On the IL (last pitched June 28th), we wish him well. Wilson RHP Hayden Robinson, as was noted in Saturday's Link Report, turns 21.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The Timber Rattlers game was nearly a carbon copy from Friday's contest, which in the end, was unfortunate. Fantastic mound efforts abounded where Mother Nature allowed play. Reminder: Watch Jesús Made (SS) and Luis Pena (3B) in the starting lineup for the Futures Game at 11:00 AM Central on NBC. Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers recalled LHP Robert Gasser from Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers recalled RHP Garrett Stallings from Nashville Sounds. RHP Diustin Mayorquin assigned to Wilson Warbirds from ACL Brewers. ACL Brewers released C Isais Chavez. Stallings was the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader in Pittsburgh and will formally be returned to Nashville in the coming days (post All-Star break). Mayorquin, a Nicaraguan native, won't turn 19 until October, and as my fellow Link Reporter "Ro" pointed out, immediately becomes the youngest pitcher in the 12-team Carolina League. Chavez had a fine rookie season in the Dominican League in 2025 as a young 17-year-old (.783 OPS). He was placed on the restricted list this past March, was activated from that list earlier this week, and is now no longer in the organization.

Not much to see, but the final pitch for Rob Z., mound discussion, and pull from the game can be found at the 03:12:00 hour/minute mark of the game archive for MiLB.TV subscribers. These time stamps on archived games lead you to believe the games are extra-lengthy, but there is a lot of pre-game dead air within for each. The Knights' center fielder remained in the game after stumbling here - Luke Adams also walked in this game, OBP is .419. This was Adams on Adams (Mason) crime. Another one of those box scores where everyone in the lineup reached base, we've had a bunch of those across the Brewers affiliate world as of late. CF Blake Perkins singled and walked three times, LF Tyler Black singled, walked, and had a sacrifice fly. It's sweet to see Darrien Miller run with this AAA opportunity. With Jeferson Quero limited to DH duty as of late (no formal details provided) and Ramon Rodriguez on the IL since June 26th, Miller and Andrick Nava share current backstop duties. RHP Will Childers effort to strand Rob Z's two baserunners was big. Eventful evening for Luis Matos in right field: E: Matos (2, fielding). Outfield assists: Matos 2 (Weber at 1st base, Connor at home). Thomas Pannone full spin move for a pickoff at second base Black's sacrifice fly was deep to center Insurance run in the 8th courtesy of Eduardo Garcia Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Manager Mike Guerrero the latest Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 3, Knoxville (Cubs) 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Shuckers, game details: Owens Stars in Shuckers Saturday Night Win - Texas-born righty ties career high with 6.0 innings in 1st Double-A start, Adamczewski records multi-hit night Such a sweet swing - Spencer pointed out that the Adamczewski call from the Knoxville broadcast wasn't as nice. Video of the Fischer base hit for a 3-1 lead here: Mound work, including Yorman Galindez over the final three innings, was very impressive. Both Galindez and Owens are 23 years old. Jesús Made idle here (Futures Game, as noted above - same for Luis Pena in the Wisconsin box below). Shuckers did strike out 13 times, only Mike Boeve evaded the K list, though he went 0-for-4. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Beloit (Marlins) 9, Wisconsin 7 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Beloit Holds on to Top Timber Rattlers - Ninth-inning rally falls short for second night in a row As fantastic as it is to immediately sit back and watch the video below, strongly suggest you read the game summary first to set up the action. The write-up includes Daniel Dickinson stats of note, and we've been tracking that for a couple of weeks now. I appreciated Chris following up Friday night's highlight with this research, I remembered this also (well, especially after being shown this!) Dickinson reached base all five times up with three stolen bases, what a heater he's on. Luiyin Alastre did his part in Luis Pena's absence, on base four times. Bitonti's blast worth another look, plus his full night included a walk, HBP and sacrifice fly. All that offense couldn't overcome a Josh Knoth stumble - what is it about the one-off poor outings immediately after winning Pitcher of the Month Awards this year? The Warbirds just posted archived interviews from earlier this month. Warbirds, Woodpeckers Suspended After Three Batters - Downpour Ends Game Early Box Score and Game Log (Thus Far) What is up with recent first inning game starts but almost immediate delays and subsequent postponements? RHP Hayden Robinson's routine wasted unless he'd surprisingly ramp back up for Sunday. Robinson, who turns 21 on Sunday, was among those discussed by Manager Eddy Morgan at the interview link above. The teams will only complete this game on Sunday. The regularly scheduled Sunday game is canceled and will not be made up. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 1, DSL LAD Mega (Dodgers) 0 Box Score and Game Log Like an oasis in a desert, this sparkling DSL pitchers' duel popped up out of nowhere but is a welcome sight. Allow your box score review to see that five pitchers combined on a four-hitter (14 K's, 4 BB's). The heaviest lifting over the first six innings came from two 17-year-olds, each making their 6th pro appearance. You're just a box score click on each pitcher's name away from learning a bit more. Blue only managed three hits, and the lone run scored on a fielder's choice in the 7th. Nothing sexy, but a triumph for pitching and clean defense on this day. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 4, DSL Reds 3 Box Score and Game Log Five teenagers combined to allow only two earned runs (7 K's, 4 BB's). None shined brighter than 2nd-year RHP Raymond Sarmiento who tossed five innings of walk-free baseball, fanning four with the only run allowed unearned. Gold rode six stolen bases without being caught and never looked back after shortstop Ricki Moneys' two-run HR oppo taco to right in the 5th, his 4th HR to lift his line to .303/.425/.541 (.966 OPS) with equal walk and K percentages of 16.4% (that's excellent for both figures!). All four full-season affiliates will be anxious to begin their breaks after today's action (play resumes on Friday). Have a great summer Sunday, everyone!

