  7. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic We spotlight a 16-year-old and a barely 17-year-old this morning. The 2032 Brewers are looking good! Actually, this system has the organization projected to shine for at least that long. Heady times... Transactions: ACL Brewers activated SS Cristopher Acosta from the 7-day injured list. Acosta, 18, last played on June 8th. The SS/3B has struggled to a .167/.330/.251 line in 330 plate appearances since debuting in the Dominican League in 2025. That's not meeting the expectations of a $1.1 million signing bonus. Final: ACL White Sox 8, ACL Brewers 7, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log The A-Crew kicked of their final week of action (season ends Thursday) with a tough loss, A five-run third inning for Maryvale turned a 4-2 deficit into a 7-4 lead., but the Brewers didn't cross the plate in the final four innings to fall to 25-33. Each Brewer reached base at least once, with cleanup RF Gerlyn Payano on thrice via two walks and a plunking to lift his season long OBP to .390, split between the DSL and ACL. Payano's 2026 has been very reliant on free passes and he's struggled otherwise. The previously mentioned Cristopher Acosta singled in four at-bats in his return to action. The other two big bonus signings from the January 2025 class each had an extra-base hit - CF Brailyn Antunez' solid season continued with his 14th double. For Antunez (.902 OPS), 27 of his 62 hits have gone for extra bases. LF Kenny Fenelon pulled a two-run home run to left field at 105.3 MPH for his 7th blast of the season. Fenelon and Antunez have both made significant strides coming off what had to be considered disappointing DSL debut campaigns last summer. The pitching lines will show that the efforts were rather uneven, though 18-year-old RHP Joan Pena fared OK despite allowing one inherited runner to score. Pena received a deserved bump to Arizona following his rookie DSL season but has a 1.74 WHIP over 39 desert innings (47 K's, 29 BB's, lots of pitches). Lots of unearned runs allowed by Pena this season (31 R, 21 ER), an underrated stat to review - young arms need to pick up teammates at times. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 8, DSL CLE Mendoza (Guardians) 5 Box Score and Game Log Gold moves to 19-14 with the win, having righted its ship after a bit of a recent slide. On the flip side from Joan Pena's 2026 season, we present 19-year-old 2nd year pro RHP Derlin Garcia, who has now posted wonderful raw and peripheral numbers in his two seasons (a combined 3.05 ERA, only five unearned runs, a 1.13 WHIP, 62K's in 56 IP). Garcia rocked his six-inning start here, keeping Cleveland bats off the ledger after a two-run initial frame. It is a legal requirement that we continue to mention catcher Moises Salazar is 16 years old. Plugged into the three-hole, the switch-hitting Salazar (.887 OPS) popped his 3rd home run and his HBP brought his OBP to .444. He guided Garcia's mound effort, the team played error-free on the day, and even with many spectacular Dominican League efforts among the Blue & Gold squads this season, I'd have to list the Venezuelan backstop as my personal favorite. The only bummer here? Ricki Moneys grounds into a force out, shortstop Karel Naranjo to second baseman Luis Garcia. Jefer Lista scores. Santiago Garcia out at 2nd. Ricki Moneys to 1st. Throwing error by second baseman Luis Garcia. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Romano Donato replaces Ricki Moneys. Hopefully just a minor tweak for Mr. Moneys-in-the-Bank. (WWE reference). Final: DSL Cubs Blue 8, DSL Brewers Blue 7 Box Score and Game Log Blue now 20-14. Trailing 8-4 after six innings, Blue scored once in the 7th and twice in the 9th, stranding runners on 2nd and 3rd when 19-year-old 3rd year catcher Yoneiker Lugo (DH'ing here) was called out on strikes to end the game. Lugo has a .577 OPS, only 53 plate appearances in 2026. Five players appeared to be available on the bench, but the extent go-for-it managerial moves are made at this level is somewhat muted. Let each player get their chance to produce, big moment or not. Oh, Leanders Matos, don't worry about the Moises Salazar love, you're still prime in our eyes as well. Three singles, a walk and a 13th stolen base in 14 tries for the young man who was 16 years old himself a bit over two weeks ago. We'll overlook the 8th error in 35 games (5th miscue in 20 games at third base). One more 16-year-old to mention, as RHP Jordy Brache got the start. As you read the line below, keep in mind that RHP Lonell Downs inherited three runners and stranded them all by ending the "rally" below with a GIDP. Walk Walk Walk Strike out swinging Walk Run-scoring wild pitch Walk Run-scoring wild pitch HBP It's a traditional six-game schedule Tuesday, although Nashville's visit to Sugarland, Texas (to play a Pacific Coast League team is not traditional). Manager Rick Sweet is mildly bothered by it all. Have a great summer Tuesday, all.

