PHOENIX -- Brewers manager Pat Murphy has revealed his semi-annual prediction for the player poised to take a “quantum leap” in the coming year.

PHOENIX -- It’s not uncommon to hear a pitcher who’s just been traded talking with excitement about the changes proposed by his new team. A new pitch. A new grip. A new mix. That sort of thing drives Brewers pitching coach Chris Hook, “[bleepin’] crazy.” “It’s like, ‘I’ve never even

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Big surprise: Aaron Ashby was one of the openers when Brewers pitchers got their first looks at hitters in Spring Training. Ashby and fellow lefty Robert Gasser were first to go when pitchers threw live batting practice at the start of Spring Training, prompting pitching coach Chris

PHOENIX – You don’t see many 14-pitch plate appearances in Spring Training. You don’t see many grand slams sail over the batter’s eye, either.

PHOENIX – Brewers center fielder Garrett Mitchell wasn’t the only one hurting last year after he reinjured his surgically repaired left shoulder. Another season was lost. His shoulder ached. His Type 1 diabetes went haywire. His love for the game wavered.

MESA, Ariz. – There’s nothing like a six-RBI afternoon – including a rare, three-run single – to boost a hitter’s confidence. That’s just what Brewers bench hopeful Tyler Black is seeking this spring.

PHOENIX -- Opening Day isn’t the target for Brandon Woodruff. A healthy season is. The 33-year-old Brewers right-hander threw 26 pitches in a simulated game on Monday morning at American Family Fields of Phoenix, his first action against hitters since his comeback season ended due to a lat strain last

PHOENIX -- Major League Baseball can’t implement the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System this season without knowing every hitter’s precise height, right down to the millimeter. So, like a flashback to the first day of elementary school, Brewers hitters lined up Monday to be measured. Major Leaguers have been weighed

PHOENIX -- One of the things Chris Hook loves about being a pitching coach is that you never know when or where a player will find the thing that makes a difference. Take right-hander Logan Henderson's resurrected curveball.

PHOENIX -- Hats off to Brewers infielder Tyler Black for being a good sport on a heartbreaking morning for Canadian hockey fans. While the Brewers’ American players celebrated Team USA’s scintillating, overtime win over Canada in the gold medal game at the Winter Olympics early Sunday, Black hung his head.

PHOENIX – Drew Rom is a 26-year-old left-hander who signed a Minor League deal with the Brewers in December. Players in his position naturally feel some anxiety reporting to a new team, especially a team like the Brewers, populated by so many players returning from a record-setting season in 2025.

PHOENIX – Pitching prospect Frank Cairone might not be in Arizona, but he’s with the Brewers in spirit.

PHOENIX -- On Saturday, it’s game on for the Brewers. They’ll host a Guardians split squad at American Family Fields of Phoenix to begin a slate of 31 exhibition games. Priority Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are the same as every other year. “Just getting reps, being healthy and making

PHOENIX -- Two-time defending NL Manager of the Year Pat Murphy didn’t want to be anywhere other than Milwaukee. The Brewers didn’t want anyone else at the helm. Now the sides have reached an agreement to keep everybody happy. The Brewers announced on Friday that Murphy, 67, had signed a

PHOENIX -- Sal Frelick's omission from Italy’s roster for the upcoming World Baseball Classic was not for a lack of interest. “I was fully committed,” the Brewers outfielder said. “But when I had my end of the year MRIs, I was pretty banged up. I talked with the team and

PHOENIX -- Minutes after the Brewers surprised everyone by trading away their entire depth chart at third base, including a 25-year-old, Caleb Durbin, who was coming off a third-place finish in NL Rookie of the Year Award balloting, Milwaukee’s principal owner, Mark Attanasio, heard his cell phone ring. It was

PHOENIX -- Who’s at third base for the Brewers in the wake of a trade which sent the whole depth chart at the position to Boston? This week brought the answer: Luis Rengifo. Rengifo (pronounced rehn-HEE-foh) finalized a one-year Major League deal with the Brewers that guarantees $3.5 million. He

PHOENIX – One popular model gives the Brewers a 20.4% chance of winning a fourth straight National League Central title and projects them going 82-80. Another widely cited projection is even more pessimistic at just a 12.6% chance to win the division and an 81-81 projected record.

PHOENIX – Brewers officials took a significant risk when they included rookie flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski on the postseason roster last year, considering the way he slumped to the finish of the regular season and had little experience in relief.
