Transactions: Nashville Sounds sent LF Akil Baddoo on rehab assignment to ACL Brewers. SS Eric Brown Jr. assigned to Nashville Sounds from Biloxi Shuckers. Nashville Sounds placed SS Jett Williams on the 7-day injured list. Milwaukee Brewers sent LHP DL Hall on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds. Nashville Sounds release RHP Peter Strzelecki Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Sugar Land (Astros) 6, Nashville 5 Box Score & 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 Walked Off in Extras for Second Straight Night to Space Cowboys - Miller and Wilken each record a homer; Adams records his 11th multi-hit game this season NOTE: The linked game summary includes video looks at the Miller and Wilen blasts and Ethan Murray's 10th inning triple. For the second night in a row the Sounds were defeated in extra innings, with the Space Cowboys literally walking off for the win tonight. Entering the tenth inning tied at two, the Sounds scored two runs quickly, with Ethan Murray hitting a triple to score the runner from second and then scoring on a sac-fly. Unfortunately, Kaleb Bowman’s save opportunity did not go to plan, Bowman gave up a couple of hits, intentionally walked the bases loaded and then walked the next two batters with a few truly uncompetitive pitches to score the tying and winning runs. David Hamilton went 0-4 making the start at third base as part of his rehab assignment in Triple-A. Third base Joey is making moves in Milwaukee. Catcher Darrien Miller continued his solid season with his second Triple-A home run and tenth on the season. Miller went 1-3 with a walk and has a combined .951 OPS on the season, .975 in 12 games with Nashville. Brock Wilken also hit his tenth home run of the season on a 1-4 night. Luke Adams had two hits and a walk. Tyler Black’s on-base streak ended. Rehabbing DL Hall pitched 1.2 innings, giving up a run on a hit and a walk, while striking out three. Recently promoted flame thrower Cameron Wagoner relieved Hall and gave up a hard single, scoring the run on Hall’s tab. Wagoner got the final out and pitched the next inning with a walk, double play and a strikeout, topping out at 98.5 MPH. Biloxi pre-game media notes Chattanooga (Reds) 8, Shuckers 4 Game Log & Box Score Ragsdale Reignites Streak, Shuckers Fall to Lookouts - Brewers No. 22 prospect records multi-hit performance, has reached in 15 of first 16 Double-A games The Lookouts responded to yesterdays near no-hit shutout with twelve hits including back-to-back-to-back home runs against starter Travis Smith in the third inning. Josiah Ragsdale hit his 4th Double-A home run and eleventh total on the season. Ragsdale finished 2-4 with his 29th steal of the season, fifth with Biloxi. Baseball America is aware: Josh Adamczewski had another extra-base hit with a line drive double. Andrew Fischer went 0-4 with three strikeouts, Adamczewski and Ragsdale each struck out twice in the game. Jesus Made went 2-4, knocking in Dylan O’Rae with a single in the first inning, O’Rae led the game off with his fourth triple of the year. Made stole his 28th base of the season. Wisconsin pre-game media notes South Bend (Cubs) 6, Wisconsin 3 Box Score & Game Log South Bend Pulls Away from Wisconsin NOTE: The linked game summary includes four video highlights despite the final result. The Timber Rattlers lost their fifth game in a row; it wasn’t particularly pretty. The pitching staff walked eight Cubs, two T-Rats runners were picked off, another two were thrown out at home and Daniel Guilarte had two errors at short. Following his home run yesterday, Luis Castillo had a third of Wisconsin’s hits in the game going 2-4. Braylon Payne stung a ball off the wall in left for an RBI double and scored from second on a line drive single by Daniel Dickenson. Garrett Hodges pitched two innings in relief, giving up just a single and striking out two. Charleston (Rays) 3, Wilson 2 Box Score & Game Log Charleston Rallies in Ninth to Down Wilson - Mills Home Run Ties Game in Ninth Making his third start for Wilson, 18-year-old Dustin Mayorquin completed five innings surrendering only two hits, two walks and one earned run, striking out two. Catcher Rylan Mills tied the game in the top of the ninth with his 4th home run of the season, an oppo taco moonshot over the foul pole in right field. Tyler Renz earned the loss with a walk, balk, wild pitch and infield hit to allow the winning run and end the game. It would almost feel like tough luck, but the walk was one of five for Renz after coming on in the sixth inning. Alexander Frias went 2-4 as the DH, legging out a double on a run-scoring hit to short left field. Brady Ebel went 1-4, and Handelfry Encarnacion 0-4 with three strikeouts. ACL Brewers 10, ACL White Sox 7 Box Score & Game Log Continuing his rehab, Frank Cairone made his fourth start of the season, pitching 1.2 innings. Cairone struck out the leadoff batter, then a flyout, a walk and a hit batter followed by another strikeout. Cairone committed a fielding error allowing the first batter in the second inning to reach, then struck out the next batter, while allowing a stolen base and a wild pitch moving the runner to third. A walk and another strikeout followed and then Cairone hit the next two batters forcing in a run. Cairone was removed from the game, and the next two batters were a walk and another HBP, scoring two more runs. So Cairone finished with 4 strikeouts, 2 walks, 3 R, 0 ER with an error and 3 HBP! Here’s hoping Cairone moves up to Wilson when the ACL season ends and gets more opportunities to keep working his way back. First baseman Jonathan Rangel went 3-4 with two doubles, raising his OPS to .893. Rehabbing Akil Baddoo led off and went 0-2 with two walks and a run scored. Brailyn Antunez was 0-3 with two walks and two RBI, now sporting an .892 OPS. The Maryvale club ends its season in Peoria vs. the Mariners this afternoon. While the season completes, obviously the complex will remain active in other ways. The DSL teams return to action this morning, and the full-season affiliates look to get back on track.

