); Frias, A (4, 8th inning off Hartlaub, 0 on, 0 out). Only hit of the night (three K's), but enough to impress the RiverDogs announcer by the 18-year-old: RHP Jarrette Bonet tossed four innings of one-run ball as the back-end tandem, and as you read, there were two outs and two strikes (1-2 count) in the fateful 9th when this happened on a pitch above the shoulders: Oh man, that throw from Frias should have sent the game to extra innings, catcher Kevin Garcia couldn't hang on prior to a tag. Garcia had only entered moments earlier as Rylan Mills had to exit with an injury on a wild pitch. So, for the 2nd time this report and 3rd time this weekend (Wilken's HBP Friday night), it's time to pull up a game archive to see what happened. (If you're ever wondering why Link Reports can be delayed a bit, this research is the main culprit, but we know it's appreciated). Go the 03:37:30 hour/minute mark here. That's the point when a line drive single places men on 1st and 2nd for Charleston, Bonet on the mound. Oh my, on the first pitch to the next batter, Bonet yanks a pitch low and away but, in the effort to snag it (it was catchable), Mills is caught flush on his wrist as the ball then bounds back to the wall. Mills, clearly in pain, did retrieve the ball, couldn't pick it up on his first attempt, and the runners moved up. Mills would remain kneeling behind the plate during the entirety of the trainer's visit before walking to the dugout after a couple of minutes of attention. That was the darndest thing, I attempted to grab a screenshot for you, it was difficult to capture it exactly. The ball in the air you see is the trajectory it took after nailing Mills' wrist/forearm directly, Rylan apparently just really misjudged and over-stretched for the ball initially. Hoping Mills is OK, obviously. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 5, DSL Rojos (Reds) 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log You know the saying, "you're only as good as the next day's starting pitcher". Well, if Team Blue was hoping to reverse bad momentum after an 18-3 loss Friday, they found the right man in 17-year-old Jesus Vasquez, who spun five shutout frames, with deuces across the board (hits, walks, K's). Don't be confused by your first glance at the box score. Cincinnati threw their own Vasquez, Luis from the Dominican Republic. Jesus is from Venezuela, so no sibling rivalry here. 18-year-old 2nd year RHP Brailin Aguirrez, recently off the injured list, finished up nicely in his third appearance since returning. 17-year-old Diego Frontado, he of the $1.6 million January bonus, pulled a home run in the 6th to cap the scoring, his sixth round-tripper of the season. The right-handed bat played third base in this one, OPS now .955. Frontado also walked and stole his 13th base in 15 tries. Another 17-year-old, catcher Sebastian Franeites, is 2nd on the team in RBI with 27, trailing only Leanders Matos' mark of 38. Franeites drove in two here without the benefit of a base hit - groundout, sacrifice fly. Primarily a bench player this season, 17-year-old LH-hitting outfielder Jesus Mancera (.485 OBP in 66 plate appearances) doubled, singled, and stole his 5th base in six tries. Final: DSL Orioles Orange 8, DSL Brewers Gold 7 Box Score and Game Log Walkoff loss. Gold led 7-4 heading to the bottom of the 8th. Two Brewers pitchers with four-digit ERA's were on the mound as the Baltimore kids made their way back. Freddy Peralta's cousin Christopher, in his 3rd year in the system, struggled as did 2nd year RHP Jose Arias, who the Brewers thought enough of in 2025 to be given eight starts among his 11 appearances (bullpen only in 2026). Darn shame, because starting RHP Raymond Sarmiento shined once again. Such a pretty game log, those last six outings are spectacular. The 18-year-old from Venezuela (he'll turn 19 in February) is guaranteed a flight stateside for 2026. Home run #7 for infielder Osiris Ramirez, who played shortstop here. The young man only turned 17 years old in May. Ramirez also walked and was HBP. No music video today, but Ricki Moneys walked three times and stole base #21 (25 attempts). Still 16 years old, Moises Salazar was again behind the plate for the full game, and was on base four times (single, walk, two HBP). Have to look in the mirror when you lose a high-scoring game in extras when you squander 13 free passes: Team RISP: 1-for-9. Team LOB: 11. Just the four games on Sunday, though you could really stretch out your viewing among all four affiliates given the staggered start times you'll see at the link below. Also note that Biloxi is the MiLB "Free Game of the Day", with a noon Central start for control artist Manuel Rodriguez and the power-packed lineup. Hope it's beautiful where you are, it's been gorgeous here in the Northeast!

