Tuesday 2/25: Via WTMJ's Midday News (download link): Dom Cotroneo from Arizona Via 97.3's Mike Heller Show (Hour One), Tim Allen hosts: "Matt Pauley of KMOX in St. Louis talks Cardinals at the 14:20 minute mark" Via the "Wisconsin Sports Daily Show" with Steve "Sparky" Fifer: "Brewer Fanatic's Jack Stern discusses some hot starts from prospective corner infield options for the Brewers, and which standouts are proving why they deserve a chance at the MLB roster." Via the "Cold Brew Podcast": "Dave Gasper and Matt Carroll break down all the big news from Brewers spring training as Cactus League play has begun and we have actual games to watch again. There's big news on DL Hall, Blake Perkins, Vinny Capra, Craig Yoho, Mark Canha, Manuel Margot and a bunch more.

MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team this afternoon from Minor League camp: INF Luke Adams (96), INF Juan Baez (95), INF Blake Burke (61), OF Luis Castillo (66), C Marco Dinges (98), INF Eduardo Garcia (0), OF Braylon Payne (92), RHP Will Childers (99), RHP Daniel Corniel (94), RHP Alex Cornielle (91), RHP Melvin Hernández (88), RHP Jack Hostetler (57), RHP Sam McWilliams (84), RHP Ryan Middendorf (60), RHP Nick Merkel (75), RHP Ryan Sandberg (58), RHP Garrett Stallings (68), RHP Tyler Woessner (97). Box Score / GameDay For Hostetler and Sandberg, this was an official yet unofficial professional debut. Hostetler needed only six pitches to get three ground ball outs. Sandberg walked three before being pulled after registering two outs (the MLB Network feed, on one-hour delay, bypassed Sandberg's frame). Merkel's lone batter faced (K) was impressive. Burke's double to the left-field wall was an easy-swinging poke.

Thank you Adam for the story, way to go, Joe!

Just read this McCalvy X thread.

Gameday / Box Final, 6-1 loss at Colorado: Luke Adams with an 0-for-1, but HBP, because Luke Adams. Yophery Rodriguez one inning of CF defense. Jadher Areinamo flied out in his lone AB. Eduardo Garcia K'd as a pinch-hitter to end the game. RHP's Chase Costello, Blake Holub, Chandler Welch and Tyson Hardin saw action, with their results combining for 3.1 innings scoreless, 5 walks, 3 K's, specifics at the link above.

Still awaiting media notes availability. On the bus to Talking Stick today. Keep in mind that players who were available in the initial post in this thread may have been also (for instance, Chase Costello, as seen in the video above). 02/23/25 RHP John Holobetz assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 OF Braylon Payne assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 LHP Sam Garcia assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 RHP Tyson Hardin assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 RHP Blake Holub assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 CF Yophery Rodriguez assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 OF Eduardo Garcia assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 3B Juan Baez assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 RHP Chandler Welch assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 RHP Evan McKendry assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/23/25 2B Jadher Areinamo assigned to Milwaukee Brewers.

Adams with a pinch-hit broken bat yet line drive single to left in his lone AB. Merkel stranded an inherited runner while retiring the lone batter he faced. Williams, Stallings, Middendorf and Cornielle with scoreless innings, with only one batter reaching (walk by Stallings). Cornielle gets the win! Woessner surrendered two runs in the 8th before Vinny Capra took him off the hook with his walk-off blast, his second three-run HR of the game. Technically, because he's a member of big-league camp as a non-roster invite, Darrien Miller doesn't qualify for this thread. However, wanted to point out:

Sat. 2/22 (Gameday): I've asked Mike Vassallo to please post the daily game notes online moving forward. 02/22/25 RHP Ryan Middendorf assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 3B Luke Adams assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Chase Costello assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Kaleb Bowman assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 C Matthew Wood assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Tyler Bryant assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 SS Daniel Guilarte assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Alexander Cornielle assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Sam McWilliams assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Tyler Woessner assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Garrett Stallings assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Nick Merkel assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RHP Will Childers assigned to Milwaukee Brewers. 02/22/25 RF Luis Castillo assigned to Milwaukee Brewers.
