Rotowire
Contreras went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

For the year, he's slashing .250/.351/.371 with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 63 runs scored and five steals across 482 plate appearances.

Brewers' William Contreras: Five hits in offensive eruption
Rotowire
Contreras went 5-for-7 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 16-9 win over the Nationals.
The Brewers rattled off a season-high 25 hits, with Contreras leading the way, and he launched his ninth homer of the year off Ryan Loutos in the seventh inning. The acquisition of Danny Jansen at the trade deadline should allow Contreras to get more rest down the stretch, and he got the start at DH on Friday while Jansen slotted in behind the plate. Contreras hadn't lived up to expectations in 2025, but he's catching fire at the right time for Milwaukee's playoff chances -- the 27-year-old has four straight multi-hit performances with two doubles, three homers, five RBI and nine runs, and over 25 games since the beginning of July he's slashing .311/.351/.472.
Contreras went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the Cubs.
Contreras snapped a power drought with his first home run since June 14 in the first inning, then added another in the fourth. It marked the fifth multi-homer game of the catcher's career and put an exclamation point on a strong three-game set against the Cubs that featured three extra-base hits, three RBI and six runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .250/.348/.363 with eight long balls, 45 RBI, 56 runs scored and five steals across 443 plate appearances.
Brewers' William Contreras: Rips two doubles Friday
Rotowire
Contreras 2-for-4 with two RBI, two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Washington.
It's been a disappointing first half overall for Contreras -- his .348 slugging percentage in 2025 is well short of his .446 mark for his career -- but he's at least fared better in a small sample lately. Across his last seven outings, the star backstop is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with three RBI, four extra-base hits and four runs scored. That said, Contreras has just two outings with multiple extra-base knocks this year, and he hasn't gone deep since June 14.
Contreras is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Contreras will get a rare day off after he had started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Brewers' last 17 games. Eric Haase will step in behind the plate and bat ninth in Wednesday's series finale.
