  1. ARTICLE: Thomas Dillard has hit a league-leading 30 home runs and 74 RBIs in the independent Atlantic League.
  2. Will be incorporated into Saturday AM's Link Report:Final: DSL Athletics 7, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 6Box Score / Game Log This summary courtesy of @Joseph Zarr in our daily "as-it-happens" and overnight thread. The DSL Brewers Uno lost a frustrating one vs the DSL Athletics conceding two runs (one earned) in the bottom of the 9th for the walk-off loss. A sequence of a single - sac bunt (throwing error) - single - single led to the loss at the hands (and arm) of 17-year-old Venezuelan RHP Argenis Aparicio. He picks up his first BS in his first SVO and takes the loss - 0-1 on his season. It's important to note here: he was done in by a 3B Jhon Bencosme throwing error during the sac bunt. Instead of one man aboard at 2B, he had two men aboard - at 2B and 3B. That's a challenging spot for any young hurler. The real blow, however, came in the bottom of the 8th when 17-year-old RHP Oliver Camilo unraveled after an opening pop out. Walk, single (runners advance on a CF Pedro Tovar error), walk, grand slam. The 6-1 game was suddenly 6-5. Just a rough way to lose this one. Elsewhere in the pitching side of things RHP Jose Meneses threw a fantastic scoreless 3 IP - 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K. Meneses teases us with outings like these throughout his DSL seasons (this being his second with the Crew). But, it's hard to get a read on him other than he is getting better results in 2023 but still likely seeing too many batters on base regularly - 21 H, 17 BB, 3 HB in 27 1/3 IP. This has led to a slightly elevated 1.36 WHIP. But, he's preventing any big blowouts holding his ERA to a very respectable and impressive 1.63 - perhaps, aided by his 27 K. There is certainly enough here to be intrigued moving forward: I also look at the fairly unlucky 0.296 BABIP and consider he could be having an even better season if he could tone back the walks. I definitely want to see what he is capable of stateside. Offensively, the day's highlights appear to have belonged to 1B/C Brayan Oropeza - 4-for-5, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 2B. INF Kevin Ereu continues to make impact at the dish as well - 0-for-1, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SF (though he was picked off 1B as well). Despite the 8th inning fielding error, CF Pedro Tovar managed a 2-for-4 day at the dish - 1 R, 1 BB, 1 2B, 1 SB. No doubt, the Crew Uno will look back not so fondly at this one - the late errors, the six runs allowed over the final two frames, and the 3-for-17 mark with RISP will sting for a bit. With their second loss in a row and 5-5 mark over their last 10, the DSL Cerveceros Uno have fallen back to 3rd place behind both Dodgers affiliates in the DSL North Division. They remain 8.5 GB of the first place DSL Dodgers Bautista and now sport a respectable 22-16 record overall. Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 4, DSL Dodgers Bautista 3 Box Score / Game Log More via Joseph... If I'm not mistaken, that is the 2nd straight victory by the DSL Crew Dos versus the LAD Bautista? Heck of an accomplishment by the young men! A walk-off single to RF off the unlikely bat of Smarlin Espinal. You love to see it. The 'Day at the Dish' award has to go to 17-year-old OF/1B (1B today) Danny Puerta - 3-for-3, 2 R, 1 BB, 2 2B. Heck of a performance. OF Demetrio Nadal stayed impactful as all get out in the lead-off: 1-for-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 SB. What a season he is having so far this summer. Dominican 19-year-old RHP Aneuris Rodriguez (in his second Brewers DSL season) closed things over the final 3 IP - 1 H, 0 BB, 2 K, 0 R. He picked up the 'W' and moved to 1-1 on his season. Intriguing arm to date.

