Starting 20-year old LHP Joey Broughton followed up his scoreless Tuesday start with a solid first inning here (3 Ks, 2 singles, 0 runs), but exited immediately after that frame. Hopefully it was a planned short outing, but we’ll have to watch his status. Checked out the archive, Enderson Mercado was warming during the first inning, and was not given unlimited warmups to start the 10th, seemingly indicating that it was a planned one-inning outing for Broughton.

Sunday 6/21: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast (Recorded Sunday AM): - "Steve Garczynski and BrewerFanatic's Spencer Michaelis joined Ryan Topp to discuss the last week of Brewers baseball, including some frustratingly close losses to the Braves, good luck and bad luck and, of course, just a little bit of World Cup action in the Big Apple. Caveat Emptor: There were some intermittent issues with Ryan's hotel internet which caused some brief pauses in the recording. While these have been cleaned up, there are a few 5-10 second snippets of Ryan talking about things that are now lost to the mists of time. Please just assume it was something profound and the loss to society incalculable." *** Postgame shows for the 9-4 win in Atlanta: AUDIO option via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with Corey Knebel and J.P.

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a solid (but somewhat frustrating) 3-3 week, including the arrival of shortstop Cooper Pratt, taking Luis Rengifo's place on the roster. How'd he do in his first week of MLB baseball? They check in on a few top players (Christian Yelich, Brice Turang, William Contreras, Aaron Ashby) and discuss whether there is any reason to worry about their recent results. Quinn Priester is officially out for the year; how big of a loss is that for the Brewers? Robert Gasser was good again; Brandon Woodruff should be back this week and is Brandon Sproat a reliever? Plus, are we sure the Brewers are actually an excellent defensive team? In Three Up Three Down (40:45), we may have a new future third base candidate and a manager on the mend. In Remembrew When (57:00), JR looks back at another glove-first shortstop making a high-profile debut two decades ago. In Curt Blanche (1:02:45), perhaps an early trade-deadline prescription? Then, JR chats with first-base coach Spencer Allen (1:11:30) and game-preparation specialist Evan Martin (1:18:45), two coaches who play a big role in the Brewers success in 2026, even if you're not all that familiar with their roles. Allen was a pioneering head coach in the Big Ten before he joined the Brewers, and Martin walked away from a Division I baseball scholarship to become a full-time team employee.

Yet the young man can't drink legally in the states until August 8th. Perspective.

From Friday's Link Report - this is why we note such things, wish it weren't so: "Still just 17 years old, Venezuelan LHP Santiago Martinez now has a 19-to-3 K-to-BB mark through three appearances. After pitching five, then four, innings in his first two outings, he was lifted with two outs in the 3rd here, immediately after retiring two batters, the last on a strikeout. Hopefully the young man is OK."

Organizational Scoreboard Audio Links MiLB TV (Subscribers) *** Sunday's Birthdays: Happy 25th to Biloxi RHP Cameron Wagoner, having earned a new lease on his baseball journey equipped with triple-digit heat. On the big-league side, we wish Grant Anderson a fine 29th!

No need for them to "re-sign" (no decision to be made by the players), the Brewers maintain their rights regardless for several seasons.

