Kenyan Drake Not Starting In Camp
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was not the starter in training camp on Friday. Kalen Ballage was given the start and was taking the first and second down reps with the starters, while Kenyan Drake worked the third downs. Through the first two days of training camp, it certainly looks like Ballage is entering […]
Steve McCarthy 5 years agoKalen Ballage Taking Starting Reps Again Friday
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was seen practicing with the starters again on Friday. Though training camp has just started, the 6'2" 238lb running back looks like he has overtaken Kenyan Drake as the primary running back. It will obviously take more time in camp to figure out the roster, but it's worth noting […]
Steve McCarthy 5 years agoGio Gonzalez Is A Risky Start For Friday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez has a tough matchup heading in to Friday's game against the Cubs. Gonzalez only lasted four innings in his first start back from the injured list on the 20th against the Diamondbacks, giving up three runs on five hits and two runs while only striking out one batter. Now, […]
Steve McCarthy 5 years agoChase Anderson Solid Thursday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson gave up two runs on six hits and a walk through five innings in Thursday's win against the Pirates. Anderson has yet to post a quality start since his return to the rotation, and more than likely won't find fantasy value until he starts going deeper into games. Feel […]

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Twins. Hiura has gotten off to a slow start in his major league career, but there are signs he is turning it around. Kiura has at least one hit in seven of his last ten games with three […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoZach Davies Rebounds Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies allowed five hits and two walks through six scoreless innings in Tuesday's loss to the Twins. After a six run meltdown in his previous start, Davies looked like his former self and lowered his ERA to 2.19. A lot of Davies' underlying stats show that his good starts are […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoRyan Braun Heats Up With Two More Hits
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a run in Friday's loss to the Phillies. Braun seems to be breaking out of his extended slump recently after hitting safely in eight of the last nine games with three multi-hit games, a home run and a steal in that span. Braun will get more days […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoChase Anderson Struggles Friday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson gave up three runs on six hits through four innings in Friday's loss to the Phillies. Anderson has yet to post a quality start since joining the rotation and doesn't offer a lot of upside at the moment. For now, it's safe to leave Anderson on the waiver wire […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoKeston Hiura Homers Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Kiura went 1-for-5 with a homer in Wednesday's win over the Reds. This is Hiura's second major league home run after having 11 in the minors through 37 games.

Steve McCarthy 6 years agoMike Moustakas Collects Three Hits Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a home run and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds. Moustakas has been playing a lot of third base recently with the call up of Keston Kiura and should gain eligibility soon. Moustakas is a solid option at second base going forward, especially […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoZach Davies Roughed Up Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies gave up six runs on six hits and a walk through three innings in Wednesday's win over the Reds. This seems to have been a long time coming for Davies as he has drastically out performed his peripherals so far this season. Heading into the game, Davies ERA was […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoGio Gonzalez Takes Loss Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez gave up three runs on three hits and three walks over five innings in Tuesday's loss to the Reds. Gonzalez pitched decent enough to win, but the Brewers failed to score a run and thus, he took the loss. Though he has yet to post a quality start, Gonzalez […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoMike Moustakas Homers On Thursday
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a home runs, two RBI and two runs in Thursday's win over the Phillies. Moustakas was actually playing third base with the demotion of Travis Shaw and the Brewers bringing up Keston Hiura to play second, so Moustakas looks to be the everyday third baseman at […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoChristian Yelich Smashes Two Homers Thursday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 3-for-5 with two homers, a double, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base in Thursday's win against the Phillies.

Steve McCarthy 6 years agoYasmani Grandal Homers Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in Tuesday's win over the Phillies. After a slow start, then an insanely hot streak, Grandal has cooled off yet again. Grandal is a streaky hitter, but still looks to be one of the top catching options for the rest of […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoBrandon Woodruff Lowers ERA Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff threw six shutout innings allowing one hit and five walks while striking out five in Tuesday's win against the Phillies. Woodruff has now posted back to back quality starts which gives him a total of two on the season. As impressive as only allowing one hit against the Phillies […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 5-for-6 with two doubles, an RBI, a run and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Phillies. Cain has cooled off recently as this performance brought his average up to .266, which is his lowest batting average since 2013. Cain is usually a .300 hitter, so it's safe […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoTravis Shaw Hitless Again Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. The further we get into the season, the more things seem to be seriously concerning with Shaw. His average now sits at .172 and Shaw has 45 strikeouts in 128 at-bats. At this point, if […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoEric Thames Collects Two Hits Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run and two walks in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

Steve McCarthy 6 years agoBrandon Woodruff Strikes Out Nine Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff gave up one run on four hits and struck out nine Nationals over six innings in a win on Wednesday.

Steve McCarthy 6 years agoLorenzo Cain Leaves Game After HBP
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain left Sunday's game after taking a pitch to the hands in his third at bat. The X-rays came back negative and it is being considered a left hand contusion for the moment. For now, it's unclear how much if any time Cain will miss, but it is likely that he […]
Steve McCarthy 6 years agoChristian Yelich Homers In Return
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win against the Mets. This was the first game Yelich has started since his injury on April 28th, so it's nice to see him back and still mashing the baseball. It goes without saying, but Yelich is must start […]

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies gave up two runs on six hits and a walk through 7 2/3 innings in Sunday's win against the Mets.

Steve McCarthy 6 years agoJeremy Jeffress Efficient On Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress pitched a perfect inning on six pitches in Saturday's game against the Mets. This now makes three perfect innings in a row since Jeffress had his two blow up starts. Josh Hader is firmly the Brewers closer, but if Jeffress can regain some of the velocity he has lost, he […]

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez gave up one run on three hits over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's game against the Mets. Gonzalez also didn't allow a walk and struck out seven.
