Jorge Lopez Called Back Up To Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jorge Lopez has been called up to the Brewers from Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox. In a corresponding move, Alec Asher was sent down after pitching two innings in Saturday's contest. With the Brewers getting hit hard with injuries right now, they need as many fresh arms as possible to pitch […]

Freddy Peralta Called Up To Brewers, Will Make MLB Debut Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher and #9 ranked prospect in the system, Freddy Peralta was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox after Chase Anderson was placed on the 10-day disabled list. With the Brewers rotation facing numerous injuries, they have had to find every single way possible to get pitchers starting on adequate rest […]

Chase Anderson Placed On 10-Day DL For Illness

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson (illness) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list after missing his projected Saturday start against the Colorado Rockies. While there's no confirmation as to whether Anderson is actually sick, this makes a ton of sense from a strategic point of view for the Brewers. Anderson has not started […]

Brent Suter Makes Subpar Start On Short Notice

Milwaukee Brewers LHP Brent Suter went five innings, giving up seven hits, four earned runs, and one walk while striking out two in the 4-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Chase Anderson was supposed to start tonight, however, was eventually scratched after dealing with illness and was placed on the 10-day disabled list, forcing Suter […]

Ryan Braun Continues May Struggles

Milwaukee Brewers 1B/OF Ryan Braun went 0-for-3 with a walk in the 4-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies. With Braun going 0-for-3, it now gives him only four hits in the entire month of May so far, for a .143 batting average. On the season, he's now rocking a .231 batting average with a .708 […]

Travis Shaw Out of Lineup Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw is out of the lineup on Saturday as they go up against left-handed Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland. Manager Craig Counsell likely wanted to opt for a righty-heavy approach to attack the opposing team's starter. Shaw has been swinging a hot bat of late, as he has three home runs […]

Wade Miley Transferred to 60-Day Disabled List

Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (oblique) has been placed on the 60-day DL. Miley seemed to have injured his oblique in the first inning of Tuesday's game against Cleveland and is now expected to miss several months of playing time while recovering. Oblique issues are the bane of any baseball player's existence as they […]

Jacob Barnes Optioned To Minors

The Milwaukee Brewers have sent right-handed pitcher Jacob Barnes down to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Barnes has struggled mightily in the month of May as he has given up four earned runs and 12 hits in a total of three innings pitched. He had been a dominant set up man in 2017, and was speculated to […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 7

This must be the week when the action really starts. After a few minor deals here and there in April, I've seen a flurry of activity in many fantasy leagues and have made a couple of major transactions myself. We already have trade advice and strategy readily available, so I'll instead continue to focus on […]

Hernan Perez Making The Best Of Starting Second Baseman Opportunity

Milwaukee Brewers utility player Hernan Perez went 3-for-5 with two runs in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. With the Brewers second baseman situation as unclear as ever, Perez has now started in two consecutive games at the position and has gone 5-for-9 in those games. This small outburst of offense has now bumped […]

Josh Hader Locks Down Sixth Save Of The Season

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader threw a perfect inning while striking out two in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. This now puts Hader at six saves on the season, which leads all Brewers pitchers. On the season, Hader now holds a 1.57 ERA with 48 strikeouts in only 23 innings pitched. Corey […]

Dan Jennings Quietly Having A Solid Year

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Dan Jennings pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings allowing two hits while striking out one in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. Despite the two hits Jennings gave up in this game, he still holds a 1.00 WHIP on the season along with a 1.69 ERA. Considering the fact that Jennings […]

Manny Pina Delivers Clutch Home Run In Win

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI, and two runs in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. With the Brewers down 10-8 in the ninth inning, Pina crushed a two-run home run to tie the game, leading to the eventual Brewers win. Pina has struggled for […]

Orlando Arcia Comes Up Big To Break Out Of Slump

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia went 2-for-3 with a run, two RBI, and two walks in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. Coming into this game, Arcia had a .213 batting average and had recently broken a four-game hitless streak just on Thursday. This game gives him a .333 batting average in May with […]

