Martin Maldonado returned from his five-game suspension on Monday.

Maldonado entered Monday's game in the seventh inning to play first base and went on to walk and ground out in two plate appearances. The 27-year-old received a five-game suspension for his actions in a brawl with the Pirates on April 20.

Martin Maldonado will begin serving his five-game suspension on Tuesday night.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

MLB suspended Brewers catcher Martin Maldonado for five games and fined him for $2,500 for his role in Sunday's benches-clearing brawl with the Pirates.

It's unclear whether he will appeal the suspension. Maldonado was right in the middle of Sunday's scrum and could be seen landing a punch on Pirates' outfielder Travis Snider. Look for MLB to announce punishments for additional players soon.

Martin Maldonado said Tuesday that he lost 26 pounds during the offseason by "eating right."

Say hello to the latest member of the "Best Shape of His Life" club. Maldonado, 27, is hoping to rebound after batting just .169/.236/.284 over 202 plate appearances last season.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado had another rough night at the plate in Friday's loss to the Angels, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout.

The 27-year-old backstop has certainly regressed offensively from his eye-opening 2012 campaign. He's now hitting a paltry .171/.227/.280 with three homers and 19 RBI in 164 at-bats on the season.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado has regressed at the plate in 2013, slashing .184/.253/.303 over 83 plate appearances.

In his first real exposure to Major League pitching, Maldonado batted .266/.321/.408 in 256 plate appearances last season. Perhaps he's toting his struggles onto the field with his catcher's gear. Maldonado has been a run worse than average defensively this year, according to Baseball Reference.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI, leading the Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Pirates on Sunday.

Maldonado has done a very nice job in his first real exposure to Major League pitching, hitting .285 with five homers and 18 RBI in 40 games. It will be interesting to see if he remains on the roster as the backup catcher when Jonathan LuCroy returns from the DL in a couple of weeks.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado blasted a two-run home run in the ninth inning, breaking a tie and leading the Brewers to a 5-3 victory over the Twins.

Maldonado finished the game 2-for-4 with the crucial home run off Matt Capps. He's provided very solid and unexpected power production since being recalled from Triple-A, hitting .262 with four homers and 12 RBI in just 42 at-bats. While he won't continue at this unsustainable pace, he makes for a very intriguing option in deep two catcher leagues.

Sat, Jun 16, 2012 12:17:00 AM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado hit a three-run homer in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

Maldonado's sixth-inning blast off of Anthony Bass was his only hit in four trips to the plate, though he's now gone deep three times in just 34 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville. Seeing more playing time than a banged up George Kottaras (hamstring) in the absence of Jonathan Lucroy, Maldonado is worth a look in NL-only leagues.

Sun, Jun 10, 2012 06:29:00 PM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers recalled C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville.

As expected, Maldonado will take Jonathan Lucroy's place on the active roster. The 25-year-old backstop was hitting .198/.270/.347 over 138 plate appearances with Triple-A Nashville this season and has a .236/.313/.333 batting line over parts of nine seasons in the minors. He'll function as a backup to George Kottaras while Lucroy is on the shelf.

Tue, May 29, 2012 09:00:00 AM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

The Brewers will recall C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

He'll replace the injured Jonathan Lucroy (hand) on the active roster. Known more for his defense behind the plate, the 25-year-old owns a .236/.313/.333 batting line over parts of nine seasons in the minors. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers optioned C Martin Maldonado to Triple-A Nashville.

No surprise here. The Brewers will start Jonathan Lucroy behind the plate with George Kottaras backing him up.

Thu, Mar 29, 2012 07:31:00 PM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers recalled C Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville.

Maldonado, 24, is coming off a month where he hit .351 with eight homers and 20 RBI over just 77 at-bats. Of course, that was in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League and he is a .238 career hitter in the minors, so we would temper expectations. He will serve as a third catcher behind Jonathan Lucroy and George Kotteras down the stretch.

Thu, Sep 1, 2011 10:56:00 AM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

The Brewers will recall catching prospect Martin Maldonado from Triple-A Nashville Thursday.

Maldonado has had a solid year at the plate, batting .289/.376/.440 with 11 homers over 339 at-bats between Double- and Triple-A. He'll function as the third catcher behind Jonathan Lucroy and George Kotteras.

Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name

	2	Jim Henderson D.L. Jim Henderson (shoulder) resumed a rehab assignment with the Arizona League Brewers on Thursday. Henderson had to be shut down for a while after experiencing renewed shoulder discomfort during a rehab appearance in late May, but he appears to be back on track now. The reliever would seem to have a shot to return before the All-Star break if all goes well. Jul 4
	3	Tyler Thornburg D.L. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Tuesday that Tyler Thornburg (elbow) has yet to make much progress. Thornburg has already missed a month of action with a right elbow injury, so it's obviously discouraging that little progress has been made. It's not clear at this point whether the reliever has tried to resume a throwing program. Obviously, he shouldn't be expected to rejoin the Brewers' bullpen anytime soon. Jul 8
	4	Will Smith
	5	Zach Duke
	6	Brandon Kintzler
	7	Rob Wooten
	8	Tom Gorzelanny
	9	Wei-Chung Wang D.L. Brewers placed LHP Wei-Chung Wang on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder tightness. Wang gave up two runs over a relief inning Thursday to push his ERA up to 11.12. The Rule 5 pick has some talent, but he's clearly not big league-ready and is probably better off being stashed on the DL. He's already been on the active roster for the 90 days needed in order to retain him, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he's kept out the rest of the season or at least until September. Jul 10
	10	Marco Estrada
