Tyler Black News
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Tyler Black has been optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday with outfielder Christian Yelich (back) being reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Black, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, went 5-for-22 (.227) with two doubles, no RBI, two stolen bases, a run scored, one walk and eight strikeouts in his first seven major-league games with the Brew Crew. The 23-year-old started five of the seven games he was with the team but will now head back to the farm to hone his craft for the next time the Brewers call on him. The former 33rd overall pick in 2021 out of Wright State broke out in the minors last year and will likely be the next man up to the big leagues if the Brewers suffer another injury to their position-player crop. The left-handed-hitting corner infielder has displayed great plate discipline in his rise up the system.
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Tyler Black is starting at first base and is batting cleanup in just his second major-league game on Wednesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zach Eflin. In his big-league debut on Tuesday, the 23-year-old went 2-for-4 and scored a run in the eventful win over the Rays at home. Black wasn't initially in the team's starting lineup, but he entered the contest in the first inning when catcher Gary Sanchez (hamstring) was hurt. His power/speed combination, coupled with his defensive versatility, makes him a prospect worth looking into in deep-mixed fantasy leagues, and he should see plenty of at-bats against right-handed pitchers. Black got the promotion to Milwaukee by hitting .303 (30-for-99) with five home runs, 18 RBI and three stolen bases in 25 games for Triple-A Nashville this year.
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Tyler Black had a memorable MLB debut in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rays. Black entered the game to play designated hitter after Gary Sanchez (hamstring) exited with a hamstring injury and went 2-for-4 with a single and a double. The 23-year-old is the Brewers' No. 4 ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline. He was hitting well with Triple-A Nashville and could earn playing time if that translates to the big leagues. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance and playing time in the coming days.

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Tyler Black enjoyed one of the best seasons of any minor leaguer in the 2023 campaign. In his age-22 season, Black hit .284 with 18 home runs and 55 stolen bases between the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2023, posting an overall .930 OPS in the process. He played the corner infield spots in doing so, which does not suit his profile. While he has pop, his profile figures to be built around speed and a patient approach at the plate (he owns a minor-league career 16.6% BB%), as he should be able to produce above-average on-base percentages. At 5-foot-10, Black might not be able to keep up with the home run power his peers at the corner infield spots offer but he should earn his fair share of extra-base hits thanks to his legs. He won't log enough big-league time to warrant a pick around his 461 ADP as a third baseman, especially in redraft leagues, but if he can ever find a way to get second-base eligible, fantasy managers should be willing to pounce.