Pregame Audio Friday 7/3 - Special Advisor, Player Development Al LeBeouf Pregame Audio Tuesday 7/7 - Manager Eddy Morgan

Have a confession to make. With all due respect to the hard-working draftniks out there, with one exception (pushing for Prince Fielder to be drafted in 2002, he was not expected to be picked 7th overall, so thank me Brewer fans), I just can't fathom the energy expended on draft prep as a fan. Do I want to know every detail about each one of the Brewers' picks? Of course. But after the fact! Because there's 30+ first rounders who the Brewers didn't pick. I get all the machinations that go into the day, so knock yourselves out, those who enjoy. Meanwhile, I'll review the post-draft board and every morsel then written and recorded about the Crew's selections.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic All kinds of off-the-beaten-path facts within, including a fun Luke Adams / Corey Hart eye-opener. The MLB Draft is today? Well, don't forget to keep up with the prospects already here. Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers sent LHP Rob Zastryzny on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers optioned LHP Drew Rom to Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers designated RHP Easton McGee for assignment. Wilson Warbirds released RHP Melvin Hernandez. DSL Brewers Blue activated RHP Brailin Aguirrez from the 7-day injured list. ACL Brewers activated C Isais Chavez from the restricted list. Zastryzny did not pitch for Nashville Friday, Rom had not reported back from Milwaukee, and McGee was in DFA limbo, so beleaguered Nashville Manager Rick Sweet and his coaching staff trusted a position player (Ethan Murray) to close out a game with an 11-5 lead. It worked out, but barely, with the potential game-losing run at the plate as the game concluded. The Melvin Hernandez saga has ended (or has it, we imagine some sort of news could reveal itself down the road), but if you're not familiar with his situation, follow the thread trail here. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 11, Charlotte (White Sox) 9 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 Pepper Truist Field Outfield Seats with Barrage of Home Runs - Nashville Sets Season-High with Five Home Runs My comments here will be minimal as you'll glean so much including three video clips from that Sounds write-up. Three missed games and counting on Jett Williams watch. Are we sure he's not getting a bit of taxi squad time with the big-league club? Many of you were treated to this game during the Brewers' rain delay in Pittsburgh, which became the Brewers' postponement. Tyler Black yanked a home run to begin the scoring Eddys Leonard's home run tied things at 2-2 By the way, what is Leonard thinking as Greg Jones is the emergency INF/OF callup over him (Leonard has yet to make his MLB debut). I understand that the Brewers' see the Jones 40-man roster spot as disposable, since Jones will be DFA'd again once David Hamilton is healthy. Leonard is also out of options, so the front office would rather not risk losing Leonard after a very brief MLB stint. Still, Eddys must be shaking his head. Charlotte's Jacob Gonzalez laced this double off rehabbing Coleman Crow and then was pulled from the game (hug watch!) because he was traded to the Pirates and will be in the lineup vs. the Brewers on Saturday. Everything in baseball has a connection. Crow wasn't particularly sharp, this pitch was as hanger-ish as it gets This was Tyler Black's 3rd career game in right field, and this pitch from "reliever Ethan Murray" was directed Black's way, would have been a tough play, but perhaps others end the game a bit earlier on this one. Will wrap up by saying no one trots around the bases in a more upright position than Luke Adams, as the 22-year-old is building impressive trade value (and internal value to the Brewers also, of course). Fun comparison fact - I've seen Adams' local newspaper reports refer to him as "Jon Adams" as Jon is his given first name - Jon Luke Adams. There was another tall Brewers slugger who also has Jon as his given name but didn't go by that - Jon Corey Hart. The things you learn within a Link Report!

