Brewers aim to rebound after a brutal 17-3 loss to the Cubs, calling up power-hitting catcher Bo Naylor from Triple-A Nashville—where he’s smashed 4 homers and driven in 17 runs—and reinstating pitcher JoJo Romero from the IL, hoping these moves spark a turnaround in their critical series.

Bo Naylor’s back for good with the Brewers, officially rejoining the team for the rest of the season after a brief taste of the big leagues. Acquired in a trade from Cleveland on August 1st, the 26-year-old first-round pick (2018) has been warmly welcomed into the locker room and is hitting better with an all-fields approach since joining Nashville’s AAA squad. His return also gives manager flexibility to use Gary Sánchez more as a DH, positioning Naylor as a key future catcher behind the plate — especially with Contreras possibly on the move. Meanwhile, pitcher JoJo Romero is back from injury, helping bolster the bullpen as the Brewers hit their 57-player roster limit.

The Brewers’ pre-2026 trade sent Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers to the Mets for top prospects Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams—both highly rated, with Williams as their third-best and Sproat sixth. Sproat made his MLB debut this season, pitching in 21 games with a 5.27 ERA before being sent down in August. Williams, still un-debuted, missed a month with a wrist injury that re-aggravated upon return; he’s now ranked tenth overall, showing power (9 HR) and speed (21 SB) but struggling at the plate (.233). His path to the majors likely lies at third base, though Andrew Fischer is heating up there too. With no clear timeline for Williams’ recovery, his big league debut may now be a 2027 proposition.
