Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Brewers fans and fans across the country.
We're back with another Reacts Survey, and this week we're asking fans to help us fill out a potential playoff rotation.
With the Brewers currently sitting with the best record in baseball at 85-53, the Crew is on track for a first-round bye in the postseason, meaning they would start things off with a best-of-five series in the NLDS before a pair of potential best-of-seven series in the NLCS and World Series.
It's more than likely that you need a four-man rotation in all three of those rounds, as a three-man rotation would give pitchers just three days of rest between outings. With Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson seemingly locked into the top two spots, it also seems likely that Kyle Harrison is the team's No. 3 arm (though some of his recent results — particularly Monday night's loss to the Cubs — may put that into question).
Assuming the top three options are Miz-Henderson-Harrison, who would you like to see round the rotation out? Trade deadline acquisition Dustin May? One of the young lefties in Shane Drohan or Robert Gasser? A bullpen game? Someone else?

Baseball is, quite clearly, a business.
The most recent example came Saturday, Aug. 8, with the Milwaukee Brewers designating Bryse Wilson for ******* ignment less than 24 hours after the right-hander threw three innings of one-hit baseball behind Shane Drohan in an 8-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins at American Family Field.
A nine-year veteran who rejoined the Brewers for his second tour of duty on July 10, Wilson posted a 2.63 ERA over six appearances (13 ⅔ innings) after making one appearance for the Philadelphia Phillies and two for the Chicago Cubs previously.
"Tough to send out a guy like Bryse after he really did his job multiple times, and has done his job here before and has been part of our success," manager Pat Murphy said. "He's a pro, though. He's a pro. He threw so few pitches yesterday that he could have come back in a day, but every day becomes critical.
"That's what it is."

Shane Drohan turned in six strong innings in a bounce-back outing, while the Brewers broke the game open with a five-run fifth inning fueled by home runs from Brice Turang and Jake Bauers. After dropping two of three to the Giants to open their California road trip, Milwaukee got back on track tonight with a 6-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
After neither team managed to score in the first, Bauers and Garrett Mitchell led off the top of the second with back-to-back singles off Angels starter Ryan Johnson. Up next was Cooper Pratt, who slapped a line drive into left field. With Bauers rounding third, Angels left fielder Jose Siri charged the ball in an attempt to gun him down at the plate but couldn't come up with it cleanly. By the time the dust settled, Pratt had reached second, Mitchell advanced to third, and Bauers had scored the Brewers' first run of the game.
Neither team scored again until the fifth, when Johnson walked Pratt to open the frame. Turang then hit a towering fly ball that had just enough carry to clear the center-field fence.
Johnson continued to unravel, allowing Jackson Chourio to single before walking William Contreras to put another rally in motion. He managed just one more out—a sharp lineout off the bat of Christian Yelich—before being pulled in favor of Jose Fermín, whose second pitch to Bauers, a slider low and inside, hung just long enough. Bauers crushed it 424 feet into the seats to make it 6-0, a lead that proved to be more than enough with Drohan on the mound.
Drohan was perfect the first time through the order. In the fourth, he allowed back-to-back singles to Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel before bouncing back to get Jorge Soler to ground into an inning-ending double play. He surrendered a two-run homer to Denzer Guzman in the fifth, bringing the Angels within four, but retired the side in order in the sixth to finish his night. After allowing five earned runs against Colorado in his previous outing, Drohan responded with one of his better starts of the season, earning his sixth win. He's now gone at least 5 2/3 innings in all six of his starts during the month of July.

The Brewers didn't get off to the best start on their six-game California road trip, dropping two of three to the San Francisco Giants. After an off day to regroup, they'll have as good an opportunity as any to get back on track against a Los Angeles Angels team that's tied with the Rockies for the worst record in baseball.
On the mound for the Brewers is left-hander Shane Drohan, who's been excellent in his first season with the organization. Drohan has posted a 3.51 ERA while striking out 82 batters in 82 innings this year. He was originally scheduled to start the series finale against the Giants, but Brewers manager Pat Murphy instead called up Thomas Pannone for a spot start to give his rotation a little extra rest.
The Angels will counter with 23-year-old right-hander Ryan Johnson, their second-round competitive balance selection in the 2024 draft. Johnson made headlines last season after breaking camp with the big league club despite never pitching in the minor leagues. He struggled to a 7.36 ERA across 14 relief appearances as a rookie and has posted an almost identical 7.34 ERA through 11 appearances (eight starts) this season.
As for the lineup, Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio will bat first and second for the second straight game, followed by designated hitter Christian Yelich. William Contreras will hit cleanup, with Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell batting fifth and sixth. Rounding out the lineup are Luis Lara (.832 OPS in his first 42 at-bats as a Brewer), David Hamilton, and Cooper Pratt. With Hamilton starting at third base, Joey Ortiz is out of the lineup again tonight.
One final piece of roster news: left-hander DL Hall, who owns a 2.03 ERA in 24 appearances this season, has been activated from the injured list. Pannone was designated for **** ignment in a corresponding move.

