RHP Dikember Sanchez assigned to Carolina Mudcats from ACL Brewers. ACL Brewers activated RHP Ismael Yanez from the 7-day injured list.

C Nick Kahle activated from Nashville's Development List (where he had been since May 21st), as C Eric Haase is in Anaheim with the big-league club (taxi squad), pending William Contreras' health status (thankfully looking good). Taxi club placement is not considered a formal transaction, but is noted by MiLB as such: C Eric Haase roster status changed by Nashville Sounds.

A reminder Dylan O'Rae is only 20 years old (21 in February): Biloxi Press Release: SHUCKERS MAKE MULTIPLE MOVES PRIOR TO THE SERIES OPENER AGAINST ROCKET CITY BILOXI, MS – The Biloxi Shuckers and Milwaukee Brewers have announced that 2B/OF Dylan O’Rae has been promoted from High-A Wisconsin and INF/OF Casey Martin has been assigned to the Shuckers’ active roster after being acquired via trade from the Philadelphia Phillies organization. In a corresponding move, INF Ben Metzinger has been placed on the Development List. O’Rae has been assigned No. 6 and Martin has been assigned No. 11. The Shuckers' active roster stands at 28 players. O’Rae, the Brewers’ 20th-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, was promoted from High-A Wisconsin after helping the Timber Rattlers clinch their first Midwest League division title since 2012 on Sunday. At the time of promotion, O’Rae was among the Midwest League leaders in stolen bases (1st, 33), walks (3rd, 42) and on-base percentage (10th, .405). O’Rae was named a 2023 MiLB.com Brewers Organizational All-Star after a .349/.491/.395 slash line between the Rookie-level ACL Brewers and Single-A Carolina. Martin, acquired via trade from the Phillies organization on June 14, 2024, is set to make his Brewers’ organizational debut with the Shuckers. Prior to the trade, Martin appeared in 43 games with the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils of the Eastern League.

We've reached the point in the Brewers' MiLB season that no schedule is too light for a Brewer Fanatic Link Report. Let's take a look at how things went in sunny, low 80's temperatures in rookie league paradise. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic We have a cross-our-fingers injured list move to check in on first, however. Transaction: RHP Hayden Robinson placed on ACL Brewers’ 7-day injured list 18-year-old Robinson (19 next month) was Milwaukee's 14th round pick out of a Louisiana high school last summer. One week after that outing, on June 6th, Robinson allowed just one hit over 3.1 scoreless innings, walking none and fanning another seven. Hopefully his injury status is minor, and the Brewers are playing it safe. Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 12, DSL Guardians Mendoza 7 Box Score and Game Log Check out that linescore, as the teams traded big innings early. The Brewers five-run top of the 2nd inning was spotlighted by first baseman Joandrew Pena's line drive RBI single. The five runs had all crossed the plate with only one other base hit involved, otherwise it was the Cleveland generosity of walks, an error, and a passed ball. The Guardians scored four in the bottom of the 3rd via much more traditional means, as recently-turned 20-year-old RHP Joshua Quezada, the native of Nicaragua acquired from the Yankees in February for LHP Clayton Andrews, faltered after beginning his day with two shutout frames. But Team Uno immediately got those four runs back in the next half-inning, with the dynamic infield duo of Jesus Made (double) and Luis Pena (RBI single) in the midst of the action. Left fielder Juan Ortuno was among those to contribute to the inning, a two-run triple pulled to left. Made, Pena, and Ortuno are all in their age 17 season. Ortuno and just-turned 20-year-old OF Idalberto Santiesteban (DH'ing here), each reached base four times. Santiesteban is a 2nd-year DSL'er (.661 OPS last year). Pena exited the game after striking out swinging in the 5th. Second-year RHP Luis Guevara (just-turned 18 years old out of Venezuela) was the mound strength in this one, netting the middle relief win. In three outings, he sports a WHIP of 1.00 over eight innings. Final: DSL Cubs Blue 11, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Maybe Craig Counsell should have managed this Cubs squad today to change his mojo. Team Dos' bats only managed four hits (LF Eduardo Charles doubled) and four walks. No batter reached twice. It was 8-0 after two innings, and 17-year-old (just turned 17 this month) Dominican native Jean Rodriguez, one of nine Rodriguez' in the system, was the victim in only his 2nd pro appearance. Three of his eight runs allowed were unearned. 6'5 RHP Paul Hoff, the 17-year-old import from Germany, walked five in his three-inning middle relief stint, but limited the damage to two runs in his likewise only 2nd pro appearance. Outside of more daytime DSL action, everyone else gets back to work early this evening. All eyes will be on Carolina at 5:00 Central. The Mudcats magic number is at one, and although on the road in Columbia, South Carolina, they will be the home team in their first game tonight as a suspended game must be completed (Mudcats trail 1-0 with one out in the Fireflies 5th inning). Here's looking forward to a clinching celebration this week, the earlier the better!

Via the "Mental Advantage Podcast": "The MAP boys sit down with Isaac Collins, a professional baseball player with the Nashville Sounds (AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers). It won't take long to understand why Isaac's mindset and mental toughness are a big part of his success in baseball. He credits a lot of people for helping him develop this mindset but says that when he was with the Colorado Rockies organization, Doug Chadwick, a mental performance coach, was instrumental in building the foundation. Isaac is a native of Maple Grove, Minnesota and Creighton University. He was drafted in the 9th round of the 2019 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies and was picked up by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2023 Minor League Rule 5 Draft. In this episode, Isaac talks about the game day and in-game systems, strategies and routines that he uses to remain present in the moment. He discusses his journey through minor league ball and his turnback moment and how he overcame it." The extended hourlong conversation begins at the 05:40 minute mark. Collins discusses joining the Brewers via Rule 5 at the 45:00 minute mark.

That included Sunday, when Blake Perkins' throw home helped atone for a big-time miscue earlier in the series. Plus: Freddy Peralta is struggling, and so is Sal Frelick. Does the former mean the team is more likely to trade for a starter, and is the latter a pre-cursor to a trip back to Nashville?

I meant to predict Rund as a Star of the Day in the tail end of this AM’s Link Report, as today is his 25th birthday. Gets the “W” on the playoff-clincher, sweet!

And another! Add fireballing RH reliever Michael Petersen (WBC Great Britain) to the about-to-debut list.

Shane Smith and Biloxi have the late start time today.

Wisconsin Timber Rattlers activated RHP Alexander Cornielle from the 7-day injured list. Nice!
