Soriano, 26, was struck in the right forearm by a 107.4 mph line drive off the bat of Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers. The comebacker, which came during a bases-loaded situation with one out, left Soriano grimacing in pain, though he walked off the field unassisted. The team later confirmed that Soriano was removed <a href="https://x.com/LAAngelsPR/status/1968474683843440780" rel="noopener">due to a right forearm contusion</a>, and the X-rays came back negative with no fracture.</p><p>Soriano, one of the Angels’ most reliable starters, has had a career-high season in 2025. Entering the game, he had thrown 169 innings across 31 starts, posting a 10-10 record, a 4.10 ERA, and 152 strikeouts to 78 walks. He also leads all Major League starters with a 65.4% ground-ball rate and ranks sixth in road ERA among starters at 2.66. With Tyler Anderson on the injured list, Jack Kochanowicz in Triple-A Salt Lake, and rookies Caden Dana and Mitch Farris filling the rotation, Soriano’s departure leaves the Angels’ pitching staff exceptionally thin.</p><p>The incident came in a five-run second inning for the Brewers, bookended by Sal Frelick’s three-run homer and Blake Perkins’ opposite-field single that cleared the bases. Connor Brogdon, who replaced Soriano, was unable to escape the jam, allowing all three inherited runners to score along with two more, aggravating the Angels’ difficulties.</p><p>The Brewers, now 93-59, have pulled five games ahead of the Cubs in the NL Central with 10 games remaining, and Brandon Woodruff unleashed another strong outing, striking out nine over five innings while walking none and lowering his season ERA to 3.20. The Angels, meanwhile, entered the game at 69-82, firmly at the bottom of the AL West <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-angels/angels-news-los-angeles-hits-new-low-with-longest-playoff-drought-in-mlb">and recently eliminated from playoff contention</a>.</p><p>Offense continued to elude Los Angeles on Wednesday, as all four runs in the two-game series against Milwaukee came on solo homers, including two by Taylor Ward. The Brewers’ combination of pitching mastery and incisive hitting, led by Frelick and Perkins, relentlessly flustered the Angels’ lineup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Yelich is aging like fine wine, and his excellent age-33 season continued on Tuesday, when he went 3-5 from the plate with one home run and three runs batted in in a 9-2 win for the NL Central-leading Brewers.</p><p>It was a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-what-amazing-christian-yelich-return-back-injury">concern for the Brewers when Yelich suffered a back injury</a> earlier in the month, but it doesn’t seem as though that is affecting him at the moment. He is swinging with both confidence and grace, and the Brewers star, in the process of doing so, inched ever more closely to a 30 home run, 100 runs batted in season after he recorded his 29th long ball of the season and his 99th RBI of the year on Tuesday.</p><p>All Brewers manager Pat Murphy could do was gush over the star designated hitter, whom he believes <a href="https://x.com/CyrtHogg/status/1968143818362093863" rel="noopener">will age quite gracefully</a> and allow him to be productive even in his late-30s.</p><p>“This is a kid who will play past his contract,” Murphy said, per Curt Hogg of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.</p><p>Yelich is under contract until he’s 37 years old, with him and the Brewers having a <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/player/_/id/14316/christian-yelich" rel="noopener">mutual option</a> for the 2029 season. A lot can happen between now and then, but with the way Yelich has been raking, he could certainly remain a fixture in Milwaukee’s lineup until that time — with the potential to be a major contributor even once the next decade begins.</p><p>The athleticism decline for Yelich has been clear, as he can no longer play the field on a regular basis. But as long as that bat remains quick, he’ll always have a home, and perhaps he’ll be calling Milwaukee his home until he calls it quits.</p><h2><b>Christian Yelich bounces back from injury-ravaged 2024 for the Brewers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Christian-Yelich-2_790e3b.jpg"><figcaption>Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Yelich was hitting at an MVP level in 2024, slashing .315/.406/.504 and just overall being a force to be reckoned with in the Brewers lineup. However, his bounce-back season came to a premature end, with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-christian-yelich-dealt-brutal-injury-update-amid-back-concern">back surgery ending his triumphant</a> 2024 campaign.</p><p>Nonetheless, Yelich is back and his power production has also returned. He hasn’t hit over 20 home runs in a season yet this decade, but now, he’s approaching the 30-home run mark, and he remains a reliable source of offensive production for the league’s best team. The hope now is that he remains injury-free the rest of the way.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And if Milwaukee finds themselves in a win-or-go-home scenario, they’re hopeful Peralta would be the one to lead them towards success.</p><p>If that hypothetical outing looks anything like Tuesday’s, then the Brewers will be in good shape. Peralta is in the midst of arguably his best season in the major leagues. Even better for Milwaukee, he’s heating up right as the playoffs are set to begin.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I was more confused than anything,” he explained. Since the broadcast was live, he noted he had no choice but to carry on. “Now I had to continue the interview.

