Brewers Decline William Contreras' 2026 Option

The Milwaukee Brewers declined catcher William Contreras' $12 million option for the 2026 season, but he will remain with the team next year and go into his second year of salary arbitration, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 27-year-old Venezuelan backstop remains under team control through the 2027 season, but he will receive a $100,000 buyout after Milwaukee declined his 2026 option. After making his second All-Star team in 2024, Contreras took a step back in 2025, although it may have had to do mostly with the fact that he played through a left middle-finger injury that required offseason surgery. He was still an above-average-hitting catcher in the big leagues with his .260/.355/.399 slash line, .754 OPS, 17 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, and six steals in 150 games played for the Brew Crew. With better health, Contreras could bounce back in 2026. He has at least 17 homers in each of his last four years, making him a high-end fantasy catching target.

William Contreras Could Need Finger Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (finger) will visit with a hand specialist next week for a "potential correction" of his fractured left middle finger, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Contreras suffered a fractured finger way back in May but played through the injury. The 27-year-old Venezuelan backstop took a slight step back offensively in 2025, and it was likely due to his fractured finger. In 150 games played for the first-place Brewers, he hit .260/.355/.399 with a .754 OPS, 17 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, and six stolen bases in his 659 plate appearances. Contreras was still one of the better-hitting catchers in the league, but he wasn't as good as his 23-homer season in 2024. Even if Contreras needs to have his injured finger fixed via surgery this offseason, he should be ready to go for Opening Day in 2026.

William Contreras Returning on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Contreras is playing again after being removed from Saturday's game after getting hit on the wrist by a swing. As a precaution, Contreras sat out of Sunday's contest. Luckily, it was only a hand bruise, so Contreras will only miss one game. He'll cover behind the plate and bat cleanup versus right-hander Nick Pivetta on Monday. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure they have Contreras in there.

William Contreras Sitting on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (hand) is on the bench Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Danny Jansen will fill in behind the plate and hit seventh versus left-hander Matthew Liberatore. Contreras left the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday after he was struck in the hand on a swing on a catcher's interference. X-rays came back negative after the game, though, and Contreras told manager Pat Murphy that he'd be able to play Sunday. Murphy is understandably playing it safe with Contreras, one of the Brewers' most valuable players, as the postseason approaches. In yet another productive campaign, the 27-year-old has slashed .265/.360/.407 with 17 homers, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, and six stolen bases across 147 games and 647 plate appearances.

William Contreras Exits With Hand Injury, X-Rays Negative

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (hand) left a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday with an apparent hand injury, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Contreras took a swing off the hand on a catcher's interference in the seventh inning, and the Brewers replaced him with backup Danny Jansen in the eighth. X-rays came back negative after the game, and Contreras told manager Pat Murphy that he wants to play Sunday. Contreras, who went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk on Saturday, is slashing .265/.360/.407 with 17 homers, 76 RBI, and 89 runs scored in 147 games and 647 plate appearances. The two-time All-Star is among the playoff-bound Brewers' most important players, and fortunately, it appears he escaped a serious injury.

William Contreras Back Behind the Plate for Brew Crew

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (forearm) is back behind the plate on Friday to catch right-hander Quinn Priester and will hit cleanup in the series opener against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Andre Pallante at American Family Field. Contreras was hit by a pitch on his forearm on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers and was held out as a precaution on Wednesday before a team day off on Thursday. The 27-year-old backstop is now in there and will face Priester, whom he is hitting .167 against with an RBI in just six career at-bats. The Venezuelan catcher hasn't been as good as he was last year, but he should be returned to starting fantasy lineups for the weekend. Contreras has looked good so far in September, going 10-for-30 with a double, two RBI, and seven runs scored in eight games.

William Contreras Will Be Evaluated Friday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (forearm) was originally in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers but was scratched due to a forearm contusion. He suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday and will get two days off since the Brew Crew has a scheduled off-day on Thursday. He'll be re-evaluated on Friday before the team opens its next series against the Cardinals at home on Friday night. Contreras has hit .263 with 17 homers and a .337 wOBA in his 140 games this season and is almost always in the lineup. Hopefully, he'll be able to get back in the mix for the weekend, but keep an eye on the injury to make sure it checks out to be as minor as it appears to be at this point.

William Contreras Homers Twice on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras gave his team a big lift during Sunday's game against the New York Mets. He got his team's scoring started with a solo home run off left-hander Sean Manaea in the fourth inning. Contreras continued the fun with a two-run shot off relief pitcher Reed Garrett in the following inning. He finished this game 3-for-4 at the plate with a single, two homers, and three RBI in the win. After that game, Contreras is slashing .255/.354/.389 with 12 home runs and 52 RBI on the season.

William Contreras Goes Deep in Five-Hit Night

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras led a 25-hit barrage in a 16-9 defeat of the Washington Nationals on Friday. Contreras finished 5-for-7 with a homer, two RBI, and three runs scored in a game that saw eight Brewers collect multiple hits. Contreras, now with four straight multi-hit games, has gone a sizzling 12-for-19 with three homers, five RBI, and nine runs this week. It's an encouraging hot streak for Contreras, whose numbers have declined thanks to a finger injury that has hampered him all season. The two-time All-Star has gutted it out, though, and has hit a respectable .258/.353/.380 with nine HRs, 47 RBI, 59 runs, and five stolen bases in 450 trips to the plate.

William Contreras in Danger of Missing Rest of the Season?

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (finger) is starting behind the plate and is batting third in Monday's divisional showdown against the visiting Chicago Cubs and left-hander Matthew Boyd. However, Contreras is dealing with a finger injury, and the Brewers have said that if he were to land on the injured list, it would be for season-ending surgery. Uh oh. That's not what fantasy managers want to hear, and it's why the Brewers acquired catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. A serious finger injury could help explain why the 27-year-old Venezuelan backstop has been such a disappointment in 2025. Through 368 at-bats, Contreras is slashing .242/.342/.340 with a below-average .682 OPS, six homers, 42 RBI, 50 runs and five steals. He hasn't gone deep since June 14.
