Nursing rotator cuff contusion Lockridge has been held out of Cactus League action since suffering a rotator cuff contusion Feb. 26 when he dove back into the bag, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Lockridge is off to a fantastic start this spring, going 6-for-11 with two home runs, one stolen base an a 2:1 BB:K. He's expected to open the season as a reserve outfielder for the Brewers.

Nursing rotator cuff contusion Lockridge has been held out of Cactus League action since suffering a rotator cuff contusion Thursday when he dove back into the bag, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Hot start to camp Lockridge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's Cactus League game against the Padres.

Impact Lockridge picked up a single in the top half of the first inning and slugged a solo home run in the top of the seventh in his final at-bat of the exhibition. He's now left the yard twice so far in two spring games after failing to hit a home run last season across 67 regular-season games. Lockridge looks to face an uphill battle to make the Opening Day roster, but he'd make the decision more difficult for Milwaukee if he continues to mash at the plate.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Brewers optioned Lockridge to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact The Brewers traded for Lockridge at the deadline to provide the club with some speedy outfield depth while Jackson Chourio (hamstring) was on the IL. Now that the latter has returned, Lockridge will move to the minors and continue serving as organizational depth. The 28-year-old slashed .261/.308/.370 with six RBI, eight runs scored and two steals across 53 plate appearances during his time with Milwaukee.

Caissie homers as the Cubs hold off the Brewers for a 6-4 win in doubleheader opener

Owen Caissie homered and drove in three runs, and the Chicago Cubs held off the Milwaukee Brewers for a 6-4 win in the opener of a split doubleheader

AUGUST 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Back on bench after three starts Lockridge is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.

Impact Lockridge will retreat to the bench after he had started in all three games of the Brewers' weekend series in Cincinnati while going 4-for-12 with a triple, a double and two runs. The right-handed-hitting Lockridge could continue to see frequent opportunities to play against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities versus righties will likely be more limited moving forward after Blake Perkins returned from the bereavement list Sunday and Isaac Collins returned from the paternity list Monday.

Activated for Friday's contest The Brewers activated Lockridge ahead of Friday's series opener in Washington.

Impact Lockridge had been playing at Triple-A El Paso prior to being traded to the Brewers on Thursday, but rather than reporting to Milwaukee's top affiliate, he'll begin his time in his new organization with the big club after Jackson Chourio (hamstring) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Blake Perkins will likely serve as the primary replacement in center field for Chourio, but the right-handed-hitting Lockridge could become a regular in the Milwaukee lineup against left-handed pitching. With southpaw Mitchell Parker on the bump for Washington on Friday, Lockridge will occupy right field and bat leadoff in his Brewers debut.

Padres acquire Nestor Cortes, keep Dylan Cease Outfielder Brandon Lockridge sent to Milwaukee

JULY 31, 2025 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Headed to Milwaukee The Brewers acquired Lockridge from the Padres on Thursday in exchange for left-hander Nestor Cortes (elbow), infielder Jorge Quintana and cash, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lockridge has slashed .282/.402/.462 through 99 plate appearances at Triple-A El Paso this season but hasn't found nearly the same success in the big leagues, as he sported just a .519 OPS through 47 games with the Padres. The 28-year-old will likely report to Triple-A Nashville with his new organization, though a promotion to Milwaukee could be in the forecast if Jackson Chourio (hamstring) needs to go on the injured list.
