Triple-A Nashville Sounds (11-9)
Luis Lara (No. 11): 7-for-22, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 6 K, 3 SB
Jett Williams (No. 3): 7-for-22, 2B, 3B, HR, 3 RBI, 5 BB, 6 K
Jeferson Quero (No. 8): 4-for-19, 6 RBI, 7 K
Brock Wilken (No. 21): 4-for-15, 4 RBI, 9 BB
Eddys Leonard: 6-for-16, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 5 K
Shane Drohan (No. 24): 10 1/3 IP, 11 H, 3 ER, 11 K, 3 BB
Logan Henderson (No. 7): 3 IP, 2 H 1 ER, 3 BBs, 4 Ks
Tate Kuehner: 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 Hs, 1 BB, 5 Ks
Luis Lara has continued to produce for the Sounds, hitting .318 with an .832 OPS over 22 at-bats this week. The Brewers’ top outfield prospect (aside from Jett Williams) is now slashing .352/.446/.507 in his first 71 at-bats with Nashville. Injuries and ineffectiveness have plagued Milwaukee’s outfield early in the season — if Lara keeps this up for even a couple more weeks, he might see himself in a Brewers uniform this summer.
Another player that probably won’t spend the whole season in Triple-A is Williams, who had three extra-base hits while walking almost exactly as much as he struck out. Williams is still only hitting .219 (.653 OPS), but this week’s performance served as a reminder why he’s considered one of the best prospects in the organization. Jeferson Quero didn’t hit for a high average this week but came through in the clutch with more RBIs (6) than hits (4).
Brock Wilken has had a rough start to the season (7-for-60 with 24 K). Wilken hit 18 home runs in 79 games last year but only has one through 19 games in 2026. Still, four of those seven hits came this week, which — along with his nine walks — is a sign that he’s starting to figure things out at the plate.
Shane Drohan served as the staff’s workhorse, giving up more than a hit per inning but limiting Worcester to three earned runs over 10 1/3 innings. Logan Henderson and Tate Kuehner also put together solid outings this week.
Next week’s opponent: @ Charlotte Knights (Chicago White Sox)
Double-A Biloxi Shuckers (7-8)
Dylan O’Rae: 8-for-23, 3 2B, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 5 BB, 2 K
Jesús Made (No. 1): 7-for-24, 3 2B, 3B, HR, 3 RBIs, 5 BB, 2 K
Eduardo Garcia: 7-for-25, 2B, HR
Jaron DeBerry: 5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
Tyson Hardin (No. 18): 6 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
One of Biloxi’s standout players early in the season has been shortstop Dylan O’Rae, the Brewers’ 2022 third-round pick. He raked at the lower levels of the minors before being promoted to Double-A midway through the 2024 season, where he struggled. O’Rae ended up missing the entire 2025 season to a wrist injury, but he’s back and has been seeing the ball well — hitting over .300 in back-to-back weeks. He’s worth keeping an eye on as he gets his feet under him.
Jesús Made continues to do Jesús Made things, drawing Jose Ramirez comparisons with a monster week that included five extra-base hits. He now has a 1.019 OPS, making him a candidate for a Triple-A call-up — although that probably wouldn’t happen until Jett Williams debuts with the Brewers.
DeBerry and Hardin were the only Biloxi pitchers to go more than three innings and record an ERA of 3 or under. Blake Burke (4-for-24, HR) and Mike Boeve (5-for-20, 10 K) both had down weeks.
Next week’s opponent: vs. Rocket City Trash Pandas (Los Angeles Angels)
High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (8-5)
Josh Adamczewski (No. 10): 6-for-16, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 4 BB, 5 K
Daniel Dickinson (No. 29): 7-for-16, 1 BB, 3 K
Josiah Ragsdale: 5-for-16, 2B, HR, 3 BB, 6 K
Andrew Fischer (No. 5): 5-for-15, 3 2B, 3 RBI, 4 BB, 4 K
Luis Peña (No. 2): 4-for-15, HR, 1 BB, 2 K
Braylon Payne (No. 13): 5-for-12, 1 HR, 4 R, 4 BB, 3 K
Braylon Owens: 7 1/3 IP, 3 ERs, 6 Hs, 3 BBs, 13 Ks
Bryce Meccage (No. 21): 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
Pretty much every highly-ranked position player prospect on the Timber Rattlers has showed up to start the season. Josh Adamczewski (1.302), Luis Peña (1.059), and Braylon Payne (1.011) all have an OPS over 1.000 through the first thirteen games of the season. Marco Dinges (.955) isn’t far off of Peña and Payne.
