Collins

The Brewers are looking for anything to jumpstart their offense right now, so Collins will slide into the DH spot with Christian Yelich getting an off day against Cole Ragans. Collins has gone 3-for-6 as a part-time player so far in 2025. This will be his first start.

Bauers will need to be added to the 40-man roster. Collins will be a versatile backup who can play in the outfield as well as second and third base, while Bauers offers some pop off the bench from the left side. It’s unlikely either sees a ton of playing time to begin 2025.

Collins, a 27-year-old switch-hitter, will be making his major league debut after hitting .273/.386/.475 with 14 homers and 24 steals for Nashville. He can play second, third and all three outfield spots, potentially making him a nice role player if he can keep his OBP up in the majors. He’ll probably play primarily against lefties for the Brewers. His platoon splits were perfectly even in the minors this year, but he was far better against southpaws last season.
