José Ureña - Inks MiLB deal with Brewers Urena signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Urena spent last season in Detroit and appeared in 26 games (18 starts) with a 5.81 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 67:42 K:BB over 100.2 innings. The right-hander should report to big-league camp for the final stages of spring training, but he'll likely open the season at Triple-A Nashville since the Brewers have an established rotation.

Brewers rotation weighs in: What pitch would they steal from their fellow starters? Corbin Burnes' cutter? Freddy Peralta's slider? Adrian Houser's sinker? The Brewers' starters made their choice, but it wasn't easy.

Mike Brosseau - Returns to lineup Brosseau (illness) will bat ninth and play third base Tuesday against the Guardians.
Impact Brosseau hadn't played since leaving Friday's game against the Athletics with an illness, but he appears to be healthy again now. He'll resume his fight for a bench spot and could earn starts early in the year at third base with Luis Urias out with a quadriceps issue. A temporary platoon between the right-handed Brosseau and the left-handed Jace Peterson could be the Brewers' solution.

MARCH 29, 2022 • MLB.COM
Corbin Burnes - Handed Opening Day nod Manager Craig Counsell confirmed Tuesday that Burnes will start the Brewers' Opening Day game April 7 against the Cubs in Chicago, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Though rotation mate Brandon Woodruff (2.56 ERA, 0.96 WHIP in 179.1 innings in 2021) would be a quality Opening Day starter for just about any other team, Burnes was the obvious top choice to take the hill for the Brewers' season opener fresh off winning his first Cy Young Award. While Milwaukee may choose to implement a six-man rotation for portions of the season in an effort to keep all of its starters fresh, Burnes should once again rank among the best pitchers in the league on a per-outing basis. He led all qualified starters in 2021 with a 30.4 K-BB%, with his ability to make bats miss, limit walks and suppress home runs helping him finish with a 1.63 FIP, 2.00 xERA and 2.30 xFIP. Those underlying numbers suggest he was even more dominant than his elite 2.43 ERA over 167 innings would indicate.

Tyler White - Heads to MiLB camp The Brewers reassigned White to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact White has logged 859 career plate appearances at the MLB level between stops with the Astros and Dodgers, but he hasn't surfaced in the majors since 2019. After a one-year stint in South Korea in 2020, White returned stateside in 2021 and spent the entire campaign with the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. He's expected to head to Triple-A Nashville with his new organization for the start of the 2022 season.

Mark Mathias - Dispatched to minors The Brewers reassigned Mathias to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Mathias is healthy again after missing the entire 2021 campaign while recovering from right shoulder surgery, but he'll likely have to produce at Triple-A Nashville before garnering another look from the big club. The 27-year-old utility man made his big-league debut with the Brewers in 2020, seeing action in 16 games and hitting .278 with three doubles and a stolen base across 36 plate appearances.

Luis Urías - Will open on injured list Urias (quadriceps) will open the season on the injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Urias injured his left quadriceps while running the bases in mid-March. He ran on the field Saturday -- one week after he suffered the injury -- and he's expected to resume swinging and playing catch soon. If he continues progressing without setbacks, he'll have the chance to avoid a long absence, but he'll miss at least a bit of time to start the year. Jace Peterson has the inside track on a temporary starting role at third base in his absence.
MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Kelley - Sent to MiLB camp The Brewers reassigned Kelley to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact He's expected to open the season at Triple-A Nashville. Kelley last appeared in the majors in 2020 with the Phillies, pitching in four games out of the bullpen and giving up four earned runs over 3.1 innings.
MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Davis - Sent to minor-league camp The Brewers reassigned Davis to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Davis' speed and ability to play all three outfield spots give him some value as an organizational depth piece for Milwaukee, but his status as a non-roster invitee at spring training realistically made him a long shot for the Opening Day roster. He's expected to open the season at Triple-A Nashville and will likely need an outfielder or two on the MLB roster to succumb to an injury before he receives a call-up to Milwaukee.
MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
David Dahl - Set to open season in minors The Brewers reassigned Dahl to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Coming off a 2021 campaign in which he slashed .210/.247/.322 over 220 big-league plate appearances with the Rangers, Dahl was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with Milwaukee in free agency. Though he was given the chance to compete for a bench job with the big club in spring training, Dahl ultimately wasn't able to make enough of an impression to push his way on to the Opening Day roster. He's expected to begin the campaign at Triple-A Nashville, where he'll look to stay healthy and show some semblance of the power/speed combination that once made him a prized prospect in the Rockies system.
MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rex Brothers - Cut from big-league camp The Brewers reassigned Brothers to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Unless he and the Brewers agree to mutually part ways later in spring training, Brothers is expected to report to Triple-A Nashville to begin the 2022 campaign. The veteran lefty made 57 big-league appearances out of the Cubs bullpen in 2021, logging a 5.26 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 75:35 K:BB in 53 innings.
MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Abraham Almonte - Goes to MiLB camp The Brewers reassigned Almonte to their minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Almonte's nine years' worth of MLB experience weren't enough for him to break camp with the Brewers as a reserve outfielder. He'll likely head to Triple-A Nashville to begin the 2022 campaign.
