Milwaukee is coming off a series split with the Cardinals, as the second game of the series was rained out and rescheduled for early July. The Crew is now 19-16 on the season, tied for third place in the NL Central (though the rest of the division is all in action on Thursday). On the other side, the Yankees have won six of their seven games this month, including taking two of three from the Rangers entering the weekend.

They’re now 26-12 on the season, giving them the best record in the American League. Also of note: This is the first matchup between these two teams since the Yankees crushed the Brewers to begin the 2025 season. In that three-game set, the Yankees won 4-2, 20-9, and 12-3 and hit 15 home runs thanks to the magical torpedo bats.

With the return of Chourio and first baseman Andrew Vaughn, the Brewers’ injured list suddenly looks much more manageable. While Garrett Mitchell and Brice Turang both missed a game due to illness this week, it doesn’t seem like anything serious. The only injured regular position player is Christian Yelich, who is expected to take live at-bats next week, with a return in the coming weeks still likely.