  11. Sunday 7/19: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast (Recorded Sunday AM): - "On this week's show the guys discussed a couple of minor trades, a couple of wins coming out of the break, the outfield, Craig Yoho and technology in baseball." AUDIO option via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with JP Feyereisen: "The Brewers opened up the second half with a sweep of Miami but got some very bad news about Brandon Woodruff in the process." Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "The Brewers staged two walk-off wins in a sweep of the Marlins after the all-star break; are we crazy to still have serious questions about this offense? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the great start to the unofficial second half, even with discouraging injury news about Brandon Woodruff (and Sal Frelick, for that matter). They discuss the Lance McCullers acquisition and why it doesn't change much for Milwaukee, Christian Yelich at leadoff and Garrett Mitchell's bona fide breakout season. In Three Up Three Down (41:45), they hit on a first-round draft pick signing, an infamous 2022 trade that got a strange spotlight in 2026 and some actual good news on the injury front. In Remembrew When (57:15), JR riffs on a week of smoky skies to discuss a 1977 fog game. In Curt Blanche (1:00:45), Curt finds issues with a popular sports brand and JR has some thoughts on the all-star game discourse. Then, JR is joined by new Brewers infielder Braden Shewmake (1:09:30), who found himself a Brewer with one game to play before the all-star break. They discuss his brief time as a Savannah Banana, his father's ties to Texas Division III baseball, his future Brewers teammate who was a Team USA roommate and how he gives back through hunting."

  12. This thread will be utilized for any minor league news Monday. Organizational Scoreboard *** Monday's Birthdays: RHP Griffin Tobias turns 21 today. The 2024 9th round pick out of an Indiana high school finished the 2025 season with Carolina, having been placed on the Mudcat injured list as August ended. He attempted to rehab his elbow without surgery and starting this past May 21st, made three Arizona Complex League rehab appearances. Unfortunately, he underwent Tommy John surgery just recently. Wishing him the best in his rehab journey. Catcher Kevin Garcia of the Warbirds is 19 years old as of today. Despite that youthful age, the native of Venezuela is already in his third year in the system and is seeing action for the 2nd year in the Carolina League.
  13. You'll find that DSL All-Star Game box score here as of 11:00 AM Central.
  14. We haven't used much ink on 3rd year RH reliever Justin Lugo this season, but the 20-year-old's (21 in November) 23 strikeouts in 13.1 innings are worth noting - but also with 12 free passes. Good for the young man, he's an All-Star, and they can't take that away from him.

  16. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The Brewers affiliates were 0-6 on Saturday, outscored 49-17, think of it as a combined NFL blowout score. Biloxi Starting RHP Jaron DeBerry exited early (injury, perhaps illness, video was inconclusive). It wasn't a good day. Transaction: Milwaukee Brewers recalled CF Blake Perkins from Nashville Sounds. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Norfolk (Orioles) 9, 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: Sounds Drop Third Straight in 9-2 Loss to Norfolk - Black extended his on-base streak to 23 consecutive games Perhaps evident of a lopsided loss, we won't be able to accentuate a whole lot of positive as is our Link Report norm. The summary's Tyler Black notes are fine and all, but there's been so much "been there, done that" on his journey and his no-options-for-2027 sullies whatever hope remained there. The Carlos Rodriguez saga is likewise not heading for a happy ending, at least with the Brewers. Another final option year member of the 40-man roster, the best the front office could hope for now is a throw-in sweetening of the pot on a deadline deal, but efforts like Saturday night's in a non-descript relief role won't help. Newcomer southpaw Colton Gordon struck out five in five innings (only one walk) in his Milwaukee organization debut. Each of the run-scoring Kjerstad, Tromp and Fabian knocks all left the bat at a minimum of 97.2 MPH (we don't see the 104.8 MPH triple he allowed to begin the fateful 4th). Jett Williams, still not on the seven-day IL with his wrist injury, but still idle since July 7th. Impressive blast for Wilken, but 0-for-14 since his prior base hit, as the summary noted. Do we kind of acknowledge the Brocket's with a shrug? We'll throw in a garbage time Luis Matos RBI single just for the token "accentuate the positive" vibe. RHP Coleman Crow gets the start Sunday. