Brewers Calling Up Caleb Durbin

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that the Milwaukee Brewers are calling up infield prospect Caleb Durbin from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday in order to try and generate more production from third base at the major-league level. Infielder Oliver Dunn was optioned to Nashville in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old Durbin was acquired from the New York Yankees in the Devin Williams trade in the offseason, and he's considered Milwaukee's No. 21 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Dunn and Vinny Capra weren't getting it done offensively at third with a combined .429 OPS and .188 on-base percentage. Durbin slashed .278/.316/.482 with two homers, three RBI and three steals in 13 games for Nashville. He has 113 steals in 294 minor-league games and will be a waiver-wire option for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues that are seeking some speed. Durbin will be making his major-league debut.

Rhys Hoskins Launches First Home Run Of The Season

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins broke out in Tuesday' 5-0 win over the Detroit Tigers. He went 3-for-4 with a towering solo home run in the second inning, his first of the season. The 440-foot blast opened the scoring, as he later added an RBI single in the seventh to help cap off Tuesday's win. It was a strong showing for Hoskins, who had been off to a slow start at the plate. He is now slashing .229/.345/.313 across 48 at-bats. Hoskins and the Brewers will aim to take the series in Wednesday's finale at home against Detroit.

Quinn Priester Picks Up Win On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester pitched well in a 5-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Priester tossed five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, walking three, and striking out four to earn his first win of the season. The 24-year-old hurler notched seven swinging strikes while keeping the Detroit hitters off balance for much of the outing. Priester has looked good in his two starts for the Brewers after they acquired him from the Boston Red Sox in a trade last week. He is worth considering as a streamer in deeper leagues moving forward.

Trevor Megill Ready To Go

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (knee) was available to pitch in Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks and in Monday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Megill blew the save and took the loss against Arizona on Saturday by allowing three earned runs on two hits while walking three, and then he revealed that he recently underwent an MRI exam on his knee. After seeking a second opinion, the 31-year-old veteran is apparently alright to continue pitching, but he has not appeared since his blowup outings on Saturday. Megill's performance is worth keeping a close eye on after his knee injury, but as things stand now, he should still be considered the Brewers' favorite for save opportunities. However, he has only one save so far in 2025 to go with a bloated 5.79 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 4 2/3 innings.

Tobias Myers To Make Next Rehab Start On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers (oblique) is scheduled to throw 65 to 70 pitches in his next minor-league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Nashville, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. After that, Myers could return to the major-league starting rotation to face the San Francisco Giants next week. The 26-year-old's rehab start on Friday will be his third after working his way back from a left-oblique strain that he suffered in mid-March in spring training. Although he only struck out three total batters, Myers looked sharp in his first two rehab starts, allowing three earned runs on eight hits while walking three in 8 1/3 inning pitched. Myers was great down the stretch for the Brew Crew and finished with an impressive 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, but he had a below-average strikeout rate, which will limit his chances for a breakout in 2025. Still, he's worth a look for rotation depth in deep-mixed leagues if he's available.

Brandon Woodruff To Go Four Innings In Thursday's Rehab Start

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch four innings in his next minor-league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Nashville. After that, Woodruff will be scheduled for some five-inning outings to ensure that he keeps bouncing back, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. In his first rehab start on Saturday for Nashville, Woodruff gave up two earned runs on four hits while walking two and striking out five in 3 2/3 innings. The 32-year-old veteran missed the entire 2023 campaign after having right-shoulder surgery, so his fantasy value is going to be limited while on an innings limit in 2025 whenever he returns. Barring a setback with his shoulder, though, Woodruff should be ready to make his season debut in early May. He was an ace prior to his shoulder injury in 2023, making him worth stashing in all fantasy leagues.

Logan Henderson • SP • Brewers

Logan Henderson Promoted To Major Leagues

The Milwaukee Brewers promoted pitching prospect Logan Henderson to the major league roster. In a corresponding move, the Brewers optioned right-handed pitcher Elvin Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville. After allowing five runs in his season debut, Henderson has flipped the script at Triple-A and is being rewarded with a promotion. Over his last two outings, Henderson has tossed back-to-back five-inning shutouts. During this stretch, he has allowed just three hits and seven walks. He has struck out 16 batters. Due to the numerous injuries in the Milwaukee rotation, fantasy managers should expect the right-hander to see opportunities in the rotation. Currently, Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana are set to start the final two games of their series against the Tigers, which could set Henderson up for his big league debut over the weekend, against the Athletics.

