The Milwaukee Brewers National League Division Series roster has been revealed.
The Milwaukee Brewers have officially revealed their roster for the 2026 National League Division Series.
Is this the team that will finally break through and get the Brewers to a World Series? Only time will tell.
Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson were two locks on the pitching staff as manager Pat Murphy announced the Game 1 and Game 2 starters.
From there, most of the expected names made the cut, including both Dustin May and Kyle Harrison.
Offensively, the only player with a question mark was Joey Ortiz, but he was indeed listed as one of the infielders.
Brewers NLDS roster
- Infielders: Jake Bauers, David Hamilton, Joey Ortiz, Cooper Pratt, Brice Turang, Andrew Vaughn
- Outfielders: Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, Luis Lara, Garrett Mitchell, Christian Yelich
- Catchers: William Contreras, Gary Sanchez
- Pitchers: Aaron Ashby, Shane Drohan, Robert Gasser, DL Hall, Kyle Harrison, Logan Henderson, Dustin May, Trevor Megill, Jacob Misiorowski, Chad Patrick, JoJo Romero, Antonio Senzatela, Abner Uribe
Brewers are only carrying two catchers
The Brewers don't have a ton of flexibility at the catcher position, but they didn't feel it was necessary to have Bo Naylor take up a spot on the postseason roster.
Sanchez could easily come into a game to be a designated hitter, as in all likelihood, Contreras will be catching every single game of the postseason.
Neither player has much speed, so if they're ever pulled for a pinch-running situation, that's when things could get interesting.
Vaughn and Ortiz are good to go
Vaughn had been dealing with a sickness and Ortiz is battling through a few minor injuries, but other than that this squad is good to go.
There didn't seem to be a world where they called anyone up, especially at this point in the season. The infield unit of Bauers, Turang, Pratt, and then Ortiz/Hamilton will do the job just fine, especially with Bauers being able to play in the outfield in order to get Vaughn in as the first baseman.
Harrison and May made the cut
If there was a pitcher out of these two to miss the roster, it would've been Harrison. Not only has he struggled big time on the road, but he's struggled even more on the West Coast.
Milwaukee would love to take care of business in this series as soon as possible, but no matter what, they've brought their best bullpen arms with them.
Either Patrick or Drohan could be used as an opener, if necessary, and then the likes of Ashby, Hall, Senzatela, Romero, Uribe, and Megill will hold things down in the bullpen.