Andrew Fischer is slashing .256/.375/.419 with 11 RBI, tied with Adamczewski for the team lead. The 20 strikeouts in 43 at-bats stand out, but there’s little reason for concern at this stage.
For one, Fischer was able to significantly reduce his strikeout rate during his final college season, showing an ability to adjust his approach while maintaining success at the plate. This is also his first full year in pro ball, so some week-to-week volatility is expected as he gets used to higher-level pitching. The strikeouts are worth monitoring, but the overall profile remains encouraging — especially if his K rate begins to stabilize over the next few weeks. Even while striking out so often, he’s still producing an OPS near .800.
Luis Peña needed some time to adjust to High-A last season, but whatever he did this offseason is already paying off. Peña is now slashing .400/.488/.571 with just six strikeouts on the year. He’s totaled three extra-base hits so far, but he’s only 19 — the power should show up in games sooner rather than later. Hard to nitpick a teenager who’s hitting .400 while making this much contact.
It’s been a tougher introduction to High-A for Eric Bitonti (No. 25), who has struck out in 18 of his first 37 at-bats (48.6%). The raw power is still very real — arguably among the best in the system — but it hasn’t translated yet, with just one home run to this point.
Next week’s opponent: @ Fort Wayne TinCaps (San Diego Padres)
Single-A Wilson Warbirds (6-9)
José Anderson: 5-for-20, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 1 BB, 12 K
Luiyin Alastre: 5-for-19, 2 2B, 1 BB, 6 K
Juan Ortuno: 5-for-19, 3 BB, 6 K
Tyler Renz: 2 GS, 9 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 HR, 6 BB, 7 K
The Warbirds’ offense struggled again this week, as no player with 10 or more at-bats hit above .263. Jose Anderson, who now leads Wilson with three home runs on the season, put together another solid week despite striking out 12 times in 20 at-bats. Brady Ebel went 3-for-19, although he walked more than he struck out. Jadyn Fielder went 1-for-8 with a double, three walks, and four strikeouts.
Tyler Renz started two games for Wilson and pitched well in both, ending the week with a 2.00 ERA. Renz, a 2024 18th-round pick, is still just 19 years old and had a 3.19 ERA last year between rookie ball and High-A. His ERA is down to 1.93 through 14 innings this season despite walking twice as many batters per nine innings (6.43) as he did last year (3.04).
Next week’s opponent: @ Delmarva Shorebirds (Baltimore Orioles)
As always, there were a few strong candidates, but Josh Adamczewski clearly separated himself this week.
Adamczewski slashed .375/.524/1.125 with four home runs over the past seven days alone. He wasn’t ranked among the MLB Pipeline top 30 Brewers prospects entering last season, but with the graduation of Brandon Sproat he’s now inside the top 10. If you throw out the seven at-bats he logged in 2023, he’s posted an OPS of .900 or better in every season since joining the organization.
Adamczewski’s overall line this season borders on absurd: .310/.474/.828 (yes, that’s his slugging percentage, not his OPS) with five home runs in just 29 at-bats.
As of now, he’s still listed as an infielder, but he’s not a standout defender there — especially compared to players like Cooper Pratt, Made, and Peña. The Brewers are clearly prioritizing finding ways to get Adamczewski’s bat in the lineup, so they’ve been giving him most of his reps in the outfield dating back to the Arizona Fall League. That’s carried over into the regular season. Adamczewski has started every game this year in left field, with just one appearance at second base (coming as a late-game defensive substitution).
Here’s Luis Lara getting up to rob Nick Sogard of a home run. I hope Pat Murphy saw this.