  11. With the full-season affiliates idle on Monday's, our Tuesday AM reports can be a bit straightforward, as the rookie-level clubs get the sometimes-subdued spotlight. But on this particular Monday, the young men put on quite the stirring show, even if we could only follow via box scores and game logs. We attempt to bring it all to life best we can in our report, which commences now! Thanks for visiting as always. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Before we visit the results of the three rookie-level games, feel free to catch up with all kinds of prospect audio/media: Nashville Pre-Game Audio from last week Biloxi's Pre-Game Interview Page Rolls On First baseman Ernesto Martinez is Kyle Lobner's latest profile and guest via "T-Rats Talk" AUDIO via the "Pack the Brew" Podcast (Apple Podcast): Interview with Brewers 10th round RHP Morris Austin out of Houston Christian University (go to the 27:25 minute mark), Spotify link here TRANSACTIONS: - RHP Jason Alexander outrighted to AAA Nashville (where he was already playing) from MLB 40-man roster - INF Alexander Perez was assigned to the ACL Brewers from the Carolina Mudcats - 3B Brock Wilken (1st round pick) assigned to ACL Brewers - 3B Mike Boeve (2nd round pick) assigned to ACL Brewers - C Alejandro Rodriguez (undrafted free agent) assigned to ACL Brewers Final: ACL Brewers 11, ACL Guardians 7, seven innings as scheduledBox Score / Game Log2023 first round draft pick 21-year old 3B Brock Wilken made his organizational debut, DH-ing for the A-Crew. Facing 24-year old RHP JT Ginn (who's rehabbing, normally playing in AA ball), Wilken managed an infield single to second base in his first pro at-bat (must have squirted into right field, save that ball!). In the 2nd inning, Wilken pulled a sacrifice fly to left field. He then walked against a 19-year-old RHP before being replaced mid-game. So, after one game, a 1.000 AVG and 1.667 OPS, that'll work! Three youngsters who have excelled all season starred here as well. Leading off, middle infielder Dylan O'Rae (playing second base), drove in five. For those of you who immediately clicked on the box score link above, it was for sure O'Rae's line that grabbed your eye, a double and a sacrifice fly part of his 3-for-4 day. O'Rae was the 102nd pick overall last summer (3rd round out of a Canada high school). In 127 plate appearances this season, the LH-hitting O'Rae has reached in nearly half (.488 OBP!). In the three-hole, infielder Juan Baez was on base four times himself, he's managed a .423 OBP despite only drawing three walks (one of which was in this game). Is a .450 BABIP sustainable? So far, it is for the RH-swinging Dominican native. All three hits were singles here, but Baez has been whacking XBH's galore, slugging .597. Starting RHP Manuel Rodriguez has been a revelation despite the fact he won't even turn 18 years old for two weeks. We don't get pitch counts from rookie-level box scores, but Rodriguez was allowed to work 5.2 innings (no walks helps), striking out six in an effective effort. The native of Mexico is carrying a 1.01 WHIP through 28.2 innings, with the only blemish having allowed five long balls in the Arizona air (two in this game). Just the fact that the Brewers brought him stateside in his age 17 season speaks volumes. The game was 11-3 Brewers until the bottom of the final frame, when an Athletics grand slam tightened things up. Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 9, DSL Giants Black 8, ten inningsBox Score / Game Log Is following a Gameday from the Dominican live exhilarating? If so, this one certainly qualified as edge-of-your-seat. Hosting the Giants, watch a 4-3 lead disappear in the top of the 9th as two runs scored. It could have been much worse, as Team Uno coaxed a 4-6-3 double play to end the frame down just one. The Cerveceros then loaded the bases with just one out in the bottom of the 9th, although they could only score the tying run on a sacrifice fly from LF Brian Sanchez (DH'ing here) and his .940 OPS. The Giants would score three runs without a single base hit in the 10th (trust me, visit the game log). Not to be dis-spirited, stay within that same game log as the first two Brewers made outs without even advancing the ghost runner. Then a walk and HBP loaded the bases, and fortunately stud top 2023 international signing CF Yophery Rodriguez was due up, and he pulled a three-run double to right field to tie the game. A throwing error by the A's second baseman sent the throngs home happy as the Crew celebrated. Rodriguez has walked more than he has struck out while posting a .280/.436/.492 line. He turns 18 in December, and may be the next player that age to take the Jackson Chourio / Luis Lara path to Carolina next spring. German catcher Yannic Walther has been solid, singling three times in this one. 18-year-old 2nd year Venezuelan LH starter Anthony Flores