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

The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) from the 60-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. The Brewers also designated infielder Owen Miller for assignment. It remains to be seen if Mitchell will be in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, but whenever he gets into a game, it will be his season debut after missing the first three months of 2024 with a fractured finger. There's a crowded outfield already in Milwaukee, so fantasy managers can't expect the former first-rounder to see regular playing time among Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio. In 12 minor-league rehab games for Nashville, Mitchell looked good, hitting .318 with four home runs and four steals.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (hamstring) left Wednesday's rehab game in the ninth inning due to a hamstring injury, according to Jack Stern of the Brewer Fanatic. Mitchell was enjoying a nice game where he tallied two hits including one double and a round-tripper with two RBI. This was Mitchell's tenth game at Triple-A during the stint and 12th overall rehab game. During these rehab games, Mitchell has performed very well with a .298/.411/.596 line. The former UCLA Bruin was nearing a return to the majors but may have to wait a bit longer with this minor setback. Dynasty managers should pay close attention to Michell's status during the weekend.

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Garrett Mitchell (hand) was 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. On a rehab assignment, Mitchell is hitting .269 with three homers and six RBI in six games for Nashville. The 25-year-old is rounding back into form after missing a good portion of the season with a fractured bone in his left hand. If he has a few more games like the one on Thursday, he should push for a return to Milwaukee soon. His plus speed makes him an intriguing waiver-wire addition in leagues of all sizes upon his return to the Brewers.
