Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 victory versus the Padres.
Ortiz opened the scoring in the contest with a solo homer in the third inning. The infielder added an RBI on a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Ortiz badly needed this positive performance, as he entered Tuesday with no long balls and a .181 batting average through 94 plate appearances on the season. He's seen his playing time fluctuate but has started four of the Brewers' past five contests.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Hitless in return
Rotowire
Yelich went 0-for-4 in a 6-4 win against San Diego on Tuesday.
Yelich returned from a one-month absence necessitated by a strained left groin and worked as the Brewers' DH, slotting in third in the batting order. The veteran slugger looked rusty in his return, striking out twice while going hitless in four plate appearances. Nonetheless, Yelich is likely to be a lineup regular now that he's healthy again.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Secures save Tuesday
Rotowire
Uribe earned a save against the Padres on Tuesday, walking one batter and striking out one in a hitless and scoreless inning.
Uribe had a two-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth inning. The right-hander issued a one-out walk but otherwise didn't run into any trouble. Uribe picked up his second save in May and is now tied with Trevor Megill for the team lead with four saves on the season. Megill handled the eighth inning Tuesday and hasn't recorded a save since April 17, so Uribe seems to have the edge in terms of the ninth-inning role.

Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Notches first MLB victory
Rotowire
Sproat (1-2) earned the win over San Diego on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.
Sproat held the Padres out of the scoring column until Nick Castellanos banged a two-run single against him in the fourth frame. The righty hurler then served up a solo homer to Miguel Andujar in the sixth, but Milwaukee's offense gave him enough of a cushion to grab the win. The victory was the first of Sproat's big-league career in his 12th appearance (and 10th start). His ERA on the season still sits at an unattractive 5.75, though he has plenty to build off from Monday's outing. Beyond recording the victory, Sproat racked up 15 whiffs and reached five frames for the first time in his past three outings.
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Vaughn has gone 3-for-13 with three walks, a double and a homer in five games since coming off the injured list last week, though he finds himself on the bench Tuesday for the second time in Milwaukee's past three contests. Jake Bauers, who has an .850 OPS across 20 at-bats in May, will instead start at first base in the series opener versus San Diego.

Brewers' Akil Baddoo: Beginning rehab assignment
Rotowire
Baddoo (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Baddoo landed on the 60-day injured list before the season with a left quad strain that he suffered during spring training. He'll need ample rehab at-bats to knock the rust off and is not a lock to be added back to the active roster once he's physically ready.

Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Poised for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Zastryzny (shoulder/ribs) will resume a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Zastryzny began the season on the injured list with a shoulder strain before being pulled off a rehab assignment when he suffered an intercostal strain. The lefty reliever has hardly pitched the last two months, so he'll likely need at least a few rehab outings before being considered for activation.

Brewers' Tyler Black: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Black to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Black fared well in his brief stint with the big club, going 9-for-27 while plating seven runs in nine contests. However, with Christian Yelich (groin) back from the injured list, Black's playing time was likely to be further reduced. He'll play more regularly with Nashville.

Brewers' Jared Koenig: Resumes mound work
Rotowire
Koenig (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It will be his first time throwing from the bump since he went down with a sprained left elbow in early April. Koenig will need a rehab assignment before returning and is not expected back until late May or early June.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Bullpen on tap
Rotowire
Woodruff (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The veteran right-hander was cleared to resume throwing over the weekend after having fluid drained from his inflamed shoulder last week, and he'll quickly return to mound work after landing on the injured list May 1. Woodruff doesn't expect to need a lengthy buildup given the brevity of his absence, so it's possible he's back in Milwaukee's starting rotation before the end of May.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Out until mid-to-late June
Rotowire
Lockridge is expected to be sidelined until mid-to-late June after an MRI on his right knee showed a bone bruise, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Lockridge landed on the 10-day injured list this past weekend after hurting his knee when he crashed into a side wall in the outfield while trying to make a catch. He required stitches to close a deep laceration and has now been diagnosed with a bone bruise as well.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Yelich (groin) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
After spending a month on the injured list due to a strained left groin, Yelich is ready to rejoin the active roster ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Padres. The veteran slugger was hitting well prior to the injury with one homer, three steals and an .826 OPS through 15 games, and he should operate as Milwaukee's primary designated hitter now that he's healthy.

Brewers' Quinn Priester: Cleared to resume rehab assignment
Rotowire
Priester (shoulder) will resume a rehab assignment this weekend, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Priester went on the injured list before the season due to thoracic outlet syndrome and had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment earlier this month because of right shoulder soreness. He showed diminished velocity and posted a 16.20 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and 5:8 K:BB across five innings in his first three rehab starts, so Priester has a lot to prove before convincing the Brewers he's ready to reclaim a spot in the rotation.
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: No longer slowed by sore foot
Rotowire
Pratt (foot) has appeared in six games after sitting out May 5 due to foot soreness.
Pratt was briefly held out at Triple-A Nashville with a minor foot issue, but he managed to avoid a trip to the injured list. He's struggled a bit at the dish over his last six games, as he's 3-for-24 with one home run, four RBI, two stolen bases and five runs scored.

Brewers' Greg Jones: Clears waivers
Rotowire
The Brewers outrighted Jones to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Jones will stick around in the Milwaukee organization after the Brewers designated him for assignment last week. While serving in a utility role during his three-week stay with the big club, Jones went 2-for-21 with a 0:9 BB:K.
Henderson didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.
The 24-year-old right-hander was taken deep for the first time this season, but it was still a productive outing overall against a tough Yankees lineup. Henderson fired 54 of his 74 pitches for strikes in his third major-league start of 2026, so it looks like Milwaukee is easing him into its rotation. Although he has a shaky 4.15 ERA through 13 innings, Henderson does boast a 16:2 K:BB and 0.92 WHIP and will be looking to crack the 80-pitch marker in his next scheduled start versus the Twins.