Monasterio and the rest of the roster chase wins, while the Cardinals fight to keep pace. Off the field, Rosenthal’s apology became part of the Brewers story for one unusual night. On the field, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-pat-murphy-bob-uecker-emotional-letter-postseason-clinch">Brewers ultimately clinched a postseason berth</a>, while the Cardinals dropped the series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hours after clinching the first playoff berth of the 2025 MLB season courtesy of the Mets’ 3-2 loss to Texas, the Brewers showed why they’ve earned the league’s best record. Trailing the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1, they clawed their way back, tied the game late, <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/breaking-news/article/brewers-clinch-mlbs-first-playoff-spot-then-rally-to-walk-off-cardinals-in-extra-innings-045009005.html" rel="noopener">and walked it off in the 10th inning</a> on Andruw Monasterio’s single that scored Caleb Durbin.</p><p>Durbin, who doubled in the 10th and came around with the winning run, summed it up simply when speaking with FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal: “It’s been our brand of ball all year. Even if you go down early, take it at-bat by at-bat, keep grinding it out, and see what happens.”</p><p>That approach has defined Milwaukee’s season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/3-brewers-who-must-step-up-alongside-christian-yelich-in-playoffs">The Brewers have stunned the baseball world by not only clinching early</a> but also holding an MLB-best 91-58 record, powered by resilience, timely hitting, and an unshakable belief in manager Pat Murphy’s “win tonight” philosophy.</p><h2><b>Brewers are the first team to clinch a Postseason berth in 2025</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jacob-Misiorowski.jpg"><figcaption>Benny Sieu-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Against St. Louis, Milwaukee’s offense roared to life late, scoring seven runs in the final three innings to turn a lopsided game into a celebration. Monasterio’s liner to center sealed the 9-8 win, sparking a wild scene at American Family Field as teammates mobbed him on the infield. It was fitting that Durbin, one of the young contributors who has solidified third base since arriving in the Devin Williams trade, crossed the plate with the winning run.</p><p>Durbin expanded on the team’s mindset: “I describe it as Brewers baseball.

They traded away Williams, lost Willy Adames to free agency, and stumbled early to a 25-28 record. But since May 24, they’ve gone 65-30, including a franchise-record 14-game win streak in August.</p><p>Christian Yelich credited the organization’s culture: “It’s taken a lot of people to do that, a lot of consistency kind of at the top, guys that care about winning… each year, we kind of find our identity as a team and find ways to win.”</p><p>That mix of veterans and emerging stars has created the league’s best blend of offense and pitching. Quinn Priester has reeled off 12 straight wins, Andrew Vaughn has revived his career in Milwaukee, and Brice Turang, William Contreras, and Durbin himself have become key cogs in a deep lineup.</p><p>That attitude was on full display Saturday — down early, relentless in response, and celebrating late. For the Brewers, it wasn’t just another comeback win.