Ernesto Martinez Jr. Riding Five-Game Hitting Streak At Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Ernesto Martinez Jr. is riding a five-game hitting streak at Triple-A. During this stretch, Martinez tallied at least two hits in all but one game and held a .529/.619/.882 slash line. He went deep twice and held a 4:3 BB:K. This impressive stretch earned him International League Hitter of the Week honors. Through 12 total games this season, Martinez has performed well with Triple-A Nashville, holding a .317/.429/.512 slash line with two home runs and an 8:8 BB:K. Last summer, Martinez spent his entire season with Double-A Biloxi and posted a strong .284/.365/.466 line. It appears the 25-year-old is carrying this success into his first taste of Triple-A. If he continues to perform well, Martinez could be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut.

Jesus Made Returns From Ankle Injury

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made (ankle) has returned to action following his minor ankle injury. The shortstop suffered this injury during the first week of April but was able to return to the starting lineup at Low-A Carolina over the weekend. After going 0-for-8 during his first two games of the regular season, Made has begun to turn the corner, going 4-for-16 with two doubles and one home run. He tallied three RBI, scored four runs, swiped a bag, and held a 3:5 BB:K. The 17-year-old joined the Milwaukee organization last summer and spent time in the Dominican Summer League. Across 51 contests, Made posted a .331/.458/.554 slash line with nine doubles and six home runs. Made is currently ranked as the No. 53 prospect in the sport on MLB.com and could continue to rise as he progresses through the lower levels of the minor leagues.

Christian Yelich Out Against Tough Lefty

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is taking a seat for Monday's series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers at American Family Field with left-hander Tarik Skubal on the mound. Yelich will get a day of rest after starting each of the team's last 10 games. Isaac Collins will serve as the team's designated hitter on Monday night and will bat second against Skubal. Coming off offseason back surgery, Yelich does have three home runs in his first 16 games, but he's also hitting only .143 (8-for-56) in the early going with a double, 10 RBI, eight walks and 16 strikeouts in 65 plate appearances. Fantasy managers shouldn't start panicking yet, but he's been a disappointment after a very strong start in 2024. Collins is in a prime spot in the batting order but will be avoided by most DFS gamers against Skubal. The switch-hitter has gone 5-for-21 with no homers, two runs and two stolen bases so far this year.

Quinn Priester To Make Another Start On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester will make another start for the Brewers and is lined up to pitch on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Jack Flaherty at American Family Field. To keep Priester in the starting rotation for another turn, the Brewers are moving Elvin Rodriguez to the bullpen. The 24-year-old Priester was acquired in a trade from the Boston Red Sox last week and looked good in his debut with Milwaukee last week against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, allowing one earned run on six hits while walking two and striking out fur in five innings pitched. He'll have a bit more of a difficult matchup this time around in Detroit, but Priester is still worth streaming considering in deeper leagues. When both Tobias Myers (oblique) and Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) return from the injured list, Priester might not have a spot left in the rotation, though.

William Contreras Crushes Third Homer Of The Season

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras connected on a two-run home run in the first inning off of Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen, but the Brew Crew dropped the series finale in Arizona by a score of 5-2. Contreras went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the defeat and is now hitting .222 (12-for-54) with a pair of doubles, three home runs, and a .329 wOBA through his first 15 games. The 27-year-old catcher is one of the most reliable bats at the position, although his hard-hit rate and barrel rate have dipped in the early part of the season. Hopefully, Sunday's home run is the start of a turnaround in that trend. After a 3-3 road trip last week, Contreras and the Brewers are back home to start this week with a three-game series against the Tigers that begins on Monday night in Milwaukee.

Brandon Woodruff Strikes Out Five During Rehab Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) made his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. This was the first time that Woodruff has been on the mound since having shoulder surgery last year. He tossed 3 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs, and striking out five batters. He threw 66 pitches and 44 of them for strikes as he topped out at 95.1 mph on his fastball. The 32-year-old will likely still need to make a few more rehab appearances before rejoining the Brewers rotation. The hope is that Woodruff can return to the big league rotation by the end of April or early May.

