William Contreras Could Need Finger Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (finger) will visit with a hand specialist next week for a "potential correction" of his fractured left middle finger, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Contreras suffered a fractured finger way back in May but played through the injury. The 27-year-old Venezuelan backstop took a slight step back offensively in 2025, and it was likely due to his fractured finger. In 150 games played for the first-place Brewers, he hit .260/.355/.399 with a .754 OPS, 17 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, and six stolen bases in his 659 plate appearances. Contreras was still one of the better-hitting catchers in the league, but he wasn't as good as his 23-homer season in 2024. Even if Contreras needs to have his injured finger fixed via surgery this offseason, he should be ready to go for Opening Day in 2026.
