Travis Shaw Goes Hitless Again
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 0-for-4 again on Saturday with a walk and two strikeouts. Shaw is now batting .194 and has 10 walks to 35 strikeouts. The strikeouts were a big problem in spring training and seemed to have followed him into the 2019 season. Shaw also doesn't have very good counting […]
Yasmani Grandal Steals Another Base Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win against the Mets. Grandal has now already tied his career high in stolen bases at three and it's still April. That being said, you shouldn't expect any steals from Grandal, but if he does steal five […]
Mike Moustakas Steals A Base Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run while recording his first steal in Saturday's win against the Mets. Moustakas has had back to back two hit games since returning from his injury so he looks to be healthy enough. The Brewers seem to have confidence in him as […]
Christian Yelich Homers And Steals A Base Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder and baseball God Christian Yelich went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win against the Mets. That is now 14 home runs for Yelich and six steals. Yelich has been an absolute monster this season and is an obvious front runner […]
Lorenzo Cain Collects Three More Hits Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-5 with two runs in Saturday's win against the Mets. After a three game stretch without a hit, Cain now has two multi-hit games in a row bringing his average back up to .284. The fact that Cain only has three steals and 10 extra base hits so far […]
Josh Hader Records Two Inning Save
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader recorded a perfect two inning save while striking out five batters in Saturday's win against the Mets. This was a great rebound for Hader as he had been bad in his previous three appearances. Also, Jeremy Jeffress allowed three base runners and a run to score without recording an out, […]
Jeremy Jeffress Doesn't Record An Out
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress came into the eighth inning with a three run lead and allowed two hits, a walk and a run before being pulled for Josh Hader without recording an out. This was the first time that Jeffress had given up a run this season and it was a bad time for […]
Brandon Woodruff Solid Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff gave up one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six in five innings during Saturday's win against the Mets. This was one of the better starts for Woodruff this season, however it was still not a quality start. Woodruff has yet to earn a quality […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 5 Waiver Wire
There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Eric Thames is Starting on Friday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames will draw the start at first base on Friday. He'll bat seventh against New York Mets righty Jacob deGrom, so that's no easy task for any hitter. Jesus Aguilar will get the night off to rest, but he wasn't likely going to do much against deGrom. Most of the […]
Mike Moustakas Back On Friday
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas (finger) is back in the starting lineup at second base and is batting cleanup on Friday against Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom. Moose fractured the tip of his right ring finger last Saturday and hadn't played since. He's hitting just .239 on the season but does have six home […]
Christian Yelich Enjoys Home Cooking
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, the 2018 National League MVP, is hitting .417/.540/.1.271 with 13 home runs at home this year. He's hitting only .227/.306/.273 without a single homer on the road. In fact, his last 18 home runs -- dating back to last season and including the playoffs -- have all come at home. […]

Eric Thames Homers Again Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals. Thames has been getting more playing time as of late with how badly Jesus Aguilar has been struggling and seems to be taking advantage of it. Thames also batted second on Wednesday, which is […]
Jeremy Jeffress Keeps Pitching Well
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress threw another scoreless inning and struck out two during Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals. Jeffress was presumed to be Milwaukee's closer coming into the year before he ended up on the injured list. Josh Hader took over and seemed to be unstoppable until late, giving up runs in three straight […]
Jhoulys Chacin Bad Again Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin gave up four runs on five hits and a walk through four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals. Chacin has definitely been disappointing so far this season as this start raises his ERA to 6.35. Luckily, pretty much all of the Brewers starters have struggled so far in […]
Brewers Bring Back Gio Gonzalez
The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to a one-year, $2 million major league contract with free-agent starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez on Wednesday, according to sources. The deal also includes $2 million in performance bonuses. Gonzalez pitched well for the Brew Crew after being traded over from Washington last year, but he's 33 years old and isn't a […]
Brewers The Front-Runner For Gio Gonzalez
The Milwaukee Brewers have emerged as the front-runners to sign free-agent starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez, according to sources. Gonzalez opted out of his deal with the Yankees over the weekend and is now on the open market. The 33-year-old left-hander had a nice 2.13 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 in five starts for Milwaukee […]
Christian Yelich Taking The Day Off On Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will get his first day off of the season on Wednesday against Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals. Yelich has been in MVP form to start the season, but he has failed to get a hit in his past three games. In his absence, Ben Gamel will start in […]
