Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado hit his seventh home run of the season, a two-run shot, in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

Maldonado finished 2-for-4 in the game, hitting the two-run bomb off reliever Mike Mayers in the sixth inning. The defense-first catcher has just 18 RBI and 15 runs scored to go with those seven homers, batting a paltry .195/.322/.355 in 62 games.

Sep 8 - 10:36 PM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado slugged a solo shot in the fifth inning Monday as the Brewers bested the Nationals.

That home run off Max Scherzer represented the only run of the game for either side. Maldonado was hitless in his other three plate appearances, though he did draw a walk. The veteran backup catcher is batting .161 with a .638 OPS in 28 total games this season.

Jul 4 - 2:14 PM

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 1-for-3 with a single in Saturday's loss to the Cubs.

The only reason Maldonado's single is even noteworthy is that it was the only hit the Brewers could manage against Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks over six innings. For the season, the 29-year-old backup catcher is hitting a paltry .212/.286/.296 with four homers and 22 RBI in 226 at-bats.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 2-for-2 with a three-run homer and a walk Wednesday against the Cardinals.

And then he was removed for a pinch-hitter, which didn't work out. Maldonado is still hitting just .198 in 182 at-bats for the season. He's been playing a lot lately because of Jonathan Lucroy's concussion.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado hit a walk-off home run in the 17th inning to give the Brewers a 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Maldonado sweetly, mercifully ended a game that saw Brewers starter Matt Garza pitching five innings of relief ball. The catcher smacked his game-winner off of Vidal Nuno with one out in the bottom of the 17th frame. Maldonado played well throughout the game, finishing 4-for-6 with two walks, a homer, two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored. Just all-around goodness here for a player who is hitting .182/.254/.273 in 121 at-bats. The world works in mysterious ways.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Martin Maldonado went 3-for-5 with a homer and a walk-off single in Sunday's 3-2, 11-inning win over the Cubs.

Maldonado hit the solo home run (his second of the season) in the bottom of the seventh. His RBI single off of Jason Motte in the bottom of the 11th would win the game for the Brewers. In 61 at-bats, the catcher is hitting .197/.250/.288.

Martin Maldonado - C - Brewers

Brewers and C Martin Maldonado avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $1.95 million contract.

He'll make $850,000 in 2015 and $1.1 million in 2016. Maldonado was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter as a Super Two player. The 28-year-old batted .234/.320/.387 with four home runs and 16 RBI across 52 games last year while serving as Jonathan Lucroy's backup. He'll still have two years of arbitration remaining after this deal expires.

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 - 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.

	2	Rymer Liriano 60-Day DL Rymer Liriano (face) is still working toward getting back on the field. It's unclear when it will happen, but a return in the second half is a possibility. Liriano has been out all season after suffering multiple facial fractures when he was hit by a pitch on March 20. Jun 25
CF	1	Keon Broxton Sidelined Keon Broxton has been diagnosed with a fractured right wrist. Broxton suffered the injury after collision with the brick outfield wall at Wrigley Field following a catch Friday. It's a brutal way for his season to end, as the toolsy outfielder had been looking like he was starting to figure things out. Kirk Nieuwenhuis should serve as the club's main center fielder down the stretch. Sep 16
	2	Kirk Nieuwenhuis Sidelined Kirk Nieuwenhuis feels better after receiving a cortisone injection in his strained abdomen. He's hoping to return at some point this year but that seems a bit ambitious with only eight games left on the schedule. Nieuwenhuis has mostly been a non-factor this year, hitting just .210 with 13 HR, 44 RBI and eight steals. Sep 24

	10	Sean Nolin 60-Day DL Sean Nolin underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow two weeks ago. Nolin has missed all of this season with elbow issues and unsuccessfully tried to rehab the injury initially. He won't be back until late next season, at the earliest. Aug 21
	11	Chris Capuano 60-Day DL Brewers general manager David Stearns said Sunday that it's "unlikely" Chris Capuano (elbow) returns this season. Chris Capuano was given a platelet-rich plasma injection back in July to combat his flexor strain, but he apparently hasn't felt much improvement. The left-hander will be a free agent this winter. Aug 21
	12	Yhonathan Barrios 60-Day DL Yhonathan Barrios will undergo rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday. The surgery will be performed by Dr. James Andrews. No word yet on a timeline, but it's safe to assume he'll miss all or most of the season. Acquired from the Pirates in the Aramis Ramirez deal, the 24-year-old made five appearances with the Brewers last season after posting a 2.83 ERA in the minors. Apr 5
