Elly De La Cruz is scorching the baseball for the Cincinnati Reds in early September 2026. The 24-year-old shortstop has exploded out of a midseason lull, posting a .458 average (11-for-24) with three home runs and seven RBI over his last seven games. The surge includes a three-game homer binge. On September 5 he went 2-for-4 with a solo shot against Milwaukee. The next night he mashed a two-run homer and added a two-run double for four RBI in a 12-8 win. Then on September 7 at Dodger Stadium ...
The Milwaukee Brewers came alive towards the end of their Monday afternoon contest against the Chicago Cubs.

Thomas Pannone accomplished something on Monday that hadnât been done in nearly a decade in the Minor Leagues: he threw a perfect game. The 32-year-old left-hander, whom the Brewers signed in 2024, blanked Durham in Triple-A Nashvilleâs 3-0 victory at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Pannone struck out eight in the perfecto, needing just 94 pitches (61 of which were strikes) in the effort. The perfect game is the first by a single pitcher in the Minors since 2017, when the feat was accomplished twi...
Itâs only fitting that 2026âs final edition of the Prospect Team of the Week would feature Andrew Fischer. Throughout the Minor League campaign, the Brewersâ No. 5 prospect has launched roundtripper after roundtripper, and heâs pulled away with the Minor League lead â and a chance for 50 homers. Fischer has made the Prospect Team of the Week in Weeks 5, 10, 13, 20 and now 21, which puts him in elite company. In 11 seasons of these honors, only Yordan Alvarez (2019) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (2...

Prior to todayâs 4-3 win over the Cubs, the Brewers placed right-hander Grant Anderson on the 15-day injured list due to right biceps inflammation. Right-hander Brandon Sproat was called up from Triple-A Nashville in the corresponding move. Since Anderson was acquired from the Rangers during the 2024-25 offseason, the righty has been a workhorse in [âŠ]
Craig Counsell's disasterclass in Monday's loss to the Brewers has Chicago Cubs fans wondering if he's cut out for October baseball.
MILWAUKEE â Before I begin my critique of Cubs manager Craig Counsell, the Cubsâ 4-3 loss to the Brewers Monday was a really good ballgame in front of a packed house that had to be close to 40 percent Cubs fans. Well worth the drive up despite the loss. Anyway. Situation: The gameâs going into [âŠ]
The Cubs traveled to American Family Field for a Labor Day matinee against the first-place Brewers not long after splitting four games at Wrigley.

MILWAUKEE â The Brewers have seen Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong more than most teams over the past few years and have a strong track record so far for minimizing his impact in the batterâs box. âWeâre lucky,â Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. Sammy Sosa Bobblehead Giveaway is Sept. 13! In the Cubsâ 4-3 loss to the Brewers on Monday afternoon, Crow-Armstrong notched two hits, including his 41st homer of the year, stole two bases and scored two runs in the opener of a three-game set at ...
Box Score For most of the game, things had largely trended the Cubsâ way. They got a home run from their No. 9 hitter, Pedro RamĂrez, in the fifth inning off Robert Gasser, and chased him from the game two batters later. Another short start, another long stretch for the Brewers bullpen. Meanwhile, Matthew Boyd [âŠ]

Thereâs a player in Major League Baseball who is having one of the best second-half surges in the league, and you probably havenât been hearing about him. That player is Joey Ortiz of the Milwaukee Brewers. Ortiz has been one of the most productive players, not just on the Brewers, but in the majors over the past few months. That has not always been the case for the young infielder. Background Ortiz, a shortstop by trade, has been in the more

The Brewers look to have another future star on their hands.
The Milwaukee Brewers begin a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. It should be a fun matchup, as both teams are at the top of the NL Central standings.

After splitting a four-game series at Wrigley Field, the two NL Central rivals return to American Family Field for their final regular-season series. The Brewers hold a comfortable seven-game lead over the Cubs for the top [âŠ]
Year in and year out, the Milwaukee Brewers are one of the most unheralded teams in MLB. They lack big-name superstars, but the team is great at diagnosing talent and developing it, and they tend to win a lot of games because of that. Right now, the Brewers lead all of baseball with 88 wins. [âŠ]
