Hamilton victimized Rockies’ closer Victor Vodnik in the second inning, crushing a 431-foot (107.3 mph EV) three-run shot that gave the Brewers an early lead that they’d never relinquish. He also plated a run with a groundout in the fifth inning that increased the Brewers’ edge to 7-2. Hamilton is having a solid spring overall at the plate, hitting .265 (9-for-34) with a homer, seven RBI and four stolen bases. He’s expected to function in a utility role for the Brewers, but could be an interesting late-round speed option in deeper leagues if he finds his way into regular at-bats.

The 23-year-old right-hander scattered four hits and a pair of walks in the contest. The damage done against him all came in the first inning on an RBI single by Jordan Beck and a sacrifice fly by TJ Rumfield. He settled in nicely after that and blanked the Rockies over his final three innings. Misiorowski got 10 whiffs on 70 pitches on the day — six of those on his curveball — while posting a CSW of 29 percent. His velocity was still a bit down in this one, averaging 97.6 mph on his heater (-1.7 mph), though it doesn’t feel like there’s reason for concern. He now holds a 3.68 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 12/3 K/BB ratio across 7 1/3 innings on the spring.

Turang singled in the fourth inning but was left stranded at first base. He then delivered an RBI single off of Phillippe Aumont in the sixth inning that extended Team USA’s lead to 4-0. The 26-year-old infielder also worked a walk in the ninth inning before being erased on a double play. Turang is having an exceptional tournament at the plate, hitting .467.

Vaughn led off the second inning with a single but was doubled off of first on a line drive. He then smacked a run-scoring double off of Brooks Kriske in the sixth inning that trimmed the Brewers’ deficit to five runs at 7-2. The 27-year-old slugger has picked up this spring right where he left off during his strong second half with the Brewers in 2025, hitting .400 (12-for-30) with a pair of long balls and six RBI.

The 24-year-old southpaw punched out four batters on the day while allowing one base on balls. Harrison navigated a scoreless first inning and recorded the first two outs of the second before surrendering three straight hits — culminating in a two-run blast by Chad Wallach. He then gave up four hits and a walk during a three-run rally in the third inning. Harrison got nine whiffs on 66 pitches on the afternoon, registering a CSW of 27 percent. The door is open for him to seize a spot in the Brewers’ rotation, but Harrison has stumbled to a 9.00 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 7 innings on the spring despite a strong 12/3 K/BB ratio.

The veteran was encouraged by being able to throw four “ups,” and he felt like this stuff performed close to how he wanted to, but he admitted that his status for Opening Day is still “up in the air.” His “main goal is the end of the year,” so he and the Brewers will not push for him to be on the mound to start the season if he’s not clearly ready to do so. With Quinn Priester (nerve issue) likely starting the season on the IL, that could mean there are three rotation spots for Kyle Harrison, Logan Henderson (elbow), Robert Gasser, Brandon Sproat, DL Hall, Aaron Ashby, and Shane Drohan to fight for. Woodruff also mentioned that he may need to pitch on six days’ rest throughout the season, which means the team may need to use spot starters throughout the year to keep him on schedule.

Generally, players do not often return on the optimistic timeline, which means we could be looking at mid-May or later for Priester. However, this whole situation is a bit murky since we know that he is dealing with a nerve issue that’s “in the T.O.S. [thoracic outlet syndrome] family,” but we have little other information. It’s best to avoid him in redraft fantasy leagues right now.

Henderson has been shut down due to elbow soreness, which is a concern since elbow inflammation ended his season last year. As of now, it appears Henderson is feeling good and could even pitch in a Cactus League game this weekend. It remains to be seen if that will be enough time for him to be considered for the fifth spot in the Brewers’ rotation.

The run was a product of a walk, a wild pitch and a single in the first. Hall ended up with a nice 44% CSW in the 34-pitch outing. Unlike Aaron Ashby, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be stretched out enough to open the season at the back of the rotation, but he should make the Brewers as a middle reliever.

