  • Brewers' William Contreras: Getting breather Wednesday

    Contreras is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Orioles.

    Contreras will get a rare day off after starting in each of the last 11 games, with all but one coming at catcher. Eric Haase will fill in behind the dish and bat sixth as the Brewers try to complete the sweep.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Perfect day at dish

    Contreras went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's win over the Orioles.

    Contreras knocked an RBI double in the fifth inning before hitting a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth. He also swiped second after knocking in his second run of the contest. After an 11-game stretch without a multi-hit performance, he's collected three over his last five appearances. The recent hot streak has bumped his OPS up from .655 to .741 across 189 plate appearances.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Scores four times in win

    Contreras went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and four runs scored in Wednesday's 9-5 win over Cleveland.

    The 27-year-old backstop entered the contest in a 1-for-16 slump but ended up serving as a table-setter out of the cleanup spot Wednesday, as Rhys Hoskins drove in five runs out of the No. 6 hole. It's the fourth four-hit performance of Contreras' career and the first time he's tallied more than two hits in a game this season. He was struggling through 11 games in May prior to Wednesday's showing, having gone 5-for-39 (.128 average) with 12 strikeouts.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Making third straight start

    Contreras will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Though he sat out Wednesday's 9-1 loss to Houston, Contreras confirmed that he planned to continue playing through a fractured middle finger on his catching hand. The two-time All-Star caught eight innings Friday and nine more Saturday while going 1-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored. Even with the Brewers playing a day game Sunday, Contreras won't be deployed as a designated hitter and will remain behind the plate, a sign the coaching and training staffs are comfortable with his health.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Playing through fractured finger

    Contreras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros after X-rays on his left hand confirmed a fractured middle finger, but he plans to continue playing through the injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The fracture is something that Contreras has evidently dealt with for a while, which could be contributing to the disappointing .242/.358/.331 batting line he's produced so far. Though he's not in the lineup Wednesday, Contreras could be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup for this weekend's series at Tampa Bay as either a catcher or designated hitter. The Brewers plan to construct a splint that will absorb some of the impact the finger takes, which should enable him to continue catching on a regular basis. Eric Haase will step in behind the plate Wednesday while Contreras sits for the series finale.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Getting X-rays on finger

    Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Contreras has been playing through a finger injury, and it's now bothering him enough to warrant taking him in for X-rays, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

    Murphy added that Contreras' finger has begun to affect his ability to keep pitches in his glove and hang onto his bat while swinging. More information on the 27-year-old's status will be available once the results of his tests come back, but the Brewers may look to use Eric Haase behind the plate more often in the near future if Contreras' finger continues to be an issue.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Swipes bag Tuesday

    Contreras went 1-for-3 with two walks, a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Contreras had an RBI single in the sixth to knot the game at two apiece and extend his hit streak to eight games. He's had at least one hit in all but one game in which he's appeared since April 5. His early power numbers are down from previous seasons, but he's posted a career-high walk rate and career-low strikeout rate over the first month and he's well on pace to reach double-digit steals for the first time after swiping his fourth bag Tuesday.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Sitting down Thursday

    Contreras isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Contreras has logged a base hit in 15 of his last 16 games, but he'll take a seat Thursday for what will be his second day off of the season. Eric Haase will start behind the plate instead and bat ninth.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Launches third homer

    Contreras went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

    The All-Star catcher opened the game's scoring in the first inning by popping a 375-foot, two-run homer off Arizona starter Zac Gallen. After starting out slowly with a .074/.242/.074 slash line across 33 plate appearances, Contreras is currently riding a seven-game hit streak during which he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with three homers, two doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Smacks first homer in rout

    Contreras went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Colorado.

    Contreras first drove in Jackson Chourio on a single in the third inning, and he later smacked his first homer of the season in the seventh inning to put the Brewers in front 7-1. The star backstop is still slashing just .143/.286/.229 with two RBI over 42 plate appearances so far, but he does have six runs scored and seven walks through his first 10 outings.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Getting afternoon off

    Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Contreras will receive his first day off this season after making eight starts at catcher and one at designated hitter through Milwaukee's first nine games. Eric Haase will handle catching duties in the series finale.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Punched out twice Monday

    Contreras went 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Royals.

    Contreras struck out swinging in his first two plate appearances but managed to draw a walk in the eighth inning. The Brewers have struggled offensively through the first four games of the season outside of their nine-run effort in a loss to the Yankees on Saturday, and Contreras has started the year 2-for-14 with one walk, one run and five strikeouts.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Displaying Silver Slugger talents

    Contreras is 11-for-29 (.379) with two home runs, seven RBI, two stolen bases and a 5:4 BB:K through 12 exhibition games.

    The National League's reigning Silver Slugger at catcher has posted a 1.092 OPS this spring, and the stolen bases should not come as a surprise considering he tallied nine of them over 155 regular-season appearances in 2024. Contreras will again be the primary catcher for the Brewers and will occupy a prime run-producing spot in the batting order.