Five Shuckers drew walks, among them Andrew Fischer, who was also hit by a pitch. Normally that would mean enough basepath activity to produce more than three runs but: Team RISP: 1-for-12. Team LOB: 7. Down one run in the 7th, this play encapsulates Biloxi's night: More oddness from this game, watch as the Shuckers took a brief 3-2 lead in the 5th - and to explain, the ball did hit the ground after first striking the pitcher. RHP Bishop Letson's outing was kind of a "shrug, OK" instance. One of the four runs allowed was unearned as Fischer committed his 4th error in 15 games with Biloxi (he had eight errors in a more sizable 49 games with Wisconsin). Nick Merkel stranded one of two runners he inherited from Letson. When given the opportunity, Shuckers baserunners were moving. With two thefts, Fischer is now 9-for-16 on the season, moving off the 50% mark in that regard. Dylan O'Rae's success gives him a 39-for-47 mark, while Jesús Made's failure places him at 26-for-34 in 2026. Do you need a bit of anguish with your Corn Flakes this morning? As part of your game log perusal, check out the Biloxi 7th inning.

Outfield assists: Payne (Jenkins-Cowart at home). Every Rattler reached base, four with multi-hit games, led by Payne and Daniel Dickinson's three-hit efforts. Braylon was alos credited with a sacrifice bunt. Jayden Dubanewicz' final line was not pretty, no doubt, but he worked through six innings on 88 pitches. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 11, Fayetteville (Astros) 10 Box Score and Game Log Warbirds Mount Remarkable Comeback to Beat Fayetteville - Anderson Crushes Two Homers, Including Walk-Off Have I had all eleven Wilson walkoff's during my Link Report schedule? Seems like it, so I'm taking credit. Jose's first of the night: The more impactful blast: In between the blasts: Juan Martinez lined an RBI single The second baseman couldn't handle this hard-hit Alexander Frias grounder Brady Ebel is walking in 20.3% of his plate appearances - coach's son, to be sure. Add in eight HBP's and the "free pass rate" is 22.5%. Hey, I just invented a stat! Catcher Rylan Mills is enjoying the month of July. In six games - .474/.565/.684 (1.249 OPS). This was the 5th consecutive strong effort by RHP Jarrette Bonet, four innings of middle relief in this one, no earned runs, keeping it close for the comeback. Final: ACL Athletics 6, ACL Brewers 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Just two lonely hits for the Maryvale Crew here, one a Brailyn Antunez RBI double, his 11th on the season (23 of 54 hits for extra bases, slugging .510). That double avoided the shutout in the final frame. Third baseman Moises Polanco's 4th inning single was the only other A-Crew knock, though the club drew seven walks and one HBP, which invariably leads us to this again: Team RISP: 1-for-8. Team LOB: 8. Your box score review will tell you that it wasn't an exhilarating night on the mound for the boys, either. Final: DSL CLE Mendoza (Guardians) 8, DSL Brewers Blue 6 Box Score and Game Log Blue rode a five-run 6th to a 6-2 lead heading to the bottom of the 8th. 17-year-old RHP Steven Duran had entered in the 6th and tossed two scoreless innings. His next frame would not be scoreless. Six runs came across for the Guardians in the fateful inning, but Duran was oh-so-close to escaping with only two runs scoring and two outs. Your game log review will show what followed - walk, SB, walk, a killer triple and an insurance run single. Another 17-year-old, RHP Daniel Munoz, allowed only one run in his four innings of relief. Munoz followed opener Brailin Aguirrez, making his season debut, as our Transaction note here to kick things off alluded to. $1.5 million bonus baby José Rodríguez was touted for "elite" defense upon signing in January. That may end up being true, but his error in this one was his 13th in 28 games (ten errors in 18 games at shortstop). Final: DSL Brewers Gold 4, DSL CLE Goryl (Guardians) 2 Box Score and Game Log Could it be that the red-hot Gold squad (now 14-13) could wind up ahead of the lately struggling Blue Crew (15-13) when all is said and done? Unthinkable a couple of weeks ago... Three Brewers pitchers combined to walk nine and plunk one while fanning only two, so this wasn't a masterpiece for the pitching coaches to bask in, but only one earned run crossed the plate. 17-year-old infielder Osiris Ramirez (second base here), a favorite of many of you diehards, tripled, singled, and walked (.980 OPS thru 24 games). The triple drove in two for a 2-1 lead in the 6th that would not be relinquished. Maryvale takes Saturday off, everyone else is in action, trying not to look over their shoulders at the players the Brewers will select on Day One of the MLB Draft today.
