Garrett Mitchell DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has been making slow progress since his injury in April. Mitchell suffered an oblique strain in late April and is likely to miss two months of action because of it. The organization was hopeful that Mitchell would be back on the roster by now. Sadly, Mitchell isn't making great progress, so he'll probably miss another month. Brewers manager Pat Murphy believes Mitchell should be back in the mix in early July. Mitchell isn't a great fantasy option, but is worth rostering in NL-only formats.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique. Mitchell exited Friday's contest early due to oblique tightness, and Saturday's MRI confirmed the strain. The 26-year-old could use the time on the IL to reset, as he was off to a very slow start at the plate, slashing .206/.286/.294 with no home runs, a .264 wOBA, and a 65 wRC+ over 25 games. The former first-round pick has battled various injuries already in his short major league career, and has yet to log more than 69 games in a season, so hopefully this won't keep him out longer than expected, and maybe he can get back on track offensively. Daz Cameron was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take his place, but hasn't offered much in the way of fantasy production during his previous stints in the majors, so is probably best left to the waiver wire for now.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has been removed early during Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It's unclear how Mitchell suffered the injury, but he was taken out in the fourth inning due to oblique tightness. This is sometimes a tricky injury, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Mitchell land on the injured list. The assumption is the Brewers will do further testing to determine the significance of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Mitchell as day-to-day until more information is revealed.