Organizational Scoreboard Audio Links MiLB TV (Subscribers) *** Saturday's Birthdays: Wilson shortstop Brady Ebel turns 19 today. Wise old soul. DSL Brewers Gold LHP Santiago Martinez turns 18. He's now on the 60-day IL as he left this June 19th game following a 3rd inning strikeout. Martinez, one of the very, very few southpaws at the complex level, had been off to a scintillating start in his 2nd pro season, 19 K's and 3 BB's in 11.2 innings of one-run ball.
  20. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Biloxi's Bombers may have garnered Friday night's spotlight, but there was plenty to note at every level of the farm system. We think Randy Wolf was wearing a Shuckers uniform at Am-Fam. Transactions: INF David Hamilton returned to Milwaukee from MLB Rehab with Nashville Sounds Nashville Sounds activated RHP Brett Wichrowski from the 7-day injured list. RHP Peyton Niksch assigned to Biloxi Shuckers from Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers activated LHP Bjorn Johnson from the 7-day injured list. OF Brailyn Antunez assigned to Wilson Warbirds from ACL Brewers. RHP Cesar Espinal assigned to Wilson Warbirds from ACL Brewers. C Luis Corobo transferred from ACL Brewers' 7-day injured list to 60-day injured list ACL Brewers transferred RHP Sean Episcope from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. RHP Ryan Oshinskie placed on ACL Brewers' full season injured list There is just a bit of commentary and backstory surrounding most of these moves included within our ongoing minor league transaction thread beginning here. It doesn't seem quite right to kick off game action with a seemingly rather non-descript Nashville game given the other action Friday night, but we have our top-to-bottom format, and hey, we're sticking with it! Final: Sugar Land (Astros) 6, Nashville 2 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 Falls to Space Cowboys for Third Straight Night - Luke Adams records his third straight 2-hit game this week versus Sugar Land Miscellaneous notes beyond the detailed game summary, which included a nice write-up on Tyson Hardin's season-to-date, although the word "efficient" was used, and 83 pitches over four innings isn't quite that. We've seen indications that Jeferson Quero isn't far from moving back behind the plate for the first time in many weeks but count us in the "we'll believe it when" camp for now. In his first rehab game, Brandon Lockridge was tagged out by Space Cowboy first baseman Shay Whitcomb in one of the more athletic plays we've seen this season, also forced Lockridge to test his leg on the improvised crow hop at the bag. Lockridge would exit the game (planned, 99% sure), he had been in right field. An outfield juggle then placed Eric Brown, Jr. in center field, and wouldn't you know, here's Whitcomb again and Brown's late jump cost him (this was also our lone look at returning RHP Brett Wichrowski): Whitcomb wasn't perfect, the Sounds and Lockridge benefitted by a misplay to score the game's first run.. Hardin was hardly (hey, word play!) smacked around. A 78.8 MPH RBI single tied the game at 1-1, while this RBI ground ball to left didn't appear to be 99.9 MPH, but that's what was registered. Back to Wichrowski, his first batter reached on an error by Jacob Hurtubise in right, but things went sideways from there - walk, HBP, sac fly, soft line RBI single to center, ground out, then the Brown, Jr. dive/double, another walk, K to end the inning. Wichrowski also retired the first two men he faced in the 6th before exiting. In the top of the 7th, Brock Wilken was hit by a pitch to open the inning and was immediately pinch run for by Freddy Zamora. This wasn't pretty, folks, and man, what must be running through Brock Wilken's head this morning. Deep into an at-bat, Wilken was hit by a 2-2 slider directly into the ear flap protecting his left ear. The pitch can be seen by MiLB archive subscribers at the 03:10:30 hour/minute mark here. Wilken dropped to the ground immediately but rose to his feet on his own after the trainer's visit and walked off under his own power. Scary stuff and too reminiscent of other Wilken at-bats.