The Colorado Rockies played the Milwaukee Brewers' kind of game better than the Brewers did Friday afternoon.
Colorado attacked Shane Drohan with hard contact, created pressure on the bases, and turned productive outs into runs. Tomoyuki Sugano used his seven-pitch mix to keep Milwaukee from settling into a comfortable look, while the bullpen covered the final 3.2 innings without allowing a run.
The Rockies built a 4-1 lead by scoring in the first, third, and fourth innings. Christian Yelich and Brice Turang supplied Milwaukee's only damage against Sugano with solo home runs, but TJ Rumfield answered with a pinch-hit RBI double in the seventh to extend the advantage to 5-2.
Milwaukee made one final push in the ninth with back-to-back singles against Jordan Romano, bringing the tying run to the plate with **** ody out. Romano recovered by retiring Joey Ortiz, Gary Sánchez and Yelich to secure the win.
The Brewers entered the afternoon 26-7 in series openers under two-time reigning NL Manager of the Year Pat Murphy. They also entered allowing fewer stolen bases than any team in baseball.

The 2026 MLB Draft is underway and the Boston Red Sox have three picks on Day 1.
Boston has 19 picks this year, including No. 20 in the first round and No. 67 overall. The Red Sox acquired the 67th pick, which is a Competitive Balance Round B selection, from the Brewers on Feb. 9 in a six-player trade. In that deal, Boston acquired Caleb Durbin, Anthony Seigler and Andruw Monasterio for Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton and Shane Drohan.
Boston does not have a second-round pick or a fourth-round pick. The Sox forfeited those two selections when they signed qualified free agent Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million contract in January.
MassLive will be tracking all of the Red Sox' picks on July 11 and 12:
ROUND 1 (No. 20 overall): Jake Schaffner, SS, University of North Carolina

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to begin a five-game series in St. Louis against the Cardinals this week, beginning with a Monday night showdown at Busch Stadium.
Left-handed rookie Shane Drohan is set to get the ball for the Brewers, with right-handed veteran Dustin May toeing the **** p for St. Louis. Drohan, 27, is 3-2 this season with a 3.12 ERA, 3.18 FIP, and 59 strikeouts over 57 2/3 innings in 17 appearances, including seven starts. He’s looked solid in his last three outings against the Guardians and Reds (x2), totaling 15 innings with three runs allowed on 14 hits and seven walks, striking out 15. Drohan has made two relief appearances against the Cards this year, totaling 3 1/3 innings with one run allowed on two hits and a walk while striking out two. This will be his first start against them.
May, 28, had a solid stretch that included a one-hit shutout of the Padres in early June, but he’s struggled in his two most recent outings. While he has a 4.80 ERA and 3.37 FIP with 78 strikeouts over 84 1/3 innings this year, he totaled just 2 2/3 innings against the Royals and Braves, allowing 11 runs on 11 hits and three walks, though St. Louis won both of those games in high-scoring affairs. May has made two career starts against the Brewers, totaling 8 2/3 innings with an 0-1 record, 2.08 ERA, and 12 strikeouts. He went seven no-hit innings against the Brewers back in May, but he ultimately took the loss when he gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a hit by pitch in the eighth inning before exiting.
Christian Yelich bats leadoff as the DH, followed by Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang. William Contreras bats cleanup, with Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell to follow. Sal Frelick, Cooper Pratt, and David Hamilton round out the order in what is a lefty-heavy lineup.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Garrett Mitchell tripled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning to cap a four-hit night to help the NL Central Division-leading Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Wednesday night.
The Brewers (53-31) moved a season-high 22 games over .500 with their sixth straight victory over the Reds this season.
Aaron Ashby (12-1) won his major league-leading 12th game with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. He took over for starter Shane Drohan with two outs in the sixth. Trevor Megill pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
In the seventh, Reds center fielder Matt McLain, who was playing that position for the second time in his career after 77 games in the middle infield, dove and missed Andrew Vaughn’s sinking liner. Mitchell followed with his triple giving him a career-high fourth hit in a game. He then scored on a wild pitch by Brock Burke (3-4).
Drohan allowed two runs on six hits and matched his season high with seven strikeouts.

Anthony Seigler is quickly becoming one of the Red Sox's best surprise stories originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox have been having an overall bad season this year, and one of the biggest reasons for it is because of players being hurt. Their starters have been plagued by injuries, and even the backups as well.
Boston’s middle infield has taken the brunt of the injuries, with guys like Trevor Story, Marcelo Mayer, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Nick Sogard all on the IL. However, because of those injuries, the Sox have found they have more depth than they previously thought, as guys like Anthony Seigler are breaking out.

The Red Sox acquired Seigler as a part of the Caleb Durbin trade, alongside Andruw Monasterio and dealt Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton and Shane Drohan.

