Guardians Acquire Blake Perkins and Craig Yoho From Brewers for Bo Naylor and Codi Heuer
Cleveland bolsters its roster and bullpen for a postseason push, while Milwaukee adds catching depth and a relief arm in deadline moves.
On Saturday, August 1, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers and Cleveland Guardians completed a four-player trade, with Milwaukee acquiring catcher Bo Naylor and relief pitcher Codi Heuer while Cleveland received outfielder Blake Perkins and pitcher Craig Yoho.
Seeking to bolster their roster during a postseason push, the Guardians acquired relief help and outfield depth after dropping seven of their past 10 games heading into the trade deadline.
Assigned to the Triple-A Nashville affiliate, Naylor and Heuer add depth to the Milwaukee 40-man roster for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Yoho—Who posted a 3.15 ERA in 15 games this season—and Perkins provide the Guardians with bullpen and outfield options as the team attempts to regain momentum.
Major League Baseball's trade deadline on Monday, August 3, looms as both clubs address roster deficiencies and solidify lineups for the final stretch of the 2026 season.
