Garrett Mitchell Scratched on Wednesday With Illness
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (illness) has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals due to an illness, according to the team. Jackson Chourio will take over in center field and will bat second, while Tyler Black is starting in left field and hitting out of the seven-hole versus Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante. The Brewers have a scheduled day off on Thursday for travel, so Mitchell could be ready to rejoin the starting nine at home for Friday's series opener against the visiting New York Yankees at American Family Field. Mitchell, 27, has struggled at the plate so far in 2026, hitting just .219 (21-for-96) with one home run, 21 RBI, five stolen bases, and 15 runs scored in 32 games played. He hasn't reached his true power/speed potential in the big leagues with the Brew Crew, having not played more than 69 games due to injuries since debuting in Milwaukee in 2022. Because of his slow start, Mitchell is only rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues right now.
