GARRETT MITCHELL NEWS

Undergoes shoulder surgery Mitchell underwent scheduled surgery Tuesday to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell is likely done for the remainder of the 2023 season, though Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Thursday that there is a sliver of hope he could return very late in the year. Mitchell injured his shoulder April 18 on a slide into third base. Joey Wiemer has been drawing the majority of starts in center field for Milwaukee in recent weeks.

Transferred to 60-day IL The Brewers transferred Mitchell (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's a procedural move that clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Brewers that was needed after the team traded for Trevor Megill. Mitchell underwent surgery on his left shoulder Tuesday, and it's very possible that the speedy outfielder will miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign.

Will undergo surgery Mitchell will have surgery on his left shoulder after receiving a second opinion Tuesday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact After suffering significant damage to his labrum while sliding into third base last week against Seattle, Mitchell will now officially undergo surgery. The speedy center fielder will likely be held out of action until the final weeks of the season, if not the rest of it. Since Mitchell's injury, Joey Wiemer has received the majority of reps in center field for Milwaukee, but that could change once Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Sal Frelick (thumb) recover from their respective injuries.

Could need shoulder surgery Mitchell could be facing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell was placed on the injured list Wednesday after dislocating his shoulder in multiple places Tuesday night against the Mariners. Imaging scans have since revealed significant damage to his labrum and he will likely require a surgical repair. The 24-year-old outfielder is first seeking out a second opinion, but it seems like the writing is on the wall that his 2023 campaign is already over. Mitchell had posted a .772 OPS with three home runs and one stolen base through 16 games this year with the NL Central-leading Brewers.

To have MRI on injured shoulder Mitchell will undergo an MRI on his injured left shoulder Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday after suffering multiple left shoulder subluxations late in Tuesday's game against the Mariners. The imaging scans should help the Brewers get a better idea of the severity and might yield a projected timeline for the young outfielder's return. Joey Wiemer and Owen Miller are expected to be the primary options in center field while Mitchell is in recovery mode. Recent callup Blake Perkins could factor in as well.

Lands on IL The Brewers placed Mitchell (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left shoulder subluxation, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Mitchell wore a sling Wednesday morning and is indeed dealing with an IL-worthy shoulder injury. It's unclear how long the center fielder, who's slashing .259/.306/.466 with three home runs this season, will be on the shelf.

Wearing sling Mitchell (shoulder) was spotted in the Brewers' clubhouse Wednesday wearing a sling on his left arm, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The rookie outfielder had to exit Tuesday's game against the Mariners with a left shoulder subluxation. The team is expected to provide more on Mitchell's status later Wednesday, but the fact that he's wearing a sling certainly wouldn't appear to be a good sign.

Leaves with shoulder subluxation Mitchell left in the 10th inning against the Mariners with a shoulder subluxation, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Mitchell left the contest after making a throw home in the bottom of the 10th that couldn't get Ty France at the plate. The outfielder appeared to pick up the injury after he banged into third base on a slide in the top of the frame. Mitchell is day-to-day and currently receiving treatment, but all but assuredly will be out Wednesday for the series finale against Seattle.

Leaves with potential injury Mitchell has left Tuesday's game against the Mariners in the bottom of the 10th with a potential injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mitchell made hard contact into third base in the top of the inning, and then left the game after making a throw home in the bottom of the 10th. Mike Brousseau has replaced Mitchell and taken over at third base with Brian Anderson moving to right field and Joey Wiemer now in center.

Scores lone run Sunday Mitchell went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Padres.

Impact Mitchell scored the Brewers only run of the afternoon and it proved to be enough after Wade Miley fired seven shutout frames and the bullpen took care of the rest. The 24-year-old reached base in the second inning on a bunt single. A Yu Darvish balk got him over to second base and then he stole third before being driven home on a sacrifice fly to left field off the bat of Brian Anderson. It was Mitchell's first stolen base of the year, and plenty more should be expected after he had eight in just 28 games last season.

Out of lineup Friday Mitchell is not in the lineup Friday against the Padres.

Impact Mitchell went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Thursday's series opener at San Diego, but he still holds a shiny .884 OPS through 46 total plate appearances on the year. This looks to be a routine day off. Joey Wiemer is starting in center field and batting ninth.

Walks it off against Mets Mitchell went 1-for-2 with a walkoff solo home run in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Mets.

Impact He wasn't in the starting lineup, but Mitchell came on as a pinch hitter for Mike Brosseau in the sixth inning and remained in the game, giving him a chance to play hero in the ninth. Mitchell is enjoying a great start to the season, batting .300 (6-for-20) through six games with three homers, five RBI and six runs, but as yet the 24-year-old speedster hasn't stolen a base after going 8-for-8 on the basepaths last year in only 28 big-league games.

Sitting versus lefty Mitchell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact With southpaw David Peterson on the bump for New York, the lefty-hitting Mitchell will take a seat for the series finale. The righty-hitting Joey Wiemer will step in in center field in place of Mitchell, who went 3-for-8 with a pair of solo home runs, a walk and two additional runs between the first two games of the series.

Launches two homers Mitchell went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Mets.

Impact The 24-year-old followed Rowdy Tellez's and Brian Anderson's homers during the sixth inning with one of his own, and Mitchell and Anderson teamed up again for back-to-back shots in the seventh. Mitchell isn't a major power threat and hit just seven long balls across 92 games between Double-A, Triple-A and the majors last season, but he can still provide enough pop to reach double-digit homers, assuming he's able to retain a regular spot in the lineup all season.

Returns to lineup Monday Mitchell (hamstring) is back in the Brewers' lineup for Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Mariners. He'll start in center field and bat leadoff.

Impact Mitchell wound up missing a week and a half of action with right hamstring tightness. His offense is a work in progress, but he should be an asset in the stolen-base department for fantasy managers in 2023 as long as he's playing regularly, which appears to be the plan.
