Freddy Peralta Masterful Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta threw eight shutout innings, allowing only two hits and striking out 11 in a dominant win against the Reds on Wednesday. This is the upside that Peralta brings to the table, all he has to do is work on his consistency. Peralta is 22 years old and has plenty […]

Jeremy Jeffress To Start Rehab Assignment Friday

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said he saw "all good signs" from relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress' (shoulder) outing in extended spring training on Tuesday. The reliever will pitch on Friday with Triple-A San Antonio. Jeffress had a fine 1.29 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 and 15 saves in 73 outings for the Brew Crew last […]

Lorenzo Cain Not In Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain is getting his first off day of 2019 on Wednesday, as Ben Gamel takes his place both in center field and leading off. This will be Gamel's second straight start after he played in place of Ryan Braun on Tuesday. The Brewers face Luis Castillo and the Cincinnati Reds, and […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 4/2/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

We are early in the baseball season, which means it’s time to make rash judgments based on small samples! Okay, maybe that’s not the ideal approach, but as the games start to accumulate, some of these early trends are going to be worth paying attention to. As always, match-ups will play an important role in […]

Ryan Braun Doubles Twice Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run in Monday's win over the Reds. Braun won't be in the lineup every day but when he is, he could serve as a useful fantasy option batting in the middle of the Brewers lineup. Braun should be owned in most […]

Josh Hader Gets Third Save Monday

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader is now 3-for-3 in save chances this season and has yet to give up a run in the absence of Jeremy Jeffress and Corey Knebel. Hader is an elite closing option for the time being and potentially even when Jeffress returns.

Zach Davies Solid In 2019 Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies gave up two runs on four hits and four walks through five innings and struck out six batters in Monday's win against the Reds. Davies doesn't provide a ton of upside and will have a higher than average WHIP, however he does pitch for a great offense and can […]

Lorenzo Cain Collects Two More Hits Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in Sunday's win against the Cardinals. Cain now has a hit in all four games to open the season, including two multi-hit games, and looks to continue his success from last season. With his 30-steal potential while leading off for a great […]

Christian Yelich Homers In Fourth Straight Game

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, three walks and yet another home run on Sunday. Yelich is on an absolute tear to start the season, homering in all four games while batting .500. Last year's National League MVP looks like he's trying to go back-to-back and it's working so […]

Corbin Burnes Shows Out In First Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes nearly set a franchise record in his first start against the St. Louis Cardinals, whiffing 12 batters in just five innings while throwing 87 pitches. Burnes worked primarily out of the bullpen last season, but he looks like a quick riser for fantasy purposes. He struck out the side […]

Jeremy Jeffress Nearing Rehab Assignment

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) threw an inning in extended spring training on Saturday and will pitch again on Tuesday. If that goes well, he'll begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A San Antonio at the end of next week. Even though he's currently on the injured list, Jeffress became a lot more interesting […]

Jesus Aguilar Returns To Brewers Lineup

After sitting out Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar will return to the starting lineup Sunday for the series finale. The 28-year-old started the first two games of the season before sitting out Saturday, as Eric Thames took over first base instead. Aguilar is coming off a career […]

Brewers Unlikely To Sign Craig Kimbrel

The Milwaukee Brewers are unlikely to sign free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel, as they don't have enough room in the 2019 payroll to take on another contract of at least $18 million this year. Kimbrel turned down a $17.9 million one-year qualifying offer from the Red Sox over the winter. The hard-throwing right-hander would be a […]

Travis Shaw Homers In Win Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's win against the Cardinals. Shaw has been off to a rough start to the early 2019 after a lackluster spring training, so Saturday's performance is encouraging. For now, Shaw is a solid option at third base and hopefully […]

Mike Moustakas Slugs Second Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and a walk in Saturday's win against the Cardinals. Through three games this season, Moustakas is batting .444 with two homers and if he is to continue his hot start, he could end up being a steal at second base this season.

Top 30 Impact Rookies for Redraft Fantasy Leagues (Preseason)

It’s no secret that teams are relying more and more heavily on young hitters and pitchers to not only fill out the 25-man rosters but to be key, impactful members of the club. That, in turn, means that prospect watching and analysis plays an increasingly important part of fantasy baseball. Jumping on the promising, raw […]

Josh Hader Records Second Save Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader threw an immaculate inning to secure the save against the Cardinals on Saturday, striking out the side on nine pitches. This now makes Hader two for two in save chances so far this season and has been excellent in both. Hader seems to be solidifying himself as the teams closer […]

Brandon Woodruff Solid In 2019 Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff gave up two runs on six hits and a walk through five innings in Saturday's win over the Cardinals. The Cardinals' lineup has been hot to start the season, so Woodruff limiting the damage to two runs is a good sign, along with his five strikeouts. He also went 2-for-2 […]
