Minor Leaguers Brought Up for the Day Spring Thread

[Mass Haas]

We will use this thread to list which Brewers minor leaguers are in the big league dugout and bullpen for each spring game.

We will also provide the box score link. (Obviously, not everyone listed will see game action.)

Thanks to Mike Vassallo and the Media Relations Team for their Media Notes.

Saturday 2/25 vs. Dodgers:

Box Score

We won't necessarily be recapping the exploits of the farmhands, you'll be able to review in each box score.

But feel free to comment within the thread, especially if you were in Arizona for the action first-hand, and we'll link to any video highlights involving the youngsters that may become available.

I definitely would not have guessed "chee-AH-go" for the pronunciation of the first name of the non-roster invite RHP. And please everyone, it's FREE-lick, not FRAY-lick.

Nice to see RHP Moises Gomez back in action after taking last season off. He's still just 26 years old. And then 25-year old RHP Justin Yeager was part of the William Contreras heist. Yeager K'd 178 batters in 117.2 innings over three active minor league seasons (2019-2022) with the Braves.

Out for the day, so will tidy up and fill in later.

Notes have yet to post, but when they do, it'll be here.

Great to see these players in action, given they were injured the last we saw them:

• SS Freddy Zamora - last played May 11, 2022

• C Matt Wood - played just two ACL games, the last on August 4, 2022
• OF Micah Bello - last played June 14, 2022

• C Brent Diaz - no confirmed injury, but last played September 4, 2022
• C Jesus Garcia - no confirmed injury, but last played August 4, 2022

Gotta be an awesome experience for:

- 28-year old LHP Darrell Thompson, who’s yet to make his affiliated debut
- 25-year old RHP Kaleb “Bo” Bowman, who’s also yet to make his affiliated debut
- 19-year old OF Hendry Mendez
- 23-year old OF Je’Von Ward, who missed the 2022 season with injury

By my count, 68 players who are not on the Brewers' 40-man MLB roster have been called up to be part of MLB spring training games over the first 4 days (5 games), including non-roster invitees who are part of the MLB camp (e.g. Skye Bolt) and younger players from the Minor League camp (e.g. Hedbert Perez). I think we all agree this is Awesome to see!

Of course, it's natural to wonder which other players would normally also benefit from this honor who haven't - e.g. Are they in camp? Dealing with an injury? Here's my list:

• OF Tristen Lutz - 24 years old, .796 OPS in AA Biloxi last year
• OF Jackson Chourio - almost 19 - greatest Brewer prospect since Gary Sheffield (my opinion)
• OF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 22 - injured while playing in High-A on May 29, 2022
• OF/INF Noah Campbell - 23 - injured while playing in AA on July 29, 2022
• RHP Justin Bullock - 23 - injured while playing in High-A on August 7, 2022
• RHP Ryan Middendorf - 25 - 2.76 ERA in 29.1 IP in Low-A/High-A/AA last year
• LHP Luis Amaya - 24 - signed as MILB free agent - 3.33 ERA in 46.0 IP in High-A last year
• 1B/C Wes Clarke - 23 - .774 OPS in High-A/AA last year
• INF Ethan Murray - 22 - .644 OPS in High-A/AA last year
• 1B Ernesto Martinez - 23 - .792 OPS in High-A last year
• C Jason Lopez - almost 25 - .599 OPS in AA last year
• RHP Max Lazar - 23 - probably resting after throwing 46 innings in Australia
• RHP Arnaldo Hernandez - probably resting after Winter Ball extended to January 30

When is the official minor league report date? Is everyone in camp or are the guys playing the ones who got invited to the early minor league camp?

I’ve not seen any official announcement of the minor league camp schedule - report date, first full practice, first games, etc. A Cardinals’ news article said their own start date is March 5th.

Not sure where to put this, but I had a conversation with the Uribe today and he now prefers Brismauris.  So it’s Brismauris Uribe, previously known as Abner.
