In Game 1 of the 2026 World Series, 24‑year‑old Brewers right‑hander Jacob Misiorowski recorded his first strikeout, sparking an electric reaction from the crowd at American Family Field. The strikeout came after Misiorowski set a World Series record with a 103.5 mph fastball to Tampa Bay’s Yandy Díaz, eclipsing Aroldis Chapman’s 2016 mark. The Milwaukee rookie, who posted a 1.80 ERA and a league‑leading 252 strikeouts during the regular season, leads the Brewers in their first Fall Classic since 1982, as the team chases its first championship.

Brewers Add 2 Time All-Star Starting Pitcher To World Series Roster – Breaking News
The Milwaukee Brewers add two‑time All‑Star right‑hander Brandon Woodruff to their 26‑man World Series roster, replacing right‑hander Chad Patrick ahead of Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Oct. 23, 2026. Woodruff, who last pitched on July 4 and recovered from a shoulder injury without surgery, posts a 2‑2 record and a 2.98 ERA over nine starts this season and brings a career 55‑30 record, 3.10 ERA and eight postseason appearances (3.18 ERA, 40 strikeouts). Manager Pat Murphy gains another veteran arm as the Brewers chase their first championship since 1982.
Milwaukee Bucks face further scrutiny after giving Gary Trent Jr. a DNP vs. Washington Wizards
The NBA opens an investigation into the Milwaukee Bucks after they signed guard Gary Trent Jr. to a four‑year, $64 million deal this summer, then left him out of the lineup in the Bucks’ 128‑116 season‑opening loss to the Washington Wizards on Oct. 23, 2026. Trent, who posted just 8.1 points on 38.7% shooting in 2025‑26, has seen limited action—only two preseason games and a brief 11‑point outing against Minnesota—raising questions about possible salary‑cap circumvention. General manager Jon Horst defended the contract, citing Trent’s elite shooting potential, but the league will now scrutinize whether the deal violated cap rules.
Josh Jacobs: “if it’s up to me, I’m going to try to play”
Packers RB Josh Jacobs says he’s ready to play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, though the final decision rests with coach Matt LaFleur. Jacobs returned to practice Wednesday after being on the commissioner’s exempt list following a May arrest and a pending personal‑conduct review. He missed the first six games, during which Green Bay’s rushing attack fell to a league‑worst 59.8 yards per game. Jacobs, who posted 929 yards and 13 TDs in 2025 and 1,329 yards with 15 TDs in 2024, notes his body feels its best yet and he’s adapting to new offensive linemen. The Packers (4‑2) host the Lions (3‑2) at 3:25 p.m. CT on FOX.
Green Bay Packers’ secondary will play a pivotal role in stopping the Detroit Lions in Week 7
The Packers aim to extend their three-game streak by shutting down a high-flying Detroit Lions offense led by Jared Goff, who boasts a 111.3 passer rating and 12 TDs with zero interceptions in 191 attempts. Green Bay’s secondary, currently NFL’s leader in takeaways with nine interceptions, leans on Xavier McKinney’s three picks and safety Evan Williams’s two. After a 23-13 win over Dallas, the defense’s ball‑hawking prowess could be the deciding factor in Week 7 at Ford Field.
Former Milwaukee Bucks guard reportedly has drawn interest from two Western Conference teams, per insider
Former Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr., who posted 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game in 2025-26, is drawing interest from the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets, according to insider Jake Fischer. Porter was waived on Oct. 11 after knee surgery and preseason struggles, as Milwaukee opened roster spots for younger backs in its post‑Giannis rebuild. Sacramento sees him as a veteran backup behind rookie Darius Acuff Jr., while Denver’s cap concerns make a deal less likely. As a free agent, Porter could land a minimum‑salary role with a playoff team.
Micah Parsons return could shape Packers’ interest in Josh Sweat trade
The Packers and Cowboys are both eyeing pass rusher Josh Sweat as the NFL trade deadline nears on Nov. 10. ESPN analysts note Dallas needs edge help, while Green Bay’s interest hinges on Micah Parsons returning from an ACL injury. If Parsons comes back, Green Bay could pair him with Lukas Van Ness, lessening the need for Sweat. Still, the Packers’ link to former Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon keeps the trade rumor alive. Dallas, struggling with only eight sacks this season, may still be the better fit for Sweat’s talent.
Josh Jacobs says his time away from the Packers was ‘one of the best things’ for his life
Packers running back Josh Jacobs says the months he spent off the field after his May misdemeanor arrest were “one of the best things” for his life, forcing him to reevaluate his priorities. He pleaded no contest to battery and property damage, missed the first six games on the commissioner’s exempt list, and returned to practice on Oct. 22. Jacobs apologized to teammates and the organization, thanked those who backed him, and emphasized personal growth and gratitude toward the team. Coach Matt LaFleur backs a second chance, though Jacobs’ status for the upcoming Sunday game against Detroit remains uncertain.
