"Brewers catcher William Contreras underwent a minor procedure to repair his broken left middle finger, president of baseball operations Matt Arnold told reporters (link via Adam McCalvy of MLB.com). It'll keep him from participating in baseball activities for 5-6 weeks but is not expected to impact his availability for Spring Training. Contreras played through the fracture for the entire 2025 season."
"Contreras did not spend any time on the injured list and has not had a single IL stint in his career. Only J.T. Realmuto logged more starts or innings behind the dish this year. The injury did seem to weigh down Contreras a little bit at the plate. He hit .260/.355/.399 with 17 home runs through 659 trips. That's still strong production, especially from a catcher, but is below the .285/.366/.462 combined slash he posted over his first two seasons in Milwaukee."
William Contreras underwent a minor procedure to repair a broken left middle finger and will miss 5–6 weeks of baseball activities. The surgery is not expected to affect his availability for Spring Training. Contreras played through the fracture during the 2025 season; the injury likely occurred in 2024 and was not revealed publicly until May. He did not spend any time on the injured list and has no IL stints in his career. He hit .260/.355/.399 with 17 homers in 659 trips in 2025, below his .285/.366/.462 combined Milwaukee slash across his first two seasons. Milwaukee declined his $12MM option; he collected a $100K buyout, remains arbitration-eligible with projections near $11.1MM, and is on track for free agency in the 2027–28 offseason.
