Brewers activate OF Garrett Mitchell from 60-day IL The playoff-bound Milwaukee Brewers reinstated outfielder Garrett Mitchell from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Activated from 60-day IL The Brewers activated Mitchell (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Mitchell finished off an eight-game minor-league rehab assignment Sunday and further proved his health during a couple of simulated games this week in Milwaukee. Sidelined since April 18 due to a shoulder injury that eventually required surgery, the 25-year-old center fielder can offer a boost to the Brewers offensively and defensively as they play out the final four games of the regular season and head into the playoffs. Mitchell has slashed .286/.341/.462 in 130 career major-league plate appearances dating back to his debut in August of 2022.

Aiming for postseason return Mitchell (shoulder) said Tuesday that he is optimistic about being included on the Brewers' postseason roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact There was talk of Mitchell being activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Cardinals, but the target has now apparently shifted to Oct. 3 -- which would be Game 1 of the Wild Card Series -- because Milwaukee doesn't want to make a roster move. The 25-year-old outfielder has been taking simulated at-bats as he nears the end of his recovery from May 2 surgery to repair a subluxation and labrum damage in his left shoulder.

Expected to return Tuesday Mitchell (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell required surgery back in early May to repair a subluxation and labrum damage in his left shoulder. While the Brewers have not yet confirmed he will return Tuesday, McCalvy notes that all signs point to it happening. Mitchell batted only .188/.257/.250 with three steals in eight rehab games with Triple-A Nashville, although he did collect four hits in his final 10 at-bats. With Sal Frelick taking over in center field and Tyrone Taylor swinging a hot bat in right, Mitchell could find playing time hard to come by down the stretch following a long layoff.

Cleared for rehab assignment Mitchell (shoulder) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact There was fear that Mitchell had been lost for the season when he injured his shoulder sliding into third base April 18, but his chances of returning to Milwaukee before the end of the season are seemingly brighter than ever. Mitchell will likely remain in Nashville for the remainder of the Triple-A season, but he could join the Brewers for the final week of the year and a potential postseason run. The speedy outfielder holds a .286/.341/.462 slash line across 130 plate appearances in his career.

Closing in on rehab assignment Mitchell (shoulder) is set to meet with a doctor Thursday or Friday and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville as soon as this weekend, Curt Hogg of the...

Impact Mitchell opened the season as the Brewers' everyday center fielder and was off to a solid start with a .259 average, three home runs and one stolen base in 16 games before suffering a left shoulder subluxation and associated labrum damage that required surgery May 2. Though the Brewers had some fear that the procedure would sideline Mitchell for the rest of the season, he's healed up well over the last few months and appears to be on the cusp of returning to game action. Hogg notes that Mitchell is expected to remain on assignment at Triple-A until Nashville's season ends Sept. 24, so any potential return from the 60-day injured list likely wouldn't come until the final week of the Brewers' regular season.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doctor consultation on tap Mitchell (shoulder) will have a doctor consultation at the end of the week to determine when he can get back in games, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Hogg notes things are trending positively for Mitchell. Back on Aug. 22, Mitchell told Adam McCalvy of MLB.com that he hoped to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville around Sept. 19. It seems like things are right on track, and Mitchell still has a chance to join the big club before the end of the season.

Making progress with shoulder Mitchell (shoulder) said Tuesday that he's hoping to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville around Sept. 19, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact That would be the final week of the Triple-A regular season, and it could put Mitchell in line to return to the Brewers for the final week of the MLB regular season. The 24-year-old outfielder required surgery back in early May to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, but he's been performing most baseball activities without issue over the last couple of weeks.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes shoulder surgery Mitchell underwent scheduled surgery Tuesday to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell is likely done for the remainder of the 2023 season, though Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Thursday that there is a sliver of hope he could return very late in the year. Mitchell injured his shoulder April 18 on a slide into third base. Joey Wiemer has been drawing the majority of starts in center field for Milwaukee in recent weeks.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Journal Sentinel Despite missing the likes of Brandon Woodruff, Aaron Ashby, Luis Urías and Garrett Mitchell, Milwaukee is still in second place in the NL Central.

