GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – Timber Rattlers baseball returns to the Fox Valley this week as the high-A squad of the Brewers gears up for their 2026 season opener on Friday. The original Thursday start to the season was postponed due to weather concerns, so the T-Rats will host a doubleheader on Friday starting at 5:10 p.m.
Wisconsin’s opening day roster features nine of the top 30 Brewers prospects, including three in the top ten. Luis Peña enters as the organization’s second-best farm system piece, headlining a team guided by first-year manager Nick Stanley.
Hear from the head man, as well as the players on how they’re feeling ahead of opening day, in the video above.
