Top Pitching Performance of the Week
Tobias Myers and Chad Patrick both put together solid weeks for Milwaukee as their roles heading into the postseason are a little clearer at this point. Myers ate five innings across two relief appearances, allowing just one run on a solo homer and striking out two. Patrick was even better, spanning four innings across a start and a relief outing, allowing no runs on two hits and three walks with eight strikeouts. Honorable mention to Freddy Peralta, who wrapped up a great season with nine more strikeouts,
pushing him across the 200-strikeout mark for the third consecutive season.
Top Hitting Performance of the Week
It was a fairly quiet week overall offensively for the Crew, as they totaled just 16 runs across their six games this week, totaling three homers as a team. But Danny Jansen, who struggled for the first six-ish weeks with Milwaukee, had a great week, leading the team with five hits, including a pair of homers, and finishing with a .500/.615/1.100 line across 13 plate appearances (10 at-bats). Not too shabby for the Wisconsin kid.
Honorable mention to Jackson Chourio, who hit the only other homer this week and added three steals to finish with his second consecutive 20-20 season at age 21. His season numbers end up at .270/.308/.463 with 21 homers, 21 steals, 78 RBIs, and 88 runs.
Injury Notes & Roster Moves
- The week began with Joel Payamps, who was designated for assignment for the second time this year last weekend, being claimed by the Atlanta Braves.
- Bruce Zimmermann, who made a spot start in San Diego last week and managed to get through six innings despite being hit hard early, was designated for assignment and ultimately outrighted to Triple-A Nashville.
- Carlos Rodriguez was recalled to replace Zimmermann on the roster but he was then optioned back to the ACL Brewers on Sunday. He could still be in the mix this postseason.
- Trevor Megill and DL Hall were both activated from the 15-day IL before Sunday’s series finale against the Reds. Both pitched an inning in their return, with Hall allowing a solo homer and Megill working a scoreless frame with a pair of strikeouts.
- To clear space for Megill and Hall, Erick Fedde was designated for assignment on Sunday. It’s a tough break for the veteran, as he played for three teams this year (the Cardinals, Braves, and Brewers), settling in nicely with Milwaukee over the last month-plus of the year. In seven appearances, Fedde spanned 16 innings with a 3.38 ERA and seven strikeouts.