Bauers is a free agent after the season…

Image courtesy of © Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images With the second half of the season kicking off, here's an updated crack at next year’s Opening Day roster. December’s aggressive projection may have gotten a little ahead of itself. Many of the prospects added to that version have performed well, but most are still in Double-A and may not be ready for the Opening Day roster. The new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) may also decrease the number of years that teams have control over players and incentivise the Brewers to delay bringing up some of their top prospects. We know there's uncertainty; that's why this is fun. Catchers (2) William Contreras Jeferson Quero William Contreras represented the Brewers in the All-Star Game and remains one of the top catchers in baseball. The Brewers kept Willy Adames all the way to free agency, and barring a major change in the way the new CBA handles compensation for teams losing top free agents, Contreras seems likely to remain in Milwaukee next season. Quero has turned things around in Triple-A after a slow start to the season, and he should be ready to share time with Contreras next season. V 2.0 changes: None Infielders (6) Andrew Vaughn (1B) Brice Turang (2B) David Hamilton (3B) Cooper Pratt (SS) Joey Ortiz (INF) Andrew Fischer (1B/3B) Brice Turang has fulfilled the breakout that he foreshadowed last August, and is the best all-around second baseman in baseball, despite MLB somehow excluding him from the All-Star team. Other than Turang, the infield is almost a complete rewrite from the December projection. The Brewers have multiple options at every position, possibly pointing to trades at this year’s deadline or over the winter The Brewers faith in Cooper Pratt was much greater than anticipated, and he looks set to hold down shortstop through this season and into next. Hamilton quickly became a Pat Murphy favorite, and his bat has been doing more damage of late. He’s still a bit of a wild card defensively, and will have to get back on the field in good shape after being shelved with a leg injury, but he has a strong toehold. Joey Ortiz remains the best defensive infielder on the team and the backup shortstop. Andrew Fischer has shown a level of power the Brewers haven’t had since Prince Fielder. This projection anticipates Fischer joining the Brewers in September, contributing in the postseason and then earning a spot on the 2027 team, replacing Jake Bauers (who will be a free agent after this season). Jesus Made will probably be ready sometime during 2027, but will he displace Pratt at shortstop or take over third base? Blake Burke or Luke Adams could also have a case to win the first base job, but unless Andrew Vaughn is traded, they will both wait in Triple-A for an opportunity. V 2.0 Changes: Vaughn, Pratt and Hamilton in; Made, Burke and Caleb Durbin out Outfield (5) Jackson Chourio (LF) Garrett Mitchell (CF) Sal Frelick (RF) Luis Lara (OF) Christian Yelich (DH) Garrett Mitchell’s breakout was not baked into the first version of this projection. His health and production have both been welcome surprises. It seemed reasonable to doubt that Mitchell would put a season like this together, since despite having accrued more than three years of service time prior to this season, he's likely to have more plate appearances this year than in the rest of his career combined. Mitchell’s defense has taken a step back this year, and his BABIP is unsustainable, but he is locked into this lineup and helping win games. Chourio was greatly missed after going down just before the season started. Since his return, he has played like an All-Star and the outfield anchor the Brewers envisioned when signing him to a record-breaking extension. Luis Lara was projected to make this roster, and his contract extension and subsequent call-up seem to lock that in. If either Mitchell or Frelick are traded between now and the start of 2027, Lara is already on the roster to fill that role. As it stands, the Brewers have outstanding outfield depth and flexibility. V 2.0 Changes: Mitchell in; Blake Perkins out Starting Pitchers (5) Jacob Misiorowski Kyle Harrison Brandon Sproat Logan Henderson Robert Gasser The Miz has been the best pitcher in baseball this year and is primed to lead the Brewers rotation for the foreseeable future. Harrison and Sproat arrived in trades this year and appear locked into rotation roles. Harrison has been excellent, while Sproat has flashed at times and (importantly) remained available. Henderson continues to be excellent when he is available to pitch and should have a spot in next season’s rotation. The fifth spot feels like a battle between Gasser, Shane Drohan and Chad Patrick. All are solid pitchers, worthy of a rotation spot. Patrick has proved he can excel from the bullpen in both high-leverage and volume roles, while Drohan’s arsenal should