Milwaukee Brewers DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras picked up a pair of hits to help lead his team to a 7-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Contreras went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI in the game. The veteran catcher picked up an RBI single in the third inning and followed that up with a solo homer in the seventh. Contreras is off to a slow start in 2025, hitting just .143 with one homer, six runs, and two RBI through 35 at-bats. He will hope his big night at the plate on Tuesday will get his bat going.

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Caleb Durbin went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, bringing his hit streak to six games while hitting safely in seven of eight. The former 14th-round draft pick is slashing .294/.333/.559 with two home runs and one stolen base to begin the year. He looked primed to make the Brewers' Opening Day roster after a strong spring showing, but was ultimately sent to Triple-A for more seasoning. With Brice Turang entrenched at second base and hitting well, Durbin's path to playing time is through shortstop or third base. Notably, Durbin was at third base on Tuesday, so it could be six-home run spring training star Vinny Capra who could be on the hot seat after an 0-for-4 night for the Brewers dropped his BA to .130. Whenever Durbin does get the call, he could be a significant source of stolen bases and is eligible at 2B, 3B, and SS on Yahoo!, giving him some added fantasy appeal.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio had a huge day at the plate in an 8-2 win over the Reds, hitting two homers and driving in five runs. The former top prospect started the season very cold but is now starting to turn things around. He is slashing .295/.289/.591 with three home runs, nine RBI, and six runs. He is looking to build off of his excellent rookie season where he hit .275 with 21 homers and 22 steals in 148 games. The youngster has a mix of power and speed that is extremely rare and could be a first-round draft pick in fantasy by 2026.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras is not in the starting lineup on Sunday when the Brewers conclude a series against the Cincinnati Reds. Contreras has started in each of the first nine games of the regular season. Instead, the Brewers will give catching duties to Eric Haase. He will bat in the nine-hole. This is a much-needed off day for Contreras as he has had a difficult start to the regular season. Through his first nine games, he has posted an underwhelming .097/.263/.097 line with just three hits and a 7:9 BB:K. Last summer, the 27-year-old was the most valuable catcher in fantasy as he posted a stellar .281/.365/.466 slash line with 23 home runs and nine stolen bases. Haase has tallied two hits, including a home run in his first three games, and is worth a look as a budget option in DFS facing right-hander Carson Spiers.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames went 3-for-7 at the plate with three RBI during their victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday afternoon. Adames would bring in his first run on an RBI double in the fifth inning, which scored LaMonte Wade Jr. Later in the 11th inning, Adames would deliver the winning hit as he knocked a two-run single to right field, which scored Luis Matos and Tyler Fitzgerald. This was a nice outing for Adames as he held a modest .130/.192/.174 slash line with just one extra-base hit across his first six games in the Bay. Last season, the 29-year-old enjoyed a career year in Milwaukee, posting a .251/.331/.462 slash line with 33 doubles, 32 long balls, and an impressive 112 RBI, which was the second-highest total in the NL. Adames will look to stay hot on Saturday, facing Seattle right-hander Bryce Miller.
