Manny Pina Placed On 10-Day DL

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina has been placed on the 10-day DL with a right calf strain. This comes as quite a surprise, as Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that he might've been able to start today.

Matt Albers Allows Walk Off Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Albers allowed a walk-off home run in the 3-2 loss to the New York Mets in 2/3 of an inning. This was in a non-save situation, however, the last day he pitched was on April 11, so this was most likely to just get some work in. Despite Josh Hader […]

Jhoulys Chacin Chased Out Early Again

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin went four innings giving up one earned run, five hits, three walks, and four strikeouts. Despite giving up only one run, giving up eight baserunners in four innings is not exactly an ideal start as he ended up throwing 85 pitches. This is now his third start out of […]

Domingo Santana Extends Hitting Streak To Six

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana went 1-for-4 on Sunday in the 3-2 loss to the New York Mets. During his five-game hitting streak, Santana has gone 8-for-25 for a .320 batting average and has also walked three times in that span. Despite all these hits being singles, Santana is displaying his ability to get on […]

Keon Broxton Off To A Hot Start In Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Keon Broxton was forced to the minor leagues due to depth issues in the outfield at the big league level but has been on a tear thus far for Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Orlando Arcia Hits Pinch Hit Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia was originally not in the starting lineup today, but hit a pinch-hit home run off the bench for his first home run of the season. This was only Arcia's second extra-base hit of the season, his other one being a double dating back to April 9. Despite this home run, […]

Jonathan Villar Drives Three Run Bomb In Win

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the 5-1 win over the New York Mets. So far this season, Villar has displayed a fantastic ability to get base hits as he now holds a .333 batting average in April after a subpar .182 batting average March. Despite Villar's ability […]

Josh Hader Gets First Save Of 2018 Season

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader went two innings and allowed no base runners with five strikeouts in the 5-1 win over the New York Mets. Hader came in the eighth when the score was 4-1, and after the Brewers scored another run in the ninth, they decided to keep him out there and finish […]

Chase Anderson Continues Good Season With Quality Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson went 6 1/3 innings pitched while only giving up two hits, one earned run, two walks, and striking out five. After Anderson allowed four runs in four innings pitched on April 3 against the Cardinals, he has now given up only three runs in his last two starts. This […]

Orlando Arcia To Sit Saturday Against Mets

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia will take a customary rest day on Saturday as the Brewers face off against the New York Mets. Arcia has been extremely cold to start this season, with a .159 batting average and a mere .395 OPS. Add in the fact that he has made three errors already for a […]

Tyler Webb Claimed Off Waivers By San Diego

Former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Tyler Webb was put on waivers on April 7, and has been claimed by the San Diego Padres. Webb has only pitched eight innings in the big leagues, with a 5.68 ERA at 27 years old. This move happened as Dinelson Lamet was added to the 60 Day DL and allowed […]

Ryan Braun Hits HR Despite Struggles

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 1-for-4 with his third HR of the season in the 6-5 loss to the New York Mets. His homer was a two run shot off Steven Matz in the sixth inning that brought the Brewers within two runs. Despite the homer, Braun continues to have a rough start to […]

Zach Davies Can't Make It Out Of Fourth Inning

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies was beat up by the red-hot Mets Friday night. A performance such as this was to be expected as he has a career 4.22 ERA with a .325 batting average allowed against the Mets. Davies finished the night at 4 1/3 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits, including […]

Everybody Hurts - How Worried Should You Be?

As I usually do this time of year, I've spent a lot of time counseling fantasy owners to stay calm and be patient. A slow start doesn't always mean that a player won't perform to expectations. Frustrating though it may be, you're often better off weathering the storm and sticking with him. Injuries, though? Those […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 2

Week 2 of the young baseball season brought some more excitement: walkoffs, bench-clearing brawls, extra inning marathons, and more! But what about the bullpens? After a tumultuous Week 1, what went on in the bullpens around Major League Baseball in Week 2? Let's take a look at the news, the best performers, and any suggested […]

Week 3 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 […]

Rookie Report - Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 2)

The deadline for teams to secure an additional year of team control will pass later this week, meaning we will have a far better shot of seeing guys like Nick Senzel, Kyle Tucker, and, of course, Ronald Acuna at some point after this week passes. Hopefully those youngsters will be featured on next week's list. […]

Eric Thames Gets Fourth Home Run In Five Games

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a home run in the 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Thames has been on fire as of late, as he now has four home runs in his last five games to bring his April slugging percentage to an impressive […]

Matt Albers Locks Down First Save Of 2018

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Albers went two-thirds of an inning, giving up two hits and striking out one to secure the 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Albers took over after Josh Hader gave up a leadoff home run to Tommy Pham and despite giving up two hits, the moment Albers came out […]

Junior Guerra Looks Great In Win Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Junior Guerra went 5 1/3 innings while giving up four hits, one earned run, two walks and striking out four in the 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Guerra had a little bit of a crazy fifth inning, as he allowed three men on base, but managed to get out […]

Lorenzo Cain Will Return Friday, Barring Setbacks

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain is expected to return from his quadriceps strain on Friday against the New York Mets. Cain was injured on Monday and the injury seemed to be nothing too serious from the beginning. With the Brewers losing both Christian Yelich and Cain, they'll want to take their time on their star […]

Christian Yelich Aiming For Sunday Return

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is aiming for a Sunday return from an oblique strain, as that is the first day he is eligible to return from the disabled list. Yelich was injured on April 4 and was then later put on the DL on April 10, and for the most part, the Brewers don't […]
