Brewers' Center Field Platoon, Pitching Depth

The Milwaukee Brewers are starting the season with a center field platoon featuring Garrett Mitchell and Brandon Lockridge. Mitchell will face right-handers, while Lockridge, who impressed in spring training, will get regular at-bats. Lockridge may also serve as a backup first baseman. Christian Yelich could return to the outfield more this year, depending on the center field duos performance. If needed, Jackson Chourio could shift from left field to center. On the pitching side, Blake Holub is ready for a big league call-up after a strong spring. The Brewers added right-hander Jake Woodford from the Tampa Bay Rays, who will provide multi-inning relief. Several pitchers, including Brandon Woodruff and Logan Henderson, are ramping up for simulated games. Outfielder Steward Berroa is expected to return to full action soon.
