Brosseau went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a home run in Friday's spring game versus the Guardians.
Brosseau entered spring training competing for an infield spot on the Brewers' roster, and he has made a strong case thus far, hitting three homers and posting a 3:3 BB:K over his first six exhibition contests. Should Brosseau break camp with the big club, expect him to see the bulk of his at-bats against southpaws, against whom he hit .274 last season and posted an .822 OPS over the last three campaigns.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Avoids arbitration with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Brosseau agreed to a one-year contract with the Brewers on Thursday to avoid arbitration.
Brosseau enjoyed a productive first year in Milwaukee with a .255/.344/.418 slash line in 70 games, and he was able to reach a deal for next season without requiring an arbiter. The 28-year-old saw most of his action against left-handing pitching and is likely to fill a similar role in 2023.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Back from injured list
Rotowire
Brosseau (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Brosseau has been sidelined the past couple weeks by an oblique strain, but he'll rejoin Milwaukee's active roster after he went 3-for-5 with two walks, an RBI and a run in two rehab games with High-A Wisconsin. The 28-year-old should return to a utility role for the Brewers now that he's healthy.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
Brosseau was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right oblique.
The 28-year-old has been playing through the injury for the past few weeks, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, and the Brewers opted to put him on the shelf after he exited Monday's contest. Pablo Reyes was called up from Triple-A Nashville and should fill a utility role with Brosseau out, at least until Jace Peterson (elbow) finishes up his rehab assignment and is reinstated from the IL.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Reports to High-A for rehab
Rotowire
Brosseau (ankle) will join High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Brosseau, who has been on the shelf since June 3 with a sprained right ankle, will likely require a few games in the minors before the Brewers are comfortable bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. Once activated, Brosseau will likely handle a short-side platoon role at third or second base.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Rehab assignment on tap
Rotowire
Brosseau (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment next week, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Brosseau has been sidelined with a right ankle sprain since early June, but he resumed jogging, taking swings and throwing last week. The 28-year-old should be cleared to return to game action in the minors in the coming days, but the Brewers haven't revealed what affiliate Brosseau will join. Regardless of the affiliate, it's possible that Brosseau will be reinstated from the injured list late next week or sometime next weekend.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Resumes baseball activities
Rotowire
Brosseau (ankle) has resumed jogging, taking swings and throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Brosseau has been on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle sprain since June 3, and he's hopeful that he'll be able to return sometime during the Brewers' upcoming series against the Mets, which begins Tuesday. The Brewers have been cautious when bringing players back from the injured list this year, but Brosseau is pushing to return to game action sooner rather than later. Once he's healthy, the 28-year-old should provide utility depth for Milwaukee.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Brosseau was unavailable Thursday against the Padres due to a sprained ankle, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It was surprising to see Jace Peterson earn the starting nod over Brosseau with lefty Sean Manaea on the mound, though there is now clarity on that decision. It's unclear how long Brosseau will be sidelined, but Peterson has hit well this season -- he tied the game with a three-RBI triple in the ninth inning Thursday -- and he should have a clear path to playing time so long as Willy Adames (ankle) remains sidelined.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Swats solo shot in win
Rotowire
Brosseau went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Padres.
Brosseau put Milwaukee on the board in the fifth inning with a game-tying home run -- his third of the season -- before Tyrone Taylor's three-run blast an inning later salted the game away for the Brewers. The Brewers handed the righty-hitting Brosseau the start at third base with southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for the Padres, but Brosseau doesn't look as though he'll be anything more than short-side platoon player unless Milwaukee loses more regulars in the infield to injuries.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Recalled by Milwaukee
Rotowire
Brosseau was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Brosseau has appeared in 15 games for the Brewers this year, and he's hit .250 with a homer, four RBI and two runs. He'll provide an extra right-handed bat off the bench after Andrew McCutchen (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Optioned to Nashville
Rotowire
Brosseau was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
Brosseau served in the short side of a platoon at third base early in the year, and he hit .250 with a home run, four RBI and two runs over 15 games with Milwaukee. The 28-year-old will head to the minors since the Brewers need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday, and he should see more consistent at-bats in Nashville.

Brewers' Mike Brosseau: Draws sixth start of season
Rotowire
Brosseau will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Giants.
Brosseau will crack the lineup for the sixth time this season, with all of his starts coming at third base, where he's filled the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Jace Peterson. Both Brosseau and Peterson are soon expected to see their opportunities to play the hot corner take a hit, as Luis Urias (quadriceps) looks on track to return from the injured list later this week.