The Brewers have only scored four runs in the first two games of their three-game series in Cincinnati, yet they’ve managed to win both games: a 2-1 extra-innings victory on Monday and a 2-0 shutout on Tuesday. Brandon Woodruff and Brandon Sproat both turned in outstanding, nearly identical pitching performances against a struggling Reds offense; Shane Drohan’s name isn’t Brandon, but Drohan I guess sounds a little bit like Brandon, so we’ll see if he can keep the good vibes going.
Drohan is expected to be returned to relief duty, or at least swingman duty, after tonight’s start. He’s been an important part of the Brewers’ success this season, and has thrown important innings both out of the bullpen (where he has been excellent) and out of the rotation. Overall, Drohan is 3-2 with a 3.40 ERA and 3.17 FIP in five starts and ten relief appearances that have covered 47 2/3 innings. This will be Drohan’s fifth straight appearance as a starter.
The Reds will send the young right-hander Rhett Lowder to the mound. Lowder debuted in 2024 but is still just 24 years old, and he’ll be making his 12th appearance (all starts) of the season. Injuries kept him out of the 2025 season, but he was outstanding in six starts to finish 2024. This season hasn’t gone quite as well: in 52 1/3 innings, Lowder has a 4.82 ERA and 4.46 FIP. His struggles are apparent in his strikeout and walk numbers: he’s struck out just 42 batters this season (7.2 per nine) which has been exacerbated by sky-high walks numbers (4.8 per nine innings).
A roster note today: Abner Uribe, who has been “appealing” his suspension since the end of May, dropped that appeal today. Strategically timed, as Uribe pitched in each of the first two games of the series and surely would’ve been out tonight no matter what. It will be interesting to see what the Brewers do if this is another close game: with Uribe unavailable and both Aaron Ashby and Trevor Megill having pitched in each of the first two games of the series, things might get interesting.
The Brewers, then, will just go for a blowout to clinch the sweep. It’s a lefty-heavy lineup with Lowder on the mound, as the only right-handed bats in the lineup are Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, and Cooper Pratt. Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick join Chourio in the outfield, while David Hamilton plays third, Jake Bauers is at first, and Brice Turang plays second.
Drohan is expected to be returned to relief duty, or at least swingman duty, after tonight’s start. He’s been an important part of the Brewers’ success this season, and has thrown important innings both out of the bullpen (where he has been excellent) and out of the rotation. Overall, Drohan is 3-2 with a 3.40 ERA and 3.17 FIP in five starts and ten relief appearances that have covered 47 2/3 innings. This will be Drohan’s fifth straight appearance as a starter.
The Reds will send the young right-hander Rhett Lowder to the mound. Lowder debuted in 2024 but is still just 24 years old, and he’ll be making his 12th appearance (all starts) of the season. Injuries kept him out of the 2025 season, but he was outstanding in six starts to finish 2024. This season hasn’t gone quite as well: in 52 1/3 innings, Lowder has a 4.82 ERA and 4.46 FIP. His struggles are apparent in his strikeout and walk numbers: he’s struck out just 42 batters this season (7.2 per nine) which has been exacerbated by sky-high walks numbers (4.8 per nine innings).

The Milwaukee Brewers are looking for a sweep of the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday afternoon, as they’ll also look to lock up a 5-1 homestand against the Phillies and Guards.
After a closely fought 2-1 win in Tuesday’s series opener, the Brewer bats came alive last night to win 9-4 against Cleveland ace Gavin Williams. They’ll try to keep things rolling today in a matchup of rookie southpaws, with Shane Drohan getting the start opposite the Guardians’ Parker Messick.
Drohan, 27, is making his fifth start of the season and fourth consecutive appearance from the rotation. In those last three outings, he’s totaled 15 1/3 innings against the Giants, Rockies, and Phillies, allowing nine runs on 17 hits and three walks while striking out 16 in a pair of blowout victories and a high-scoring loss. For the season, he has a 3.59 ERA, 2.72 FIP, and 44 strikeouts over 42 2/3 innings.
Messick, 25, was a second-round pick in 2022 out of Florida State. He debuted last August but held rookie status through this season. His stats in 2025 and 2026 are nearly identical, so I’ll summarize them as a whole: over 21 career starts, he has a 2.69 ERA, 3.21 FIP, and 120 strikeouts across 120 1/3 innings, totaling 3.7 bWAR. He’s coming off a pair of losses, though, as he allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and four walks over 11 1/3 innings in losses to the Rangers and Yankees. He struck out four batters in both of those outings.
In some negative injury news, we’ve learned that Quinn Priester, who has missed the entire season while dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, has opted for “season-ending first rib removal surgery,” that will keep him out eight to 10 months until he’s fully healthy. Priester has had multiple rehab stints in the last two months, but he’s struggled with command, with a 15.75 ERA on 24 walks and 22 hits over just 16 innings over eight appearances. Here’s what he had to say about the injury:
