Tyler Saladino Headed To Disabled List

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (ankle) will head to the 10-day disabled list for an ankle injury he acquired in Tuesday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. While Saladino did not break any bones, this is most likely just an insurance move to ensure he doesn't injure his ankle any further. Orlando Arcia is the […]

Tyler Saladino Sprains Left Ankle

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino exited Tuesday's game with an ankle issue, and it has been revealed that he is dealing with an ankle sprain.

Jonathan Villar To Rest Tuesday Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar (rest) will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Domingo Santana To Sit Again On Tuesday Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana (rest) will remain absent from the lineup on Tuesday for Game 2 against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Trading Up - Miles Mikolas

The legend of the Lizard King begins in 2011 when a young Miles Mikolas, a self-described picky eater, accepted a teammate’s bet to eat a live lizard in exchange for paying Mikolas’ Arizona Fall League dues. Mikolas agreed, coated the lizard in Moutain Dew, tasted it quickly, and paced for a moment. Then he crammed […]

Christian Yelich Does A Little Bit Of Everything In Win

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with three runs, a home run, one RBI, and two stolen bases in the 8-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. This game was a perfect summary of Yelich's month of May that he had, as he has been great to say the least. In May, he's batted […]

Eric Thames To Have Checkup With Doctor On Thumb

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames (thumb) is going to go visit a doctor on Tuesday with the purpose of knowing whether he can return to hitting.

Jimmy Nelson Is Playing Catch After 10-Day Break

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is now playing catch once again alongside starting pitcher Wade Miley.

The Cut List (Week 9): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 9 of the Cut List. Last week’s cut suggestions were some of the best yet if you ask me. I suggested cutting Jay Bruce, Albert Pujols, Rougned Odor, and Rich Hill and they all continued their poor play. Bruce, Pujols, and Odor went a combined 13-for-64 (.203) and Hill was pulled from […]