fanned eight in 4.2 innings, 39 K's in 28.2 IP in 2023. Team Uno now 21-14. Final: DSL Guardians Red 8, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 7, ten inningsBox Score / Game LogMore entertainment (despite the loss...) Down 7-3 entering the top of the 9th, Team Dos plated four to tie the game. An error by the Cleveland CF helped, but it was still a worthwhile rally (three singles, three walks within). The Guardians stranded runners on 2nd and 3rd in their scoreless 9th. A two-out lineout to short ended the ghost runner 10th for Milwaukee's club, no run scoring. The game was lost by three walks (one intentional), so it was indeed a "walk"-off loss. Not fair - given the loss on his record, LHP David Dominguez did not allow an earned run in 3.1 innings, but season-long control issues did lead to the final run plating. Yet another stat-filled line for INF/OF Demetrio Nadal, playing LF here. Sporting a 1.100 OPS, Nadal was on base four times (two singles, two HBP's), and stole three bases in four attempts (20-for-23 in attempts this season). Exciting indeed... Team Dos falls to 13-22. It's back to a full slate on Tuesday, the Sounds and Mudcats hit the road, while the Shuckers and Timber Rattlers return home. LHP Nate Peterson, up from Carolina, will make his Wisconsin debut.

Sunday 7/23:Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "The guys talked about A LOT of things this week, including the coming trade deadline, the potential for internal help, and other things...but let's be honest, this is the Sal Frelick episode.Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Sal Frelick, the new mayor of Milwaukee. Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a magical Saturday night in Milwaukee with a debut for the ages, the highlight of a 3-3 week. There's also plenty of trade deadline discussion as we get closer. Do we dare say the name Shohei Ohtani earnestly? They're definitely trading for a bat ... right? Right? They revisit some recurring themes: Jesse Winker, Keston Hiura, Freddy Peralta's struggles, a bullpen of hammers and more. Remembrew When recounts a debut most Brewers fans have probably forgotten, and in Curt Blanche, Curt admits he's changed his mind about something pretty big. Then, JR is joined by Jim Callis, senior writer for MLB.com, who discusses the Brewers draft and the savvy with which they added high-profile prep players in the third and sixth round. How does the slot value calculus work, exactly, on draft day? How were the Brewers able to pull the heist, and is it weird that the third and sixth rounders are the ones with so much buzz?"***Postgame Shows for Brewers 4-2 loss to Atlanta --Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "Bullpen lets the Brewers down; Reds are hot again and up next"Via 97.3's Baseball Postgame Show - Tim Allen hostsWTMJ with Dom Cotroneo: - Jerry Augustine is the guest

  20. One truly sweet aspect of Sal Frelick's historic phenomenal big-league debut is that every level of the organization can celebrate its own role in his success. For those in the amateur scouting department, you can bet high-fives were en vogue on draft day 2021 and again Saturday night. Frelick's pro ball journey touched every single level of the Brewers' organization, there wasn't a coaching staff or affiliate locale he did not experience. Frelick played 197 games in the system, starting off with four in the Maryvale heat. There were 16 games with the Mudcats, 36 as a Timber Rattler, 52 Shuckers contests, 86 played with the Sounds, and mix in another three for his latest Arizona rehab. Well done, everyone, bask in what was a truly special night. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Somehow, at every turn, the affiliates tried to match the level of excitement that Sal's debut brought to Am-Fam Field. It was an epic evening of action, as you'll see below. TRANSACTIONS: Brewers selected the contract of OF Sal Frelick from AAA Nashville (well, yeah...) 2B Noah Campbell assigned to AAA Nashville from AA Biloxi RHP Jacob Misiorowski assigned to AA Biloxi from High-A Wisconsin Final: Jacksonville (Marlins) 10, Nashville 9, ten innings Via the Sounds' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: Sounds Drop Thriller in Extras to Jumbo Shrimp - Patrick Dorrian ties it in ninth, but Jacksonville’s 10th inning tally gives them 10-9 win Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log Before (another) sellout crowd, and for those of us following online and bouncing from one Brewers virtual locale to another, it was as if the energy in Milwaukee transferred immediately to Nashville. On the Sounds' Twitter highlights, the little logo in the lower-right obscures some of the game info - keep in mind there were two outs when this happened, courtesy of Patrick Dorrian - Here's the Nashville media feed, which includes multiple additional game moments, including