Mashes two homers Monday Contreras went 2-for-3 with two home runs and six RBI in Monday's exhibition contest.

Impact Contreras did not go yard over his first 15 appearances of the spring, but he made up for lost time by socking a pair of three-run shots Monday. Expect him to be behind the plate when the Brewers kick off the regular season Thursday against the Cubs.

Reaches four times Friday Contreras went 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks in Friday's exhibition contest.

Impact Contreras owns just a .542 OPS through 23 PA this spring, but he did record two multi-hit efforts over his last four appearances. Contreras posted a .670 OPS last spring and still wound up an All-Star, so his slow start should not be any reason for concern.

Joining Brewers The Brewers acquired Contreras on Monday in a three-team deal with Atlanta and Oakland, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The exact details of the trade are still unclear, but Atlanta acquired Sean Murphy and Oakland landed Manny Pina. With Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud in Atlanta, Contreras wasn't going to have much of a role besides as a designated hitter. Instead, he heads to Milwaukee and figures to be an everyday staple in the Brewers' lineup. Last season was a breakout year for Contreras, who slashed .278/.354/.506 with 20 home runs in 97 games. His defense lags well behind his offense, but the Brewers have a track record of improving catcher defense, and there isn't anyone on the roster who would steal playing time if Contreras is hitting as expected.

Impact Contreras has a .782 OPS over his past 10 games and will take a seat Sunday for the second straight game. Marcell Ozuna will again serve as the designated hitter for Atlanta.

Impact Contreras went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Friday and will be excluded from the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Marcell Ozuna is serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh.

Takes seat Wednesday Contreras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Contreras is getting a breather for the series finale after he caught the past two games while Travis d'Arnaud rested. Though Contreras often handles designated-hitter duties on days d'Arnaud catches, manager Brian Snitker will tab Robbie Grossman for the DH role Wednesday.

Belts 20th homer Contreras went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a walk in a 6-3 victory over the Phillies on Saturday.

Impact Contreras went deep off Bailey Falter for his 20th home run of 2022. It has been a breakout season for the young catcher who has proven himself as one of top power bats at the thin position. Atlanta has only given Contreras 344 plate appearances this season, so he could be a 30-home run hitter with more playing time. The 24-year-old has a solid slash line of .279/.349/.519 this season.
