9 months agoThe Milwaukee Brewers reinstated outfielder
Garrett Mitchell (finger) from the 60-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder
Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. The Brewers also designated infielder
Owen Miller for assignment. It remains to be seen if Mitchell will be in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, but whenever he gets into a game, it will be his season debut after missing the first three months of 2024 with a fractured finger. There's a crowded outfield already in Milwaukee, so fantasy managers can't expect the former first-rounder to see regular playing time among
Christian Yelich,
Blake Perkins,
Sal Frelick and
Jackson Chourio. In 12 minor-league rehab games for Nashville, Mitchell looked good, hitting .318 with four home runs and four steals.

9 months agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder
Garrett Mitchell (hamstring) left Wednesday's rehab game in the ninth inning due to a hamstring injury, according to Jack Stern of the Brewer Fanatic. Mitchell was enjoying a nice game where he tallied two hits including one double and a round-tripper with two RBI. This was Mitchell's tenth game at Triple-A during the stint and 12th overall rehab game. During these rehab games, Mitchell has performed very well with a .298/.411/.596 line. The former UCLA Bruin was nearing a return to the majors but may have to wait a bit longer with this minor setback. Dynasty managers should pay close attention to Michell's status during the weekend.

9 months agoMilwaukee Brewers outfield prospect
Garrett Mitchell (hand) was 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. On a rehab assignment, Mitchell is hitting .269 with three homers and six RBI in six games for Nashville. The 25-year-old is rounding back into form after missing a good portion of the season with a fractured bone in his left hand. If he has a few more games like the one on Thursday, he should push for a return to Milwaukee soon. His plus speed makes him an intriguing waiver-wire addition in leagues of all sizes upon his return to the Brewers.

10 months agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder
Garrett Mitchell (finger) has recently participated in full batting practice and will start taking live at-bats soon. Mitchell suffered a fracture to his left index finger earlier in the spring and has been sidelined ever since. However, he has yet to face any setbacks and is nearing the end of his recovery process. The young outfielder has only appeared in 47 games at the major league level across the past two seasons and posted a .278/.315/.446 five home runs, and a 7:26 BB:K ratio. With how well he is progressing, a mid-June return date seems very possible. However, when he does return, he will join a crowded outfield with
Christian Yelich,
Jackson Chourio,
Blake Perkins,
Jake Bauers, and
Sal Frelick, which will make reliable playing time hard to find. Mitchell is worth adding in NL-only formats but should be left on the waiver wire in shallow leagues.