an odd bullpen-protecting miscue from Alex Claudio, who otherwise had the night off. From the linked summary you just read, and in direct relevancy to upcoming Milwaukee roster moves -- Justin Wilson continued his MLB rehab assignment with his sixth outing. Since joining Nashville on July 6, Wilson is 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA (5.2 IP/1 ER), 1.06 WHIP and .237 opponent batting average. Yes, Keston Hiura did not play, and it would seem to be nothing more than a standard day off. "Hug season" is wild across the baseball landscape. It was Monte Harrison striking out leading off the 10th that was the killer, not advancing the ghost runner. Bummer... Final: Biloxi 12, Montgomery (Rays) 7 Via the Shuckers' site: 10-Run Ninth Leads Shuckers to a 12-7 Comeback Win Over Biscuits - Shuckers score 10 runs on seven hits in the ninth to clinch first series win in Montgomery since 2018 Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log "10-Run Ninth" - not a headline you'll see very often. This game was streamed free to all via MiLB.com and certainly had the eye of national prospect watchers. What were we saying about the Frelick electricity magically permeating the rest of the system? Coming back from 7-2 to start the 9th is tremendous, but we do need to review the line from RHP Jacob Misiorowski's AA debut. It wasn't stellar, 4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 2 HBP's, 2 WP's, 5 K. It started well - Jackson Chourio is ridiculous. Tyler Black is ridiculous. Did I say it's a good time to be a Brewers fan? Now, not only is it a must to review the game log linked above for the wild 9th inning rally, but be sure to check out Cam Robinson's bottom of the 9th to close things out. It was...interesting. Jeferson Quero was idle, we hinted in yesterday's report that may be something to monitor, and it will definitely be if he's sitting again Sunday. Final: Dayton (Reds) 3, Wisconsin 0 Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Dayton Shuts Out Wisconsin - Woodruff looks sharp with three scoreless innings in rehab start Pre-Game Media Notes (Download Link) via the team's Virtual Press Box Box Score / Game Log So, in the midst of all the goings-on in Milwaukee, Nashville, and with Biloxi (in Montgomery, AL), the always sold-out Dayton ballpark hosted the T-Rats and Brandon Woodruff. Hopefully things worked out better from a uniform perspective than Big Woo's Timber Rattler stint last June. As for Woody's mound performance, it was wonderful. RHP Edwin Jimenez' five-inning piggyback outing was a bit uneven, but he spared the bullpen any action. Every Timber Rattlers game of late features an Ernesto Martinez mention, he was on base three times here. The rest of the lineup reached base twice. So, thanks Brandon, for making this a game of note on this exciting night. Final: Carolina 13, Kannapolis (White Sox) 1 Mudcats Hit Back-to-Back-to-Back Homers in 13-1 Victory - Jace Avina led the Mudcats with four hits, four runs, four RBI and two home runs Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log Post-Game Interview: Manager Victor Estevez - Yes, a must-listen... Carolina got the jump from a time perspective on all the Saturday festivities and didn't waste much at all. Like seriously? This happened! Backing up Logan Henderson, RHP Jesus Rivero showed why he earned a late-June jump up from Maryvale, three fine innings to get a "blowout save". LF Jace Avina only turned 20 years old last month. Fifty of his 101 pro hits have gone for extra bases, including 25 HR's. Yes, the strikeouts. Note only a .256 BABIP in 2023. Such a fascinating profile. Could see him repeating A-Ball to begin 2024, dominating, and then moving up. Huge 4-for-5 night here. This recent hot stretch finally brings Carolina over .500 at home at 22-21 (24-18 on the road). Thank goodness, because earlier home futility was infuriating as it contributed mightily to a first-half standings collapse. Final: ACL Brewers 10, ACL Guardians 8, seven innings as scheduledBox Score / Game LogA-Crew pitching was not good early here, surrendering all eight runs through the first four innings. So a huge shoutout to former Mudcat RHP Brailin Rodriguez. The 20-year-old (21 next month) had struggled in his comeback outings post-Tommy John surgery. His 3.1 inning line was near-immaculate here and allowed for a major Maryvale rally. That's a real feel-good effort, happy for the young man. It was "only" 106 degrees at game time for this day game, actually an improvement from recent contests. Smart to see that catchers still share duties in these games. Speaking of catchers, birthday boy Satchell Norman celebrated his 21st with a designated hitter assignment, two singles and a walk. Dylan O'Rae managed to lift his unworldly OBP to .484 - listed at 5'7", but we imagine that perhaps he's snuck up an inch or two since signing last summer.

