Slugs first MLB home run Drawing the start at third base, Capra cranked a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact Capra won an Opening Day roster spot with a huge showing in spring training which saw him slug six home runs. He carried that over into the opener in his first plate appearance when he lined one over the left-field wall off Carlos Rodon to lead off the top of the third inning. It was the first major-league homer for Capra, who struck out and grounded out in his other two plate appearances before being pinch-hit for in the ninth inning. Capra looks to be on the short side of a platoon at third base with Oliver Dunn, but he can play his way into a larger role.

Gets Opening Day start Capra will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's season opener versus the Yankees.
Impact Capra emerged from spring training with a spot on the Opening Day roster after he turned in a 1.087 OPS with six home runs and two steals across 55 plate appearances in Cactus League play. Though he'll be included in the lineup for the opener, the right-handed-hitting Capra could end up serving as a shot-side platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Oliver Dunn, who will take a seat Thursday while southpaw Carlos Rodon takes the hill for the Yankees. Capra will also provide the Brewers with some backup help at shortstop and second base.

Socks fourth spring homer Capra went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and a stolen base in Monday's exhibition contest.
Impact Few players have been as hot this spring as Capra, who is now up to four homers and two steals despite getting just 17 at-bats. The journeyman has appeared in just 20 big-league games and figures to open the regular season with Triple-A Nashville, but he does occupy a spot on Milwaukee's 40-man roster, so he remains in the mix for the time being.

Impact The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Joey Ortiz (neck), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Capra started in two of three games for the Brewers after being called up from Nashville on July 3, going 1-for-9 with one run and three strikeouts.

Impact With Joey Ortiz (neck) headed to the injured list, Capra will join the major-league squad in order to replenish the Brewers' infield depth. The 27-year-old has spent all season with Nashville, slashing .242/.331/.345 with 25 RBI over 302 plate appearances. Andruw Monasterio will likely start most days while Ortiz is out, but Capra may see some playing time against left-handed hitters in place of the lefty-hitting Brice Turang.

Claimed by Milwaukee The Brewers claimed Capra off waivers from the Pirates on Thursday.
Impact Capra, 27, has logged only 28 career plate appearances at the major-league level, but he put up an encouraging .329/.412/.439 batting line over 49 games with the Triple-A affiliate of the Pirates in 2023. He'll function as organizational infield depth for Milwaukee.

Impact Bailey Falter was added in place of Capra, who got the start at second base Friday and went 0-for-3 with a walk. It was the 27-year-old's third career start in the major leagues.

Impact Capra came up short in his bid to win a roster spot with the Blue Jays in the Grapefruit League after appearing in eight games with Toronto in 2022, and he struggled to a .167/.357/.222 slash with Triple-A Buffalo to begin the 2023 campaign. He'll offer the Pirates some organizational depth with the ability to play all over the infield and also the corner outfield.
