5:55pm : The Brewers have made it official, announcing Yohos selection. In corresponding moves, they optioned right-hander to open an active roster spot and transferred lefty to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot. Cortes landed on the 15-day IL in early April due to a flexor strain in his throwing elbow. His status is unclear but hes now unable to return until early June at the earliest. 2:20pm : The Brewers are going to select right-hander , reports . The righty isnt yet on Milwaukees 40-man roster, so they will have to make a corresponding move. Yoho, 25, wasnt really on the radar as of a few years ago but has been turning some heads lately. The Brewers drafted him with an eighth-round pick in 2023 and signed him to a tiny $10K bonus. He had only thrown 37 innings in Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Jersey college, on account of spending some time as a position player and also undergoing two Tommy John surgeries as well as a knee surgery. Since then, he has been surging through the minor leagues. Last year, he went from High-A to Double-A to Triple-A, to sing 57 2/3 innings with a 0.94 earned run average. He had a ma sive 42.4% strikeout rate, a pa sable 9.7% walk rate and strong 54.5% ground ball rate. ranked him the #15 prospect in the system coming into this year, noting that his changeup is easily his best pitch. Both his fastball and changeup have armside run and look similar out of the hand but are separated by about 13-14 miles per hour in terms of velocity, with his fastball in the 91-94 mph range and his changeup 77-81. He also mixes in a curveball on occasion. Yoho didnt break camp with the Brewers but has been posting strong numbers in Triple-A so far this year. He hasnt yet allowed an earned run in 9 2/3 innings, striking out nine opponents while giving out three walks and continuing to get grounders like last year. Milwaukee will give him a chance to see if the stuff plays against big league hitters. If it works out and he stays in the majors the rest of the way, its too late for him to get a full year of major league service time here in 2025. Photo courtesy of Curt Hogg, Imagn Images.
