Andrew Vaughn coverage
Brewers' "paper cut" offense defeats Chris Sale, NL East-leading Braves in Friday's series opener
The Brewers defeated the NL East-leading Braves 2-1 behind Jacob Misiorowski's six-inning shutout in a matchup against Chris Sale on Friday. Milwaukee's offense manufactured both runs in the third inning through a series of singles, with William Contreras and Andrew Vaughn driving in the runs. The Brewers' approach of working deep counts and stringing together singles forced Sale to throw 23 pitches in the first inning alone, ultimately wearing down the veteran pitcher despite his quality start.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers injury news: Cooper Pratt's progress, Sal Frelick rehab assignment, JoJo Romero's timeline
The first-place Brewers are dealing with multiple infield injuries during a demanding stretch of 17 games in 17 days. Rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt suffered a hamstring strain during a game against Minnesota and was placed on the injured list, though manager Pat Murphy reports he is making solid progress and is expected to return in late August. The team has also been affected by Joey Ortiz's neck and upper back soreness and Brice Turang's newly acquired sprained thumb, forcing them to use Ji Hwan Bae, Andrew Vaughn, and Turang as temporary replacements.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers' top prospect's second untimely injury challenges organization's infield depth
The Milwaukee Brewers' infield depth has been tested by consecutive hamstring injuries to David Hamilton and Cooper Pratt within a month, forcing the team to shuffle its roster and sign former Pirates utility player Ji Hwan Bae. Top prospect Jett Williams, who was acquired in the Freddy Peralta trade, has been unable to capitalize on these opportunities due to a recurring wrist injury that he re-aggravated during his first at-bat after returning from the injured list on August 8. Williams is heading to Arizona for a specialist evaluation, as he has a history of wrist problems including a 2024 TFCC tear surgery. The Brewers have responded by moving Andrew Vaughn to third base for consecutive starts and using Brice Turang at shortstop situationally.
