Brewers' Gary Sanchez: Smacks two-run shot in 2026 debut
Rotowire
Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Brewers' 9-7 win over the White Sox on Sunday.
Sanchez made his first start of the season Sunday at first base as the Brewers opted to sit the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers against White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay, and Sanchez put Milwaukee on the board with a two-run homer in the first inning. Sanchez signed a one-year deal with the Brewers in February after spending the 2025 season with the Orioles, where he appeared in just 30 regular-season games. He could see some regular playing time at first base and behind home plate this season on days where one or both of Bauers and William Contreras are rested or serving as the team's DH.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Clutch homer in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Yelich smacked a three-run home run during the Brewers' 9-7 win over the White Sox on Sunday.
The lefty-hitting Yelich opened Sunday's game on the bench due to the White Sox sending southpaw Anthony Kay to the mound for the series finale. Yelich was brought in as a pinch hitter in the eighth frame, and he finished off the Brewers' six-run inning with a towering, three-run home run to right field. He is off to a terrific start to the 2026 campaign, going 6-for-10 with five RBI and one steal over his first three games.
Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
With Milwaukee wrapping up its season-opening series with a day game and a lefty (Anthony Kay) on the hill for the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Yelich will get a breather. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup at designated hitter in place of Yelich, who went 5-for-9 with a walk, a stolen base, three runs and two RBI in Milwaukee's first two games.

Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Idle Sunday
Rotowire
Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Mitchell has started the season strong with two hits, three walks, two stolen bases, three RBI and two runs through the Brewers' first two games, but he'll hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Christian Yelich, Jake Bauers and David Hamilton as Milwaukee stocks up on extra right-handed bats to counter White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay. Blake Perkins will cover center field in Mitchell's place Sunday.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sitting against southpaw
Rotowire
Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Bauers went 3-for-10 with a home run, three RBI and two additional runs through the Brewers' first two contests of the season, but the left-handed hitter will hit the bench Sunday while the White Sox send southpaw Anthony Kay to the hill. Especially while Andrew Vaughn (hand) and Jackson Chourio (hand) are both on the shelf, Bauers should have a fairly clear runway to regular playing time against right-handed pitching early on during the season.

Brewers' David Hamilton: Taking seat against southpaw
Rotowire
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
After starting at third base in both of the Brewers' first two games of the season, the left-handed-hitting Hamilton will retreat to the bench while the White Sox send southpaw Anthony Kay to the bump for the series finale. Luis Rengifo will cover the hot corner in place of Hamilton, who has helped fantasy managers early on by going 1-for-4 with four walks, three stolen bases and three runs.
Ortiz went 2-for-4 with one RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
Ortiz drove in a run in the seventh inning while recording his third career two-steal game. The 27-year-old is off to an encouraging start, posting multiple hits in back-to-back contests to open the season. He slashed a disappointing .230/.276/.317 in 2025 but looks set to hold down the club's starting shortstop role.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Three-hit effort in win
Rotowire
Yelich went 3-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday' 6-1 win over the White Sox.
Yelich got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning and added his first stolen base in the second. The 34-year-old has started 2026 hot, going 5-for-9 with three runs scored through two games. He slashed .264/.343/.452 with 103 RBI over 150 regular-season games in 2025 and looks poised to be a key contributor in the heart of the Brewers' order again this year.
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Posts two steals in win
Rotowire
Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
Mitchell made an impact from the outset, tallying a two-run single in the first inning and recording his first multi-steal game since last April. The 27-year-old has started each of the Brewers' first two games, reaching base multiple times in both. While durability has long been a concern, he's off to a strong start in 2026 as the team's primary center fielder.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Strikes out four in no-decision
Rotowire
Patrick did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Patrick was handed an early lead and allowed just one run on a solo homer in the fourth, but he was lifted too soon to qualify for the win. The 27-year-old threw 48 of 74 pitches for strikes while generating 10 whiffs, building on a solid 2025 regular season in which he posted a 3.53 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 119.2 innings. He's lined up for a road start against the Royals next weekend.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: No pain during bullpen session
Rotowire
Priester (wrist) threw a pain-free bullpen session Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester is expected to miss the first month of the season due to symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome, but the fact that he's able to throw off a mound without any discomfort is a positive sign. He's scheduled for one more bullpen session within the next few days before reporting to the Brewers' complex in Arizona to begin facing hitters.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Suffers hamate fracture
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Vaughn on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a hamate fracture in his left hand.
Vaughn made an early exit from Thursday's game against the White Sox after hitting a single in the sixth inning, and imaging revealed a fracture afterwards. He's slated to undergo surgery Monday and will miss roughly 4-to-6 weeks. Jake Bauers and Gary Sanchez will be in the mix for starts at first base while Vaughn is out, and Jeferson Quero will come up from Triple-A Nashville to offer depth at catcher while freeing up Sanchez to occasionally start at first.

Brewers' Jeferson Quero: Called up to Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Quero from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Considered to be the best catcher prospect in the Brewers' farm system, Quero will join the big-league roster for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old battled hamstring and shoulder issues last season but still slashed .255/.336/.412 with 44 RBI and 32 runs scored across 250 plate appearances at Nashville. He'll act in a reserve role behind William Contreras and Gary Sanchez at catcher and replace Andrew Vaughn (hand) on the active roster.
The Brewers acquired Keith from the Dodgers on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Keith spent the 2025 season at Double-A Tulsa, where he slashed .226/.296/.386 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases over 89 contests. The 25-year-old can handle all three outfield spots and is likely to be assigned to Double-A Biloxi.

Brewers' William Contreras: Drives in three
Rotowire
Contreras went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double, three RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 14-2 win against the White Sox.
The 28-year-old carried a hot bat during spring training with three homers and a 1.025 OPS in eight Cactus League games, and he carried over that success into Opening Day. Contreras came to the plate with the bases loaded in the second inning Thursday and cleared them with a double, and he followed with a single and a run scored in the sixth. His offensive production dipped last year with a .754 OPS in 150 regular-season games while playing through a left middle finger fracture, but Contreras is positioned to produce something closer to his career .805 OPS in 2026 now that he's healthy.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Goes deep Opening Day
Rotowire
Frelick went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Thursday's 14-2 win against the White Sox.
The 25-year-old has never been known for his power output -- his 12 homers during the 2025 regular season was the highest mark of his professional career -- but Frelick wasted no time going deep this year as he crushed a 407-foot shot to right field off Tyler Gilbert during the fifth inning of the season opener. Frelick likely reached close to his power ceiling last year, but his .288/.351/.405 slash line was strong in its own right, and he's off to a great start to 2026.
