Brewers hitting coach Al Leboeuf returns to team after cancer surgery
Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Al LeBoeuf has returned to the team after leaving earlier this month to have surgery for prostate cancer. LeBoeuf is coaching in the majors for the first time this year. The Brewers named him lead hitting coach last October after he'd worked as a hitting coach in Triple-A the previous six seasons. 'We're happy he's back,' manager Pat Murphy said. 'Any time anybody goes through something like that it's difficult. We kept in good contact and he was eager to be back and be part of it.' The Brewers have three hitting coaches on staff: LeBoeuf, Connor Dawson, and Eric Theisen. LeBoeuf, 65, is in his 16th season in the Brewers organization with many Milwaukee hitters having long ties with him that began as they worked their way through the minors, including leadoff hitter Sal Frelick. 'We love Buffy so much. I've been with him for the past four or five years now,' said Frelick, who was one of three Brewers players to hit home runs in an 8-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. 'It was really tough losing him for a little bit. Everyone said their prayers and luckily he was able to have a good procedure and he's healing up quick. So happy to have him back.'

Cubs 3, Brewers 0: Nightmare first inning for The Miz and Milwaukee
Here we go. The biggest series of the 2025 season to date is here, as the Milwaukee Brewers welcomed the Chicago Cubs for the first of three games at American Family Field on Monday, July 28. With sole possession of first place in the National League Central on the line, right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (4-1, 2.45) makes the biggest start of his young career for the Brewers while all-star lefty Matthew Boyd (11-3, 2.20) counters for the Cubs. More: Life is changing for 'The Miz' as the Brewers phenom takes baseball by storm More: Milwaukee Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski pulls his own rare baseball card from pack in Greenfield shop The Brewers also made several roster moves prior to the game, most notably recalling right-hander Craig Yoho from Class AAA Nashville and optioning right-hander Tobias Myers there. Adding Yoho gives Milwaukee a fresh bullpen arm, while Myers is expected to return to starting with the Sounds with the potential for another callup later in the year. Also, left-hander Rob Zastryzny was recalled from his minor-league rehab assignment and remains on the injured list with a rib injury that manager Pat Murphy termed "concerning." More: As the MLB trade deadline nears Thursday, here's a rundown of Milwaukee Brewers trade rumors A disastrous first inning for The Miz Michael Busch dropped a single in front of Jackson Chourio to lead off, a play that probably could have been made with a better read off the bat. Kyle Tucker followed by drawing a walk. Seiya Suzuki then capped a six-pitch at-bat by smoking a grounder up the middle that caught the inside of Misiorowski's leg and bounced into foul territory, loading the bases. Misiorowski responded with a strikeout of Pete Crow-Armstrong, but Strike 3 came on a changeup that he spiked into the dirt and the ball squirted past William Contreras allowing Busch to score. A looking strikeout of Carson Kelly left Misiorowski one out away from minimizing the damage, but he completely botched a swinging bunt to the left of the mound off the bat of Ian Happ by throwing the ball well over the head of first baseman Andrew Vaughn. Tucker and Suzuki both came in to score as Chicago's lead grew to 3-0, and pitching coach Chris Hook visited Misiorowski on the mound to try to calm him down. Misiorowski finally finished the inning with a strikeout of Nico Hoerner, but the damage had been done – a three-run deficit, a pitch count of 40 and DL Hall warming in the bullpen.