Remember it as you wish. We have forum moderators here for a reason, and while there were conflicting opinions (I was certainly a fan of Smith's, among other folks), the polarizing viewpoints from both sides of the aisle, so to speak, led to awkward moments, will agree on that.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Don't let giant offensive outputs overshadow strong mound work for Nashville and Wisconsin. Wilson's consistent ability to walk off its opponents is unreal. Transactions: Nashville Sounds placed RHP Brett Wichrowski on the 7-day injured list. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers activated C Marco Dinges. No word on the nature or severity of Wichrowski's injury. The 23-year-old has made three starts since his promotion from Biloxi. Dinges comes off the suspended list after serving time for his part in a dust-up last week. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes (unavailable) Final: Nashville 17, Memphis (Cardinals) 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: Baddoo Ignites Sounds Offense in 14-Run Monstrous Win - Baddoo sets career-high with 7-RBI night; Tyson Hardin earns fourth Triple-A quality start Click here to review a report regarding a serious Akil Baddoo injury in the 8th inning A true shame for Baddoo, as the game summary so clearly details just how productive the 27-year-old veteran has been. It's easy to get caught up in the football score and all the crooked numbers in the box you'll devour, but 24-year-old RHP Tyson Hardin deserves his proper due. We just published our annual Rule 5 projection analysis on Saturday, and you'll note that Hardin is not among the players mentioned. The Brewers don't have to add Hardin to the 40-man roster this calendar year and could preserve that 40-man spot through the offseason. However, if Hardin continues to post quality starts (game log here, focus on the seven AAA spots) and the front office believes he can contribute to a playoff push, he'll get the spot early. Amid all the offense, Luis Lara didn't get a chance to pad his numbers, day off. Jett Williams also sat this one out, though that may have been more of a reset. Speaking of the Rule 5, Luke Adams doubled, singled, and walked four times, pushing his OBP to .421, nearly matching his professional career OBP of .423. I've been dismissive of Tyler Black as of late, but he finished a double shy of a cycle, added a walk, and stole his 9th base, yet to be caught stealing in 2026. You saw four videos in the linked game summary above; other clips are available: Black's home run leading off the game Jeferson Quero homered immediately after the Baddoo injury exit Brock Wilken's third hit was an RBI single, and was the lone damage Nashville did vs. a position player Nashville at least has a chance to play big-time spoiler on Sunday. The loss for Memphis places the Redbirds on the brink of elimination heading into the first half finale. The Redbirds must defeat Nashville and Rochester must lose to Toledo for the Redbirds to win the International League first half championship. Go Sounds! Shuckers, Clingstones Postponed Due to Unplayable Field Conditions Resumption of Friday’s game two moved to Sunday as doubleheader, Saturday's regularly scheduled game canceled I kicked off our daily forum thread as follows, alluding to Brock Wilken's unfortunate injured knee during the 2025 clubhouse first-half celebration: If Shuckers Clinch, Nobody Slip in the Clubhouse Celebration, Please The canceled game essentially handed the Shuckers a reduction of one for their magic number, which is now down to one. As for the weather, the Biloxi pre-game media notes indicated; HITTING FOR THE CYCLE (THE WATER CYCLE): Over the last 5 days, the Biloxi/Gulfport/Ocean Springs area has received 14.7” of rain, including 3.7” on Friday night... The average amount for the area for the month of June is 4.2” ... Since May 1, the area has received 29.7” of rain, over 3 times the average rainfall for the two-month span... June 2026, has been the rainiest month on record (15.9”) since June 2017, when the area received 25.8” of rain. So, it's not as though this is a yearly issue, 2026 is a big and annoying outlier in baseball terms. For those in the area truly impacted, it's a serious situation. