The Cut List (Week 21): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 21 of the Cut List. Last week we saw Jon Lester and Jed Lowrie bounce back after enduring major slumps in July. Those weren’t the best calls I’ve made this year, to say the least. This week I’m taking a look at Brian Anderson, Kyle Schwarber, Sean Newcomb, and Chris Taylor. All […]

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It appears that this is just a rest day for Schoop. Orlando Arcia will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth against righty Miles Mikolas. Arcia has struggled with the bat all season, so […]

Ryan Braun is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He continues to deal with rib cage tightness, but the issue is believed to be day-to-day. Keon Broxton will play right field and bat sixth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Broxton can be avoided in […]

Eric Thames is Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Thames injured his right knee while colliding with teammate Lorenzo Cain on Friday. It's assumed this is just a day-to-day issue until the Brewers say it's more serious. Jesus Aguilar will bat cleanup and […]

Joakim Soria To Throw Bullpen Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Joakim Soria (groin) is making progress from his groin strain and threw off flat ground Friday, according to manager Craig Counsell. He will move to a light bullpen session on Sunday. The veteran reliever won't be ready to come off the disabled list when he's eligible on Monday, but he is […]

Jimmy Nelson Throws Bullpen Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Saturday and is doing everything in his power to return this year. Nelson had a breakout year with the Brewers in 2017 but injured his shoulder late in the year and hasn't pitched at all this season. It's still possible he can return […]

Zach Davies To Make Another Rehab Start Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (shoulder) will make another rehab start for Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday. Davies hasn't performed well on his rehab assignment, so the Brewers likely want to see better results before they activate him. The right-hander has been on out since late May and wasn't very effective before his injury. Fantasy […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/18/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a split slate of games with only three in the early window and then an 11-game main slate. Options are a bit thin across the board, so it could be a time to take a shot in some tournaments, where it's easy to be different. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Zach Davies Has Another Shaky Rehab Outing

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (shoulder) allowed three hits and four earned runs while walking five and striking out two in 3 2/3 innings (79 pitches) in his latest rehab start for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday. Manager Craig Counsell said the team will talk about the next step for Davies. The right-hander has […]

Eric Thames Leaves Game Early Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) left the game early on Friday with right knee soreness after a collision in the outfield with teammate Lorenzo Cain. Thames was hitless with a strikeout in his only plate appearance before leaving. The severity of his injury is unknown, but don't be surprised if he doesn't play […]

Ryan Braun is Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He left Wednesday's game with tightness in his rib cage and is apparently not feeling well enough to play yet. Eric Thames will start in right field and bat seventh, while Jesus Aguilar plays […]

Fantasy Reflections: Dumb Draft Decisions

2018 is shaping up to be my worst fantasy baseball performance of the decade. I’m on track to win my home league, but I’m doomed to finish in the bottom half of the standings in most of my entries this season. There are plenty of reasons why obstacles with which we’re all familiar. It’s frustrating, […]

Jhoulys Chacin To Start Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will start against the Cardinals in the series finale on Sunday. Chase Anderson will be pushed back to Monday against the Reds to get some extra rest. Chacin has been the much more reliable pitcher this year for the Brew Crew and is 12-4 with a 3.72 ERA, 1.19 […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 20)

A handful of intriguing rookies made their MLB debuts this past week, with two of the top 100 prospects according to MLB Pipeline joining The Show. Save for Jansen, I do not really foresee any of the recently promoted prospects being impact players, at least for fantasy, down the stretch, so it still remained a […]

Manny Pina Needs Tests On Left Shoulder

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (shoulder) will head back to Milwaukee to have his left shoulder examined on Thursday. Pina left the game early on Wednesday with the injury. He had a hit, run scored, walk and a strikeout in three plate appearances before leaving. It's good news that it's to his non-throwing shoulder, but […]

Ryan Braun Listed As Day-To-Day

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rib cage) is listed as day-to-day with a rib issue after leaving the game early on Wednesday, according to manager Craig Counsell. Braun injured himself on a sliding catch attempt in the third inning. Given Braun's injury history, he could still find his way onto the disabled list if he […]

Ryan Braun Exits Early Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rib cage) left the game early on Wednesday with right rib cage tightness. It's unclear how severe his injury is, but given Braun's troubles with injuries, it might be smart to plan for him to land on the disabled list. He was hitless in two plate appearances before departing. Braun […]

Jimmy Nelson Running Out Of Time

Milwaukee Brewers general manager David Stearns said starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) "is running out of time" to make a return this year. It sounds unlikely that Nelson will return to the rotation for the stretch run. He might not be worth the stash at this point if you were holding onto him in a […]

Jhoulys Chacin Throws Gem Versus Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin struck out 10 batters while throwing seven scoreless innings on Tuesday in a win against the Cubs. Even after this start, Chacin still has a 3.91 ERA and 1.22 WHIP on the season with a low strikeout rate which doesn't offer a lot of upside. Chacin is a two […]

Ryan Braun Homers Twice Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun slugged two home runs during Tuesday's win versus the Cubs. Due to his age, injury concerns, down season and the Brewers abundance of hitters, Braun was looking to be the odd man out most days in the lineup, but he might be playing his way into more playing time. Braun […]

Lorenzo Cain Homers In Win

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain stayed hot on Tuesday with two hits, including a homer. Cain has been on fire lately with a .365 average and .919 OPS over the last two weeks with a couple of steals. Though he doesn't provide a lot of power, Cain is a great source of average and runs […]

Jake Thompson Acquired by Brewers

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jake Thompson has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for cash considerations. The Phillies designated Thompson for assignment last Friday to make room for newly acquired Justin Bour. The Brewers have optioned Thompson to Triple-A Colorado Springs, so he won't be with the MLB team right away. Thompson should be […]
