Brewers reliever Abner Uribe struck out Alec Burleson in the eighth and celebrated with a DX chop that manager Pat Murphy called 'unacceptable,' prompting Uribe to apologize. Milwaukee powered to a 6-0 win over the Cardinals and sits atop the NL Central heading toward a potential three-game sweep.
Brewers reliever Abner Uribe capped a strikeout with a triple crotch chop toward the Cardinals’ dugout, drawing manager Pat Murphy’s stern rebuke as Milwaukee routed St. Louis 6-0; the moment followed tense exchanges with Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera and comes amid Uribe’s history of emotional outbursts and past suspensions.
Milwaukee placed right-hander Logan Henderson on the 15-day injured list with a low back strain retroactive to May 23 and recalled Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville to cover rotation duties as injuries to Priester and Woodruff mount, forcing the Brewers to improvise a crowded pitching staff while Henderson recovers; he owns a 2.23 ERA over 10 starts but time on the IL will delay any extended opportunity.
Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski shattered the MLB record for most pitches reaching 100 mph or more in a game, firing 57 such fastballs in seven innings of Milwaukee's 5-1 win over the Cardinals, while striking out 12 and allowing one run on two hits and one walk.
Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski has been untouchable in May, posting a 0.29 ERA over 31 1/3 innings with 49 strikeouts, 11 hits and six walks, highlighted by a six-start stretch with 8+ strikeouts and no extra-base hits. His velocity is the story: he became the first pitcher in the pitch-tracking era to throw 50 pitches at 100+ mph in a game (57 at 100+ mph, 40 over 101 mph), with his fastball averaging about 99.7 mph (up to 100.7 mph recently). He’s the fastest to 100 strikeouts in a season since Spencer Strider (2023) and is among a small group to post 100+ Ks with 50 or fewer total bases in their first 11 starts, signaling Cy Young-caliber potential.
Jacob Misiorowski struck out a career-high 12 over seven strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits as the Brewers toppled the Cardinals 5-1. Milwaukee jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a William Contreras RBI single and Christian Yelich’s fourth homer, while St. Louis finally broke through with a sixth-inning run. The Brewers added two more in the seventh, capped by Vaughn’s RBI double and an RBI single by Mitchell, then rode a bullpen trio to seal the win. Misiorowski lowered his ERA to 1.83, and the series continues with Kyle Harrison vs. Michael McGreevy.
Christian Yelich returns from a month-long groin injury to rejoin Milwaukee's lineup, with Tyler Black optioned to Triple-A Nashville as the team reshuffles. Priester will resume his rehab assignment in early June after nerve issues, and Brandon Lockridge projects a late-May/early-June return from a knee injury, as Milwaukee navigates roster spots and injury timelines.
Brewers notes: Chourio’s 2026 debut is delayed after an ankle scare with a negative X-ray; doctors will monitor progress and may keep him in Triple-A longer. Andrew Vaughn is set to be activated from the 10-day IL after hamate surgery; his bat should boost Milwaukee. Jacob Misiorowski avoided a hamstring issue and could start next Wednesday if pain-free. With Brandon Woodruff on the IL and Quinn Priester dealing with a shoulder nerve issue, Logan Henderson delivered a solid six-inning, two-run start in his latest outing, possibly earning more big-league opportunities as Milwaukee tightens its rotation and innings.
Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff was pulled in the second inning after his velocity dropped to about 85 mph from around 93, leaving him feeling dead rather than in pain; manager Pat Murphy said they’ll run tests and proceed cautiously given his shoulder history. If he misses time, Milwaukee would rely on rotation depth—Misiorowski, Harrison, Patrick, Sproat—and bullpen/Triple-A options such as DL Hall, Shane Drohan, Jake Woodford, and prospects Logan Henderson, Coleman Crow, Robert Gasser, and Carlos Rodriguez to fill spots.
Abner Uribe steps in as Milwaukee's closer, notching his first save as Trevor Megill shifts out of the ninth; Kenley Jansen collects three saves to reach 480 for his career, moving past Lee Smith into third on the all-time saves list, while Rotoworld’s closer rankings survey MLB’s late-inning shakeups and note ups and downs for relievers like Jeff Hoffman and ongoing committee scenarios in several bullpens.
Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich exited the game with left hamstring tightness; early indications suggest a more serious issue that could land him on the injured list, a significant blow to a Brewers team already dealing with injuries as they contend in a competitive NL Central. Yelich had been productive this season, slashing .327/.389/.469 over 14 games.
Milwaukee took a 3-2 lead on Jake Bauers’s homer after early trouble for both starters, but Washington tied it at 3-3 in the seventh; Trevor Megill’s nine-pitch ninth inning devolved quickly with a hit-by-pitch, two botched bunts, and two misthrown plays that allowed four runs, giving the Nationals a 7-3 victory and the series opener. The Brewers finished with four hits and five walks; they’ll try to rebound tomorrow as Kyle Harrison faces Foster Griffin.
Milwaukee will recall catcher Jeferson Quero for his MLB debut and place Andrew Vaughn on the injured list with a fractured hand, creating a three-catcher setup behind William Contreras while veteran Gary Sanchez and others shoulder first-base duties as needed.
Milwaukee finalized its 26-man Opening Day roster for 2026, with Jacob Misiorowski set to start the season as part of a rotation that includes Chad Patrick, Brandon Sproat, Kyle Harrison, and Brandon Woodruff; Jake Woodford was added via trade and will contribute in relief. The catching pair is William Contreras and Gary Sánchez; infielders are Andrew Vaughn, Jake Bauers, Brice Turang, Joey Ortiz, Luis Rengifo, and David Hamilton; outfielders are Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, Brandon Lockridge, and Christian Yelich. The bullpen features Trevor Megill, Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, Ángel Zerpa, Jared Koenig, DL Hall, Grant Anderson, and Jake Woodford. Three players are Opening Day rookies (Misiorowski, Sproat, Anderson); five players start the year on the injured list (Priester, Zastryzny, Akil Baddoo, Steward Berroa, Craig Yoho).
The Milwaukee Brewers have extended manager Pat Murphy with a three-year contract that adds two guaranteed seasons and a 2029 club option, totaling about $8.95 million in new money. Murphy, who won back-to-back NL Manager of the Year honors in 2024 and 2025, has steered Milwaukee to division titles and deep playoff runs despite roster turnover; going into 2026, the Brewers are positioned as strong contenders in a tougher NL Central.