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 14, Quad Cities (Royals) 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Wisconsin Blitzes Bandits - Rattlers pound sixteen hits in 14-1 win over Quad Cities The T-Rats now have a 26-3 positive run differential two games into the second half standings. Hope you enjoyed the six videos included in the linked game summary. The only video from the team's Saturday 'X' feed not included there was this one, and I'm a sucker for that river view in Davenport, Iowa: Even with all that video, you can watch even more with these four RBI plays off the bats of Andrick Nava, Luiyin Alastre, Josiah Ragsdale and Luis Castillo. All that offense, and Braylon Payne had the night off. It is remarkable the parallels this game had to Nashville's own rout. Please gorge yourself on a breakfast feast of crooked numbers in the Wisconsin box. But like Tyson Hardin at AAA, we have to shine a spotlight on 20-year-old RHP Jayden Dubanewicz, another late-round heist, this one from the 2024 draft (16th round out of a Florida high school). In his two Wisconsin starts since a deserved promotion from Wilson, Dubanewicz has walked none while striking out eleven. Look for the youngster to make the cut the next time our user community votes on the BrewerFanatic Top 20 Prospects Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 6, Charleston (Rays) 5 Box Score and Game Log Wilson Capitalizes on Mistakes, Walks Off Charleston - Healy Shuts Down RiverDogs for Win That's as detailed a game summary from Wilson as we've seen recently, please review and save me a bit of typing recapping a busy night on the farm. There are no direct social media video posts to link to, but MiLB provides: Well, we have to go to the final play first, as the Walkoff Warbirds are just insane. Old friend Tom Haudricourt would say this is the eleventy-ninth walkoff of the Wilson season. It's close to that figure! From earlier in the game: Handelfry Encarnacion ropes an RBI double Luis Lameda sacrifice fly Filippo Di Turi RBI fielder's choice Kevin Garcia's pop-up sacrifice fly to tie the game Catcher Yannic Walther sat this one out, but you can hear him discuss his German upbringing within our dedicated Warbirds thread. Brady Ebel had a sacrifice fly and walked three times, our Spencer Michaelis' latest feature profile: It wasn't teenage RH starter Carlos Carra's best outing, but it was solid enough. 2025 9th round RHP Andrew Healy out of Duke is starting to stack effective outings. Final: ACL Brewers 4, ACL White Sox 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log We didn't get Statcast data in Glendale for this one, so we can't tell you how hard RF Alexander Frias' two singles were hit, though they were listed as a fly ball to center and a ground ball to center. This was the first scoreless appearance of 19-year-old Bryan Regalado's career. He was a surprise stateside bump after only appearing in two DSL games in 2025. Regalado walked three and hit a batter here but didn't allow a hit and fanned four over his four innings of work. Very effective in a different way was 18-year-old Diustin Mayorquin, who did not walk a batter and limited the damage to one run while scattering six hits. Mayorquin gave up a home run in the final frame before closing things out. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 7, DSL Brewers Gold 4, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Blue improves to 10-4, Gold falls to 4-11. Game was scoreless through four innings as Gold RHP Raymond Sarmiento tossed four frames of hitless ball (two walks). Fellow 18-year-old Blue RHP Alejandro Bustamante walked four in three innings but likewise kept his camp complex mates off the board. All heck broke out in the 5th when 17-year-old 6'3" RHP Adrian Bello entered to make his 3rd pro appearance for Gold. Bello retired only one of the eight batters he faced as Blue took a 7-0 lead. (3.46 makes for a decent ERA, but not a WHIP, and Bello's figure represents the latter.) Not only did Gold batters earn 11 walks in the loss, but they were spread among all nine men in the lineup, that's a rarity. So, it's not as though Blue pitching coaches were pleased despite the win. Talk about a vulture, Blue 17-year-old RHP Jesus Vasquez has earned the win in each of his first three professional appearances despite his own 9.53 ERA and 2.82 WHIP. Five errors combined (four by Gold), so as the coaches seek cleaner efforts, this one fell short in that regard. Summer is officially here, everyone, enjoy the five scheduled games on tap, including a hopeful two completed contests in Biloxi wrapped around a first-half title.

