Maryvale has a 34-man roster and is coming off a day off and the Arizona League is scheduling additional seven-inning games. Can't blame the heat yet, 93 degrees at first pitch is chilly!

What timing! Though position player on the mound for the last one...

Tonight's entry in the Transaction Thread did not help this game's cause.

Wisconsin 9th inning - devastating. Definition of player development over winning - bring in RH reliever Jose Nova and his now-27.00 ERA to just get the very last out of the game with the bases loaded and a three-run lead. It did not end well.

Speaking of an inning ending on a line out, LHP Mark Menfredi, Sr. made things much too interesting, as the Biloxi bullpen has done as of late, but the Shuckers finally snapped their seven-game losing streak behind starter Manuel Rodriguez, two homers by Eduardo Garcia, and a sweet game for Jesus Made (three singles and a walk).

Wilson, down 3-2 in the top of the 7th, loaded the bases with two outs. Handelfry Encarnacion lined out to left to end the inning, a tough break because three Fayetteville outs later, Mother Nature put an end to things early.

Wisconsin Timber Rattlers placed RHP Michael Fowler on the 7-day injured list. In his most recent game on Sunday 5/3, Fowler threw 52 pitches in relief. There was no evidence of injury on his final pitch before being pulled.

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.
