Brewers Considering Gio Gonzalez

The Milwaukee Brewers are discussing trading for Washington Nationals starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez. The left-hander has cleared revocable trade waivers and can be dealt to any team by Friday evening. Gonzalez has really struggled since the All-Star break and has been a pitcher to avoid for fantasy purposes for a while. A move to hitter-friendly […]

Brewers Sign Emilio Bonifacio

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent infielder Emilio Bonifacio on Friday and are assigning him to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Bonifacio last played in the big leagues in 2017 with the Braves, hitting .132 with no homers and three RBI. That tells you about all you need to know about him.

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Schoop has been hitting better this week, but is still hard to trust in fantasy leagues right now. Orlando Arcia will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Tanner Roark. DFS players can […]

Eric Thames is Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. The playing time for Thames has taken a major hit lately due to the fact Ryan Braun is back healthy. Braun will be in left field and bat fifth, while Jesus Aguilar will play first […]

Brewers Acquire Xavier Cedeno

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired relief pitcher Xavier Cedeno from the Chicago White Sox on Friday, according to sources. While Cedeno isn't expected to be in the mix for saves with his new team, the left-hander is a valuable acquisition as a setup man with the Brewers fighting for a playoff spot. Cedeno has a 2.84 […]

Curtis Granderson A Possibility For Brewers

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson is a possibility for the Milwaukee Brewers as they explore a left-handed hitter off the bench. Granderson has been a part-time player for Toronto in 2018, and he wouldn't play much more with a move to the contending Brewers. The 37-year-old veteran is hitting .243/.340/.429 with 11 home runs […]

Zach Davies To Start Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (shoulder) will come off the disabled list to start on Monday against the Cubs. Davies has had multiple setbacks in his comeback trail and last pitched in the majors on May 29 against the Cardinals. He wasn't particularly effective before his injury either, going 2-5 with a 5.23 ERA, […]

Freddy Peralta Optioned

The Milwaukee Brewers optioned starting pitcher Freddy Peralta to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday. Pitchers Jacob Barnes and Aaron Brooks were also called up from Colorado Springs. Peralta allowed five earned runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Wednesday, and he's struggled in five starts in August […]

Manny Pina Needs Stitches In Lip

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (lip) needed five stitches in his lip after being hit by a pitch in the game on Wednesday. Pina passed concussion tests and looks to be fine. Still, he could miss a game or two. Erik Kratz replaced him behind the dish on Wednesday and would see starts if Pina […]

Jonathan Schoop is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Schoop has seen his playing time decrease lately because he has not done much with the bat since joining Milwaukee. He'll bat sixth and play shortstop versus righty Matt Harvey. Schoop is not worth trusting in DFS […]

Jesus Aguilar is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Eric Thames will play first base and bat seventh versus righty Matt Harvey. However, Thames has not done much with the bat lately, so it's difficult to trust him in DFS contests.

Jeremy Jeffress Blows Save Friday

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress gave up a run on two hits and a walk on Friday night against the Pirates to blow the save. Though it may seem like bad news, there is actually a silver lining to this. This was the third save opportunity in a row for Jeffress after converting the last […]

Wade Miley Hit Hard Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starter Wade Miley gave up two runs through five innings on Friday. Though the results don't seem bad, he allowed 10 hits and walked a batter while only striking out four. Miley rarely gets through six innings and doesn't strike anyone out, so he doesn't offer a whole lot of upside this late […]

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out Friday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The struggling Schoop has started in just two of the Brewers last six games. Orlando Arcia who has been awful with the bat this season is starting over him. Arcia will play shortstop and bat eighth […]

Eric Thames is Out of the Lineup Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Regardless, Jesus Aguilar will play […]