Tobias Myers To Make Rehab Start On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers (oblique) will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Myers is currently working his way back from an oblique strain, but he appears to be progressing well. He threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings during his first rehab outing. The expectation is that Myers will probably need one more rehab start after Sunday's game. That means, Myers should be back in the Brewers rotation by the end of April or early May. Until then, Quinn Priester figures to remain in the starting rotation.

Aaron Civale Suffers Setback

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Aaron Civale (hamstring) has reportedly suffered a setback in his recovery process. The right-hander is currently working his way back from a strained hamstring. He resumed throwing recently, but now it's unclear if the team will shut him down for a bit. The team hasn't given much information on the setback, so more information should be known in a few days. The absence of Civale likely means Quinn Priester will probably stick in the starting rotation a little longer.

Brandon Woodruff To Make Rehab Start On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is set to make his first rehab start at Triple-A Nashville on Friday. Woodruff hasn't pitched in an MLB game since 2023, but is finally nearing his return to the big league mound. The plan is for Woodruff to work four innings and throw around 65 pitches on Saturday. The expectation is that Woodruff will need two or three more outings before joining the big league staff. His timetable appears to be the end of April or early May. Fantasy managers shouldn't rush to the waiver wire to add Woodruff. He hasn't thrown a big league pitch in quite some time, so might want to take a wait-and-see approach here.

Jose Quintana • SP • Brewers

Jose Quintana Making His Season Debut Against Arizona

Milwaukee Brewers veteran left-hander Jose Quintana has been recalled from the rookie Arizona Complex League on Friday and will make his first start of the season in the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg. It will be Quintana's 20th start against the D-backs since the 2017 season. The 36-year-old veteran southpaw spent extra time building up in the minors to begin the year since he didn't sign with Milwaukee until after spring training started in early March. He will help the Brew Crew get by early in the year due to several starting-pitching injuries, but fantasy managers should view him as a low-upside innings-eater in NL-only leagues, at best. The 13-year MLB vet had a 3.75 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with a 135:63 K:BB in 31 starts for the New York Mets in 2024.

Jacob Misiorowski • SP • Brewers

Jacob Misiorowski Strikes Out Five Over Five Innings Of One-Run Ball

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski struck out five batters across five innings of one-run ball on Thursday evening. The right-hander allowed just two hits. However, he continued to struggle with his command as he served up three free passes. Through his first three starts of the Triple-A regular season, Misiorowski has held a stellar 0.66 ERA. However, his command his been a weakness as he held an underwhelming 10:16 BB:K while allowing just three total hits. Misiorowski spent most of the 2024 season at Double-A, where he held a 3.50 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP across 79 2/3 innings of work. He then earned a brief taste of Triple-A, where he posted a 2.55 ERA with a stellar 0.85 WHIP in 17 2/3 innings. Given the number of injuries in the Milwaukee rotation, Misiorowski could be nearing his MLB debut.

Garrett Mitchell Still In Search Of First Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell went 0-for-2 with a walk before being lifted for a pinch hitter on Thursday afternoon in Colorado. Mitchell left Coors Field still looking for his first long ball of the season after going 2-for-8 for the series with his first stolen base of the season. The 26-year-old lefty is hitting .258 (8-for-31) with two doubles, four walks, a .065 ISO, and a .317 wOBA. He has been platooning with Isaac Collins, which has limited his chances, but he has a 45.5% hard-hit rate and .341 xwOBA, which indicates some positive regression could be around the corner for him as the Brewers continue their road trip with a stop in Arizona to face the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Quinn Priester Posts No-Decision In Team Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Quinn Priester looked solid on the mound during his team debut against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. The right-hander was recently traded to Milwaukee from the Boston Red Sox earlier this week. The Brewers are a bit banged up in the starting rotation, so they could use Priester right now. He looked good as he tossed five innings, allowing five hits, one earned run, and striking out four batters in the no-decision. Priester really didn't give up any damage outside of a leadoff solo home run in the opening frame. He's unlikely to stick in the rotation long term, but figures to make at least another start. If he does, Priester would be in line to face the Detroit Tigers early next week. He could offer some low-end streaming value in that start.
