Milwaukee got battered around by the New York Yankees to start the season. The Brewers allowed a slew of home runs to Aaron Judge and company, who used torpedo bats. It was a very disappointing start for the team, who won the National League Central Division last year.

The Brewers have corrected course somewhat since. Milwaukee is 13-14 on the season heading into Saturday's game with St. Louis. The club has won five of the last 10 games.

Milwaukee has big plans for Mitchell this season. In 2024, the young outfielder had a breakout season. He hit at a .255 batting average, while posting career highs in at-bats and games played. Mitchell finished the year with 50 hits and 21 runs batted in.

The Brewers and their fans are hoping the outfielder can return soon. Milwaukee is in danger of falling off in the NL Central, if the wins don't start coming. The Brewers are four games behind in the division, heading into Saturday.

Milwaukee and St. Louis play Saturday, with the first pitch scheduled for 2:15 ET.