Final: DSL Guardians Blue 12, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 6Box Score / Game LogThough now 20-14, the Brewers Uno club has lost three in a row, allowing exactly 12 runs in each contest.The Crew was actually up 6-5 heading to the bottom of the 7th. Skipper (and former Crew farmhand) Fidel Pena put his trust in 16-year-old RHP Saul Sanchez (17 next month), and the Nicaragua native was touched for a double and four singles in a four-run Guardians rally.Considering he'll turn 23 years old in October, 2nd-year RHP Roman Perez needs to tighten up his efforts, as 9-6 became 12-6 under his watch.Shoutout to recently-turned 19-year-old LF Idalberto Santiesteban, who singled twice and walked twice. At 6'2" and a LH bat, he's cut from central casting in the vitals department. Mix in an outfield assist (and a caught stealing). And if you think I typed his name without utilizing copy-and-paste, you'd be mistaken.It's been a tough rookie campaign for 17-year-old second baseman Jhon Bencosme, but the Dominican switch-hitter was placed in the leadoff spot, smacked two doubles, and walked.

  21. Somehow, at every turn, the affiliates tried to match the level of excitement that Sal's debut brought to Am-Fam Field. It was an epic evening of action, as you'll see below. TRANSACTIONS: Brewers selected the contract of OF Sal Frelick from AAA Nashville (well, yeah...) 2B Noah Campbell assigned to AAA Nashville from AA Biloxi RHP Jacob Misiorowski assigned to AA Biloxi from High-A Wisconsin Final: Jacksonville (Marlins) 10, Nashville 9, ten innings Via the Sounds' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: Sounds Drop Thriller in Extras to Jumbo Shrimp - Patrick Dorrian ties it in ninth, but Jacksonville’s 10th inning tally gives them 10-9 win Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log Before (another) sellout crowd, and for those of us following online and bouncing from one Brewers virtual locale to another, it was as if the energy in Milwaukee transferred immediately to Nashville. On the Sounds' Twitter highlights, the little logo in the lower-right obscures some of the game info - keep in mind there were two outs when this happened, courtesy of Patrick Dorrian - Here's the Nashville media feed, which includes multiple additional game moments, including an odd bullpen-protecting miscue from Alex Claudio, who otherwise had the night off. From the linked summary you just read, and in direct relevancy to upcoming Milwaukee roster moves -- Justin Wilson continued his MLB rehab assignment with his sixth outing. Since joining Nashville on July 6, Wilson is 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA (5.2 IP/1 ER), 1.06 WHIP and .237 opponent batting average. Yes, Keston Hiura did not play, and it would seem to be nothing more than a standard day off. "Hug season" is wild across the baseball landscape. It was Monte Harrison striking out leading off the 10th that was the killer, not advancing the ghost runner. Bummer... Final: Biloxi 12, Montgomery (Rays) 7 Via the Shuckers' site: 10-Run Ninth Leads Shuckers to a 12-7 Comeback Win Over Biscuits - Shuckers score 10 runs on seven hits in the ninth to clinch first series win in Montgomery since 2018 Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log "10-Run Ninth" - not a headline you'll see very often. This game was streamed free to all via MiLB.com and certainly had the eye of national prospect watchers. What were we saying about the Frelick electricity magically permeating the rest of the system? Coming back from 7-2 to start the 9th is tremendous, but we do need to review the line from RHP Jacob Misiorowski's AA debut. It wasn't stellar, 