In a surprising move, the Brewers changed up their roster in one major way for Game 2 of their series against the Cubs.

Here is what they announced for their roster:

  • LF: Jackson Chourio
  • 2B: Brice Turang
  • 1B: Vaughn
  • C: William Contreras
  • DH: Gary Sanchez
  • RF: Luis Lara
  • 3B: Joey Ortiz
  • CF: Garrett Mitchell
  • SS: Cooper Pratt

Starting Pitcher: Jacob Misiorowski

The biggest change on this roster is removing Christian Yelich and adding Gary Sanchez.

Sanchez is a 33-year-old catcher.
