In the summer of 2019, the Blue Jays selected the Oakville, Ontario native out of Abbey Park High School in the third round, as he was the first Canadian to go off the board at that year's draft. Brown had a strong abbreviated debut, slashing .222/.444/.356 in the 14 games he played after the draft. Like all minor leaguers, Brown didn't play in the minor leagues in 2020, because there were no minor leagues.

The Brewers are getting calls about right-handed reliever as teams around the league look for under-the-radar bullpen help, per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. Milwaukee has also gotten plenty of interest in closer Trevor Megill and ace Freddy Peralta this winter. There's no indication the Brewers are especially motivated to part with any of the bunch. Mears, 29, landed with the Brewers ahead of the 2024 trade deadline in a deal sending pitchers Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera back to the Rockies.

Houston took Bukauskas with the 15th overall pick in 2017. Injuries limited him to 17 appearances over his first two professional seasons. Bukauskas reached Double-A for his final start of 2018. He remained at the level in 2019, posting a 5.25 ERA across 20 appearances (14 starts). The Astros shipped Bukauskas, Corbin Martin, , and to the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline for Zack Greinke.

The Brewers have added infielder Eddys Leonard on a minor league deal, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The pact includes an invitation to spring training. Leonard will now join his fourth organization in the past four seasons. He spent last year in Atlanta's minor league system. The Braves signed him in late March after he was released by the Tigers. Leonard elected minor league free agency last week.

There is nothing more important to us than connecting with and making our games available to our great fans,

The Brewers have claimed left-hander Sammy Peralta off waivers from the Angels, as announced by both teams.

He's one of my favorites. He's a captain himself over there. I know not many people talk about him being a captain or anything like that,

The reason the Milwaukee Brewers are here in the National League Championship Series is because of plays such as the one that ended the fourth inning Monday night. A strange, one-in-a-million, 400-foot double-play in which one Brewers fielder made a spectacular defensive effort, and another never lost awareness of a wacky situation - highlighting the sound fundamentals that made them baseball's winningest team this season.

The Milwaukee Brewers finalized their 26-man postseason roster for the National League Championship Series, electing to carry 12 pitchers and 14 position players against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Like the Dodgers, the Brewers made only change from their NL Division Series roster against the Chicago Cubs as they swapped out Nick Mears for Tobias Myers. Mears made three appearances against the Cubs in the NLDS and threw 1.2 scoreless innings.

Pat Murphy, the gregarious manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, was in no hurry to wrap up his news conference Sunday. He compared Mookie Betts playing shortstop to Stephen Curry playing forward. He anointed Freddie Freeman as his favorite player even though "he's ruined Brewers history many times." He read off names from an eight-year-old Dodgers scouting report that included Yasiel Puig, Rich Hill and Curtis Granderson. "I love Kenley Jansen," Murphy said. "You guys miss him?"

As they worked out at Dodger Stadium, two days after winning their National League Division Series over the Philadelphia Phillies, they had Game 5 of the other NLDS on the scoreboard - getting a first look at their NL Championship Series opponent. "It's certainly nice to be able to get a couple days to reset, prepare, and we're kind of doing our due diligence," manager Dave Roberts said on Saturday afternoon. "We'll have that game on the big board."

The Brewers sent infielder Oliver Dunn outright to Triple-A Nashville, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Dunn cleared waivers after being designated for assignment when Jackson Chourio returned from the injured list over the weekend. This is his first outright and he doesn't have three years of big league service, so he'll need to accept the assignment. Dunn has been with Nashville since the middle of April.

The Brewers stay in the top spot after splitting a four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks and taking two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays. They are still 6.5 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs and cruising toward a playoff berth. Jackson Chourio returned from the injured list to excellent results, with six hits in two games. He will be key to Milwaukee breaking its playoff slump, with no series wins since 2018.

August 31 - Clay Bellinger blooped a go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning and Aaron Judge and Austin Wells homered as the visiting New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Saturday for their seventh straight win. The Yankees moved within two games of the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays while stretching their lead over the Boston Red Sox for the first AL wild-card berth to 1 1/2 games.

It's become common in recent years for teams that have fallen out of the playoff race to place veteran players (especially impending free agents) on outright waivers late in the year, offering them up to possible contenders who would like to claim them. That process is typically done before September 1 to allow players claimed off waivers to participate in the postseason with their new club.
