Brewers Video
Transactions:
LHP Clayton Andrews placed on Nashville's 7-day injured list (injury not revealed)
C Brian Navarreto transferred from ACL Brewers Blue roster to Nashville (paper move, as Navaretto was likely with the team since spring training camp broke and was needed after the Brett Sullivan departure)
RHP's Moises Gomez, Matt Hardy, and J.T. Hintzen were placed on the Nashville "Development List" - this could mean they are still in Maryvale or are on a taxi squad of sorts and are with the AAA club

Final: Durham (Rays) 9, Nashville 4
Via the Sounds' site, game details:
Singleton Homers Again but Sounds Fall to Bulls - Nashville First Baseman has Homered in Both Games of 2022
Among those making their 2022 debuts - 2B Mark Mathias (2-for-4), 3B Andruw Monasterio, and the entire starting outfield - LF Dustin Peterson, CF Jonathan Davis (on base three times), and RF Garrett Whitley (single, HBP). So all the Sounds but the newly-activated Navarreto have now seen action.
Except for the fifth pitcher of the night RHP Peter Strzelecki, no ERA's went unscathed. The middle relief crew didn't have each others' backs as all three runners inherited scored.

Very good video highlight report via WXXV on Biloxi's exhibition game against William Carey University, and the NAIA school more than held their own against the pros.
Jeff Haeger of WXXV does a nice job on the Shuckers beat, as evidenced in his video report earlier in the day:

I know which section of the Media Guide I normally flock to each year, and that's the Minor League pages, and we're left with disappointment this year.
The Brewers have scrubbed the injury histories from each player write-up. Each spring, we would collect all the notations from the guide, and those updates would fill in the gaps as to why players missed time during the prior season, or would even tell us what surgeries they may have had in the just-ended offseason.
Now, we are left to wonder when players are missing in action.
We had wondered each year (wondered out loud, perhaps we shouldn't have done that), as to why the Brewers (thankfully for us at the time) would be so up-front with surgery/injury details, listing specific dates and surgeons. Why be so tight-lipped during the season - unless an injury is clearly an on-field incident with video and such, you'll never see the organization or the affiliate announcers acknowledge the specifics of an injury.
Heck, this is how we learned of LHP Antoine Kelly's Thoracic Outlet Surgery in November of 2020.
We get it - HIPPA and all, but it leaves us guessing moving forward.
