Brewers' Quinn Priester: Follow-up visit with doctor
Rotowire
Priester (shoulder) will have a follow-up visit Tuesday with thoracic surgeon Dr. Gregory Pearl, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester had to be pulled off his rehab assignment last week, as he has struggled to get into any kind of groove as he works his way back from thoracic outlet symptoms. A plan for Priester's next steps will be mapped out following Tuesday's visit. It's unclear at this point whether surgery is a possibility.

Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Officially DFA'd
Rotowire
The Brewers designated Rengifo for assignment Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The move is hardly a surprise with the recent news that prospect Cooper Pratt is being promoted to the big-league roster. Rengifo inked a one-year, $3.5 million contract with Milwaukee in February, but he never got his bat on track with a .205/.280/.254 slash line in 209 plate appearances while also struggling defensively.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Officially called up for MLB debut
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Pratt from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Word broke Sunday that Pratt was on his way to the big leagues, and his promotion is now official. The 21-year-old's .241/.349/.386 batting line at Nashville is underwhelming, but he's hit .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases over his last 25 games. Pratt is expected to take over as the Brewers' primary shortstop, leaving David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz to cover third base. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Guardians in his major-league debut.

Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Expected to be DFA'd
Rotowire
The Brewers will designate Rengifo for assignment prior to Tuesday's contest against the Guardians, Pat Ragazzo of Athlon Sports reports.
The Brewers need to free up a roster spot for Cooper Pratt, who will be called up for his major-league debut. Rengifo is slashing only .205/.280/.254 with zero home runs this season, and he's started just one of the last four games. With Pratt on the way and David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz also on the roster, Rengifo's playing time was likely to drop further. Rengifo is a safe bet to clear waivers and become a free agent, and if that happens, the Brewers will be responsible of what remains of his $3.5 million salary.
Crow said Sunday that an MRI on his right forearm revealed a mild flexor strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Milwaukee placed Crow on the 15-day injured list Friday, three days after he shifted to the bullpen and made a two-inning relief appearance in the Brewers' 7-5 loss to the Athletics. Crow still appears likely to miss more than the minimum amount of time, but since his injury is considered mild, he's expected to avoid a prolonged shutdown. The Brewers are likely still planning on developing the right-hander as a starter, so he could end up joining the rotation at Triple-A Nashville once he's activated from the IL.

Brewers' DL Hall: Receives injection for pec
Rotowire
Hall received an anti-inflammatory injection for his left pectoral strain Friday, MLB.com reports.
Hall could be cleared to start throwing once the shot takes full effect, but the southpaw is still preparing to miss around 4-to-8 weeks while he works his way back from the pec injury. Prior to landing on the shelf June 5, Hall notched three holds and turned in a 2.03 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:24 K:BB across 31 innings.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Gets injection for knee
Rotowire
Lockridge received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right knee Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Lockridge has been on the injured list since May 9 due to a right knee laceration, but he appeared to be close to heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment earlier this month. However, after experiencing recurring discomfort with his knee while upping the intensity of his running, Lockridge opted for the PRP treatment with the hope that it would accelerate his healing. He'll likely wait a couple more days for the shot to take full effect before he starts ramping back up, but a timeline for Lockridge's return from the IL won't become clear until he begins playing in minor-league games.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Another minor-league start on tap
Rotowire
Woodruff (shoulder) is expected to make another minor-league rehab start Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
The Brewers haven't announced which affiliate Woodruff will join for his second rehab start, but he'll be looking to build on the 68-pitch workload he handled with Milwaukee's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate last Tuesday. He turned in so-so results in that appearance, striking out five batters over 3.2 innings but yielding three runs on five hits and two walks. So long as his shoulder checks out fine during his upcoming minor-league outing and his velocity and command are satisfactory, Woodruff could then return from the 15-day injured list as soon as Sunday in Atlanta. Woodruff has been on the shelf since May 1 due to right shoulder inflammation.

