  1. Via Jeff Hem on the broadcast, Luke Adams' injury is a right hand injury (familiar theme), however, he's expected back within a week, perhaps this weekend.
  2. Jacob Waguespack's directly over-the-top deliveries are absolutely mesmerizing.
  3. Look for the dark blue Brewers jerseys with the yellow numbering and you'll find several Instagram videos out of Maryvale this past weekend from the "troycollinsbaseballlife" feed.
  4. These posts originally appeared in late January. This week, the Brewers announced the signing of the 5'10", 170 LB lefty-swinging Venezuelan, 17 years old (18 in November). Brewers listed him as an outfielder.
  5. Monday 4/20: Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with Dom Cotroneo - "The Brewers dropping their final game to Miami but took the series. You had cake, and frosting, but not sprinkles. Miz gave up some runs but still looked great. Cause for concern? Dom breaks down the Miz as well as Gary Sanchez, the backup catcher who had some struggles. Also, the NL Central is for real – the Brewers playing okay but at the bottom of this stacked division." Via Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee's "The Huddle": Brewers reporter Hunter Baumgardt (go to the 25:30 minute mark) Via David Gasper's "Brewers Daily" YouTube page: "Brewers Can't Sweep, But Take Series vs. MIA" Via WTMJ's Afternoon News (download link): "Lane Grindle dives into the fan frenzy around the team’s new Wisconsin‑themed jerseys, but the real showstopper is Jacob Misiorowski’s Pokémon glove — a bold, colorful nod to the game’s most iconic creatures." Via the "Wisconsin Sports Daily Show" with Steve "Sparky" Fifer: "Brewers.TV Analyst Tim Dillard breaks down the Brewers series win over the Miami Marlins.

  10. Sunday 4/19: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast (recorded Sunday AM) - "On this week's show the guys discussed the 4-game win streak before it came to an end on Sunday, what the team will need to do to keep their heads above water while the offense is banged up and where things stand with the bullpen at the moment." Postgame shows for the 5-3 loss to the Marlins: Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe look back on a productive 4-2 week for the Brewers, where their brand of baseball made a comeback, backed by superb starting-pitching performances. Brandon Sproat has his first excellent outing, Coleman Crow has a dazzling debut, Jacob Misiorowski continued to look good in losses and Chad Patrick and Brandon Woodruff worked deep into games. The offense, however remains hamstrung by injury depletion. Why Greg Jones over Luis Lara? What's next for Trevor Megill now that he's out as closer? When will the Brewers get some heavy hitters back? In Three Up Three Down (28:00), the guys discuss how a torrential downpour might have helped the Brewers win a game indoors, Aaron Ashby's win total and Brandon Lockridge's defensive theatrics. In Remembrew When (48:00), JR looks back at the last time the Brewers got down bunts from three straight batters (it's a random one), and Todd's Take of the Week (52:30) looks at two big-time aces on the docket and shouts out one thing both hosts love: Buddy's Pizza in Detroit. Then, JR visits with former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Tom Haudricourt (56:00) to discuss the recently departed former Brewers managers Phil Garner and Davey Lopes. Haudricourt had some great stories about the longtime manager known as Scrap Iron -- including Garner making good (hilariously) on a lost bet to Haudricourt." VIDEO via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory": "Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com joins the show to go over some big-picture questions about the Brewers after 20 games."

  11. RHP Enniel Cortez to the 7-day injured list for Wilson. I discussed his status in this post Friday.
  12. Via SoxProspects.com: Altoona Curve (PIT) 2, Portland Sea Dogs 0 AA righty John Holobetz was the tough loser in the shutout loss as the right-hander allowed a single hit - a home run in the fifth inning - and walked one batter while striking out a career-high 11 across seven innings of work. Holobetz tossed 54 of his 74 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 1.13 over his first 16 frames this season. Player pages for the three players netted by Boston for Quinn Priester: Holobetz Yophery Rodriguez 21-year-old RHP Marcus Phillips, drafted out of Tennessee