MAY 1, 2023 • JSONLINE.COM

Transferred to 60-day IL The Brewers transferred Mitchell (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's a procedural move that clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Brewers that was needed after the team traded for Trevor Megill. Mitchell underwent surgery on his left shoulder Tuesday, and it's very possible that the speedy outfielder will miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will undergo surgery Mitchell will have surgery on his left shoulder after receiving a second opinion Tuesday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact After suffering significant damage to his labrum while sliding into third base last week against Seattle, Mitchell will now officially undergo surgery. The speedy center fielder will likely be held out of action until the final weeks of the season, if not the rest of it. Since Mitchell's injury, Joey Wiemer has received the majority of reps in center field for Milwaukee, but that could change once Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Sal Frelick (thumb) recover from their respective injuries.

Could need shoulder surgery Mitchell could be facing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell was placed on the injured list Wednesday after dislocating his shoulder in multiple places Tuesday night against the Mariners. Imaging scans have since revealed significant damage to his labrum and he will likely require a surgical repair. The 24-year-old outfielder is first seeking out a second opinion, but it seems like the writing is on the wall that his 2023 campaign is already over. Mitchell had posted a .772 OPS with three home runs and one stolen base through 16 games this year with the NL Central-leading Brewers.

To have MRI on injured shoulder Mitchell will undergo an MRI on his injured left shoulder Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday after suffering multiple left shoulder subluxations late in Tuesday's game against the Mariners. The imaging scans should help the Brewers get a better idea of the severity and might yield a projected timeline for the young outfielder's return. Joey Wiemer and Owen Miller are expected to be the primary options in center field while Mitchell is in recovery mode. Recent callup Blake Perkins could factor in as well.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IL The Brewers placed Mitchell (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left shoulder subluxation, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Mitchell wore a sling Wednesday morning and is indeed dealing with an IL-worthy shoulder injury. It's unclear how long the center fielder, who's slashing .259/.306/.466 with three home runs this season, will be on the shelf.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wearing sling Mitchell (shoulder) was spotted in the Brewers' clubhouse Wednesday wearing a sling on his left arm, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The rookie outfielder had to exit Tuesday's game against the Mariners with a left shoulder subluxation. The team is expected to provide more on Mitchell's status later Wednesday, but the fact that he's wearing a sling certainly wouldn't appear to be a good sign.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with shoulder subluxation Mitchell left in the 10th inning against the Mariners with a shoulder subluxation, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Mitchell left the contest after making a throw home in the bottom of the 10th that couldn't get Ty France at the plate. The outfielder appeared to pick up the injury after he banged into third base on a slide in the top of the frame. Mitchell is day-to-day and currently receiving treatment, but all but assuredly will be out Wednesday for the series finale against Seattle.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with potential injury Mitchell has left Tuesday's game against the Mariners in the bottom of the 10th with a potential injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell made hard contact into third base in the top of the inning, and then left the game after making a throw home in the bottom of the 10th. Mike Brousseau has replaced Mitchell and taken over at third base with Brian Anderson moving to right field and Joey Wiemer now in center.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores lone run Sunday Mitchell went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Padres.

Impact Mitchell scored the Brewers only run of the afternoon and it proved to be enough after Wade Miley fired seven shutout frames and the bullpen took care of the rest. The 24-year-old reached base in the second inning on a bunt single. A Yu Darvish balk got him over to second base and then he stole third before being driven home on a sacrifice fly to left field off the bat of Brian Anderson. It was Mitchell's first stolen base of the year, and plenty more should be expected after he had eight in just 28 games last season.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Friday Mitchell is not in the lineup Friday against the Padres.

Impact Mitchell went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Thursday's series opener at San Diego, but he still holds a shiny .884 OPS through 46 total plate appearances on the year. This looks to be a routine day off. Joey Wiemer is starting in center field and batting ninth.