MLB Network analysts pick Milwaukee Brewers Brice Turang as World Series MVP
MLB Network analysts Matt Vasgersian and Mark DeRosa both name Brewers second baseman Brice Turang as their pick for the 2026 World Series MVP, even as they predict Milwaukee will win the championship. Turang, who helped the Brewers sweep the Dodgers in the NLCS and posted a .268/.21‑home‑run regular season, has struggled in the playoffs with a .222 average, one homer and two RBIs. The analysts cite his speed and power potential, and he joins teammates William Contreras, Jake Bauers, Cooper Pratt, and rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski in the MVP conversation.
Jacob Misiorowski calls Brewers’ World Series run a “Dream come true”
Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski calls the team's World Series berth a “dream come true” as he prepares to start Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday at 8 p.m. ET. The 24‑year‑old, a potential NL Cy Young winner, entered the playoffs riding a league‑leading 252 strikeouts and a 1.80 ERA, and has posted a 3.24 ERA with 11 strikeouts in two postseason outings. Known for his 104 mph fastball, Misiorowski hopes his dominance can finally deliver Milwaukee its first championship, despite the Rays’ aggressive batting approach.
Mark Attanasio reveals Milwaukee Brewers’ mindset behind Tarik Skubal trade pursuit
Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio explains why the club passed on a late‑season trade for Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, emphasizing the mantra “this team was built, not bought.” Attanasio says the Brewers feared losing too many prospects for only a few months of control, and the Dodgers ultimately secured Skubal. The decision proved moot as Milwaukee sweeps the Dodgers in the NLCS and advances to the World Series. Attanasio discussed the talks on The Show with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman, noting the team’s depth and confidence in its existing roster.
Green Bay Packers share Jordan Love, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden injury updates
The Packers enter Week 7 riding a three‑game streak, highlighted by a 23‑13 win over Dallas, but quarterback Jordan Love, WR Christian Watson and rookie WR Matthew Golden sit on the injury report after limited practice. Love says back soreness won’t keep him from facing the Detroit Lions, and both receivers appear healthy—Watson leads the team with 538 receiving yards and six TDs, while Golden adds 501 yards and three scores. Detroit’s league‑worst pass defense (297.4 yards/game) could let Green Bay’s aerial attack shine.
Bob Uecker’s family shares emotional message as Milwaukee Brewers return to World Series
The Milwaukee Brewers head to the 2026 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, their first Fall Classic appearance since 1982, sparking citywide excitement. In a heartfelt tribute, the family of legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker—who spent over 50 years with the team before his death in January 2025—shares a rallying message: “Let’s get loud, let’s do this together, let’s win OUR way!” They praise the players, manager Pat Murphy, and the broadcast crew for honoring Uecker’s legacy and carrying Milwaukee’s pride onto the field. Game 1 kicks off Friday night.
Milwaukee Brewers Name Starting Pitcher For Game 1 Of The World Series
The Milwaukee Brewers announce 24‑year‑old right‑hander Jacob Misiorowski as their Game 1 starter in the 2026 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Misiorowski entered the postseason after a league‑leading 252 strikeouts, a 16‑5 record and a 1.80 ERA over 174 innings in a franchise‑record 103‑win season. He previously opened both the NLDS and NLCS, though his playoff outings fell short of five innings each. With 11 days of rest, the Brewers hope he regains his regular‑season dominance and sets the tone for Milwaukee’s first World Series appearance since 1982.
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie reveals the fun part about playing with Aaron Rodgers
Rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard helped the Steelers rally past the Buccaneers 26-19 in Week 6, catching 11 passes for 87 yards and scoring the overtime winner on a six‑yard pass from Aaron Rodgers. Bernard told the Not Just Football podcast that Rodgers’ calm pep talk and play‑calling eased the offense’s pressure during a 13‑point fourth‑quarter comeback. Rodgers praised Bernard, noting he set a Steelers record for most receptions from the quarterback in a game and became the first rookie with at least 80 yards, 10 catches and a TD in a single outing. The interview highlights the fun, low‑stress dynamic between the veteran MVP and the 22‑year‑old Alabama product.
Packers OC Adam Stenavich reveals what he wants from Aaron Banks
Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich says left guard Aaron Banks is still a work in progress ahead of the Week 7 clash with the Detroit Lions. Banks has returned to practice after knee and toe issues but isn’t yet cleared to play. Stenavich emphasizes the need for full health and consistent performance before reinserting the veteran into the lineup, though he welcomes his return. The team remains doubtful on Banks’ status despite signs of improvement, leaving the Lions game as a key test for his recovery.
Taylor Jenkins reveals what the Milwaukee Bucks need to ‘clean up’ in opening loss vs. Washington Wizards
The Milwaukee Bucks fall 128-116 on the road to the Washington Wizards in their 2026‑27 season opener, and head coach Taylor Jenkins says the loss exposed glaring defensive flaws. The Wizards surged in the fourth quarter with a 21‑2 run, outscoring the Bucks 38‑23 in the final frame and forcing 41 free‑throw attempts while scoring 70 points in the paint. Jenkins singled out the need to tighten shell defense, especially limiting paint congestion and bonus trips. Star forward Kyle Kuzma admitted the team “let go of the rope” during the run but remains optimistic about the positives. The coach also hinted that the opening‑night rotation isn’t set in stone.
Milwaukee Bucks: 3 studs and duds from season-opening loss to Washington Wizards
The Bucks fell 119-106 to the Wizards on Oct. 21, 2026 after a strong first half but sputtering in the second as Anthony Davis poured 34 points and 12 rebounds. Milwaukee’s bright spots were Tyler Herro’s 24 points and nine assists, rookie Brayden Burries’ 12 points in 16 minutes, and Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s 22 points on 8‑of‑12 shooting. The biggest let‑downs came from Kyle Kuzma (5 points on 2‑of‑9), Ryan Rollins (9 points on 4‑of‑14) and backup center Kel‑el Ware, who was disqualified after six fouls. The game highlights the Bucks’ uneven start and the need for a more consistent rotation.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Myles Turner sends clear message to the team after first loss vs. Washington Wizards
Myles Turner frames the Bucks’ 128-116 road loss to the Washington Wizards on Oct. 21 as a vital learning moment in their 2026-27 rebuilding year. Despite leading 96-90 early in the fourth, Milwaukee surrendered a 21-2 Wizards run to fall short. Turner emphasized the need for consistent habits and a win‑oriented mindset, while rookie Tyler Herro contributed 24 points, nine assists and highlighted the team’s ball movement with 28 assists on 41 made shots. Coach Taylor Jenkins praised the debut rotation, hinting it’s still fluid as the Bucks aim to improve night after night.
Brayden Burries’ Milwaukee Bucks debut vs. Washington Wizards draws glowing review from Taylor Jenkins
The Milwaukee Bucks fall 128-116 to the Washington Wizards, but rookie combo guard Brayden Burries shines in his NBA debut, logging 12 points and five rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench. Drafted 10th overall, Burries impressed head coach Taylor Jenkins with his shooting, defensive reads and two‑way impact, earning glowing praise. Veteran scorers Tyler Herro (24), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (22) and Kasparas Jakucionis (15) lead the Bucks, while Myles Turner adds 11 points. Burries reflects on his first free throws and an early and‑one, calling the experience a "blessing."
Matt LaFleur calls Josh Jacobs a ‘Good Person’ in message about second chances
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur publicly supports running back Josh Jacobs, calling him “a good person” and emphasizing the team’s belief in second chances. Jacobs, a 2022 first‑team All‑Pro, sat out the first six games on the NFL’s Exempt List after entering no‑contest pleas to misdemeanor battery and property‑damage charges stemming from a May domestic incident. He has resumed practice, but the league’s investigation continues and could still result in discipline. Green Bay’s rushing attack remains a weak spot—averaging just 59.8 yards per game—as the Packers approach their Week 7 matchup with Detroit, with Jacobs’ eligibility still uncertain.
Milwaukee Brewers legend Robin Yount reveals what it will take to move past 1982 heartbreak
Hall of Famer Robin Yount says the sting of the Brewers’ 1982 World Series loss still haunts him as the team prepares for its first Fall Classic in 44 years. Yount, a two‑time AL MVP who hit .414 against the Cardinals in that seven‑game series, will join former owner‑turned‑commissioner Bud Selig in throwing the ceremonial first pitch before Friday’s opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. Milwaukee earned its NL pennant by sweeping the Dodgers, and a potential Game 7 looms on Halloween. Yount admits he won’t be satisfied until the Brewers finally win the title.
Ian Rapoport shares encouraging Josh Jacobs update ahead of Lions game
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs is cleared to return for Week 7 against the Detroit Lions after being removed from the commissioner’s exempt list tied to a battery case with a former girlfriend. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports Jacobs is eligible to play Sunday and has resumed practice, though the league’s disciplinary decision remains pending. The Packers, whose rushing attack ranks last in the NFL at 59.8 yards per game, could benefit from his 1,329-yard, 15‑touchdown rookie season and 929 yards with 13 TDs in 2025. Jacobs is expected to suit up despite the ongoing legal backdrop.
MLB rule could keep Brandon Woodruff off Milwaukee Brewers’ World Series roster
The Brewers face a roster dilemma ahead of Game 1 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Right‑hander Brandon Woodruff, sidelined since July 4 with a shoulder injury, has improved enough to consider pitching, but MLB rules allow replacements only for acute, non‑chronic injuries. Officials fear his injury could be deemed pre‑existing, preventing the team from adding another arm if he relapses. Woodruff’s history of arm problems—limited action in 2023, missing all of 2024, and a long stretch in 2025—adds risk to the decision. Milwaukee must weigh his potential upside against the roster rule’s constraints.