On Saturday, Milwaukee sent Jacob Misiorowski to the mound. And while St. Louis jumped out to an early lead against the rookie phenom, it could have been worse.</p><p>With a runner on first, Victor Scott II ripped a 97 mph Misiorowski four-seamer to right center. The ball appeared destined to find the gap. But Jackson Chourio got on his horse and <a href="https://x.com/i/status/1967036930035773800" rel="noopener">tracked it down</a> for an incredible catch.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jackson Chourio covers INSANE GROUND for the catch 🤯</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/Gk1zCK0LGa">pic.twitter.com/Gk1zCK0LGa</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1967037625614954620?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Chourio got a great jump on the liner and covered a wild amount of ground before making a diving grab. The catch robbed Scott of extra bases and an RBI as the Brewers got out of the inning down only 3-1, much to the relief of Misiorowski.</p><h2><b>Jackson Chourio wows with defensive gem</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jackson-Chourio-2.jpg"><figcaption>Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Unfortunately, Chourio couldn’t prevent the Cardinals from tacking on another run in the fifth inning. Misiorowski allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts in five innings.</p><p>Despite Chourio’s highlight-reel play, it hasn’t been a defensive clinic for the Brewers. The team committed two costly mistakes in the field as third baseman Caleb Durbin and shortstop Joey Ortiz were both charged with throwing errors.</p><p>The Cardinals extended their lead to 6-2 in the sixth inning. But while Chourio’s catch may not have saved the game, it was no doubt a welcomed sign for the Brewers.</p><p>The 21-year-old outfielder is having an excellent sophomore season. And he appears to be fully recovered from the hamstring strain he suffered in July. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-jackson-chourio-shares-update-after-return-from-injury">Chourio returned to the lineup</a> on August 30 after being sidelined for 30 games by the ailment. He initially suffered the injury while running the bases against the Chicago Cubs on July 29.</p><p>The Brewers have slowed down from their historic midseason pace. Nonetheless, Milwaukee entered Saturday with the best record in baseball. And the Brewers are the first team to clinch a playoff berth. Milwaukee has a six-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central.</p><p>The Cardinals can’t catch the Brewers in the division but the team is still in the postseason hunt. St. Louis entered the day 3.5 games out of the final Wild Card berth. However, they would have to leapfrog four teams to make the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the postseason right around the corner, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy revealed his strategy to help ensure Woodruff remains as healthy as possible.</p><p>Murphy, who is 66 years old, claims that he plans to give Woodruff <a href="https://x.com/Todd_Rosiak/status/1966624844297990233" rel="noopener">extra days off</a> in between starts, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The 2024 NL Manager of the Year is prioritizing health for the Brewers’ starting pitcher.</p><p>“Pat Murphy: — Reshuffling the rotation is to get Brandon Woodruff some extra days between starts. ‘The guy has come back from a major surgery. Just want to make sure that health is important. Regardless, we’re still trying to win tonight.'”</p><p>The 32-year-old pitcher came back from a shoulder surgery he underwent in October 2023. He finally returned to the mound after 19 months out of action. This season, he has played <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-pat-murphy-reacts-rare-sweep-brutal-rangers-series">for the Brewers</a> a bit sporadically due to recovering from the surgery, as well as other injuries he’s picked up.</p><p>He fell to right ankle tenitis in May, then suffered an elbow bruise after being hit by a line drive during a rehab assignment. That elbow bruise forced Woodruff to miss some extra time. However, when healthy, Brandon Woodruff has looked as good as ever for the Brewers. Through 59.2 innings pitched, he owns a 3.32 ERA and 9.955 WHIP while recording 74 strikeouts. He also owns a 6-2 win-loss record through 11 starts.</p><p>Woodruff was originally pegged for a start over the weekend in the Brewers’ three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Instead, Pat Murphy has the two-time All-Star starting in Game 2 between Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Angels. So, we won’t see Brandon Woodruff back on the mound until Wednesday, September 17.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-pat-murphy-reacts-rare-sweep-brutal-rangers-series">Brewers endured a sweep by the Texas Rangers,</a> they still have the best path in the MLB playoffs. Christian Yelich will lead the charge. However, there are three Brewers players to watch who could play a major role in October.