It’s hard to know exactly what to make of that. While you never want to hear thoracic outlet syndrome, Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy told reporters on Thursday that the issue should be treatable without surgery. He also noted that Priester threw lightly on Thursday and has a bullpen session scheduled for March 21. It’s a near lock that he’ll open the season on the injured list, but it’s anyone’s guess at this point on when he may be able to rejoin the Brewers’ rotation.

Gasser struck out four and didn’t issue a walk, but he surrendered three home runs in this one, leaving him with an inflated 9.95 ERA across three starts this spring. The 26-year-old lefty remains in the mix for the final spot in Milwaukee’s season-opening rotation but could wind up pitching out of the bullpen in a swingman-type role if the club elects to go with Brandon Sproat over him.

That likely means Henderson, who has been shut down with elbow soreness since late February, will throw primarily fastballs in a non-max effort session. The hope is that he will begin a “return to game progression” on March 15th. That almost assuredly means he will not be ready to start the season. Considering Henderson also dealt with elbow inflammation at the end of last season, there is some cause for concern around his health. He also has to compete with Kyle Harrison, Robert Gasser, and Brandon Sproat for innings in Milwaukee’s rotation, which makes Henderson a player we’d avoid right now in redraft leagues.

The Brewers and Priester still have no answers for why he is experiencing soreness in his right wrist. We know that he’s had MRIs on his wrist, shoulder, and elbow, but none of those have seemingly produced any answer, so he will seek another opinion. Having to see a specialist is usually never a great sign for a player’s health, but we’ll wait to see what comes of the visit. It’s looking like Kyle Harrison has a good shot to start the season in the Brewers’ rotation.

Williams, who came over from the Mets in the Freddy Peralta trade, has been out since February 23rd, when he injured his quad running out a triple. He was never likely to break camp with the Brewers, but he could be an option at shortstop of third base by the middle of the season.

Peralta will open the regular season back at Triple-A after being claimed off waivers from the Angels last October. The 27-year-old lefty posted a serviceable 5.12 ERA (5.05 xERA), 1.71 WHIP and 37/24 K/BB ratio across 45 2/3 innings in the majors since 2023.

Bauers worked Emmet Sheehan for a two-out walk in the opening inning of this one, but he was left stranded there. He reached on another walk in the third inning and was the back end of a double steal with Luis Rengifo. Bauers then victimized River Ryan in the fifth inning, blasting a 390-foot (105.0 mph EV) solo shot that gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead. He has been having a terrific spring at the plate, slashing .529/.667/1.176 with three homers, nine RBI and three stolen bases in seven Cactus League contests. Don’t be surprised if he sees regular at-bats against right-handed pitching to start the season.

As a team, the Brewers were running wild in this one, racking up six stolen bases in total with Rengifo and David Hamilton each stealing a pair. For the spring, the versatile 29-year-old is hitting .250 (5-for-20) with a home run, three RBI and two stolen bases in his first seven games.

On the plus side, Ashby piled up four strikeouts on the afternoon, though he also issued a pair of walks. Despite the parade of baserunners against him, the only run charged to Ashby in this one came on an RBI single by Dalton Rushing in the third inning — the final hitter that he faced. The 27-year-old southpaw got four swings and misses on 50 pitches in the ballgame, registering a strong CSW of 38 percent. The expectation remains that he’ll pitch out of the Brewers’ bullpen to open the 2026 campaign.

The 24-year-old hurler missed time during the second half of the 2025 season due to inflammation in his elbow, so this is certainly a situation that fantasy mangers should be monitoring even after Henderson reported feeling improvement on Monday. He has been rising up fantasy draft boards in recent weeks, so perhaps this injury news will slow that trend.

Rodriguez struck out four and issued two walks. The 24-year-old righty made four relief appearances for the Brewers last season and is likely ticketed for Triple-A Nashville to open the regular season. Milwaukee has one of the deepest pitching staffs in the game which means his most likely path would be in a swingman type role at the highest level.