For those with an MiLB.TV subscription that allows you to view archived games, go to the 03:18:00 hour/minute mark here. With the bases loaded for Nashville and no one out in the top of the 8th, Sounds up 8-3, Baddoo ripped a ball down the right-field line into the corner, clearing the bases for an 11-3 lead. Keep in mind that in the 4th inning, Baddoo blasted a 425-foot grand slam to center field, so the 8th inning double gave him seven RBI on the night. It was his 2nd grand slam of the current series. On the play, as Baddoo rounded 2nd and was on his way to attempt to reach 3rd, he pulled up lame about four steps past second. Though Baddoo remained on his two legs the entire time, never collapsing to the ground, it was very clear that Baddoo was aware of the seriousness of the injury, and he did a two-fisted slam of his batting helmet to the ground, which snapped off the face protector on impact. Baddoo was touching his left leg in the calf/Achilles area. Trainer Jeff Paxson and Manager Rick Sweet came out, and Baddoo was able to walk ever-so-gingerly towards the dugout. When he reached the top step of the dugout, at that point Baddoo had to be given assistance as to avoid his leg touching the steps or dugout floor. Akil has such an expression-filled face at all times, best seen during happier times (see the smiling image in the game summary linked below), so as you can imagine, the video caught all of his facial concerns throughout the incident. Here's the video of the play, and just as the camera cuts from Baddoo, you can catch a glimpse of him reaching down. You won't see more than that in the brief clip. Baddoo had been activated from the Brewers 60-day IL after missing time with a significant quadriceps strain. He was reinstated on May 24 and optioned to Triple-A Nashville once his rehab assignment had completed. It's too early to say definitively it's an Achilles injury, but it's definitely something in the calf area. The always very detailed Nashville site game summary makes no mention of the injury, nor Baddoo's exit, but that's not unusual, you'll rarely if ever see any kind of specific injury speculation in such reports. On a much-less-important aspect of the play, the umpires goofed up the situation and had called time at some point, as Memphis respectfully but unsuccessfully argued that the runner replacing Baddoo (Greg Jones) should not matter, that Baddoo would have been out as not being on any bag when time was called. Nashville cruised to a 17-3 final score. Wishing Akil a best possible scenario.

