Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers are still attempting to secure a spot in the 2022 Major League Baseball postseason, but this afternoon the focus turned to minor league action. With the Arizona Fall League rosters being unveiled, Milwaukee fans found out who would be representing the Brewers in Glendale.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced today that they have placed catcher Omar Narvaez on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain. Mario Feliciano was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take his place.

The Brewers feature some of the best professional baseball players in the world. They've spent seasons perfecting their craft in front of fans eyes, but sometimes baseball involves luck as much as it does skill. So what do the numbers say about the Brewers luck this season?

The Brewers are clinging to a slim division lead and the Giants are trying to keep from becoming sellers as July turns to August. This four-game series has the ingredients for some potentially pivotal mid-season theatrics.

The 2022 MLB Amateur Draft is just on the horizon, beginning on July 17th. Looking back at the late round gems of past Brewer drafts, one current Brewer stands out. So do a couple of unsigned draftees.

Prior to yesterday’s action the Milwaukee Brewers made seven different roster moves. Shuffling players following their trade deadline activity, activations, releases, and options were all a part of the day’s work. Most notably, Freddy Peralta was activated from the 60-day injured list.

Prior to Wednesday’s game the Milwaukee Brewers made a handful of pitching moves. Jake Cousins was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Trevor Kelley joined him there, and J.C. Mejia cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A. Taking a spot on the active roster, Adrian Houser was activated from the injured list.

Prior to their game yesterday the Milwaukee Brewers sent third baseman Mike Brosseau to the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. Taking his place on the active roster was Pablo Reyes, who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

Over the weekend Milwaukee made a handful of transactions that impacted the Major League roster. Starter Freddy Peralta was placed back on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, and he was joined by Eric Lauer, who’s dealing with left elbow inflammation. Trevor Kelley was recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

Jace Peterson has been around for a while. He’s a former top prospect who never truly panned out, and didn’t have a real home until he landed in Milwaukee. Now that he’s here though, Peterson has made himself more than comfortable.

It’s time to overreact. Who says no? Sure the Brewers have only played six games since the All-Star break, but we’d be lying to ourselves if we said those six games didn’t look promising.

It’s been argued in this space before that the Milwaukee Brewers were asking too much of their pitching staff to repeat its high water mark 2021 season, which yielded Corbin Burnes a Cy Young Award and Josh Hader (another) Trevor Hoffman Award. A look at the numbers shows that to not only be the case, but that, save for a sudden change in performance, the Brewers’ vaunted pitching staff will be one of the reasons why they may well be on the outside looking in on October baseball.
