Craig Yoho: Everything you need to know

The Brewers reinstated Yoho (calf) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Yoho has been on the injured list all season due to a right calf strain that he suffered during spring training. However, he's been playing in rehab games at Nashville since Sunday and has already pitched 2.1 shutout innings with the Sounds. The 26-year-old righty has dominated minor-league hitters throughout his minor-league career but gave up seven earned runs in just 8.2 innings with the Brewers last season. If he's able to come back from injury and right the ship in Triple-A, it may not be long before he gets another chance in Milwaukee's bullpen.

Yoho (calf) worked around a walk and a hit batsman to deliver a scoreless inning in his first rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Nashville. Yoho was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day after suffering a low-grade right soleus strain late in spring training. Since he projects to handle a traditional relief role that will rarely require him to cover more than an inning or two, Yoho shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment before being activated. However, given that Yoho struggled in his limited big-league action in 2025 and still has two minor-league options remaining, the Brewers may opt to keep him in Nashville once he's reinstated from the IL.

The Brewers placed Yoho (calf) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Yoho came down with a right calf strain in mid-March. The Brewers do not expect Yoho to be sidelined long and are targeting mid-April for his return to action.
