The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. Dunn has started at third base all 11 times the Brewers have faced a right-handed pitcher this season, but he'll head back to the minors after slashing just .167/.205/.222 across 41 plate appearances. The Brewers have not announced a corresponding roster move, but they could recall Caleb Durbin from Nashville to take over as their primary option at the hot corner.
Frelick went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers. The 24-year-old outfielder took Keider Montero deep in the sixth inning for a solo shot, and the afternoon's final run, as he drove a changeup up in the zone 408 feet to right-center field. It was Frelick's first long ball of the season, but he's had an impressive beginning to the season without big-time power, slashing .318/.408/.455 through 19 games with five steals, six RBI and 11 runs.
Quintana (2-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over Detroit, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four. The veteran southpaw couldn't match the seven scoreless innings he tossed in his season debut, but Quintana was still sharp in his second outing of 2025. He tossed 58 of 100 pitches for strikes, including 20 called strikes as he kept Tigers hitters guessing. Quintana will take a 0.71 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB through his first 12.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in San Francisco.
Frelick went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Tigers. Frelick began his day with a triple in the second inning and crossed home shortly thereafter. He reached again in the sixth and stole his fifth base of the year, which pushed him ahead of Brice Turang for the team lead. Frelick also leads the ballclub with a .403 on-base percentage to compliment his .306 batting average through 72 plate appearances.
Turang went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers. Turang reached in the first and swiped second for his fourth steal of the year. He's now tallied a hit in all but one game so far this season though he does not have an extra-base hit since he homered April 8. The 25-year-old is slashing .329/.367/.466 with three homers, 10 RBI, 17 runs and a 4:17 BB:K in 79 plate appearances.
Dunn went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers. Dunn walked and stole second in the eighth for his first steal of the year. He had just three steals in 41 games last year and doesn't run a ton. The 27-year-old is slashing just .171/.211/.229 with five RBI, four runs and a 2:11 BB:K in 39 plate appearances.
Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Tigers. Hoskins got the scoring started with a solo blast in the second that traveled 440 feet. That was his first home run and first three-hit game of the year. He raised his batting average 47 points and is now slashing .229/.345/.313 with six RBI, three runs and an 8:14 BB:K in 58 plate appearances.
Priester (1-0) allowed just one hit and walked three while tossing five scoreless innings in a win against the Tigers on Tuesday. He struck out four. Priester was dominant in his first home start as a member of the Brewers. He did not give up a hit until the very last batter he faced, which was a leadoff double in the sixth by Gleyber Torres, leading to a pitching change with the game being close. Priester's been an excellent acquisition for the Brewers early on, allowing just one run on seven hits in 10 innings. He lines up for a road start in San Francisco next week.
