Garrett Mitchell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (hand) is going to open the regular season on the injured list. This is a tough break after Mitchell recently underwent X-rays on his hand that swelled up on him. The X-rays revealed that Mitchell suffered a fracture in his left hand, which is going to cost him some time. The organization has not given a timetable for Mitchell, but they likely will in the coming weeks. The loss of Mitchell means that Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Sam Frelick will open the season as the starting outfielders in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (hand) is scheduled for an X-rays on Monday on his hand after it swelled up a bit on Sunday after being jammed on a swing. Although the results of his X-rays aren't back yet, Mitchell said he feels fine and played catch with no issues on Monday. We'll have more information on the 25-year-old's X-rays, but for now, it looks like he avoided a serious injury and shouldn't have to start the 2024 regular season on the injured list. The former 20th overall pick in 2020 out of UCLA only played in 19 games in 2023 after needing surgery on his shoulder. There's a lot to like about Mitchell's plate discipline and his speed, but it could be hard for him to carve out regular playing time in Milwaukee's crowded outfield in what will be his first full MLB season if he can stay healthy.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielderGarrett Mitchellwent 1-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 11-5 spring win against the Kansas City Royals. It was Wilson's first homer this spring. The 25-year-old has performed well this spring, slashing .319/.385/.811 in 47 AB. Wilson missed much of last year with a shoulder injury and may struggle to find a starting spot in Milwaukee's crowded outfield. ATC currently projects 415 PA for Wilson with a .240/.312/.376 slash line and 15 stolen bases. With MLB Pipeline's No. 2 prospectJackson Chourio making the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Mitchell may be the odd man out in the Brewers's outfield and is at risk of limited playing time even if healthy, making him mainly a stash in deep-league formats.
