Brewers Seek Series Win in Denver Amidst Injuries
5 Jun
Summary
- Brewers lead NL Central by five games.
- Multiple Brewers and Rockies players are day-to-day.
- The series is predicted to be high-scoring due to Denver's altitude.
The Milwaukee Brewers, holding a five-game lead in the NL Central, are traveling to Denver for a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. As of June 5, 2026, the Brewers stand at 37-23, while the Rockies are in last place in the NL West at 24-39.
Both teams are managing significant injury concerns. The Brewers recently lost DL Hall to pectoral discomfort and Grant Anderson to a contusion, with Rob Zastryzny also on the injured list. Several other pitchers are nearing returns. Colorado also has multiple players day-to-day, including TJ Rumfield and Tyler Freeman, with outfielders Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak, and Brenton Doyle currently sidelined.
Pitching matchups for the series include Brandon Sproat vs. Ryan Feltner on Friday, June 5, Jacob Misiorowski vs. Tanner Gordon on Saturday, June 6, and Shane Drohan vs. Kyle Freeland on Sunday, June 7. Freeland, a former Cy Young contender, has struggled significantly this season with an 8.06 ERA.
The high-altitude environment of Denver and the struggles of some pitchers on both sides lead to predictions of a high-scoring series. Despite a challenging history in Colorado, the Brewers are favored to win two out of three games, repeating their success from the previous year's series win.
