Latest news and updates about the Brewers
The Orioles had another opportunity to inch forward in the waning days of this ever-stranger American League wild-card race. All they had to do was beat the winningest team in the major leagues … and they almost did. They staged a pair of multi-run comebacks against a Milwaukee Brewers club that is on the verge […]
With the MLB regular season set to end next weekend, the NL playoff race has settled, in some ways at least. The division winners are all clear. The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers have each clinched their respective crowns and the Atlanta Braves could join them as soon as Sunday. The playoff field overall is also looking complete, as the only team still trying to make up a gap is the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are now 4.5 games out and need a miracle. That doesn’t mean there isn’t so...
Getty Images With a win over the Astros on Friday night, the Atlanta Braves have secured a spot in the 2026 Major League Baseball postseason, joining the Brewers and Dodgers on the National League side of the bracket. The Braves, under first-year manager Walt Weiss, are pulling away from the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East as well, and should wrap up the division title in the coming days. The Braves have successfully rebounded from their 86-loss campaign of 2025, and they are...

This week’s MLB Mailbag looks at Brandon Lowe’s qualifying offer candidacy and free agency, Francisco Alvarez’s trade value, the Brewers and Brandon Woodruff, and the three (so far) front office searches we know will be taking place this winter. Let’s begin! J. asks: Could the Pirates extend a Qualifying Offer to Brandon Lowe? If so, […]
NEW YORK — Nobody knows what would have happened if Jesús Luzardo had started on Friday night at Citi Field, just like nobody knows what would have happened if he had started last Saturday at Truist Park. The Phillies would’ve liked their chances, though. Come see the Phillies face the Brewers & Rays from Sept. 22-27! Even if Luzardo wasn’t on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his left shoulder, the Phillies’ offense would have needed to score. And Orion Kerkering would have needed ...
Box Score In a game full of ups and downs, the Brewers had the last laugh. Dustin May didn’t make it through the third inning and Milwaukee blew two different leads, but they still managed to pull out a win in tonight’s series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. The visiting Brewers took an early lead […]
In the final accounting of the 2026 Orioles season, there will not be a shortage of things that a person can point to as a representative explanation for why things have turned out the way that they did. Many of their losses have contained multitudes of such decisions, actions, sequences of play. They found a […]
NEW YORK — Phillies reliever Jonathan Bowlan has a “mild” right groin strain, but he will not be placed on the 15-day injured list. There is a reason for that: If Bowlan is placed on the injured list, he would be ineligible to pitch in the NL Wild Card Series. Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said on Friday afternoon at Citi Field that the team thinks Bowlan’s strain is manageable and that he could be back by Game 1 on Sept. 29. Come see the Phillies face the Brewers & Rays from Sept. 22...
The O’s are 75-78 with nine games remaining in the regular season
Clinging to ever-fainter AL wild card hopes, the Orioles are back in Baltimore to play the MLB-best Brewers over the penultimate weekend of the 2026 regular season. No big deal or anything, but the Orioles probably need to sweep this series, and definitely need to at most lose a single game, to hold on to […]
This weekend’s series in Baltimore will be the final interleague series of the year for Milwaukee. With just three three-game series left this season, the Brewers need to go 5-4 to win 100 games for the first time in franchise history. They also need to win at least two more games than the Dodgers to […]
The Baltimore Orioles on Friday recalled left-hander Cade Povich from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned right-handed reliever Codi Heuer to Norfolk. Povich will take the mound against the Milwaukee Brewers after being scratched from his scheduled Triple-A start earlier this week. The 26-year-old has moved between Norfolk and Baltimore throughout the 2026 season and has served […] The post Orioles announce 2 pitching roster moves amid Wild Card push appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Milwaukee Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski has been “The Pitcher” of the 2026 MLB season, cruising to his first National League Cy Young crown and helping his team claim the best record in the sport. But is he in fact the No. 1 hurler this year? His American League counterpart certainly has an argument for the […] The post Has Yankees’ Cam Schlittler been as good as Jacob Misiorowski this season? appeared first on ClutchPoints .
BALTIMORE—Félix Bautista was in the Orioles’ clubhouse on Friday after throwing nine games in a rehab assignment. Bautista, who was a dominant closer until he needed Tommy John surgery in 2023, returned last season but needed rotator cuff and labrum surgery in August 2025. Bautista threw one game for Double-A Chesapeake, allowing three runs while […]
The NL West crown has been secured, but the regular season grind carries on, with the next checkmark being a playoff bye, and if the Brewers stumble, maybe even the NL’s top record: the Dodgers open a series against the Giants, with the former looking like a near formality, four up on Atlanta with nine […]
The Reds have lost nine of their last 13 — all of those games against the Brewers and Dodgers, pretty tough competition. Then again, the Cubs are a pretty good team as well, and the Cubs have won seven of the first 10 games between these two teams this year. For more on the Reds, […]
Harrison's postseason rotation spot is slipping.
The Orioles backed themselves into a corner where they probably need to win every remaining game or all but one remaining game in order to make the postseason. They responded to being in that corner by sweeping the Mets, a not very good team, in a series where the Mets fans were all continually cheering […]
As we get down to the last two weeks of the MLB regular season, most of the teams have now faded from the postseason hunt in both leagues. We do have a couple of exciting division races still to be…
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Only nine games remain on the Orioles’ 2026 schedule. We’re down to single digits now. Tonight, the Orioles begin their final homestand of the season, hosting the MLB-best Brewers and the wild card-hopeful Blue Jays before finishing their year at Yankee Stadium. You’d be forgiven if you thought the Orioles’ homestand […]
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers have officially clinched the NL Central, and they’re now on the verge of clinching their first-round bye. They’re also nearing a franchise record for wins (97-65 last season) and have a realistic shot at becoming the first 100-win team in franchise history. Lots to still play for (even […]

NEW YORK — It’s difficult to imagine a successful Phillies postseason without Jesús Luzardo. He’s been their best pitcher for months. Come see the Phillies face the Brewers & Rays from Sept. 22-27! The Phils still hope that he will pitch for them in the National League Wild Card Series, beginning on Sept. 29. But it’s far from a sure thing. He’s on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his left shoulder. It’s unclear when he will throw again. It’s unclear even once he throws again, how ...