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Former Manager Joe Ayrault, now the organization's MiLB Field Coordinator, is the most recent Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 16, Biloxi 6 Box Score and Game Log Shuckers Handed Lump of Coal by Blue Wahoos on Christmas in July - Bah Humbug in Biloxi After Beat Down by Pensacola Notice how those responsible for placing the titles on these affiliate write-ups are often at their creative best on "down" nights. If your name was Blake Burke, Dylan O'Rae, Josiah Ragsdale, Matthew Wood or Jack Seppings, your bottom-line stats page had a decent-to-good night. You know it's not a fun evening when consecutive Link Report opponents make use of a multi-box to get their offensive outburst points across. Jaron DeBerry allowed a three-run bomb in the first (be prepared, the Pensacola call is LOUD), and then DeBerry's second inning began HBP, soft infield single, then the single to center you see in the first of the three clips in the montage above. Notice that the other highlights above are with a lefty on the mound. That's 21-year-old Anthony Flores, who did not fare well during his brief outing. But more importantly, DeBerry's DeParture (wordplay there I would have preferred not to type) was not traditional. For those with archive subscriptions at MiLB.TV, visit the 01:34:00 hour/minute mark here. There's simply no clear indication as to why DeBerry essentially pulled himself by what he revealed in talking with management and training staff on the mound, but he fist-bumped his teammates on the way out. Hoping perhaps this was more illness-than-injury related? Not to throw more cold water on the night, but Mike Boeve has not played in either game since play resumed this week. Boeve is batting .341 in July after posting an OPS of .933 in June. It could be nothing more than attending to a personal matter, just pointing it out as something to monitor. Andrew Fischer singled in five at-bat's, three of them ended in K's (33.7% on the season, 34.7% at the AA level). Consistently fascinating for Mr. 1.113 OPS in 2026! If you're feeling fatalistic this morning, the Pensacola "X" feed has plenty more lowlights. Blame the ugly Christmas sweater concept, which in theory, looked fun when the 2025-2026 offseason Shuckers marketing meetings took place. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Quad Cities (Royals) 6, Wisconsin 2, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Bandits Bop Rattlers in Game One Air Quality Concerns Cancel Second Game of Wisconsin’s Doubleheader with Quad Cities - Game will not be rescheduled Kudos to airing (OK, that pun was indeed intended) on the side of caution, Wisconsin front office. That bottom of the first inning, well documented in the summary, fits into the night's exasperating theme. Royals appear to have a good one two-to-three years away: Wisconsin plunked the Quad Cities first baseman three times - once by Dubanewicz, twice by Jason Woodward, who is still trying to get his footing in 2026. Timber Rattlers still sit atop the 2nd half Midwest League standings. We'll see if the cancelled game comes into play at season's end. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Hickory (Rangers) 5, Wilson 4 Box Score and Game Log Late Rally Lifts Hickory Past Wilson - Warbirds hit three home runs in loss The one bright spot accounting for all the Warbird scoring - notice the Hickory staff doesn't quite have the follow-the-ball thing down pat on home runs - Neither RHP Jarrette Bonet nor LHP Joey Broughton were badly roughed up in their respective outings, it's just neither was effective enough in the end. Handelfry Encarnacion on base four times with a double and three walks but is only 19-of-30 in stolen base attempts. Jose Anderson 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as his K percentage reaches 39%. A couple of sobering video clips as our evening recap continues: My goodness, what a bomb to break the tie for Hickory in the 8th And what a fitting game-ending way to conclude our tour of the full-season affiliates Wilson sits in 3rd place, one game out, in the Carolina League 2nd half standings. Final, completion of suspended game of July 13th: ACL Dodgers 7, ACL Brewers 3, ten innings Box Score and Game Log This is what we wrote on the early portion of Monday's game - "Play was halted with two outs in the bottom of the 3rd in Maryvale. The Brewers have a 3-0 lead with men on 1st and 3rd base and first baseman Jonathan Rangel at the plate. Rehabbing LHP JD Thompson, who had not pitched with Wisconsin since leaving his June 2nd start early, threw two scoreless innings, inducing ground ball outs to the first four batters he faced. He ended the 2nd inning with a strikeout (on an automatic strike), a single and a lineout. RHP Caleb Nieman stranded two in the 3rd. The A-Crew patched together a two-out rally to plate a run in the 2nd and grab the lead - a Rangel walk, Leonard Rijo ground ball single to right, moving Rangel to 3rd, and Engel Paulino double on a pop up to apparent no-man's land behind first base. Catcher Freider Rojas fanned leaving two in scoring position. In the Maryvale 3rd, Brailyn Antunez singled with one out, followed by a Kenny Fenelon hit-by-pitch. Gerlyn Payano, acting as the DH in this game, doubled to center scoring Antunez but Fenelon was thrown out at third base for the second out. A wild pitch