Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images | Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The Brewers have officially released their active roster for Opening Day! As of a few days ago, when the Brewers optioned Robert Gasser, Logan Henderson, and Shane Drohan to the minor leagues, it seemed certain which players would end up making the final cut.

But a late trade threw one curveball into the decision-making process, so while 25 of these 26 players were expected as of this weekend, one wasn’t even in the organization. Now presenting your 2026 Milwaukee Brewers ‼️ pic. twitter.

com/oyGp4xd53M — Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) March 25, 2026 That “one” is right-handed pitcher Jake Woodford, acquired from the Rays for minor-leaguer K. C. Hunt on Tuesday.

Woodford is out of minor league options, so that makes Easton McGee the odd man out; he has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers also officially placed several players on the injured list, and there is nothing unexpected here. Akil Baddoo, whose strained hamstring is expected to keep him out until June, has been placed on the 60-day IL, which opened the 40-man roster spot for Woodford.
