Murphy relayed that Woodruff told him he doesn’t feel like he’s injured, that’s it’s just a dead arm situation. It sounds like a trip to the injured list could be in store for the 33-year-old hurler. Expect the Brewers to provide an update on his status after that evaluation.

Contreras got the scoring started by doubling in Garrett Mitchell in the first and just kept going from there. It’s his sixth career four-hit game. He’s currently batting .288/.363/.432 with easily the best contract numbers of his career. His strikeout rate is just 11.4 percent, down from 18.2 percent last year and 21.7 percent for his career.

Drohan came in to start the third after Brandon Woodruff left in the second and gave the Brewers both length and quality in a game in which they really only needed the former; they scored eight runs in the first four innings and wound up winning 13-1. Drohan entered the day with a 5/5 K/BB in 7 2/3 innings as a major leaguer, but he struck out four and walked none in this one. He’s one of the handful of options to step into the rotation if Woodruff lands on the IL.

Black knocked in three runs in the Brewers’ 13-2 series-opening win on Tuesday and three more today in a 13-1 game, giving him six RBI in five games (four starts) since his callup last week. He’s not a home run guy with his weak exit velocity numbers, but his ability to steal bases as a corner infielder would make him interesting with regular playing time. It just doesn’t figure to happen unless the Brewers continue getting beat up by injuries.

He’d allowed one hit and struck out two before leaving. Woodruff showed an alarming amount of diminished velocity, with his four-seamer averaging just 85.4 mph while topping out at 86.9 mph. Manager Pat Murphy said that Woodruff wasn’t feeling any pain, but that getting him out of the game felt like the right move. If this dead arm sort of issue leads to an IL stint, hopefully it won’t be a long one.

He’s started just three of Milwaukee’s last six games while David Hamilton has appeared to take a step over him on the depth chart. Luis Rengifo is starting at third today while Hamilton slides over to short. Ortiz is hitting .197/.284/.197 on the season with four stolen bases. He is 4-for-29 over his last 15 games.

Turang just keeps on chugging along. Two more doubles here gives him 13 extra-base hits on the season and somehow looks like a certified power hitter at this point. He’s further improved on his much improved batted ball metrics from last year and has the profile of someone that could wind up as the number one second baseman by season’s end.

Recently, it’s felt like Sproat was getting over the hump. He’d pitched into the sixth inning in consecutive starts and allowed just four runs in the process. Then, he struck out the first four batters he faced in this game and the excitement grew. Just as it began to seem real, the wheels fell off in the fourth inning. Adrian Del Castillo golfed a sinker for a solo home run with one out and three batters later Nolan Arenado hit a three-run shot on nearly the same pitch, but from the perspective of a right-handed batter. He only threw seven sinkers all game, and two left the yard. Well, he’s lined up for a two-start week coming up against the Cardinals and Yankees.

Chourio will require a few additional tune-up contests in the minors to get back up to speed before making his season debut in early May. The 22-year-old fantasy superstar has been working his way back from a fractured hand that he suffered late in spring training.

Vaughn will get a couple rehab games under his belt before returning to Milwaukee’s lineup in early May. The 28-year-old underwent surgery to repair a hamate fracture last month.

Fitzpatrick receives his first call up after reeling off 10 1/3 scoreless innings with an 11/2 K/BB ratio for Triple-A Nashville this season. The 25-year-old lefty was a 10th-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots initially for Milwaukee.

Zerpa has been hit hard in his Brewers debut, struggling to an inflated 6.39 ERA and 8/6 K/BB ratio over 12 2/3 innings of work. The 26-year-old lefty came over from the Royals in the Isaac Collins trade last offseason. He’ll likely miss a couple weeks before rejoining Milwaukee’s low-leverage mix.

It’s a tad surprising Matos went unclaimed on waivers given his former top prospect status. The 24-year-old outfielder went 4-for-20 during a nine-game stint with the Brewers before being designated for assignment last week.

Contreras also drew a walk, and he scored two runs. He was in a middle of a 1-for-13 funk prior to Tuesday’s game, but the three-reach contest sees his slash improve to .272/.348/.388. Assuming good health, Contreras is essentially a lock to finish as one of the top fantasy catching options in 2026.

Frelick also singled and walked, and he scored three runs in the process. The 26-year-old was due for a game like this, as he’s slashed just .217/.323/.313 even with the homer and three-reach game. It’s hard to imagine him not being considerably better over the summer months.

Black singled home two runs in the fifth, and added a third with a run-scoring single an inning later. The 25-year-old added another single to improve his slash to .385/.385/.462 over his 13 at-bats. Black still offers some long-term appeal, but he’s not likely to be an option for Milwaukee after some of their injured stalwart return.

