Milwaukee Brewers Head to Boston for Key Series Clash Against Red Sox The Milwaukee Brewers, riding a three-game winning streak to open the 2026 season and sitting at 7-2 overall, are set to face the Boston Red Sox in a pivotal series beginning April 6. The matchup marks a rematch of a contentious trade history between the two teams, as Milwaukee acquired pitchers Quinn Priester and Kyle Harrison, along with outfielders Shane Drohan and David Hamilton, in a 2024 deal. In exchange, Boston sent Yophery Rodriguez, two draft picks, a player to be named later (John Holobetz), Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler. So far, the Brewers have thrived with Priester and Harrison contributing solidly, while the Red Sox have struggled to integrate Durbin and Monasterio into their lineup. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have stumbled to a 2-7 start through their first three series, losing two of three to the Cincinnati Reds, being swept by the Houston Astros, and falling two of three to the San Diego Padres in their most recent set. Their struggles have been compounded by injuries, with key players sidelined. For Milwaukee, Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio are expected to miss significant time, with Vaughn out until mid-May and Chourio sidelined until late April. Additional setbacks include Sal Frelick, who exited Saturday’s doubleheader with left-side tightness, and Quinn Priester, who is recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome and aims for a May return. Craig Yoho could be ready in April but may start the season with Triple-A Nashville, while Rob Zastryzny’s rehab has hit a snag, pushing his return to an uncertain date. Outfielder Akil Baddoo is also out until midseason with a quad strain.#boston_red_sox #milwaukee_brewers #quinn_priester #kyle_harrison #shane_drohan
