Even though the 2025 season is still unfolding, the Milwaukee Brewers have been evaluating their internal talent all season. Justin Yeager will almost certainly factor into the Milwaukee Brewers 2026 bullpenAcquired as the third piece in the William Contreras trade in 2022, Justin Yeager didn't make an immediate impact in the Brewers organization, as injury kept him off the field for all but 2.0 innings in 2023. That reality gives Yeager a strong chance to secure a spot and position himself for a bullpen role in 2026. Joel Payamps, assuming he finishes the year on the 40-man roster, is a likely non-tender candidate as he enters his final year of arbitration. At 27 years old, Yeager has done everything the Brewers could ask of him at the minor league level.