moved Payano to third base and shortstop CJ Hughes walked before the game was called due to rare Arizona rain." So, we pick it up on Saturday: There are a series of posts from our daily thread here you should read. Those posts let you know the uniqueness of the pitching lines in the box score. As that link will show, it was a comedy of errors that allowed the game to be tied by the Dodgers in the 7th, and as he was for that inning, RHP Hayden Vucinovich was on the mound for the blow-up 10th. Can't fault Vucinovich fully for the first frame, but the other was much of his own doing, though only one of the seven runs total he allowed was earned. Game began in Maryvale, ended at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, neither provided Statcast data. I had titled our daily thread on the Minor League Forum Saturday "DeBerry and Dubanewicz Got Da Goods". Starting to think I shouldn't have done that. Final, regularly scheduled game: ACL Dodgers 6, ACL Brewers 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Two measly hits for the A-Crew, a Brailyn Antunez double and a Moises Polanco single. They hit back-to-back in the order (Antunez as the DH), but their base hits came in separate innings, thus the shutout. Three Brewers reached by free pass (two walks, one HBP). Twelve Brewers struck out, the bottom four in the order 0-for-10 fanning eight times. Team RISP: 0-for-4. Team LOB: 4. Kind of a perfect way to cap this Link Report. We will note there was another oddity here. The day's box scores will show that JD Thompson started both contests, gotta love suspended game magic! His combined line: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K.

  17. The Brewers affiliates were 0-6 on Saturday, outscored 49-17, think of it as a combined NFL blowout score. Biloxi Starting RHP Jaron DeBerry exited early (injury, perhaps illness, video was inconclusive). It wasn't a good day. Transaction: Milwaukee Brewers recalled CF Blake Perkins from Nashville Sounds. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Norfolk (Orioles) 9, 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: Sounds Drop Third Straight in 9-2 Loss to Norfolk - Black extended his on-base streak to 23 consecutive games Perhaps evident of a lopsided loss, we won't be able to accentuate a whole lot of positive as is our Link Report norm. The summary's Tyler Black notes are fine and all, but there's been so much "been there, done that" on his journey and his no-options-for-2027 sullies whatever hope remained there. The Carlos Rodriguez saga is likewise not heading for a happy ending, at least with the Brewers. Another final option year member of the 40-man roster, the best the front office could hope for now is a throw-in sweetening of the pot on a deadline deal, but efforts like Saturday night's in a non-descript relief role won't help. Newcomer southpaw Colton Gordon struck out five in five innings (only one walk) in his Milwaukee organization debut. Each of the run-scoring Kjerstad, Tromp and Fabian knocks all left the bat at a minimum of 97.2 MPH (we don't see the 104.8 MPH triple he allowed to begin the fateful 4th). Jett Williams, still not on the seven-day IL with his wrist injury, but still idle since July 7th. Impressive blast for Wilken, but 0-for-14 since his prior base hit, as the summary noted. Do we kind of acknowledge the Brocket's with a shrug? We'll throw in a garbage time Luis Matos RBI single just for the token "accentuate the positive" vibe. RHP Coleman Crow gets the start Sunday. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Former Manager Joe Ayrault, now the organization's MiLB Field Coordinator, is the most recent Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 16, Biloxi 6 Box Score and Game Log Shuckers Handed Lump of Coal by Blue Wahoos on Christmas in July - Bah Humbug in Biloxi After Beat Down by Pensacola Notice how those responsible for placing the titles on these affiliate write-ups are often at their creative best on "down" nights. If your name was Blake Burke, Dylan O'Rae, Josiah Ragsdale, Matthew Wood or Jack Seppings, your bottom-line stats page had a decent-to-good night. You know it's not a fun evening when consecutive Link Report opponents make use of a multi-box to get their offensive outburst points across. Jaron DeBerry allowed a three-run bomb in the first (be prepared, the Pensacola call is LOUD), and then DeBerry's second inning began HBP, soft infield single, then the single to center you see in the first of the three clips in the montage above. Notice that the other highlights above are with a lefty on the mound. That's 21-year-old Anthony Flores, who did not fare well during his brief outing. But more importantly, DeBerry's DeParture (wordplay there I would have preferred not to type) was not traditional. For those with archive subscriptions at MiLB.TV, visit the 01:34:00 hour/minute mark here. There's simply no clear indication as to why DeBerry essentially pulled himself by what he revealed in talking with management and training staff on the mound, but he fist-bumped his teammates on the way out. Hoping perhaps this was more illness-than-injury related? Not to throw more cold water on the night, but Mike Boeve has not played in either game since play resumed this week. Boeve is batting .341 in July after posting an OPS of .933 in June. It could be nothing more than attending to a personal matter, just pointing it out as something to monitor. Andrew Fischer singled in five at-bat's, three of them ended in K's (33.7% on the season, 34.7% at the AA level). Consistently fascinating for Mr. 1.113 OPS in 2026! If you're feeling fatalistic this morning, the Pensacola "X" feed has plenty more lowlights. Blame the ugly Christmas sweater concept, which in theory, looked fun when the 2025-2026 offseason Shuckers marketing meetings took place. