Week 14 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Corey Knebel Locks Down the Ninth in Cincinnati

Brewers closer Corey Knebel earned the save Thursday against Cincinnati. Knebel gave up one hit but struck out two of the batters he faced on his way to save number eight. Early in April, Knebel suffered a scary hamstring injury that looked season-ending, however, he's has come back strong and held onto his closer role […]

Eric Thames Plays Hero on Thursday

Brewers leadoff hitter Eric Thames hit the go-ahead home run in Thursday's game against Cincinnati. Thames smashed a three-run bomb in the top of the seventh inning to put the Brewers up by one. Milwaukee maintained the lead and went on to win the game behind powerful efforts from Thames and fellow slugger Jesus Aguilar. […]

Jesus Aguilar is a Man on a Mission

Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar slugged home run number 19 Thursday against Cincinnati. He is now tied with Bryce Harper and Nolan Arenado for the National League HR lead. However, one of these things is not like the others. Harper and Arenado were both first-round picks; Aguilar is still on the waiver wire in over […]

Junior Guerra Picks Up Win in Shaky Start Thursday

Brewers starting pitcher Junior Guerra grabbed his fourth win of the season Thursday against Cincinnati. Guerra allowed nine baserunners and was credited with four earned runs, his most since May 9 against Cleveland. To be fair to Guerra, playing at Great American Ballpark against this Cincinnati team is a tall task and he came out […]

Christian Yelich Pulled From Thursday's Game

Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has been removed from Thursday's game reportedly due to a sore back. Yelich grounded out in his first at-bat and was replaced by Keon Broxton in center field shortly after. He probably hurt his back on the swing which is concerning considering that he hurt his oblique after swinging earlier in […]

Manny Pina Out on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Erik Kratz will get the start behind the plate and bat seventh against Reds' righty Anthony DeSclafani. Nothing appears to be wrong with Pina, but the Brewers are giving him a day off after starting a […]

Jonathan Villar Sitting on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Brad Miller will draw the start at second base and bat sixth against Reds' righty Anthony DeSclafani. It's looking like a normal rest day for Villar who has started three straight games. Miller has not […]

Eric Thames Leading Off, Jesus Aguilar Batting Third on Thursday

The Milwaukee Brewers have shaken their lineup around on Thursday with the return of Travis Shaw. Eric Thames, the power-hitting lefty is batting first and the scorching Jesus Aguilar is in the three-hole. Aguilar has seven home runs over the past 15 days and an OPS over 1.000. Lorenzo Cain had recently been batting third […]

Tyler Saladino to Begin Rehab Assignment on Thursday

Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment in Low-A Wisconsin on Thursday. Saladino has not played since May 29 and will likely need to get his legs back under him before returning to Milwaukee. He is reportedly set to appear in three rehab games but it is unclear exactly when he will […]

Travis Shaw Returns to Lineup on Thursday

Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is back in the lineup Thursday and batting cleanup. Shaw has not played since Sunday and is hopefully back to full strength. He's had a rough month so far, batting only .188 over the past 30 days with just one home run. Maybe the short break refreshed his legs […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 13)

Miami Marlins utility player Derek Dietrich has recently been linked to numerous trade rumors, with one of the teams being the Milwaukee Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Travis Shaw is Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Shaw exited early during Sunday's game and is expected to miss a couple of games. Hernan Perez will serve as the starting third baseman for the Brewers on Tuesday against Jake Junis. Shaw should […]

Lorenzo Cain Lands On DL, Keon Broxton Called Up

The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Lorenzo Cain (groin) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a left groin strain. In a corresponding move, outfielder Keon Broxton was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Cain leads the National League in wins above replacement but has been injured since the weekend.
