Milwaukee Brewers News Roundup — September 28, 2026

The Milwaukee Brewers finished the regular season with 103 wins, the best in franchise history, and will enter the playoffs as the top seed in baseball with home-field advantage throughout. Jacob Misiorowski capped an exceptional season by allowing no runs over 5 1/3 innings in Sunday's finale, earning his 16th win while leading the league in strikeouts (252), ERA (1.80), WHIP (0.80), and batting average against (.157).

The Brewers' offensive strength down the stretch came from multiple sources. Brice Turang finished with career highs of 21 home runs, 37 doubles, and 100 RBIs, becoming just the eighth player in franchise history to reach 100 runs and 100 RBIs in a single season. Jackson Chourio added career highs of 25 home runs and 23 stolen bases while posting a .471/.550/.647 line in the final week. Both players earned All-MLB nominations, with Turang considered a heavy favorite at shortstop after posting 7.3 WAR.

Milwaukee will face the winner of the Cubs-Padres Wild Card Series beginning Saturday in the NLDS. The team demonstrated its depth by sweeping the Cardinals despite injuries to key players, relying on small-ball tactics and generating runs through singles rather than home runs despite ranking 28th in the league in homers. Christian Yelich, named captain for the first time in franchise history, struggled in the 2025 postseason and will look to bounce back alongside Turang, who reached base only six times in 37 plate appearances last October.

The Brewers' farm system also showed promise heading into October, with corner infielder Andrew Fischer named Minor League Player of the Year after hitting 48 home runs across 126 games in High-A and Double-A, the most by any minor leaguer since 1982. Right-hander Josh Knoth earned Minor League Pitcher of the Year honors after returning from Tommy John surgery to post a 2.77 ERA in Double-A.