Today's Biloxi Media Notes: HITTING FOR THE CYCLE (THE WATER CYCLE): Over the last 5 days, the Biloxi/Gulfport/Ocean Springs area has received 14.7” of rain, including 3.7” on Friday night... The average amount for the area for the month of June is 4.2”... Since May 1, the area has received 29.7” of rain, over 3 times the average rainfall for the two-month span... June, 2026, has been the rainiest month on record (15.9”) since June, 2017, when the area received 25.8” of rain.

This is an outlier season, it hasn’t been nearly as disruptive in recent seasons. I don’t get any sense that the Brewers are unsatisfied with the Biloxi relationship.

All minor league associations across baseball are ten-year binding through 2030.

Uribe touched every rung of the system except High-A Wisconsin during his journey - DSL, Maryvale, even advanced rookie Rocky Mountain.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The Sounds said goodbye to their first-half playoff hopes, while the Shuckers inched closer to clinching. We try to explain why incredible Maryvale right fielder Alexander Frias hasn't landed in Wilson yet. Transactions: Nashville Sounds activated RHP J.B. Bukauskas from the 7-day injured list. SS/3B Cristopher Acosta placed on ACL Brewers’ 7-day injured list Acosta last played on June 8th. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Memphis (Cardinals) 4, Nashville 1 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 Eliminated from First Half Playoff Race - Stallings shined in team-high 11th start of season The game summary didn't include video of the Luis Lara RBI single in the 5th that drove in Ethan Murray for the Sounds' lone run, but you can see it here. On the same play, Ramon Rodriguez is out at the plate as the video is unfortunately too reminiscent of the key play in the parent club's loss in Atlanta Friday night. Speaking of reminiscent with the big-league Brewers, this didn't cost the Sounds the game but reminds us of the Jake Woodford era: Lara joined Eddys Leonard (you read about Leonards' three walks in the summary) to reach base more than once, as Lara was hit by a pitch. It's true that Lara has cooled in June (.467 OPS in 11 games), but I've seen too many online concerns about that tiny sample vs. the weight of Lara's incredible work the prior two full months. Concerns? Jett Williams has a .239 OBP in June, and his 0-for-4, three K night in the leadoff spot dragged his overall numbers further. Yes, four HR's this month is helpful, but what seemed an imminent call-up is now anything but. Williams isn't going to supplant Joey Ortiz as part of an MLB platoon soon despite an .862 OPS vs. AAA southpaws this season. Williams started his second game at shortstop since Cooper Pratt's call-up. Brock Wilken was on the bench again, as his days off become more frequent. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Game One: Biloxi 14, Columbus (Braves) 3, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Game Two: Biloxi 1, Columbus 1, Suspended heading to the bottom of the 3rd in Biloxi, scheduled for seven innings Box Score and Game Log Shuckers Magic Number Drops to Two, Game Two Suspended in Third Inning - Made records four RBI in game one, four Shuckers record multi-hit efforts Thankfully, the Shuckers socials were all about it, as was MiLB Pipeline. Specific to Jesús Made, here are the four RBI from Game One followed by his run-scoring hit in Game Two: You are invited to visit the Shuckers' 'X' feed for the Jacob Hurtubise, Blake Burke, Josh Adamczewski, Eric Brown, Jr. and Andrew Fischer highlights, as well as the game-ending double play. Whenever three runs scored on an extra-base hit, it'll get placed in this Link Reporter's submission, as Dylan O'Rae matched Made's earlier such knock with one of his own: No concerns with O'Rae and Adamczewski exiting the opening game, those were "blowout moves" as each was in the starting lineup for Game Two. Despite not walking a batter (one HBP), starting RHP Jaron DeBerry needed 93 pitches to gut out five innings of eight-hit, two-run ball for the win. Still, a solid outing. Pretty cool how the Shuckers host New Orleans Saints legends each year. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 12, Quad Cities (Royals) 2 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Bitonti Blasts Bandits with Five-Hit, Four-RBI Night - Wisconsin wins second half opener 12-2 We always tell you that game summaries are a must-see, must-read, and this is a perfect example. No just for all the embedded highlights, but also the eye-opening bookend notes from Chris Mehring regarding Eric Bitonti's Thursday night, as well as his place in T-Rat history regarding multiple five-hit efforts. Braylon Payne scored each of the three times he reached as his OPS now sits at .989. Josiah Ragsdale doubled and tripled and isn't far behind in OPS at .904. Adam who? Andrew who? As we await the return of Luis Pena (apparent minor hamstring issue), the Wisconsin lineup should maintain enough firepower to function well, even without any significant backfills for the Adamczewski and Fischer departures. The roster will be a bit top-heavy and will need the bottom of the order to provide production more often. We have solved the Wande Torres mystery. The talented but often frustrating 21-year-old, no longer the 190 pounds listed on his player page, simply needs to pitch on the 19th of the month, or at least be convinced it's the 19th each time he takes the mound. Check out Torres' game log, littered with rough efforts, but two games in particular stand out. The River Bandits starter, RHP Kendry Chourio (a Venezuelan native and apparently a popular surname in that country), was the first 18-year-old to pitch in a High-A contest since 2021 when the Marlins' Eury Perez did so. The Rattlers scoring seven runs against him (five earned) is impressive but also note that Chourio walked none (one HBP, Payne) and struck out ten in 4.2 innings. Thankfully the Royals AA affiliate isn't in the Southern League but look for this young man's future career path. