Wed Jul 212:00Garrett Mitchell has Successful Shoulder Surgery
According to Milwaukee Brewers beat writer Adam McCalvy, outfielder Garrett Mitchell's shoulder surgery went as planned on Tuesday. There had previously been hope that he would play late this season, but after further deliberation, it is likely that Mitchell's season is over, Pat Murphy said. At this point, it appears Mitchell will do his best to be ready for Spring Training in 2026, as the injury is likely to keep him out for the remainder of the 2025 season. It was a bit of a lost season for Mitchell, as he slashed a poor .206/.286/.294 in 68 at-bats this season after slashing .255/.342/.469 in 2024. Mitchell is still only 26 years old and was a former first-round pick, so he is worth a hold in dynasty formats. Isaac Collins and Jake Bauers are the most likely suitors to step into the third outfield spot behind Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio.

Tue Jul 117:12Garrett Mitchell Out for the Rest of the Season
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) had left-shoulder-stabilization surgery on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the 2025 season, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg. It's the second time that Mitchell will have surgery on his left shoulder, and his goal will now be to get ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. The 26-year-old former 20th overall pick in 2020 out of UCLA just has not been able to stay healthy since making his major-league debut back in 2022, as he hasn't played over 69 games in a single season in Milwaukee. While Mitchell has displayed intriguing power and speed when healthy for the Brewers, this latest injury setback could have dynasty/keeper managers cutting the cord. Not helping Mitchell's cause in Milwaukee is the fact that they have plenty of outfield depth.

Sat Jun 2814:59Garrett Mitchell to Undergo Shoulder Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) will undergo surgery on his ailing left shoulder on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. His timeline to return is unclear, but Brewers manager Pat Murphy is hopeful that Mitchell will be able to play again this season. The 26-year-old originally landed on the 10-day injured list on April 26 with a strained left oblique. He was on his way back from that before suffering the shoulder injury on a minor league rehab assignment last week. Mitchell is now set for his second left shoulder procedure after previously going under the knife in April 2023. This has been a lost season to this point for Mitchell, who hit .206/.286/.394 in 78 homer-less plate appearances before going on the IL. He won't have a chance to improve on those numbers for the foreseeable future.

Tue Jun 2418:40Garrett Mitchell Might Need Another Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique, shoulder) could require another surgery on his shoulder after suffering an injury during a minor-league rehab game on Friday. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Mitchell will get a second opinion on his injured shoulder. If he has surgery, Mitchell would likely miss at least another two months which would basically end his season. Mitchell has been sidelined since late April due to an oblique strain. Now, a shoulder injury might end his 2025 campaign. Mitchell isn't someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy formats right now.

Sat Jun 2113:06Garrett Mitchell Suffers Shoulder Injury
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique/shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during his rehab outing on Friday evening. Mitchell suffered this injury while diving toward first base. Mitchell has been sidelined with an oblique strain he suffered in April. However, this shoulder injury occurred on his left arm, which was surgically repaired due to a torn labrum during the 2023 campaign. Mitchell underwent early imaging, but the results were inconclusive. For the time being, the former top prospect is being taken off his rehab assignment. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears Mitchell could face another lengthy absence. During the first 25 games of the regular season, Mitchell held a .206/.286/.294 line with three stolen bases. He is only worth stashing in deeper NL-only leagues.

Tue Jun 1712:54Garrett Mitchell Joining Triple-A Nashville
Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) will join Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday to continue his rehab assignment. The UCLA product has been shelved since April with an oblique strain. Mitchell started his rehab assignment with Milwaukee's rookie-level affiliate over the weekend and struck out in his only two at-bats. It's good news that he'll quickly be moved up a few levels. Still, he'll likely require at least a few more rehab outings before rejoining the big-league squad. Prior to his injury, the 26-year-old was slashing a woeful .206/.286/.294 through his first 25 appearances, though he should slot in as Milwaukee's primary centerfielder upon his return.

