Brewers Make Big Addition to Front Office With Hire of Former GM The Milwaukee Brewers have hired Billy Eppler.
Trevor Megill - Makes spring debut Megill (undisclosed) made his Cactus League debut in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Giants, striking out a batter and giving up one run on one hit in one inning of relief.
Impact An unspecified injury kept Megill behind schedule compared to the team's other healthy relievers early on in camp, but now that he's made his spring debut, the 31-year-old right-hander looks like he'll be ready to go for the start of the season. He surrendered a solo home run to the first batter he faced (LaMonte Wade) on Friday, but Megill bounced back well, inducing a pair of groundouts before striking out Matt Chapman to close out the third inning. With Milwaukee trading away Devin Williams in the offseason, Megill appears to be the leading candidate to serve as the Brewers' closer in 2025.

Chris Martin - Set for spring debut Sunday Martin (illness) is listed as one of the relievers scheduled to pitch for the Rangers in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning...
Impact The veteran right-hander will be making his spring debut after a bout with the flu earlier in camp put him behind schedule compared to the club's other healthy bullpen options. Martin will likely need only a handful of tuneup outings during the Cactus League to prepare himself for the start of the season. He'll be a candidate to factor into the Rangers' unsettled closing picture after he turned in a 3.45 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 50:3 K:BB in 44.1 innings with Boston in 2024.

Tyler Black - Making spring debut Sunday Black (back) is batting third as the designated hitter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Guardians.
Impact It's the first game action of the spring for Black, who suffered a minor back injury early in camp. The 24-year-old finished last season at Triple-A Nashville but received his first taste of the majors and had a .204/.316/.245 slash line and 29.8 percent strikeout rate in 57 plate appearances. He faces long odds to crack Milwaukee's Opening Day roster.

Rhys Hoskins - Hammers two homers Hoskins went 3-for-3 with two home runs and two RBI in Saturday's spring game.
Impact Hoskins homered in his first appearance of the spring and put two more long balls on the board Saturday. He remains the top option at first base for the Brewers and will be looking to bounce back in both the batting average and OPS departments after posting career-low .214 and .722 marks, respectively, in those categories in 2024.