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Charleston (Rays) 4, Wilson 2 Box Score and Game Log Wilson Bats Quieted in Second Half Opener - Mills Provides Offense with Homer We love much of what you're doing, 18-year-old Brady Ebel, but the RiverDogs' starter set the tone in the 1st inning and finished with no walks and nine K's: Wilson RH starter Tyler Renz tossed scoreless ball through three innings, but a pitching line can be impacted by a single pitch, and Renz knew this one was a mistake: Newcomer RHP Bryce Schaum has not been scored upon in four outings, but the 23-year-old got help from plenty of hands in the 9th: Brady Marget singles on a line drive to left fielder Tyler Rodriguez. Brendan Summerhill out at home on the throw, left fielder Tyler Rodriguez to catcher Rylan Mills to second baseman Luis Lameda to catcher Rylan Mills to shortstop Juan Ortuno to right fielder José Anderson to first baseman Frederi Montero. Alberth Palma to 3rd. Brady Marget to 2nd. Your box score review will show a quiet night outside of the Mills blast. Thankfully this output, so common in April, is pretty rare for the Warbirds these days. Final: ACL Guardians 14, ACL Brewers 11 Box Score and Game Log This was such a good point made by my fellow Link Reporter "Ro" in our forum thread: The only thing holding up (Frias') promotion to Wilson is probably the ACL squad’s lack of depth -> just 3 bench position players, one of which (OF Kenny Fenelon) is probably not available after exiting Tuesday’s game early. What is going on, Brewers Player Development? Is the organization right up against the 165-man stateside player limit? Can't ever remember a complex league team, even after the consolidation to one Arizona League squad, being so lean from a position player standpoint. For this game, other than the sidelined Fenelon, the only bench players were 1B/C Jonathan Rangel and catcher Freider Rojas. 18-year-old 2025 bonus baby Brailyn Antunez (1.023 OPS in 13 June games) homered (his 5th), singled, walked twice, stole his 9th base in 12 tries, Gee, the Cleveland kids played clean defense and did not allow any unearned runs. The A-Crew committed four errors and allowed three unearned runs. Gee, look at the final score. But let's not kid ourselves. Maryvale pitchers walked 12 (three wild pitches) and only fanned two. Maryvale batters went 5-for-23 (wow, 23!) with RISP. Cleveland batters were 6-for-18, so a combined 41 AB's with RISP in this three-hour, 36-minute contest for the legions in attendance. Earlier in the day, we indicated that RHP Hayden Vucinovich was lined up to pitch on his 19th birthday, and sure enough, he did. Vucinovich will continue to work on things as he's now walked 27 in 15.2 innings. It does make you appreciate what other recent high school picks like Renz and Jayden Dubanewicz accomplished when they toiled in the desert. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 11, DSL Athletics 4 Box Score and Game Log The Golden Boys improved to 4-10 with this win, scoring in four of the first five innings to jump to an 11-1 lead before quietly coasting in the latter innings. Still just 17 years old, Venezuelan LHP Santiago Martinez now has a 19-to-3 K-to-BB mark through three appearances. After pitching five, then four, innings in his first two outings, he was lifted with two outs in the 3rd here, immediately after retiring two batters, the last on a strikeout. Hopefully the young man is OK. Angeni Fernandez did not come cheap last January with a $500,000 bonus for the still-just-16-year-old Dominican native. Thus far, he has started seven games in center field, three in left, and the right-handed batter started his third game at second base here. Fernandez singled twice and drew four walks, that'll lift one's OBP quickly (now .477 through 13 games). Ricki Moneys has ten hits in his last five games and with all due respect to the younger crowd here, this late rock legend namesake says his bat was Shakin': I didn't have time to time-stamp Brewers Gold highlights here, but if you care to attempt to do so, let us know what and when in the comments: Final: DSL Royals Fortuna 3, DSL Brewers Blue 0 Box Score and Game Log The rare day when the now 9-4 Blue squad is outperformed by their DSL mates on the Gold side. Blue batters outhit the Royals 6-5, including doubles for 16-year-old Leanders Matos and catcher Yoneiker Lugo, but stranded nine with a 1-for-8 with RISP effort, obviously no RBI in the shutout loss. Lugo grounded out to end the 6th and was then replaced the next half-inning, so as we so often say, something to monitor. RHP Justin Lugo, a Dominican native not related to his aforementioned Venezuelan batterymate, had the strongest of the three Blue pitching lines, though all three hurlers were solid. I'll be back for you Sunday AM, and the only reason seven games are scheduled rather than eight is that the two DSL squads again face each other.