Misiorowski came out of the bullpen and hit triple-digits on three occasions in the abbreviated outing. Milwaukee has deliberately slow-played the 23-year-old flamethrower’s ramp-up this spring, but he still appears on track to open the season in the Brewers’ rotation. There’s plenty to like from a fantasy standpoint, particularly if the command gains he showed last year continue to hold. When a pitcher pairs that level of velocity with improving control, the conversation starts to change — and suddenly the ceiling begins to resemble something closer to top-of-the-rotation territory.

Harrison continues to look like a pitcher rediscovering himself this spring. The 24-year-old former top pitching prospect tossed three innings against Great Britain in an exhibition earlier this week, unveiling a brand-new kick changeup as part of an evolving arsenal. The early returns have been encouraging: Harrison averaged a healthy 95.3 mph on his four-seam fastball and generated 10 swinging strikes in his latest outing, a profile that suddenly looks much more dynamic inside Milwaukee’s player development ecosystem. If the spring indicators hold, Harrison profiles as exactly the type of late-round speculative pick fantasy managers covet.

Fischer, the Brewers’ first-round pick last year, didn’t play in Italy’s opener against Brazil, but he thrived today. Great Britain took a two-run lead in the first after Nate Eaton double and a Jazz Chisholm Jr. single before back-to-back homers from Fischer and J.J. D’Orazio tied it in the third. Fischer then gave Italy the lead with an RBI single in the fourth. Great Britain tried to make a game of it late, scoring twice in the eighth to make it 7-4 and loading the bases in the ninth, but Greg Weissert was able to pitch out of the jam and pick up the save.

Chourio was hit in the wrist Wednesday and the outfielder was unable to play Friday or Saturday with the contusion. The 21-year-old should be good to go in the contest against Nicaragua, and there’s no reason to think it’ll carry over into the regular season at this point.

It’s the second roundtripper of the spring for Vaughn. The infielder really impressed in his 64 games with the Brew Crew in 2025 with a .308/.375/.493 slash, and while it’s understandable to be skeptical based on his inconsistency, it’s easy to forget this was the third-overall pick in 2019. It’s very feasible — but far from a lock — that Vaughn can replicate similar numbers in 2026.

Given how little we knew about Woodruff’s spring progression as he returns from a lat strain, it was pretty encouraging that he averaged 92.0 mph with his fastball, even if that was still 1.1 mph lower than his 2025 average. The 33-year-old struck out three while giving up a pair of hits and one free pass. Woodruff looks like he’ll be ready for the start of the regular season, but fantasy managers should prepare for some precautions from the Brewers in the early portion of 2026.

There was some back-and-forth earlier this spring regarding Woodruff’s uncertain availability for Milwaukee’s season opener but it sounds like he’s on track to avoid a trip to the injured list. The 33-year-old veteran was excellent upon returning from shoulder surgery last year before a lat injury knocked him out for the postseason. There could be some workload limitations in the early portion of the year, but Woodruff appears ready to go.

After Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer as the third batter of the game, one might have guessed this one would end up mercy ruled at some point. The U.S., though, did a much better job of working the count than putting the ball in play, and while it eventually built a 7-1 lead anyway, Brazil made it a game with three runs in the sixth and kept hanging around afterwards until the ninth, when Team USA scored seven times. Team USA ended up with 10 hits and 17 walks in the game. Lucas Ramirez, an Angels prospect and the son of Manny Ramirez, homered twice for Brazil.

The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder evened the score at one run apiece as he smacked an RBI single into center in the home half of the first inning. He then swiped second base before being stranded there. Baddoo also drew a one-out walk in the seventh inning and rode home on Mike Boeve’s two-run blast. He’s hitting an impressive .353 (6-for-17) with a homer, four RBI and two stolen bases so far in spring training and could make the Brewers’ Opening Day roster in a reserve role.
