Milwaukee Brewers

Fantasy Impact: Stock is expected to begin to ramp up and start games for the Brewers’ Triple-A affiliate in Nashville. The 33-year-old could see time as a spot starter or if there is an injury in the Brewers’ rotation, but Stock will not hold much fantasy value in 2023.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell has resumed full workouts as he works his way back from a hamstring injury. (Source: MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact: Likely to be the Brewers' center fielder on Opening Day, the 24-year-old Mitchell will look to build on an impressive 28-game showing with the big club in 2022. After hitting a robust .341 in 20 Triple-A games, Mitchell hit .311 with one homer, eight steals, and an .832 OPS in 68 plate appearances with the Brewers. Expectations should be tempered, however, as he sported a .548 BABIP, 41.2% strikeout rate, and a .266 xwOBA that was nearly 100 points below his .365 actual mark. He hasn't hit for much power in the minors but should be a solid source of stolen bases in his rookie 2023 campaign.

Fantasy Impact: Ashby plans to throw again in a few days as long as his shoulder continues to respond. The 24-year-old is expected to open the season on the injured list after suffering a slight labrum tear and a shoulder impingement. Ashby will need to continue to show progress in his throwing program before he can begin thinking about joining the Brewers during the regular season.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Alex Claudio left Saturday's Cactus League game after being hit in the leg by a comebacker. (Source: MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact: The comebacker came off the bat of the first and only batter Claudio would face on the day as he left the game after completing the Nick Pratto groundout. Brewers skipper Craig Counsell did not have an official update on the southpaw but did say after the game he thinks Claudio will be OK. The 31-year-old has scuffled in recent seasons and pitched just 3 1/3 innings in 2022. He owns a career 3.60 ERA across 355 big-league appearances but has posted an ERA of 4.06 or worse in each of his last four seasons prior to 2022.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker is expected to make his spring debut Tuesday. (Source: Adam McCalvy on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Winker underwent off-season surgery on a spine/neck issue that he's been battling for some time. He finally decided to undergo a unique procedure on the heels of a down 2022 season that saw him hit just .219 with 14 home runs and a .688 OPS across 136 games with the Seattle Mariners. The 2021 All-Star is a prime bounce-back candidate for fantasy managers in 2023.

Fantasy Impact: “We’re looking at missing the first month of the season,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Brian Anderson figures to see more playing time in right field early in the season.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Luke Voit agreed to a minor-league deal Tuesday. (Source: Robert Murray on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Voit appeared in 135 games between the Nationals and the Padres last season. The veteran first baseman slashed .226/.308/.402 with 22 home runs and 69 RBI last season. Voit provides the Brewers with another first base/DH option for the 2023 season.

Justin Wilson has signed a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Brewers with a club option for 2024. Jason Alexander was placed on the 60-day IL to make room. (Source: ESPN.com)

Fantasy Impact: Wilson made just 5 appearances last season with the Reds but had a 2.45 ERA and 17.18 K/9. He should serve as a situational lefty in the Brewers bullpen behind Devin Williams.

Corbin Burnes is not happy with the Milwaukee Brewers organization after an arbitration hearing in which he lost. (Source: Adam McCalvy on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It was odd to see the Brewers take their ace and 2021 NL Cy Young winner to arbitration despite only about $700K difference in the figures exchanged between Burnes and the team. Burnes told the media on Thursday 'the relationship is definitely hurt' and 'you learn your true value in the organization'. Certainly, this is nightmarish news for Brewers fans after Burnes led all MLB pitchers with a 12.0 fWAR, tied for fourth in ERA (2.71), and ranked second in K-BB% (27%) over the last two seasons.

Fantasy Impact: Wong has been on the Mariners' radar all offseason and is now part of the team. He will slot in as their everyday second baseman. Wong had a sneaky 15 home runs, 17 stolen base season in 2022.

Hunter Renfroe was traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Los Angeles Angels for three pitching prospects. (Source: Milwaukee Brewers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Renfroe is coming off a strong season where he hit 29 home runs and posted an .807 OPS in his only season with the Brewers. He will join an outfield with Mike Trout and Taylor Ward in Los Angeles, pushing Jo Adell even further out of the equation for the Angels.

Brent Suter claimed by Rockies

Brent Suter was claimed off waivers by Colorado. (Source: Curt Hogg on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Suter was waived by the Brewers after being eligible for his final year of arbitration. He has a career 3.51 ERA in 394 innings and has been rather dominant since 2019, when he has a 3.08 ERA. Pitching in Colorado is never ideal, so it kills most of the value Suter had in deeper fantasy leagues.

Keston Hiura went 2-for-4 Wednesday, singling, doubling, and scoring one run in the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Hiura has gotten hits in just three of his last seven games for the Brewers, scoring one run and driving in two runs in that span. The 26-year-old finishes with a .226 batting average, 34 runs scored, 14 home runs, and 32 runs batted in through 80 games this season.

Rowdy Tellez went 1-for-4 Wednesday, hitting a solo home run in the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Tellez struggled mightily at the plate to end the season, hitting just .190 with 16 runs scored, eight home runs, 14 runs batted in, and 24 strikeouts over his last 30 games. The 27-year-old finishes an inconsistent 2022 season hitting .219 with 67 runs scored, 35 home runs, and 89 runs batted in through 153 games this season.

Eric Lauer tossed six hitless innings on the mound for the Brewers Tuesday, walking four and striking out six in the Brewers' 3-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Lauer has allowed two runs or less in four of his last five starts for the Brewers, posting a 28K/8BB ratio in that span. The 27-year-old left-hander finishes his 2022 season posting a 1.22 WHIP and 3.69 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 29 starts (11-7) on the mound this season.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. (Source: Milwaukee Brewers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Brewers were eliminated from postseason contention thanks to Sunday's loss to the Marlins, factoring into Adames starting Tuesday's game on the bench. Despite hitting 31 home runs on the season, Adames failed to record a multi-hit effort over his last 12 games. Luis Urias shifts to shortstop in Adames' place, hitting fourth in the Brewers' lineup.


Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 Monday, singling, homering, scoring two runs, and driving in one run in the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Yelich has picked up hits in just four of his last 10 games for the Brewers, scoring five runs, hitting two home runs, and driving in four runs in that span. The outfielder is hitting .254 with 18 stolen bases, 99 runs scored, 14 home runs, and 57 runs batted in through 152 games this season.

Brandon Woodruff was strong on the mound for six innings for the Brewers Monday, allowing two runs on two hits while also walking one and striking out seven in the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Woodruff has allowed two runs or less in six of his last seven starts for the Brewers, posting an impressive 5.80 K/BB ratio in that span. The 29-year-old right-hander carries a 3.05 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 190 strikeouts in 27 starts (13-4) on the mound this season.