  15. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Transactions: RHP Carlos Rodriguez recalled by MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville RHP Coleman Crow optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Brewers RHP Reiss Knehr assigned to Nashville Sounds from ACL Brewers The Knehr move was a paper transaction activating him after he had recently signed as a minor league free agent. Notes on Knehr were posted within our transaction thread Saturday. We received news of an early Sunday AM move: OF Damon Keith activated from AA Biloxi’s 7-day injured list I, for one, am super-pleasantly surprised, detailed here. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 2, Worcester (Red Sox) 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: Strong Pitching Keeps Sounds' Win Streak Rolling Considering it was such a low scoring affair, the linked write-up justly takes you through the contest on a half-inning by half-inning basis. The game featured 25 strikeouts, so the theme was established via the bobblehead giveaway. Nice touch on the photo with the matching skylines. We had been waiting for this shot, and as per Williams' history, it was pulled: Voice of the Sounds Jeff Hem is so good at his craft, as this call below exemplifies. Pay attention, MLB clubs! In case you were wondering how to pronounce the name of the new guy mentioned in the Transaction section above: More video: Zamora-to-Pratt-to-Wilken to aid McGee's cause Murray sacrifice fly It will be fascinating to see how Boston's Kristian Campbell contract extension (take a peek) ages in comparison to Cooper Pratt's. Cautionary tale so far. It's only been five games split between second and third base, but old friend Anthony Seigler is off to a slow start at the plate after his brief season-opening injury list stint. Jett Williams got a partial rest day as the designated hitter here. Ramon Rodriguez got the nod behind the plate after sitting out Friday's two games, and fellow backstops Jeferson Quero and Andrick Nava comprised two-thirds of Manager Rick Sweet's bench, along with true backup-everything Jheremy Vargas. Of course, look for both Quero and Rodriguez to shuttle into the DH spot often. Rest assured RH relievers Blake Holub and Will Childers have the attention of Matt Arnold and team. It's a long season, and regardless of 40-man roster constraints, future needs may dictate opportunities for either or both of that duo. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 10, Columbus (Braves) 1 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Added Saturday were Manager Mike Guerrero (from Friday) and 1B/OF Tayden Hall Via the Shuckers, game details: Shuckers All-Around Effort Ends Three-Game Slide in Columbus - Shuckers Score 10, Pitching Staff Surrenders Two Hits in 10-1 Victory One would imagine there are a lot of positives out of this one, and that game summary review you just read must have raised your eyebrows a few times, as in, my oh my, things are going well for certain players, aren't they (despite a middling - by definition - 7-7 record for the team). In order to hear the Shuckers' call on the O'Rae home run, as well as to view Eduardo Garcia's blast, enjoy this trifecta post from the team. More video? Sure! Burke's RBI line drive single Garcia yanks an RBI double Superman dive for Nicasia Darrien Miller RBI single down the line Wild pitch scores the final Biloxi run Ending the game in 6-4-3 fashion Through three starts and 15 innings, RHP Jaron DeBerry has a WHIP of just 1.13 despite issuing 14 free passes (11 walks, three HBP's - mix in two wild pitches and two balks). It's been an adventure for the 2024 3rd rounder, yet he's only allowed six hits, two of those doubles. The bullpen trio of Edwin Jimenez - Patricio Aquino - Sam Garcia performed just as any manager would hope with a big lead. Eduardo Garcia is a super-interesting dude. Somehow still just 23 years old (24 on July 10th), he was eligible for minor league free agency before he and his agent were convinced to return for 2026. In 34 games vs. Dominican Winter League competition an average of nearly seven years older than himself, he posted a .324/.395/.581(!) line. Upon completing rehab from a hand injury suffered in the D.R., Garcia has posted even stronger numbers in the still small seven-game sample. With defensive chops at SS/3B/CF/LF, even with a seemingly painful roster crunch looming this offseason, if Garcia maintains anything near this pace, he'd be a prime candidate for a 40-man roster spot to retain his rights again. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 8, Peoria (Cardinals) 7 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Wisconsin Rallies for Win in Ninth Inning - Adamczewski homers twice, drives in five runs, & scores winning run to cap a two-run ninth inning OK, so first of all, T-Rat coverage overall is supremely impressive, in particular for home contests. Even more so than in past years, the club is incorporating the social media posts into the game summaries (hey, that's a "Link Report" tradition!), and it goes without saying that you should take in both of the full media sites below, especially given the very entertaining nature of this game. The full YouTube package allows me to avoid linking to individual plays, and the Postgame Podcast is always a fine listen, this one concise at 17 minutes. All those "Frosty K" mentions in the highlight package were never so literal, check out the outfits of those hardy fans! Andrew Fischer lifted his OBP to .385 by reaching in all five trips (double, two singles, two walks). One of Josh Adamczewski's 65 defensive innings in 2026 came at second base, otherwise all have been in left field. It was a wise move by the organization to recognize that the combination of infield depth in the system and Adamczewski's offensive potential would support a move to left field, which at this time certainly seems permanent. The young man turns 21 on May 10th. You could take the Jaron DeBerry narrative from above and apply it to Bryce Meccage. The 20-year-old right-hander has only allowed five hits (one double) in 10.1 innings over three starts. There's been 12 walks and two wild pitches thus far, though his curve ball certainly looked lethal in the highlight package. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Hill City (Guardians) 3, Wilson 1 Box Score and Game Log Howlers Shutdown Warbirds Offense in Victory - Warbirds Strand 11 In Loss Well, here's your lone Wilson "highlight", and it's in quotes because it was unearned. It's not the first time this season the Warbirds' lone tally was of that variety. Here's an exercise for you this morning, it'll only take a few moments, promise. Here's the link for team batting statistics for the Carolina League, for the moment the category highlighted you'll see is bases on balls, where Wilson leads the league and it's not that close, with 95 through 14 games, nearly seven per game. OK, now, click on every single other category in the sortable database. The Warbirds are either last or next-to-last and hide the children's eyes before you click on that SLG column, yikes. Nearly 2,800 on hand for this game, and the locals may start to notice a pattern before too long. RF Handelfry Encarnacion walked thrice and was plunked, raising his OBP to .293. The team's power bat, CF Jose Anderson, finished 0-for-5 with four K's, collecting Golden Sombrero #2. Six of Anderson's ten base hits have gone for extra bases, and he's driven in 15 in just 52 at-bats. However, Anderson is striking out in exactly half of his plate appearances in the early going. That number was 28.5% in 2025, so there's hope for recovery in that regard. Warbirds pitchers are middle-of-the-pack in issuing walks thus far, but walked seven here, and RHP Carlos Carra's three free passes led directly to his two runs allowed. One year ago on this date, the Carolina Mudcats were 11-2, having outscored opponents 101-58. Ah, those were heady times, with the fruits being realized in Wisconsin now. Early afternoon action across the board Sunday, with a collection of four strong arms on tap as the scoreboard link below will show. Have a great Sunday, all!

  17. Per a Biloxi press release, OF Damon Keith has been reinstated from the 7-Day Injured List. The active roster now stands at 28 players. It was barely a minimum-length stay, and to be honest, I'm shocked and impressed. From last week: "Damon Keith reached on an infield single to third base leading off the 5th, 02:27:05 hour/minute mark for subscribers. There was absolutely no doubt about this injury, as Keith grabbed at his right hamstring as he crossed first base. Clearly in pain, the red-hot Keith (1.343 OPS in five games) hobbled back into the dugout."
