5 rookies set to have important roles on Brewers' 2026 postseason roster

The Milwaukee Brewers have a history of relying on rookies during their playoff runs, with recent examples including Jackson Chourio's two-homer performance in the 2024 Wild Card Series and Jacob Misiorowski's 12 innings of relief last season. Five rookies are expected to play important roles in the 2026 postseason, including pitcher Logan Henderson, who has allowed three or fewer earned runs in 22 consecutive outings and is positioned to be the team's No. 2 starter. Outfielder Cooper Pratt has impressed since his debut three months ago with a .276 batting average and has reached base safely in 13 of his last 16 games.