Sat Jun 1413:43Garrett Mitchell, Blake Perkins Starting Rehab Assignment on Monday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielders Garrett Mitchell (oblique) and Blake Perkins (lower leg) are slated to begin a rehab assignment on Monday in the Arizona Complex League. Mitchell has been held out of action since April with an oblique strain. He recently began participating in baseball activities and could return to the majors before the end of the month. During his first 25 games of the season, Mitchell held a .206/.286/.294 slash line with four doubles, no home runs, and three stolen bases. Perkins suffered this leg injury during spring training. He was initially placed on the 10-day injured list but was eventually shifted to the 60-day injured list. Given his current status, fantasy managers should expect Perkins to participate in a more extended rehab assignment than Mitchell. Mitchell will likely compete for a full-time role while Perkins will compete for a depth role when they return to action.

Thu Jun 1218:51Garrett Mitchell Nearing Rehab Assignment
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) is expected to begin a rehab assignment next week, according to manager Pat Murphy. This is good news considering Mitchell has been sidelined since late April due to an oblique strain. Mitchell has resumed baseball activities and is inching his way closer to his eventual return. It's unclear how many rehab games Mitchell will need to play before returning to the Brewers outfield. The hope is that Mitchell can return to Milwaukee before the end of June.

Mon Jun 919:54Garrett Mitchell Resumes Baseball Activities
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has resumed baseball activities, according to the team. The Brewers have gone about a month and a half without Mitchell, who went on the 10-day injured list on April 26 with a left oblique strain. If all goes well during his rehab, he could return to the majors in late June. The 26-year-old hit a productive .255/.342/.469 with six home runs in 11 steals over a 69-game, 224-plate appearance span in 2024. However, Mitchell slumped to a .206/.286/.294 mark with no homers in 25 games and 78 trips to the plate before suffering the injury this year. Mitchell opened the season as the Brewers' primary center fielder, but Jackson Chourio has shifted from left field to take his place.

Sat May 3120:18Garrett Mitchell Likely to be Sidelined Until July
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has been making slow progress since his injury in April. Mitchell suffered an oblique strain in late April and is likely to miss two months of action because of it. The organization was hopeful that Mitchell would be back on the roster by now. Sadly, Mitchell isn't making great progress, so he'll probably miss another month. Brewers manager Pat Murphy believes Mitchell should be back in the mix in early July. Mitchell isn't a great fantasy option, but is worth rostering in NL-only formats.

Sun Apr 2708:28Garrett Mitchell Headed To IL With Oblique Strain
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique. Mitchell exited Friday's contest early due to oblique tightness, and Saturday's MRI confirmed the strain. The 26-year-old could use the time on the IL to reset, as he was off to a very slow start at the plate, slashing .206/.286/.294 with no home runs, a .264 wOBA, and a 65 wRC+ over 25 games. The former first-round pick has battled various injuries already in his short major league career, and has yet to log more than 69 games in a season, so hopefully this won't keep him out longer than expected, and maybe he can get back on track offensively. Daz Cameron was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take his place, but hasn't offered much in the way of fantasy production during his previous stints in the majors, so is probably best left to the waiver wire for now.

Fri Apr 2521:41Garrett Mitchell Makes Early Exit
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has been removed early during Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It's unclear how Mitchell suffered the injury, but he was taken out in the fourth inning due to oblique tightness. This is sometimes a tricky injury, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Mitchell land on the injured list. The assumption is the Brewers will do further testing to determine the significance of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Mitchell as day-to-day until more information is revealed.

Fri Apr 1106:32Garrett Mitchell Still In Search Of First Home Run
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell went 0-for-2 with a walk before being lifted for a pinch hitter on Thursday afternoon in Colorado. Mitchell left Coors Field still looking for his first long ball of the season after going 2-for-8 for the series with his first stolen base of the season. The 26-year-old lefty is hitting .258 (8-for-31) with two doubles, four walks, a .065 ISO, and a .317 wOBA. He has been platooning with Isaac Collins, which has limited his chances, but he has a 45.5% hard-hit rate and .341 xwOBA, which indicates some positive regression could be around the corner for him as the Brewers continue their road trip with a stop in Arizona to face the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Sat Aug 3 202414:48Garrett Mitchell Sitting Versus Lefty
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting Washington Nationals and left-hander DJ Herz. The 25-year-old doubled and drove in a pair of runs on Friday but will take a seat and give way to Blake Perkins in center field on Saturday. Mitchell has been plagued by injuries during his young career but has been rather productive when healthy as a career .280 hitter with six homers, 11 stolen bases, and a .347 wOBA across 209 trips to the plate. There does seem to be some combination of pop and speed with Mitchell that fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on but he remains off the fantasy radar for redraft managers down the stretch.

