Travis Shaw Resting On Monday Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (rest) will not play in Monday's matchup against Jose Quintana and the Chicago Cubs.

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Barrels

It's time to revisit the most telling of Statcast numbers - Barrels.

Brad Miller Traded To Brewers

Former Tampa Bay Rays INF Brad Miller along with cash has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for Ji-Man Choi.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Has Strained Patella Tendon

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been diagnosed with a strained patella tendon in his left knee.
