Brewers Finalize NLDS Roster vs. Cubs With Peralta Starting Game 1

Milwaukee prioritizes bullpen flexibility with rookie Jacob Misiorowski on the roster despite a late-season slide.

Overview

  • The Brewers released a 26-man NLDS roster featuring 12 pitchers and 14 position players for the best-of-five series against Chicago.
  • Jacob Misiorowski made the postseason roster after a late-year downturn and a shift to relief, with his specific role to be determined by matchups.
  • Robert Gasser was added to the pitching staff, while Tobias Myers was left off after working mostly in relief down the stretch.
  • Veteran first baseman Rhys Hoskins was omitted, with first base to be covered by Andrew Vaughn and left-handed option Jake Bauers, and Andruw Monasterio available for late-game coverage.
  • General manager Matt Arnold confirmed Freddy Peralta as the Game 1 starter, with subsequent pitching usage described as all hands on deck.
