Pregame Audio Wednesday 5/6 - Brewers Hitting Coordinator Brenton Del Chiaro Always one of the most insightful voices within the organization...

Go to the 01:51:00 hour/minute mark for MiLB archive subscribers. On the first pitch of his at bat, Wilken fouled the ball off his front leg, and he immediately left the box, bent over for a good while, trying to stretch out his left calf area. After a couple of minutes with Trainer Jeff Paxson, Rick Sweet came out and pulled him from the at-bat. Wilken was able to walk back to the dugout, more of a hobble than a limp. I'm not a doctor but play one on Brewerfan forums, and am guessing (and hoping) it'll just be a nasty contusion and some residual pain for Brock, likely sitting out Thursday's doubleheader, but we'll see...

Impressive from the Biloxi Media Notes today: C Darrien Miller extended his hit streak to 4 consecutive games on Tuesday with a 3-for-4 performance, his 2nd 3-hit performance of the season... Over the last 4 games, Miller is 7-for-12 with 3 home runs... Since the start of the second half in 2025 (June 24), Miller is among the Double-A leaders in on-base percentage (1st, .457), walk rate (2nd, 18.6%) and OPS (6th, .938)... Miller’s .457 on-base percentage over that span is the highest among all catchers in Minor League Baseball.

Luis Lara #7 - Yee-hah!

Hi Mickster, welcome aboard! We are going to merge these responses, in particular the one from ARobsBrewCrew above, to a dedicated thread we maintain at the top of this forum for health-related inquiries. This brief thread will not be visible once the merge is complete.

This May 1st update was as formal a response as we've seen, So, Pena was seen just yesterday and it's no surprise there is not immediate news beyond that, one way or the other.

Ugh, Marco Dinges didn't come out to catch for the bottom of the 4th.

You'll see a series of three posts associated with a side injury for one of the early stalwarts of Wilson's staff, RHP Miqueas Mercedes, starting here.

That was a quick research project. For MiLB TV subscription archivists, go to the 01:39:30 hour/minute mark here. Immediately as he uncorks the strikeout pitch, Mercedes winces in pain and reaches towards the left side of his torso. I hesitate to call it an oblique injury with zero doubt, but it's definitely related to the side muscles.

From Sunday's Link Report: "Starting RHP Miqueas Mercedes (3 1/3 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks) exited after a strikeout and injury delay in the top of the 4th inning. Hopefully he’s okay and was simply on a pitch limit (51, with 36 strikes), given that he was throwing on 4 days’ rest." *** Diving into the video archive now.

Wilson Press Release: RHP Miqueas Mercedes has been placed on the IL, effective today, May 5. The Warbirds roster now sits at 27 active + 2 Injured List + 1 Development List

They also discussed where things stand of the left side of the infield, in the high minors and those damned city connect jerseys."

Five Top 100 prospects headline latest on Team of the Week It's a Coleman Crow sighting...

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Despite overflowing rosters and an idle day Sunday - eleven Brewers pitchers await their season debut - the Milwaukee and San Diego front offices agreed that Monday's game would be a seven-inning affair. Or perhaps the Padres simply waved the white flag after a five-run 6th for the Crew produced what would be the final score a half-inning later. Transactions: OF Jackson Chourio reinstated to MLB Brewers from minor league rehab 1B Andrew Vaughn reinstated to MLB Brewers from minor league rehab OF Blake Perkins optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Brewers RHP Quinn Priester returned to MLB Brewers’ 15-day injured list from minor league rehab OF Kay-Lan Nicasia released by AA Biloxi RHP Luke Roupe placed on ACL Brewers’ 7-day injured list retroactive to May 3 RHP Johandry Ramirez placed on ACL Brewers’ 7-day injured list retroactive to May 3 As we aim to do consistently for released players, a post within our Transaction Thread spotlighted Nicasia here. Also, please feel free to see past highlights from Nicasia's pro career when you scroll to the bottom of his linked page listed above. 19-year-old Luke Roupe was drafted in the 17th round last summer out of a North Carolina high school. Johandry Ramirez made five starts among his seven Dominican Summer League appearances in his debut 2025 season, with those starting assignments normally an indication that the organization sees promise for that role in the future. Ramirez is stateside after that one campaign. Hopefully both youngsters will be active before too long. From @Spencer Michaelis' 2025 "Day Two" Draft Recap article: Luke Roupe's repertoire is largely built around his fastball and his curveball. Those two offerings helped him pitch his way to a 2.01 ERA over 62 2/3 innings, striking out 100 along the way. The fastball gets up to 94 MPH and has good carry and is pretty high spin. The curveball spins in the 2400 RPM range, and has some good depth and sweep to it, in the low-80s. Roupe will also mix a sweeper in at times, thrown a bit harder than the curve, and has a changeup that will need development. Committed to South Carolina, Roupe will likely be looking for a pretty big bonus to sign (NOTE: bonus was $225,000). His pitchability and the starting point of his fastball and curveball combination will make him an interesting name to follow. Final: ACL Brewers 12, ACL Padres 0, seven innings Box Score and Game Log All three phases in high gear, as the Brew Crew played error-free ball for a consecutive game. Remaining atop the order, now-18-year-old Cristopher Acosta shifted from shortstop to third base here and stole his first base. The $1.1 million signing from the 2025 class underwhelmed in 50 DSL games, sporting only a .172/.349/.243 line, so his three walks in this box score, along with a base on balls Saturday, have him off to a fine OBP start. Fellow bonus baby Brailyn Antunez has the early lockdown on center field and the #2 spot in the lineup. Along with all others in Monday's lineup (everyone reached base despite the team coming to the plate only in six frames), Antunez' contributions were a single, a walk, two HBP's, two RBI. The buzz around RF Alexander Frias and his LH power bat is real, and he homered for a second straight game, also doubled, walked and stole a base. The other two position players to appear in both games thus far were CJ Hughes, who shifted to shortstop from second base, as the 11th round pick from a California high school clubbed his first professional home run, and Rylan Mills, catcher to first base, singled, walked. May I comment how pleased I am to be a part of the infatuated Brewers farmhand-follower community? Each day, we initiate an "as it happens" thread on our Minor League Forum, and now, given Statcast availability in all the complex league ballparks, our diehards are more than eager to share insights from these games. You are strongly encouraged to visit the 14-post thread here, hardly a difficult chore, and you'll pick up multiple insights beyond what I could add here. You'll learn about RHP's Caleb Nieman and Ma'Kale Holden, who covered all seven innings wonderfully. We await the pro debut of Taiwanese infielder Yu-Lin Liao. Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious, but Baseball Reference isn't properly displaying 2026 stats yet, as Alexander Frias' page shows as an example. Scrolling down reveals splits and such, but we'll be relying on MiLB Player Pages for much of our content for the time being. It's back to a full slate of five games on Tuesday, including a Timber Rattler matinee. We have already kicked off our Tuesday daily thread that includes the tricky to find box score location of the next Arizona game, hosting the Dodgers tykes in Maryvale. Enjoy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!

Pregame Audio Sunday 5/3 RHP Cameron Wagoner *** Cameron fills us in -- From Saturday morning's Link Report: "Game Two was rather non-descript outside of an exciting return to action for 24-year-old (25 in June) RHP Cameron Wagoner, the 2022 11th round pick out of Eastern Michigan who made 24 appearances for the Timber Rattlers (22 starts) in 2023 but had been sidelined since. No formal injury had been noted in the two years since outside of elbow issues, so make your own conclusions there. Perhaps an upcoming pre-game interview will help shed light. Welcome back and with flair, Cameron! Rare does twelve pitches make for such attention."
