2026 Brewers Minor League Roundup: Week 17

Welcome back to the Minor League Roundup! None of the Brewers’ minor league affiliates played more than three games this week because of the All-Star break, so this week’s roundup is going to look a little different. Rather than breaking down each affiliate individually, I’ve grouped together this week’s standout performances to highlight everything that […]

Brewers rough up Peralta in his return, take over league’s best record

Box Score It was a night of returns at American Family Field.

A day after a dramatic walk-off sweep of the Marlins, the Brewers welcome another National League East opponent to Milwaukee today — and they’ll see a familiar face on the mound, as Freddy Peralta returns to the mound at American Family Field for the first time in a different uniform. Peralta isn’t the only story […]

Breaking T releases “William Contreras: Stay Wild” shirt

We’re back with a new Breaking T shirt, featuring another signature moment from Milwaukee’s backstop.

2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 17

Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week There was a lot of solid pitching from the staff.

William Contreras walks off Marlins as Brewers secure sweep

Box Score For most of this game, Milwaukee’s offense looked lifeless, but it didn’t end up mattering — William Contreras’ ninth-inning heroics helped the Brewers complete a sweep of the Marlins to open the second half. Brewers starter Robert Gasser bounced back nicely after his last start, allowing just three hits and one run — […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (61-37) vs. Miami Marlins (52-47)

The Brewers have come out strong to start the second half, winning each of their first two games against the Miami Marlins.

Brewers run wild over Marlins in 8-6 victory

Box Score On a day that started with so much bad news — Sal Frelick going on the IL, Brandon Woodruff needing surgery, and Brice Turang getting scratched — the Brewers still continue to plug along and win ballgames as they secured an 8-6 win over the Miami Marlins. Shane Drohan was excellent once more, […]

Brandon Woodruff needs another surgery following latest injury

It’s not the end just yet for Brandon Woodruff. But his 2026 season is over. Woodruff last pitched on the 4th of July, when he had to exit the game in the fourth inning due to renewed shoulder discomfort. He had missed six weeks earlier in the season with a shoulder issue that led to […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (59-37) vs. Miami Marlins (52-45)

Baseball is back again. After a four-day reprieve with the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Brewers have a game to play. They begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. The Brewers made a couple of moves during the break to shuffle the roster a little. Lance McCullers Jr. was acquired from […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 7/17-7/23

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The unofficial first half of the season is officially in the rearview, as the Brewers will kick off their post-All-Star break slate tonight in Milwaukee. At 59-37 this year, the Brewers sit ahead of the Cubs by five games in the NL Central and currently hold the second-best record in […]

Why the Brewers targeted Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon

The Milwaukee Brewers are, for better or worse, a hard team to predict when it comes to trades and the trade deadline. President of Baseball Operations Matt Arnold can get very creative at times with his deals and pull some names that almost no one was expecting. Enter Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon. McCullers […]

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Miami Marlins

The Milwaukee Brewers are back in action this weekend, as they’ll host the Miami Marlins to open up the second half of the season. Milwaukee, who limped into the break with a sweep at the hands of the Pirates in Pittsburgh, still sits atop the NL Central, with a five-game lead over the Cubs. They […]

Milwaukee Brewers’ 2027 schedule released

Note: All of this is subject to change, as the league is undergoing labor talks with the MLBPA. Those talks have already been contentious and are expected to continue through the offseason, with a realistic chance of a lockout to begin the 2027 season. Major League Baseball today released the regular-season schedule for 2027. After […]

Brewers trade deadline primer, part three: Starting pitcher targets

Note: This piece was written before the Brewers traded for Lance McCullers Jr. on Wednesday. Ultimately, I don’t believe the Brewers are putting much stock in the oft-injured and otherwise ineffective McCullers as a person to do much besides eat a few innings, so I don’t think that trade materially changes any approach that I […]

A look at the Brewers’ use of ABS challenges

At the start of the season, the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system was officially implemented into MLB games. This uses a full automated system based on Statcast data to challenge certain calls made by umpires. Now that we’re at the All-Star break, we have more than half a season of data to analyze about how […]
