Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski dominates again, lifting the Brewers in this week’s MLB Power Rankings, while the Arizona Diamondbacks break into the top 10 on a hot stretch led by Ketel Marte.
Milwaukee defeated St. Louis 4-1 on May 25, 2026, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first thanks to Christian Yelich’s first-inning homer and a run-scoring play. The Cardinals finally pushed across a run in the sixth, but Milwaukee added a run in the sixth and another in the seventh to pull away. Starting pitchers were J. Misiorowski for the Cardinals and M. Liberatore for the Brewers, with the bullpen finishers contributing in relief.
Gavin Sheets hit a go-ahead three-run homer with two outs in the ninth, lifting the Padres to a 3-1 win over the Brewers in Milwaukee; it capped San Diego’s 13th comeback victory this season, with Mason Miller earning the save after a tense late stretch.
In Milwaukee, the Yankees led 3-2 in the 10th until reliever Tim Hill tried to force out a runner at third on Brice Turang's grounder instead of throwing to first, loading the bases and setting up a Brewers walk-off sacrifice fly by William Contreras. Aaron Judge's throw from right was offline, and Hill later admitted the decision was bad, costing New York the game in extras.
Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski dazzled in a 6-0 win over the Yankees, unleashing fastballs in the 103 mph range—the fastest by a traditional starter in modern history—and piling up 100+ mph pitches. Through eight starts, he owns a 2.45 ERA with strong strikeouts and is on a pace that could put him among Brewers single-season leaders in ERA, FIP and strikeouts, though innings limits and potential maintenance starts could temper the projections.
Milwaukee reinstated Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn from the 10-day IL; in corresponding moves, Blake Perkins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and Greg Jones was designated for assignment. Jones went 2-for-21 with a walk and nine strikeouts in 22 plate appearances. The Brewers have five days to trade, release, or place him on outright waivers; if unclaimed, he’ll be outrighted to Nashville. Chourio and Vaughn’s return should bolster an offense that’s been volatile in recent weeks.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-hander Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation after an MRI; officials say there are no structural concerns and expect a short stint. Woodruff has a history of shoulder issues and his velocity dipped to about 85 mph in his latest start. Easton McGee was recalled to help, while rookie Jacob Misiorowski starts today and Milwaukee will explore bullpen games or call-ups from the minors to fill Woodruff’s spot in the rotation.
Milwaukee placed left-hander Angel Zerpa on the 15-day injured list with left forearm tightness and selected Brian Fitzpatrick to take his roster spot, potentially giving him his MLB debut. Luis Matos was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville after clearing waivers, opening a 40-man vacancy. Fitzpatrick’s promotion helps balance a bullpen that includes four lefties; Matos remains in the organization as depth and could be re-added later if healthy.
Milwaukee placed Christian Yelich on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain and recalled Greg Jones from Triple-A Nashville to fill his spot, with Rob Zastryzny moved to the 60-day IL to free a roster slot. Yelich had been hitting .314/.375/.451 before the injury; the Brewers also have Chourio and Vaughn sidelined, and will lean on Jones’ speed and versatility to bolster bench/DH options as they shuffle the lineup.
Phil Garner, the fiery yet personable MLB star nicknamed Scrap Iron, died at 76 from pancreatic cancer in Texas. A standout second baseman who later managed the Brewers, Tigers and Astros, he led Houston to the 2005 World Series and mentored peers and managers—like Bob Melvin—with a rare blend of competitive edge and warmth.

The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly finalizing an eight-year, $50.75 million extension for 21-year-old shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt, with two club options (~$15M per year) and escalators, keeping him under team control for about a decade even if he spends time in the minors. Pratt, a Boras client who has not yet played in the majors and just debuted at Triple-A, is the rare pre-arbitration extension for a top prospect, signaling Milwaukee’s belief in his future defense and potential offensive development. The deal could affect 40-man roster moves and arbitration timing, and may influence infield planning with Turang, Ortiz, Made, Pena, and Williams, possibly shaping future trades if infield logistics change.
The Milwaukee Brewers acquired outfielder Luis Matos from the San Francisco Giants for cash considerations, designating Sammy Peralta to open a 40-man spot. Matos, a former top prospect, will compete for playing time in Milwaukee as the club navigates roster needs and potential arbitration timelines.
Milwaukee placed Jackson Chourio on the 10-day IL with a hairline fracture at the base of his left hand, with an estimated 2–4 week return; Blake Perkins was recalled to start in the outfield as the Brewers shuffle a depth-filled group that includes Frelick, Mitchell, Yelich, Bauers and Lockridge, and may lean on prospects Tyler Black or Jett Williams if more help is needed.
Milwaukee acquired right-hander Jake Woodford from Tampa Bay under an upward mobility clause in his minor-league deal, sending right-hander K.C. Hunt to the Rays and placing Akil Baddoo on the 60-day injured list to clear a 40-man spot. Woodford, who flashed earlier with St. Louis but has struggled of late, could stick on the active roster if he recovers his velocity (around 93–94 mph in spring) and form, giving Milwaukee added pitching depth; the Rays gain a depth prospect in Hunt while Milwaukee reshuffles its outfield with Chourio, Frelick and Mitchell in the mix.
