There are a number of familiar Brewers names competing for Class AAA Nashville this season; how have they fared?

The Chicago Cubs have sprung to life in 2025, and now the second-place Brewers are chasing them in the standings, including head-to-head this week.

The Boston Red Sox could certainly use a little more pop in the middle of their lineup after training Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants and because of this, the Milwaukee Brewers continue to be thrown around.

The Cubs’ rivalry with the Brewers is tied for their most closely contested against any National League opponent. The Cubs have won 221 games and lost 225, for a winning percentage of .496, the same as their percentage against the Dodgers, in nearly five times as many games (1,058-1,075-14). The Cubs are .505 vs. the Reds and .493 vs. the Pirates.

Since that roughing-up at the hands of Chicago, one that raised questions of if Milwaukee would demote him and just what, exactly, it was doing giving up a valuable prospect and high draft pick for him, Priester has pitched to a 2.23 earned run average and 0.970 WHIP, 5.6% walk rate and 60% ground-ball percentage.

The Milwaukee Brewers made a couple of small roster moves this morning. In the first, Daz Cameron returned from paternity leave, and Drew Avans was optioned to Triple-A Nashville. In the other, Garrett Mitchell was sent to Nashville on a rehab assignment.
