Arcia joined the Brewers in 2016, Hader and Woodruff debuted for the big-league club in 2017 while Burnes and Peralta each burst onto the scene with the Brewers in 2018. LHP Wade Miley made three appearances for the Shuckers in 2018 on a Minor League contract, pitching his way to a 40-man roster spot with the Brewers.