</p><p>Milwaukee currently has <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb?tab=world-series" rel="noopener">+700 odds to win the World Series,</a> according to FanDuel. That gives them the third-best odds to win it all. However, they will need a lot to keep the consistency going. Milwaukee has the best record in baseball right now. Yet, their playoff history leaves a lot to be desired. Yelich has been with the team since 2018. That was also the last time Milwaukee even made it to the National League Championship Series.</p><p>Yelich will look to get them there this time around. Can anyone else help him and hit the baseball? These are the three Brewers to watch, and they can provide a major boost in the MLB playoffs if this team is to go any further than one round.</p><h2><b>Brice Turang must hit alongside Christian Yelich</b></h2><p>What a season it’s been for Brice Turang. Ultimately, he has stepped up his game. Turang is batting .289 with 18 home runs, 74 RBIs, and 90 runs scored. Significantly, he has done his part as the leadoff hitter for the Brew Crew and has done everything he could to help the Brew Crew get to the top of the standings.</p><p>Turang performed well in the 2024 MLB Playoffs. In fact, he was one of the few Brewers players who actually did well. Now, he must do it again. Turang hit .455 (5-for-11) with three doubles against the New York Mets in the 2024 MLB Playoffs. Substantially, there is a chance the Brewers face the Mets again. If the Mets make the playoffs and get past the Los Angeles Dodgers, they would meet Milwaukee again. This time, it would be in a Best-of-5 AL Divisional Round Series.</p><p>Turang must continue to set the tone, getting on base to set the table for Jackson Chourio, Yelich, and William Contreras behind him. If he can, the Brew Crew might go further than they have gone in a long time.</p><h2><b>William Contreras cannot struggle again in the MLB playoffs</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-william-contreras-out-lineup-first-time-since-june-25">Contreras has been an ironman this season,</a> playing in 140 games. Yet, there is an uneasy feeling about his performance and whether he can show up in the MLB playoffs. Contreras is batting .263 with 17 home runs, 71 RBIs, and 85 runs. However, he struggled in the NL Wild Card Series against the Mets, batting .167 (2 for 12) with two RBIs. That cannot happen again.</p><p>Contreras must clobber the baseball. Alarmingly, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-fatal-flaw-that-will-doom-2025-world-series-hopes">Brewers have lacked </a><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-fatal-flaw-that-will-doom-2025-world-series-hopes" rel="noopener">power </a>and rank just 20th in home runs. Although they have gotten on base (second in on-base percentage), they have struggled to hit the baseball into the stands. Contreras is one of the low-key power hitters on the team, and he is hitting up to his standards. Yet, he has never hit a home run in the MLB playoffs.</p><p>The Brew Crew needs Contreras to get hot and find a way to stay hot. What they don’t need is for him to struggle again in the MLB playoffs as he did last season. Overall, he has struggled in the playoffs throughout his career with the 2023 MLB Postseason being the only time where he experienced a smidge of success in October.</p><h2><b>Rhys Hoskins is one of the Brewers’ players to watch</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Rhys-Hoskins-hits-the-baseball.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Cowsert-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Rhys Hoskins has struggled this season, batting .244 with 12 home runs, 43 RBIs, and 30 runs over 84 games. Despite playing with the Philadelphia Phillies in past seasons, he has not played well in his limited playoff chances.</p><p>Hoskins went 0-for-9 in the 2024 MLB Postseason. Before that, he hit .205 (9-for-69) in the Phillies’ run to the World Series, failing to contribute at all to the cause. The Brewers need Hoskins to be good, either in the lineup or off the bench.</p><p>Lately, he has been mostly coming off the bench. Even so, the Brewers will need him to do more, especially if they need him in a late-game situation. Hoskins currently platoons at first base with Andrew Vaughn. Regardless, he needs to find his hitting stroke and come through when the team needs him.</p><p>Pitching is already a major strength for the Brewers. Unfortunately, hitting has been one of the biggest struggles throughout the years. While the team is hitting better, these three Brewers players must figure out a way to consistently hit the baseball to help Yelich. If they cannot help Yelich out, then the Brewers will likely be going home early again this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was also Peralta’s first loss since July.
