Wade Miley Needs Tommy John Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers veteran left-hander Wade Miley (elbow) needs Tommy John surgery and will spend the next 10 to 12 months rehabbing and then decide whether to continue his career. It's a tough break for the 37-year-old southpaw and the Brewers. Fantasy baseball managers that were stashing Miley in deeper leagues can now officially let go. […]

Trevor Megill Notches First Career Save With Scoreless Ninth

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Trevor Megill tossed a scoreless ninth inning to notch the first save of his career during Thursday's 7-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 30-year-old has been a pleasant surprise out of the bullpen for the Brewers and has been trusted to face the heart of the opponent's order multiple times this […]

Freddy Peralta Gives Up Five Runs On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta surrendered five runs on five hits across 4 2/3 innings of work during Thursday's 7-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He struck out five batters and allowed a season-high five walks in the no-decision. It was not the sharpest outing for the 27-year-old, who saw his season ERA balloon […]

2024 MLB Power Rankings: Week 5

The final week of April is upon us and as we close out the first month (and change) of the baseball season, it's becoming pretty clear which teams are actually pretty good (or bad) and not just off to a hot (or cold) start. Of course, the more games that teams play, the more reliable […]

Jacob Misiorowski Strikes Out Seven Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski finally looked like the pitcher we were expecting to see when the season opened up, tossing 4 1/3 innings of one-hit ball for Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday. The 22-year-old did not allow a run while walking one batter and striking out seven. The righty had walked 11 batters over […]

Gregory Barrios Goes 13-For-18 In Big Week

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Gregory Barrios signed out of Venezuela in early 2021. He has proven himself as a reliable hitter and defender, possessing the qualities needed to ascend through the minors. He's not a power hitter -- he has just one home run over 198 pro games -- but shows a decent understanding of […]

MLB Teams With Closer Issues for Fantasy Baseball: Always Be Closing

Accumulating saves isn’t always easy in fantasy baseball. We entered the season with some reliable closers on the disabled list, including Devin Williams (back) and Paul Sewald (oblique). There is also Josh Hader, who was considered one of the top closers heading into the season. Not only does he have just two saves, but he […]

Brice Turang Shows Off Speed

Milwaukee Brewers middle infielder Brice Turang went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases on Tuesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Turang's two stolen bases lifts his total to 12 on the season. He is also hitting a respectable .319 with two homers and nine RBI. Turang is unlikely to help much in the power […]

When is Devin Williams Coming Back? - Fantasy Baseball Injury Return Update

Devin Williams has not played a single game this season for the Milwaukee Brewers. During spring training, the star closer sustained a back injury, and he is currently placed on the 60-day injured list. The 29-year-old pitcher is arguably the best closer in baseball and had a phenomenal season last year. The Brewers have started […]

Tobias Myers Making MLB Debut On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers is making his major-league debut on Tuesday and is starting on the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road. Myers was called up by the Brew Crew last week for pitching depth, but he never got into a game, so this will be the 25-year-old's big-league debut. Before his […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash: Redraft Rankings (April 21 - April 28)

Fantasy Baseball Frauds? Standout Performers Through Week 4

Baseball is a fickle beast. A player can be red-hot at the plate for a week, then go into an extended slump at a moment’s notice. Sometimes all it takes is one bad matchup to send a player into a funk, or for their timing to be slightly off. The same can be said for […]

Champ or Chump: Andy Pages and Jonatan Clase Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

Last week, we explored how prospect rankings don't always equate to immediate fantasy baseball value. You probably want to roster Jackson Holliday in 2028, but his chances of making a quick impact in our game are low. The converse is also true. Players who don't have much prospect pedigree may have just the skills your […]

Blake Perkins - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: A few weeks ago, Blake Perkins was struggling to find at-bats. With the Brewers offense off to a hot start, there was little reason to shake things up by mixing in the 27-year-old outfielder. He started on Opening Day but didn’t make […]

Tyler Black Keeps On Hitting At Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman prospect Tyler Black went 2-for-4 with a home run for Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. He also had four RBI, a walk, and a run scored in the contest. The 23-year-old keeps making his case for a promotion to the big league club, now with a .315-2-13-14-2 line on the young season. […]

Robert Gasser Could Return This Week

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Robert Gasser (elbow) could be ready to pitch for Triple-A Nashville as soon as this week after being on the shelf for almost a month in the minors due to a bone spur in his left elbow. The Brewers could really use some help in their big-league starting rotation with DL […]

Bryse Wilson Likely To Move Into Rotation

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson is likely to move from the bullpen into the team's starting rotation for now with DL Hall (knee), Wade Miley (elbow) and Jakob Junis (head, shoulder) all on the injured list right now. Wilson made a spot start on the last homestand when the Brewers had a hole in their […]

Jakob Junis Hit In Head During Batting Practice

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jakob Junis (head, shoulder) was hit in the head by a line drive during pre-game batting practice before Monday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Junis is currently on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder injury. He was alert and responsive and was taken for more observation by an ambulance at PNC […]

Wade Miley Put On 15-Day Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed left-hander Wade Miley (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 19) with left-elbow inflammation on Monday. In other moves, the team recalled right-hander Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville, reinstated first baseman Jake Bauers from the bereavement list, and optioned infielder Andruw Monasterio to Nashville. The 37-year-old Miley started the […]

Joel Payamps - Closers and Saves Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Devin Williams sidelined until sometime around the All-Star break, the closing job was up for grabs and it was presumed Joel Payamps would fill in. Then, after Abner Uribe converted three straight saves to begin the season it seemed like he would […]

Fantasy Baseball Players To Watch For The Week Ahead (April 22 - April 28)

The fourth week of the season has come to a close and while there were the usual pitcher injuries, they weren't the ones we've seen over the first few weeks. Some are dealing with things like neck stiffness (Cristian Javier) and others were hit with line drives off their arms (Ryne Nelson and Frankie Montas). […]
