CINCINNATI — Milwaukee's newest player was born to be a Brewer. The Brewers recalled outfielder Brewer Hicklen from Triple-A Nashville before their 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds. This marks the first time in franchise history that the Brewers' roster has included a player named Brewer. Hicklen told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in spring training that Brewer was his great-great-grandmother's maiden name. Hicklen batted fifth and started in right field in his first major league appearance since 2022. He went 0 for 2.
