• Moves to IL
    The Brewers placed Mitchell (finger) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Mitchell will likely face a 6-to-8-week absence to begin the season due to the fractured left index finger he suffered in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks. While Mitchell is on the shelf, the Brewers will likely turn to Sal Frelick and Blake Perkins to form a platoon in center field. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

  • Makes Opening Day roster
    Bart (hamstring) made the Giants' Opening Day roster but didn't appear off the bench in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Bart tweaked his right hamstring in a March 22 Cactus League game, but he was able to play in both of the Giants' Bay Bridge Series exhibition games against the Athletics on Monday and Tuesday to guarantee his availability for the start of the season. He's opening the season as the Giants' No. 3 catcher and is unlikely to see much playing time behind Patrick Bailey and Tom Murphy. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Opens in outfield
    Steer started in left field and went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Nationals on Opening Day.

    Advice: Steer was part of a productive lower-half of the order, which combined to go 8-for-19 and was responsible for all eight runs and RBI. He qualifies at multiple positions, but the offseason plan was to use him primarily in the outfield. Steer led the team in home runs (23) and RBI (86) last season while stealing a fantasy-helpful 15 bases. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Smacks opening-day homer
    Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over Houston.

    Advice: Cabrera singled in the fifth inning before coming around to score when Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The 25-year-old Cabrera then tied the game 4-4 with a solo homer off Rafael Montero in the sixth, pulling a two-strike slider into the right-field bleachers. The switch-hitting Cabrera hit just five home runs in 115 games last season while slashing .211/.275/.299. He figures to see an expanded role with DJ LeMahieu (foot) sidelined, though the newly-acquired Jon Berti figures to be in the mix at third as well. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Brewers recall Oliver Dunn from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled 2B Oliver Dunn from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Dunn put together a breakout performance in the Arizona Fall League, which earned him a spot on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster last November following a trade from the Phillies. The 26-year-old will be on the Brewers’ Opening Day roster when they kick off the season on Friday in New York against the Mets. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

    Brewers optioned RHP J.B. Bukauskas to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Bukauskas has shuttled back and forth between Milwaukee’s bullpen and Triple-A Nashville over the last years and figures to continue doing so this season. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago

  • Brewers put Garrett Mitchell (hand) on 10-day IL
    Brewers placed OF Garrett Mitchell on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 25, with a fractured left index finger.

    Advice: Mitchell was poised to open the season as part of Milwaukee’s outfield mix, but is instead going to be on the shelf for at least 6-8 weeks. He should be ready to make his season debut at some point in mid-May. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