set him up to do the same. V 2.0 Changes: Harrison and Sproat in; Quinn Priester and Patrick out Bullpen (8) Trevor Megill Abner Uribe Aaron Ashby Chad Patrick Shane Drohan Craig Yoho DL Hall Colton Gordon The last projection assumed Trevor Megill would be traded either this past winter or in the coming one. However, with the Brewers primed to be in contention for the World Series both this season and next, keeping Megill (along with stars Contreras and Turang) could make more sense than trading him. Ashby appears tired right now, but he is an elite reliever. Patrick and Drohan would be starters for most teams. Here, they provide the Brewers with valuable innings. Yoho has dominated the minors and needs to prove he can consistently throw strikes in the majors, he’s been much better during his most recent call-up. When Hall is healthy and pitching to his ability, he will have a place in this bullpen. Here’s betting the Brewers will turn the newly acquired Gordon into a contributor. The Brewers will have a host of pitchers available in Triple-A for depth, including: Coleman Crow, Grant Anderson, Jared Koenig, Brian Fitzpatrick, Cameron Wagoner and Brett Wichrowski. Eventually, Ángel Zerpa and Priester will rejoin the team, as well. V 2.0 Changes: Patrick, Drohan, Megill and Gordon in; Koenig, Wichrowski, Crow and Myers out View full article

Transaction: Wilson DH/LF Jadyn Fielder traded to Houston for 40-man roster members RHP Lance McCullers, Jr. and LHP Colton Gordon. ACL Rangers 8, ACL Brewers 7, seven innings as scheduled Box Score & Game Log The Brewers took a 7-4 lead with a productive five-run top of the fifth. The first three batters of the inning walked followed by Brailyn Antunez knocking in two with a single. The rest of the inning was a blur for the Rangers' pitchers and catcher, as the Brewers stole four bases, Antunez scored on a wild pitch and Moises Polanco scored on an Engel Paulino hit by pitch. The Rangers manager was also ejected during the inning. It was all for naught, as the Desert Brewers gave one run back in the bottom of the fifth and two in the sixth. Antunez finished 3-4 with a double. Kenny Fenelon was 0-3 with a walk and stole his 22nd base of the season. Roderick Flores and Leonard Rijo both had RBI line drive singles to center to account for the Brewers first two runs of the game. Joan Pena pitched the last two innings giving up three earned runs while allowing three hits and walking three, but five of the six outs he recorded came via the strikeout. Catcher Jonathan Rangel was pulled from the game in the 4th as the game log noted an injury delay as successive run-scoring wild pitches were thrown by RH starter Dariel Jaquez, two of the five thrown by Jacquez in his four innings of work (5 R, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HR). Rangel was replaced behind the dish by Malachai Halterman. A third catcher, Freider Rojas, has appeared in 17 games at catcher this season (13 starts). However, if Rangel, who also has 17 starts at first base, were to miss any time, it further depletes an extremely lean roster. The only non-catcher on the bench as this game started was middle infielder CJ Hughes. This lack of stateside roster flexibility across MiLB has been discussed to some extent in the national media this summer. Organizations are limited to 165 non-40-man roster stateside players (those on the 60-day or full-season injured list do not count, though the number of players that can be designated as long-term injured is capped at 15).

No updates as yet. Nashville’s offense kept the bases juiced with nine hits and ten walks scattered throughout the lineup. Luke Adams went 1-3, with two walks, two runs and his fifth stolen base of the season. The Sounds tied the game 1-1 in the 2nd on Ethan Murray's bases-loaded walk. Eduardo Garcia followed that with an RBI single to left, but Darrien Miller was thrown out at the plate for the 2nd out of the inning on the play. Eddys Leonard hit his eleventh home run of the season for his only hit in five trips to the plate. It came in the top of the 7th, a nice response as Charlotte had just tied the game at 2-2. Later in the 7th, Miller's second hit of the game drove in Luke Adams, then -- Tyler Black extended his on-base streak to 18 games with a hit in four at-bats and his 16th stolen base. There are four additional videos available here (all dated 7/8) from a Charlotte perspective. We don't see the very first batter of the game, it was a 94.6 MPH grounder that deflected off of Hardin. The MiLB.TV archive for subscribers shows the ball catching the back or side of Hardin's calf just above the ankle (01:08:00 hour/minute mark) before deflecting to Brock Wilken at third base, batter reached. They don't show it on screen, but the Charlotte announcers indicated Hardin slammed his glove down in frustration and they also mentioned it was the third consecutive start that he's been nailed by a comebacker.
