Milwaukee Brewers Wiretap

Outfield prospect Luis Lara and the Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a seven-year, $31 million contract extension that includes three club options, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Tuesday.

The deal for the 21-year-old Lara, who has dominated at Triple-A Nashville this season, maxes out at $79 million, sources told ESPN.

Right-hander Joel Kuhnel was acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers from the Athletics for cash on Saturday after Brian Fitzpatrick became their eighth pitcher on the injured list.

Fitzpatrick was placed on the 15-day injured list after he hurt his left elbow Friday following one warmup pitch in the seventh inning against Colorado Rockies.

"He's got a strain of the UCL," manager Pat Murphy said of Fitzpatrick. "We're going to get another opinion on it to see if we're just going to rehab or if he has to get another Tommy John. We want to get our doctor's hands on him. Rehab it right now."

Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski threw a 103.7 mph pitch Saturday night against the Colorado Rockies, the fastest by a starter since tracking began in 2008.

The 24-year-old right-hander's record-setting pitch was low and outside to Kyle Karros in the third inning.

"It's one of those things: It is what it is," Misiorowski said. "I'm going to keep going, trying to get strikeouts, and if that's what it takes to get strikeouts, then so be it."

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said antics on the mound by Milwaukee reliever Abner Uribe after an inning-ending strikeout in a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night were unacceptable.

Uribe got Alec Burleson on a called third strike with two outs and runners on first and second in the eighth, the only inning he pitched. Uribe then made three WWE-style crotch chops while facing the Cardinals dugout.

The Cardinals challenged the call, which was close, but narrowly confirmed to be at the bottom of the strike zone.

"I don't know what got over him. I mean, he's been an emotional guy, but that kind of things, that's just not how we do things," Murphy said. "I was embarrassed by it. Why are we doing it? It's a 6-0 game. What are we doing there?"

Jacob Misiorowski has been reaching new milestones for velocity just about every time he pitches, and that might explain the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander's lack of surprise over his latest achievement.

Misiorowski threw 57 pitches of at least 100 mph -- the most by any individual in a game since pitch tracking began in 2008 -- while getting 12 strikeouts to match his career high Monday in a 5-1 win against the St. Louis Cardinals.

"That's what I do," Misiorowski said. "I throw hard."

With nearly two months of the 2026 season complete, 22 players from the preseason MLB top 100 prospect list have graduated from eligibility, reshuffling the rankings ahead of what figures to be an active trade deadline season.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jesus Made, 19, moves to the top spot after posting 90th percentile exit velocities that rank among big league averages despite playing in Double-A. His ability to control the strike zone and his defensive profile stand out, though scouts note his swing produces insufficient lift to translate his raw power into home run totals. If that changes in the second half, a significant ranking jump could follow.

Among the most notable movers is Boston Red Sox shortstop Franklin Arias, who climbs from 36th to sixth after posting improved exit velocity and lift rates while maintaining contact. Athletics shortstop Leo De Vries jumps to second after his profile helped pry All-Star closer Mason Miller from Oakland. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Seth Hernandez rises from 49th to seventh after slider and fastball shape improvements unlocked his ceiling.

Notable graduates from the list include the previous top two prospects, Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle, along with Samuel Basallo, JJ Wetherholt, Bubba Chandler, Carson Benge, Andrew Painter, and Carson Williams, among others.

Seven players currently on active big league rosters remain eligible but could graduate within weeks.

The Milwaukee Brewers activated Christian Yelich from the injured list Tuesday after the outfielder/designated hitter had missed a month with an adductor strain.

The 34-year-old Yelich last played April 12. The 2018 NL MVP and three-time All-Star is hitting .314 with one home run, 10 RBIs and three steals in 15 games this season.

Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski set a standard for velocity by a starting pitcher while keeping up his habit of performing best in high-profile situations.

Misiorowski threw 10 pitches of at least 103 mph while striking out 11 over six dominant innings in the Brewers' 6-0 home victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night. He had three pitches of 103.6 mph, the highest velocity any starter has reached since Statcast tracking began in 2008.

Wednesday’s series opener will be broadcast locally on Detroit SportsNet (DSN) and Brewers.TV. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 PM ET. Fans can stream the game in high definition on Fubo, which offers access to regional sports networks and national MLB coverage.

The Milwaukee Brewers (13-9) visit the Detroit Tigers (12-12) this Wednesday, April 22, to continue an intriguing interleague series at Comerica Park. Milwaukee enters as one of the highest-scoring teams in the National League, despite a flurry of early-season injuries to their core stars. The Tigers, playing at .500, look to stabilize their home stand and climb the AL Central rankings behind a resurgent pitching staff.

The Brewers have found unlikely heroes in Jake Bauers and Gary Sanchez, both of whom have provided massive power numbers while Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio remain on the injured list. Detroit relies on the elite on-base skills of Kevin McGonigle and the burgeoning power of Dillon Dingler. Catch every pitch and home run live on Fubo.

The pitching duel features a veteran right-hander against a rising arm with eye-popping numbers. Detroit turns to Casey Mize (1-1, 2.78 ERA), who has demonstrated sharp command and high strikeout potential early in 2026. He faces Milwaukee's Chad Patrick (1-0, 0.95 ERA). While Patrick’s ERA is elite, analysts suggest he may be due for regression given a low strikeout rate and a high strand rate. You can witness this interleague clash streaming live on Fubo.

The defining storyline for the Brewers is their ability to "weather the storm" while missing three of their top bats. For Detroit, the focus is on Mize’s ability to silence a Milwaukee lineup that is prone to high-scoring outbursts. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.

Prediction: Casey Mize has the edge in experience and secondary stuff. While Patrick has been a great story, the Tigers' disciplined approach should eventually get to him. Final Score: Tigers 4, Brewers 2.

Individual Matchups: Stars and Playmakers