Patrick was able to strike out five, but he was very fortunate to only allow the two runs considering he walked five batters before exiting. All things considered, it’s a respectable outing, and he could have been much worse with the Brewers putting up two touchdowns worth of runs behind him. Patrick has been mostly solid in 2026 as seen in his 2.57 ERA, and he’ll look to have similar results — with more strikes — against the Nationals on Sunday.

Mitchell gets an opportunity atop Milwaukee’s lineup to face Arizona veteran starter Merrill Kelly, who has been hit hard in a couple outings this season. Brice Turang is back in the third spot after leading off five of the last six contests. The 27-year-old speedster has been scuffling at the dish recently, but this feels like a nice spot for him to turn things around. He’s always going to strike out a bit more than fantasy managers want to see, but Mitchell is an exciting power/speed combo talent.

Fans of the Sounds will get a chance to see both Vaughn and Jackson Chourio (hand) in the lineup beginning Wednesday. Both will likely need a handful of games before being ready to return, but two of the more important hitters in the Milwaukee lineup have a chance to be back with the Brewers relatively early in May.

Chourio will likely play a handful of games with the Sounds. The 22-year-old has a great chance to get back into the lineup early next week, and his power/speed combination will be a welcome return for both the Brew Crew and fantasy managers.

The scoreless innings are great, but Priester also threw just 18 of his 45 pitches for strikes, which is a 40 percent strike rate. On top of that, his cutter averaged 88.7 mph, which is 3.6 mph below his normal velocity. His sinker was also 2.3 mph below his normal mark, and he only threw five of them on the day, none for strikes. There still seems to be a long way to go here. We would not be stashing Priester in fantasy leagues unless you have lots of IL spots.

Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe all struck out two in their innings of work, so it was an 18-strikeout, two-hitter for the Brewers. Harrison, who missed a turn 10 days ago and then got just nine outs Tuesday against the Pirates, induced 23 whiffs and allowed just two hard-hit balls in the best outing of his young career. He’s definitely worth rostering in mixed leagues and worth having active for his start against the Nationals next weekend.

In what seems to be their preferred alignment at the moment, the Brewers against went with Trevor Megill in the seventh, Aaron Ashby in the eighth and Uribe in the ninth. All got through scoreless frames, but Megill and Ashby both allowed two baserunners. Uribe, who struck out two, had the best day of the group, adding a little to his stock.

He doubled his season total for doubles today. Bauers last doubled twice in a game on June 18, 2023. He’s a solid mixed-league option for the short term with Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich out for Milwaukee.

Misiorowski threw a whopping 39 pitches over 100 mph while picking up 20 swings-and-misses on 91 overall offerings. He also issued only one walk, and while he did allow six hits, it’s worth noting that only four balls put into play registered as hard hits. Misiorowski looked the part Saturday, and it’s pretty easy to imagine double-digit strikeouts versus the Nationals on Friday.

Despite very diminished velocity, Woodruff still acts like a power pitcher out there. In the first inning, he only threw four-seam fastballs. Yet, they sat near 91 mph. It was only those fastballs and a smattering of sinkers during his first trip around the Pirates’ order. The only problem was that he didn’t have his best command here. So, mixing up lots of low-90s fastballs that mostly wound up in the heart of the zone did not yield good results. His velocity did tick up as the game wore on, so there’s no cause for alarm with his slow start. Also, it’s worth noting that this was the third time in five starts so far this season where he was pulled before reaching 75 pitches. He wasn’t pitching particularly poorly in any of those either, so it may just be a maneuver by the Brewers to manage his workload. He’s scheduled to face the Diamondbacks next time out.

The 28-year-old slugger has a follow-up appointment scheduled on Tuesday where he’s hopeful to gain clearance to begin a minor league rehab assignment. It sounds like he’s ahead of schedule in his recovery and the Brewers are hopeful that he’ll be able to return in mid-May. He could be worth a stash in any deeper mixed leagues where he may have been dropped.

If you’re going to have to get a day off, doing so against Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes isn’t the worst thing that could happen to you. Tyler Black will start in his place as the Brewers designated hitter on Friday evening and will bat cleanup.

He lasted six days on the roster, throwing two innings in two separate appearances on April 19 and April 22 while allowing just one earned run. Rodriguez will undoubtedly be back soon, but optionable relievers do tend to be optioned out in 2026.

Drohan resurfaces with a 3.29 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings with the Sounds. His initial taste of MLB earlier in April left him with a career 10.13 ERA and he’ll attempt to shave that down in his next outing.
