The Milwaukee Brewers made a trade for pitchers Lance McCullers and Colton Gordon on July 17, 2026. McCullers is currently on the injured list, while Gordon is a depth option in need of a breakthrough. The Brewers sought to bolster their rotation depth after injuries sidelined key pitchers like Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison. Milwaukee managed to acquire both players by sending Jadyn Fielder to the Houston Astros, limiting their prospect losses. McCullers is expected to make his return from rehab soon, offering potential reinforcement for the rotation.
