Luis Perdomo - Feels great in spring training Perdomo said, "I feel great physically," after throwing two scoreless innings in spring training, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Perdomo's sinker reached 93 mph in Saturday'...

Impact After undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2020, Perdomo is reportedly a "dark horse" candidate for the Brewers. Throughout Perdomo's career of 444.1 innings, he has a 5.19 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 16.9% K%, and 8.2% BB%. Although Perdomo is a non-roster invitee, the Brewers have a track record of developing pitchers.

Luis Urías - Needs tests on left quad Urias will undergo tests on his left quad after exiting Saturday's game against the Rangers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urias suffered the injury while running the bases and left with a team trainer. The severity of the injury should become clear once the results of his tests are known. If he's forced to hit the injured list, Jace Peterson could see extra at-bats in the Brewers' infield early in the season.

Impact Urias was advancing from first base on a Pedro Severino double in the top of the third, but he pulled up as he rolled into third base despite being waved home. The exact nature of Urias' injury isn't yet clear, and it's not yet known whether the issue will force him to miss time this spring.

Will the Andrew McCutchen deal be enough to bolster the Brewers' offense? David Stearns knows the pitching-rich Brewers need to score more runs: "We think some of the moves we've made will help us to do that."

Andrew McCutchen - Set to fill DH role Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said Wednesday that McCutchen will see most of his starts at designated hitter in 2022, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stearns comments came after the Brewers officially announced McCutchen's signing to a one-year, $8.5 million. According to Sammon, the Brewers aren't viewing McCutchen as an option in center field, though the five-time All-Star could fill in as a left or right fielder whenever projected starters Christian Yelich and Hunter Renfroe need a day off. McCutchen is coming off a 2021 campaign with the Phillies in which he slugged 27 home runs -- his best total since 2017 -- but a career-worst .222 average capped his overall fantasy utility.

Devin Williams - Working on new pitch Williams is working on a slider or cutter this spring, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Williams threw a slider in the minors but hasn't used it much in the majors. His elite changeup is the pitch that carries his profile, but an additional secondary could give him an unexpected additional weapon and could make his changeup even better if hitters aren't able to sit on it quite as much.

Andrew McCutchen - Reaches deal with Brewers McCutchen agreed to a contract with the Brewers on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Philadelphia declined McCutchen's $15 million option for 2022 back in November, and the veteran outfielder will continue his career in Milwaukee. The Brewers already have an established outfield group with Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain, Hunter Renfroe and Tyrone Taylor, but the introduction of the designated hitter to the National League opens up some at-bats. McCutchen had a .778 OPS with 27 home runs and 80 RBI in 144 games last season, though he did most of that damage against left-handed pitching with a .293/.405/.622 slash line in 195 plate appearances.
