Brewers Enter Deadline as NL Central Leaders Hunting Offensive Upgrades

Milwaukee holds a 5-game lead in the NL Central and is targeting power, a right-handed bat, and depth pieces before the deadline.

The Brewers own a 52-31 record and a 97.8% playoff probability, sitting five games clear of the Cubs in the NL Central. Milwaukee is firmly in buy mode, with identified needs at third base, shortstop, and home run power. The team ranks among the bottom three in MLB in home runs (78) and 20th in wRC+ against left-handed pitching. Their lack of power was exposed in last year's NLCS sweep by the Dodgers, making offensive upgrades a priority.

Brewers Call Up Garrett Stallings, Fill Last 40-Man Spot

Milwaukee selected Stallings' contract and optioned Robert Gasser to the ACL, trimming to a five-man rotation.

Misiorowski breaks his own velocity record, hints at more upside

The Brewers reliever has logged 569 pitches at 100 mph or better this season and says his record-breaking throw was accidental.

Jacob Misiorowski set a new personal velocity record this season and indicated the effort was not maximal, suggesting additional ceiling remains. He has now thrown 569 pitches at or above 100 mph in 2025. The performance underscores his status as one of the hardest throwers in MLB. This level of sustained elite velocity is a meaningful indicator of his continued dominance as a high-leverage reliever.