4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 2 HBP's, 2 WP's, 5 K. It started well - Jackson Chourio is ridiculous. Tyler Black is ridiculous. Did I say it's a good time to be a Brewers fan? Now, not only is it a must to review the game log linked above for the wild 9th inning rally, but be sure to check out Cam Robinson's bottom of the 9th to close things out. It was...interesting. Jeferson Quero was idle, we hinted in yesterday's report that may be something to monitor, and it will definitely be if he's sitting again Sunday. Final: Dayton (Reds) 3, Wisconsin 0 Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Dayton Shuts Out Wisconsin - Woodruff looks sharp with three scoreless innings in rehab start Pre-Game Media Notes (Download Link) via the team's Virtual Press Box Box Score / Game Log So, in the midst of all the goings-on in Milwaukee, Nashville, and with Biloxi (in Montgomery, AL), the always sold-out Dayton ballpark hosted the T-Rats and Brandon Woodruff. Hopefully things worked out better from a uniform perspective than Big Woo's Timber Rattler stint last June. As for Woody's mound performance, it was wonderful. RHP Edwin Jimenez' five-inning piggyback outing was a bit uneven, but he spared the bullpen any action. Every Timber Rattlers game of late features an Ernesto Martinez mention, he was on base three times here. The rest of the lineup reached base twice. So, thanks Brandon, for making this a game of note on this exciting night. Final: Carolina 13, Kannapolis (White Sox) 1 Mudcats Hit Back-to-Back-to-Back Homers in 13-1 Victory - Jace Avina led the Mudcats with four hits, four runs, four RBI and two home runs Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Game Log Post-Game Interview: Manager Victor Estevez - Yes, a must-listen... Carolina got the jump from a time perspective on all the Saturday festivities and didn't waste much at all. Like seriously? This happened! Backing up Logan Henderson, RHP Jesus Rivero showed why he earned a late-June jump up from Maryvale, three fine innings to get a "blowout save". LF Jace Avina only turned 20 years old last month. Fifty of his 101 pro hits have gone for extra bases, including 25 HR's. Yes, the strikeouts. Note only a .256 BABIP in 2023. Such a fascinating profile. Could see him repeating A-Ball to begin 2024, dominating, and then moving up. Huge 4-for-5 night here. This recent hot stretch finally brings Carolina over .500 at home at 22-21 (24-18 on the road). Thank goodness, because earlier home futility was infuriating as it contributed mightily to a first-half standings collapse. Final: ACL Brewers 10, ACL Guardians 8, seven innings as scheduledBox Score / Game LogA-Crew pitching was not good early here, surrendering all eight runs through the first four innings. So a huge shoutout to former Mudcat RHP Brailin Rodriguez. The 20-year-old (21 next month) had struggled in his comeback outings post-Tommy John surgery. His 3.1 inning line was near-immaculate here and allowed for a major Maryvale rally. That's a real feel-good effort, happy for the young man. It was "only" 106 degrees at game time for this day game, actually an improvement from recent contests. Smart to see that catchers still share duties in these games. Speaking of catchers, birthday boy Satchell Norman celebrated his 21st with a designated hitter assignment, two singles and a walk. Dylan O'Rae managed to lift his unworldly OBP to .484 - listed at 5'7", but we imagine that perhaps he's snuck up an inch or two since signing last summer. O'Rae had a triple among his contributions here. Please box score browse as all nine spots in the lineup contributed. Can you imagine "if"?!