Brewers' Josh Adamczewski: Advances to Double-A
Rotowire
The Brewers promoted Adamczewski from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Monday.
Adamczewski earned the promotion after producing a ridiculous .331/.464/.572 batting line with nine home runs, 10 stolen bases and a 41:40 BB:K in 50 games at Wisconsin. The 21-year-old has made all of his starts in left field this season, but Adamczewski is also capable of handling second base.

Brewers' Andrew Fischer: Moving up to Double-A
Rotowire
The Brewers promoted Fischer to Double-A Biloxi following High-A Wisconsin's 7-3 win over Great Lakes on Sunday.
Fischer will move on to the Southern League after slashing .298/.443/.675 with 20 home runs and four stolen bases across 246 plate appearances in 54 games with Wisconsin. The 22-year-old should settle into an everyday role at third base with Biloxi.
Pratt was removed Sunday from Triple-A Nashville's game against Durham prior to the sixth inning and will be recalled prior to the Brewers' next game Tuesday against the Guardians, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The 21-year-old's eventual promotion to the majors seemed inevitable at some point in 2026, after he signed an eight-year, $50 million extension with Milwaukee in early April. Though Pratt has posted a modest .735 OPS at Triple-A this season, he's been running hot since mid-May, batting .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases while walking at a 10.1 percent clip over his last 25 games with Nashville. Pratt has played exclusively at shortstop since 2024, so the Brewers could have him displace Joey Ortiz (.561 OPS over 170 plate appearances on the season) as their primary option at the position.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Perkins went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.
Perkins had struggled to find any consistency at the plate in a limited role over two stints in the majors this season. This was his first multi-hit effort of the season, and it also included his first homer, a fourth-inning blast off Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez. Perkins hadn't logged an extra-base hit since April 23 versus the Tigers. On the season, the outfielder is batting just .133 with a .462 OPS, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and three stolen bases over 86 plate appearances. The switch hitter will likely continue to play primarily against left-handed pitchers as a platoon partner for either Garrett Mitchell or Sal Frelick in center field or right field, respectively.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Stays hot with leadoff homer
Rotowire
Chourio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.
Chourio took Cristopher Sanchez's fourth pitch of the game out to center field. The power continues to rise for Chourio, who has five homers and nine RBI over his last five contests. He's logged five multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, batting .457 (16-for-35) in that span. For the season, the outfielder is hitting .322 with a .942 OPS, nine homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored, 11 doubles and five stolen bases over 35 contests. Chourio often hits second in the order, though he moves up to leadoff against southpaws or when Christian Yelich gets a day off.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Tosses six shutout innings
Rotowire
Harrison (8-1) allowed three hits and hit one batter while striking out three and walking none over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Phillies on Sunday.
Harrison outdueled Cristopher Sanchez in this contest. It was a strong bounce-back effort after Harrison was tagged for eight runs over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Monday. The southpaw has allowed one run or less in five of his last six starts. For the season, he has a 2.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 80:18 K:BB through 65.2 innings over 13 starts. Harrison's next start is projected to be on the road in Atlanta.

Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Losing out on playing time
Rotowire
Rengifo will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Though he'll be part of the starting nine Sunday while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez toes the rubber for Philadelphia, Rengifo was out of the lineup the previous three games when Milwaukee faced right-handed starters or bulk relievers. Rengifo has gone just 4-for-24 (.167 average) over his last nine games and appears to have faded into a utility role, with the Brewers having prioritized Joey Ortiz and David Hamilton ahead of him on the left side of the infield.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Playing time trending up
Rotowire
Ortiz will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Ortiz will stick in the starting nine for the seventh time in eight games while he's maintained a serviceable .280/.357/.400 slash line thus far in June. With Ortiz's playing time on the upswing, Luis Rengifo has been the odd man out on the left side of the infield.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Frelick will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Brice Turang, Jake Bauers and Christian Yelich while the Brewers go with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Phillies lefty Cristopher Sanchez. Blake Perkins will step in for Frelick in right field and will bat seventh.