Oh wait, mixed dual screen. From that linked report - In total, the Shuckers hit 2,676 feet (0.509 miles) worth of home runs across their seven blasts, tied for the second-most in a game in Southern League history. This is when you realize there is just way too much statistical information being collected in the universe. Between Javik Blake's 'X' feed and that of the Shuckers' team feed, plenty of excitement abounded. But let's not lose sight of how competitive this game was and that Biloxi trailed 6-5 heading to the top of the 8th. The Chattanooga site includes eight highlights from their perspective should you wish to see some of the offerings of the Biloxi staff on this night. Those arms struck out 14 Lookouts but also walked seven on the night. Starter Jaron DeBerry allowed seven baserunners and three runs in his four innings of work. Blake Burke was hit by a pitch but stayed in the game in the 9th - bummer, as the four-HR watch was on. Andrew Fischer added a sac fly to the epic 30th blast you just read about, Marco Dinges walked and stole a base in his 2nd game at the AA level, Dylan O'Rae stole his 45th base in 53 tries. There's something for everyone in the box and log. Perhaps the most important takeaway of the night - what did all the visiting scouts think of what they saw? They weren't there to check out Reds' farmhands. Somehow Josh Adamczewski went 0-for-5, that's OK, don't touch Josh, MLB. Is veteran Chattanooga voice Larry Ward endearing or just exasperating? Meet him in an interview from this past fall here. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: South Bend (Cubs) 9, Wisconsin 8, eleven innings Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Heartbreak in South Bend - Guilarte drives in five for Wisconsin in eleven-inning loss to Cubs I'm going to pull out a Jerry Augustine-ism from his WTMJ postgame appearances - "I'll tell you what". Love Jerry, but it'd be a fun drinking game to pour one each time you hear that. Well, I'll tell you what, but this game had as much drama, if not more, than the Biloxi contest. Chris Mehring is the man. Thanks for all the detail in that incredible game summary, because it captures the oddities within almost every batted ball, fielding play, and pitch. A must-read, to be sure. When Chris someday reflects on an amazing career, he may be most proud that he survived three full seasons of reliever Yerlin Rodriguez and lived to tell the tales. He's likely a fine young man, blessed with a rifle right arm, won't turn 25 years old until March, but may find greener pastures in his post Brewers career, scheduled for this fall as a minor league free agent. Nice work by 2025 2nd round LHP JD Thompson, back from Maryvale rehab along with 21-year-old reliever Jose Meneses, no earned runs combined over 5.1 innings. The T-Rats smacked four doubles, had smart at bats (sac bunt, sac fly), and drew 12 walks. Daniel Dickinson was on base four times, Braylon Payne received three free passes (two walks, one HBP), how'd the T-Rats lose again? Oh, there were contributing reasons. Tyler Rodriguez was caught stealing twice, once at home. Three errors, including two by Dickinson, that's 18 errors in 77 games split between second and short (second base on this night). Team RISP: 2-for-15. Team LOB: 13. Four hours and 11 minutes of drama, madness, and in the end, a discouraging defeat. Game three missed by Eric Bitonti. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Charleston (Rays) 6, Wilson 4 Box Score and Game Log Late Wilson Rally Falls Short The Brewers thought enough of catcher Kevin Garcia to have him begin 2026 in Wilson, even if the native of Venezuela didn't turn 19 years old until July 20th, five days ago. This was home run #6 in 128 at-bats. Oh, and Garcia has thrown out 22 of 78 attempting basestealers, an excellent (especially for A-Ball) 28.2%. Yes, there are big holes in his offensive game, but much to work with. Ninth-inning rally just fell short, but here's Brady Ebel's third hit of the night. Also from the 9th, Alexander Frias smoked this ball, and the shortstop was charged with an error on the play. Can't be walking nine, Warbirds staff. On a brighter Wilson note, Voice of the Warbirds Chris Edwards has chronicled the 2026 walk-off history for the club, and their celebratory total leads all of minor league baseball! Final: DSL Brewers Gold 8, DSL Cubs Red 5, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log A bit of Cubs retribution for the Wisconsin loss. DBG, as we affectionately refer the Gold squad (OK, we really don't, but there you go), led 7-2 after three innings and held on. Shortstop Ricki Moneys was hit by a pitch and walked three times (good, now more walks than K's on the season), stole his 20th base in 24 tries (also good), and was picked off first base once (oh well), OBP is up to .430 (!), He was on base once for each member of ABBA: 18-year-old Venezuelan first baseman Matthew Moses clubbed his 5th home run, the two Gold pitchers were not spectacular but were fine, and the team moves to 21-15. Final: DSL Red Sox Red 18, DSL Brewers Blue 3 Box Score and Game Log It wasn't Mercedes' morning on Friday as the box score indicates, his four wild pitches were part of the ten wild pitches in this game (seven by the Crew). Prized infield prospect Diego Frontado singled three times. Other stuff happened. Nashville plays twice on Saturday, so we get a seven-game schedule even though Maryvale is done for the season. With the exception of the DSL, all the action is under the early evening lights. Have a great day!