Mon Jul 1 202416:07Garrett Mitchell Reinstated From The Injured List
The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) from the 60-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. The Brewers also designated infielder Owen Miller for assignment. It remains to be seen if Mitchell will be in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, but whenever he gets into a game, it will be his season debut after missing the first three months of 2024 with a fractured finger. There's a crowded outfield already in Milwaukee, so fantasy managers can't expect the former first-rounder to see regular playing time among Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio. In 12 minor-league rehab games for Nashville, Mitchell looked good, hitting .318 with four home runs and four steals.

Thu Jun 27 202420:44Garrett Mitchell Leaves Rehab Game Early
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (hamstring) left Wednesday's rehab game in the ninth inning due to a hamstring injury, according to Jack Stern of the Brewer Fanatic. Mitchell was enjoying a nice game where he tallied two hits including one double and a round-tripper with two RBI. This was Mitchell's tenth game at Triple-A during the stint and 12th overall rehab game. During these rehab games, Mitchell has performed very well with a .298/.411/.596 line. The former UCLA Bruin was nearing a return to the majors but may have to wait a bit longer with this minor setback. Dynasty managers should pay close attention to Michell's status during the weekend.

Fri Jun 21 202409:21Garrett Mitchell Hits Inside-The-Park Home Run On Rehab Assignment
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Garrett Mitchell (hand) was 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. On a rehab assignment, Mitchell is hitting .269 with three homers and six RBI in six games for Nashville. The 25-year-old is rounding back into form after missing a good portion of the season with a fractured bone in his left hand. If he has a few more games like the one on Thursday, he should push for a return to Milwaukee soon. His plus speed makes him an intriguing waiver-wire addition in leagues of all sizes upon his return to the Brewers.

Sat Jun 1 202416:56Garrett Mitchell Participates In Full Batting Practice
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) has recently participated in full batting practice and will start taking live at-bats soon. Mitchell suffered a fracture to his left index finger earlier in the spring and has been sidelined ever since. However, he has yet to face any setbacks and is nearing the end of his recovery process. The young outfielder has only appeared in 47 games at the major league level across the past two seasons and posted a .278/.315/.446 five home runs, and a 7:26 BB:K ratio. With how well he is progressing, a mid-June return date seems very possible. However, when he does return, he will join a crowded outfield with Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins, Jake Bauers, and Sal Frelick, which will make reliable playing time hard to find. Mitchell is worth adding in NL-only formats but should be left on the waiver wire in shallow leagues.

Wed May 22 202421:41Garrett Mitchell Eyeing Return In Mid-June
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) will begin taking swings off a tee ahead of Friday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox. The next major steps would be for Mitchell to first log at-bats in the Arizona Complex League and then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment as he progresses from a fractured left index finger. Mitchell's goal is to return to the Brewers during a series against the Los Angeles Angels that begins on June 17. The speedy 25-year-old was in line to be Milwaukee's starting center fielder and leadoff hitter in 2024, and he could still slot into those roles upon his activation from the 60-day injured list. In 47 career major-league games, Mitchell is slashing a formidable .278/.343/.452 with five home runs, five doubles, 16 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 126 ABs. He's a decent stash in NL-only fantasy leagues with most of the club's outfielders struggling besides Christian Yelich.

Fri May 17 202420:17Garrett Mitchell To Start Swinging A Bat Soon
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) is scheduled to start swinging a bat on the team's current road trip, likely in Boston next weekend from May 24-26, according to manager Pat Murphy. The Brewers have said that Mitchell could return around June 1, so the 25-year-old has from now until then to progress in his rehab and go out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The former first-rounder out of UCLA suffered a fractured finger in spring training action and has been unable to play at all in 2024 to this point. He played in just 19 major-league games last year due to a season-ending shoulder injury, too, so Mitchell has had some bad luck with injuries early in his career. In 47 major-league games since 2022 with the Brew Crew, Mitchell has hit .278/.343/.452 with five homers, 16 RBI and nine stolen bases. Milwaukee has a crowded outfield picture as things stand now, so Mitchell's role is to be determined once he makes his 2024 debut.