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Quad Cities (Royals) 6, Wisconsin 2, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Bandits Bop Rattlers in Game One Air Quality Concerns Cancel Second Game of Wisconsin’s Doubleheader with Quad Cities - Game will not be rescheduled Kudos to airing (OK, that pun was indeed intended) on the side of caution, Wisconsin front office. That bottom of the first inning, well documented in the summary, fits into the night's exasperating theme. Royals appear to have a good one two-to-three years away: Wisconsin plunked the Quad Cities first baseman three times - once by Dubanewicz, twice by Jason Woodward, who is still trying to get his footing in 2026. Timber Rattlers still sit atop the 2nd half Midwest League standings. We'll see if the cancelled game comes into play at season's end. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Hickory (Rangers) 5, Wilson 4 Box Score and Game Log Late Rally Lifts Hickory Past Wilson - Warbirds hit three home runs in loss The one bright spot accounting for all the Warbird scoring - notice the Hickory staff doesn't quite have the follow-the-ball thing down pat on home runs - Neither RHP Jarrette Bonet nor LHP Joey Broughton were badly roughed up in their respective outings, it's just neither was effective enough in the end. Handelfry Encarnacion on base four times with a double and three walks but is only 19-of-30 in stolen base attempts. Jose Anderson 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as his K percentage reaches 39%. A couple of sobering video clips as our evening recap continues: My goodness, what a bomb to break the tie for Hickory in the 8th And what a fitting game-ending way to conclude our tour of the full-season affiliates Wilson sits in 3rd place, one game out, in the Carolina League 2nd half standings. Final, completion of suspended game of July 13th: ACL Dodgers 7, ACL Brewers 3, ten innings Box Score and Game Log This is what we wrote on the early portion of Monday's game - "Play was halted with two outs in the bottom of the 3rd in Maryvale. The Brewers have a 3-0 lead with men on 1st and 3rd base and first baseman Jonathan Rangel at the plate. Rehabbing LHP JD Thompson, who had not pitched with Wisconsin since leaving his June 2nd start early, threw two scoreless innings, inducing ground ball outs to the first four batters he faced. He ended the 2nd inning with a strikeout (on an automatic strike), a single and a lineout. RHP Caleb Nieman stranded two in the 3rd. The A-Crew patched together a two-out rally to plate a run in the 2nd and grab the lead - a Rangel walk, Leonard Rijo ground ball single to right, moving Rangel to 3rd, and Engel Paulino double on a pop up to apparent no-man's land behind first base. Catcher Freider Rojas fanned leaving two in scoring position. In the Maryvale 3rd, Brailyn Antunez singled with one out, followed by a Kenny Fenelon hit-by-pitch. Gerlyn Payano, acting as the DH in this game, doubled to center scoring Antunez but Fenelon was thrown out at third base for the second out. A wild pitch moved Payano to third base and shortstop CJ Hughes walked before the game was called due to rare Arizona rain." So, we pick it up on Saturday: There are a series of posts from our daily thread here you should read. Those posts let you know the uniqueness of the pitching lines in the box score. As that link will show, it was a comedy of errors that allowed the game to be tied by the Dodgers in the 7th, and as he was for that inning, RHP Hayden Vucinovich was on the mound for the blow-up 10th. Can't fault Vucinovich fully for the first frame, but the other was much of his own doing, though only one of the seven runs total he allowed was earned. Game began in Maryvale, ended at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, neither provided Statcast data. I had titled our daily thread on the Minor League Forum Saturday "DeBerry and Dubanewicz Got Da Goods". Starting to think I shouldn't have done that. Final, regularly scheduled game: ACL Dodgers 6, ACL Brewers 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Two measly hits for the A-Crew, a Brailyn Antunez double and a Moises Polanco single. They hit back-to-back in the order (Antunez as the DH), but their base hits came in separate innings, thus the shutout. Three Brewers reached by free pass (two walks, one HBP).
