Walks it off against Mets Mitchell went 1-for-2 with a walkoff solo home run in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Mets.

Impact He wasn't in the starting lineup, but Mitchell came on as a pinch hitter for Mike Brosseau in the sixth inning and remained in the game, giving him a chance to play hero in the ninth. Mitchell is enjoying a great start to the season, batting .300 (6-for-20) through six games with three homers, five RBI and six runs, but as yet the 24-year-old speedster hasn't stolen a base after going 8-for-8 on the basepaths last year in only 28 big-league games.

Launches two homers Mitchell went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Mets.

Impact The 24-year-old followed Rowdy Tellez's and Brian Anderson's homers during the sixth inning with one of his own, and Mitchell and Anderson teamed up again for back-to-back shots in the seventh. Mitchell isn't a major power threat and hit just seven long balls across 92 games between Double-A, Triple-A and the majors last season, but he can still provide enough pop to reach double-digit homers, assuming he's able to retain a regular spot in the lineup all season.

Impact Mitchell wound up missing a week and a half of action with right hamstring tightness. His offense is a work in progress, but he should be an asset in the stolen-base department for fantasy managers in 2023 as long as he's playing regularly, which appears to be the plan.

Target return pushed back Brewers manager Craig Counsell said the team will "go slow" in working Mitchell back from his right hamstring injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Starts running again Mitchell (hamstring) resumed running Monday but isn't expected to return to Cactus League games until this weekend, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

If healthy, Mitchell looks to be the clear favorite to open the season as the Brewers' starting center fielder.

Doing well Mitchell (hamstring) is doing well and should return to the lineup in about a week, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell left Thursday's game against the Giants due to right hamstring tightness, and while the injury will cost him some exhibition games, it looks like his readiness for Opening Day won't be affected.

The speedy outfielder has had an impressive spring thus far, slashing .353/.353/.941 with three home runs and six RBI through 17 plate appearances.
