The position player group that the Milwaukee Brewers were expected to carry on their Opening Day roster appeared mostly set for much of the 2026 spring exhibition season. An infield consisting of Andrew Vaughn and Jake Bauers at first base, Brice Turang at second base, Joey Ortiz at short, Luis Rengifo at third, and David Hamilton as the utility man seemingly remains unchanged just one week from Opening Day. As does the Brewers' catching corps, which is almost certain to consist of William Contreras and Gary Sánchez.
In the outfield, most fans were expecting to see a starting group of Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, and Jackson Chourio, with Blake Perkins as the fourth outfielder, and Christian Yelich receiving starts here and there, but primarily serving as the team's designated hitter.
