MILWAUKEE – Dustin May breezed through his first two Brewers starts since the Trade Deadline. But he’s been around long enough to know they won’t all be that way. May ran into his first roadblock since joining the Brewers in a 7-5 loss to the Mariners on Wednesday, when mediocre

MILWAUKEE – The Brewers wasted no time bringing young shortstop Cooper Pratt back to the big leagues on Wednesday, and right fielder Sal Frelick doesn’t appear to be far behind. While Pratt returned to the Brewers’ lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Mariners after being reinstated from the 10-day injured

MILWAUKEE – Jake Bauers scratched, clawed and crawled for the Brewers’ first run on Tuesday night. He smashed his shoulder in the process and dirtied his uniform. It was quintessential Brewers baseball. And it bore absolutely zero resemblance to the rest of the night.

MILWAUKEE – The box score says it was a productive night at High-A Wisconsin for rehabbing Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt. If the Brewers agree, then Pratt could be back in Milwaukee as soon as Wednesday against the Mariners.

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers welcomed back a key piece ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Mariners at American Family Field. Brice Turang, who missed all of Milwaukee’s four-game series against the Dodgers from Thursday-Sunday in Los Angeles, was in Tuesday’s lineup, leading off and playing second base.

LOS ANGELES – Brewers second baseman Brice Turang put his left knee through another battery of tests Sunday, and said he hopes to be back in the starting lineup for the beginning of a homestand on Tuesday at American Family Field. Turang didn’t start any of the Brewers’ four games

LOS ANGELES -- Jacob Misiorowski was entertaining a quartet of Japanese reporters on Friday when the topic inevitably turned to the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani. How would Misiorowski approach the global superstar when they squared off again on Saturday afternoon? Misiorowski didn’t bother with playing coy.

LOS ANGELES – Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson saw Sunday’s pitching matchup at Dodger Stadium and had to chuckle. It isn’t the first time he’s been connected to Dodgers Trade Deadline prize Tarik Skubal. “It’s funny how that works out,” Henderson said. It’s no secret that the Brewers made a serious

LOS ANGELES -- Brewers manager Pat Murphy leaned back in his chair Saturday to tell a story. It was the early 2000s and his oldest son, Kai, was playing on a 9U team for Murphy’s Sandlot Baseball program in Arizona, for a team so good it had trouble finding opponents.

LOS ANGELES – Every day, Brewers manager Pat Murphy scratches out a batting order on a napkin or a scrap of paper, takes a picture and texts it to a member of the coaching staff, Evan Martin, whose title is game preparation specialist. The names Christian Yelich and William Contreras

LOS ANGELES -- Sal Frelick's ability to throw the baseball will determine how soon he’s back in the Major Leagues -- but hitting a home run never hurt anybody.

LOS ANGELES – Ace setup man Abner Uribe landed on the 15-day injured list before Friday's game at Dodger Stadium with a right forearm strain, the latest in a spate of setbacks for the hobbled Brewers, who probably wish they could press pause on the season to get healthy as

SAN DIEGO – The Brewers will be tied for the most wins in Major League Baseball heading into this weekend’s NLCS rematch at Dodger Stadium, and manager Pat Murphy took a few moments Wednesday in the wake of getting swept by the Padres to remind the room of that. It

SAN DIEGO – There are weeks during which teams just cruise along and then there are weeks like the one the best-in-MLB Brewers find themselves in the midst of, with so many moving pieces it’s difficult to keep track.

SAN DIEGO – The way Pat Murphy sees it, there’s something reassuring in the Brewers owning the best record in baseball with nearly 75% of the regular season in the books and so little offensive production in the past two months from their two most highly-paid hitters. Imagine what they

MILWAUKEE -- Dustin May needed 23 pitches to navigate his first inning in a Brewers uniform. When he induced a swinging third strike from Pirates cleanup hitter Endy Rodríguez to end a scoreless frame, May flexed his arms and let out a yell. It wasn’t exactly CC Sabathia’s famous flex

MILWAUKEE – Kyle Harrison took the mound to warm up for the sixth inning of Wednesday's 4-2 Brewers win over the Pirates with history in his sights. In an electric return from the injured list at American Family Field, the 24-year-old left-hander had struck out each of the last eight
