The Brewers have traded for a reliever at the deadline every full season inside this competitive window, so Shelby Miller's addition makes sense. With the Diamondbacks selling big-time, he was a sensible acquisition, even though he may not be ready right away because of injury.

The Milwaukee Brewers arguably are in a better position than they were ahead of the 2025 Major League Baseball trade deadline. Milwaukee has a 64-44 record right now. Although there were some rumors ahead of the trade deadline,

The Milwaukee Brewers play the Washington Nationals after William Contreras had five hits against the Nationals on Friday.

The Brewers are 64-44 and looking to bounce back from a 10-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs that halted a three-game winning streak. Left fielder Christian Yelich, the team’s leader in homers and RBI, is coming off an 0-3 performance with two strikeouts. They sit atop the NL Central, but the Cubs are only one game back.

Chourio, 21, suffered the injury on Tuesday while legging out a triple. In his first 106 games this season, he had hit .276/.311/.474 (119 OPS+) with 17 home runs and 18 stolen bases. His contributions had been worth an estimated 2.3 Wins Above Replacement, according to the calculations housed at Baseball Reference.
