Milwaukee Brewers

Andrew Vaughn

1B

Vaughn last played in a game Sept. 19, as he dealt with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He is now considered fully healthy and will be included on the Brewers' NLDS roster, likely seeing some opportunities against left-handers.

Brandon Woodruff

SP

The veteran hurler is working his way back from a capsule strain in his right shoulder, an injury that was initially expected to require surgery before Woodruff healed more quickly than anticipated. If Woodruff gains clearance for mound work -- which isn't a given -- the right-hander could have a small chance to pitch at some point in the postseason.

Joey Ortiz

SS

Ortiz is banged up, primarily nursing a knee injury in addition to abdominal and groin issues. He'll sit out Sunday's finale in hopes that he'll be as close to 100 percent as possible for the NLDS. David Hamilton will handle third base for the Brewers on Sunday.

Grant Anderson

RP

Anderson went down with right biceps inflammation just last week, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to pitch in games again. The right-handed reliever is eligible for activation in one week and is tracking toward being ready at that time.

Brian Fitzpatrick

RP

Fitzpatrick was diagnosed with a left UCL strain in early June, necessitating this week's surgery. He'll now be sidelined for the remainder of the current campaign and much of 2027, though he could return in the second half of next season if his recovery and rehab goes well.
