The Milwaukee Brewers are set to finalize their 26-man roster for the National League Division Series, beginning October 3 at American Family Field. They have a clear expectation of key players to include, such as catchers William Contreras, Bo Naylor, and Gary Sánchez, as well as infielders Jake Bauers and David Hamilton. However, decisions are still pending on whether to carry 13 or 14 position players and how to deploy outfielders Jackson Chourio and Garrett Mitchell. The Brewers are evaluating their pitching options, particularly after the first two games, with Robert Gasser and Dustin May likely to play significant roles in the rotation.
