In a 2-for-2 deal ahead of the MLB trade deadline, Cleveland acquires Blake Perkins and Craig Yoho to bolster outfield depth and bullpen options, while Milwaukee lands Bo Naylor and Codi Heuer to shore up catcher depth for the future and add bullpen depth. The Guardians earn a B grade and the Brewers a C.
The Cleveland Guardians acquired outfielder Blake Perkins and right-hander Craig Yoho from Milwaukee in exchange for catcher Bo Naylor and right-hander Codi Heuer. Perkins provides defensive versatility in the outfield (with limited offensive impact), while Yoho has pitched solidly out of Milwaukee’s bullpen this year. Milwaukee receives Naylor and Heuer, who were optioned to Triple-A. Perkins is controllable and not yet eligible for arbitration, while Yoho isn’t arb-eligible until after 2028, giving Cleveland long-term flexibility alongside a trade that fills the Guardians’ outfield need and adds bullpen depth.
Milwaukee promoted 21-year-old Luis Lara for his major league debut and optioned veteran outfielder Blake Perkins to Nashville to clear a roster spot, with left-hander Robert Gasser named as the 27th man for a doubleheader while MRI results on David Hamilton are pending. Lara has dominated Triple-A this season (.321/.432/.470) and is viewed as a speed-and-defense asset whose exact big‑league role remains to be determined amid Milwaukee’s outfield/left-side plans.
The Milwaukee Brewers scored ten runs early in the game against the Cincinnati Reds, with Blake Perkins hitting his first-career grand slam, and held on to win 10-8. The Brewers' bullpen struggled late, but Devin Williams came in to get the final outs and secure the win. Every Brewers starter except for Owen Miller had a hit in the game, and Colin Rea pitched five solid innings. The two teams will play the third game of the series on Sunday afternoon.
The Milwaukee Brewers have placed outfielder Garrett Mitchell on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation. Fellow outfielder Blake Perkins has been recalled to take his place on the active roster. Mitchell appeared to injure himself while sliding into third base during the 10th inning of last night’s game. It’s unclear how long he’ll now be out but he tells reporters that he will get an MRI tomorrow. This leaves the Brewers down two outfielders, as Tyrone Taylor has been on the IL all year due to a sprained elbow.