Brandon Woodruff Gets Crushed For Seven Runs

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff went only three innings giving up nine hits, seven runs, and one walk while striking out one in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. Despite Woodruff's terrible beginning to the game, he was able to escape with a no-decision as Chad Bettis put up an equally awful performance […]

Jonathan Villar To Sit Out Sixth Time In Seven Days

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar will sit out for the sixth time in seven days for the Brewers as Hernan Perez takes his second consecutive start at second base. Considering Villar is hitting a respectable .270 on the season so far, it seems quite odd that Villar is constantly being benched all of the sudden. […]

Domingo Santana To Rest Second Consecutive Night

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana (rest) will sit for Friday's matchup against the Colorado Rockies. With Jesus Aguilar hitting quite consistently in May, it leaves Santana as the scapegoat to sit out of games. There could be a trade sometime in the near future that either involves Aguilar, Santana or Eric Thames in order to […]

Wade Miley Expected To Be Out For 6-8 Weeks

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley (oblique) has had his timetable upped from 4-6 weeks to 6-8 weeks on his oblique strain. This is unfortunate news for Miley, who not only allowed one run in six innings in his Brewers debut, but just came back from a groin injury that sidelined him for a month. […]

Nick Franklin To Miss Two Weeks With Quadriceps Strain

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Nick Franklin (quadriceps) is projected to miss about two weeks, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. Franklin was injured on the day he got called up and was placed on the 10-day disabled list on May 9. He will be available to be taken off the DL on May 19. However, if […]

Brent Suter Likely To Start Sunday Against Rockies

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brent Suter is likely to get the call on Sunday to start against the Colorado Rockies. With the newfound injury to Wade Miley as well as the injury to Zach Davies, the rotation remains quite injury-plagued at the moment, and it only makes sense for Suter to come out from the bullpen […]

Brett Phillips Sent Back Down To Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brett Phillips has been optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff was called up in a corresponding move after it was announced that he would start Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Phillips was serving as a backup outfielder with the team and now will go back down to Triple-A to […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/11/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There is a whole lot of good action tonight with 28 teams playing in the Main slate and a bevy of excellent ace pitchers to choose from. The Cubs are playing their usual Friday afternoon matinee against the cross-town rival White Sox, but I'll be leaving them out of the discussion here to focus on […]

Fantasy Reflections: Buying Generic

For a game that’s all about numbers, we often tend to get more hung up on names. Fantasy owners naturally gravitate toward the ones they recognize. It’s understandable, and logical much of the time. These players became brand name assets because they’ve proven themselves capable of sustained success, or their skills or tools are immediately […]

MLB Closers and Saves Targets for Week 7

After a relatively quiet few weeks in bullpens across the league, this past week brought us more than enough noise. Injuries, both with closers heading to the disabled list and closers coming back, have shaken up a few pens. A closer who was filling in for an injured closer got injured. One of the best […]

Week 7 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 […]

Boone Logan Makes LOOGY Appearance In Brewers Debut

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Boone Logan gave up a hit to David Dahl in a Lefty One Out Guy (LOOGY) appearance and was taken out in favor of Matt Albers in the 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Logan's debut with the Brewers was short lived and has so far yet to record his first […]

Jhoulys Chacin Improving As Season Ages With Another Good Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin went 5 1/3 innings giving up four hits, two earned runs, and two walks while striking out five in the 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Considering the fact that Chacin pitched at Coors Field, this is a fantastic line for Chacin. In the month of May, Chacin has […]

Jesus Aguilar Making The Best Of Opportunity With Consistent May

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 1-for-2 with a run, a double, and two walks in the 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. So far in May, Aguilar is slashing a .300/ .423/ .500 line with one home run, three RBI, and four runs during that span and looks to be a contender at […]
