JOEY WIEMER NEWS

Sitting in second straight Wiemer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Wiemer is on the bench for a second straight day, with Adam McCalvy of MLB.com relaying that the consecutive absences fall in the category of a baseball decision rather than the outfielder dealing with an unreported injury. Though he already looks like one of the better defensive center fielders in the majors, the rookie's production at the plate has slipped of late. Since the start of July, Wiemer is slashing .200/.333/.300 with two extra-base hits in 16 games.

Not in lineup Wiemer will sit Saturday against Atlanta.

Impact Sal Frelick was called up for the first time Saturday and could cut into Wiemer's playing time going forward, though he'll be right field on this occasion while Blake Perkins takes Wiemer's spot in center. Wiemer's strong defense in center field means he's been a productive enough player despite his .207/.292/.386 slash line (84 wRC+), but as the Brewers' outfield gets more crowded, he'll need to avoid a further dip at the plate if he's to remain a regular.

Impact He'll take a seat in favor of Blake Perkins, who gets the start in center field. Wiemer is just 2-for-15 so far at the plate in the second half.

Not starting Saturday Wiemer will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Wiemer has shown some encouraging signs this season, and his 11 homers and 10 steals through 80 games have helped prop up his fantasy value, but things have been trending in the wrong direction for him in recent weeks. Since June 9, he's hit .136/.246/.322 in 19 games while striking out 36.2 percent of the time. He'll get a rest Saturday with Blake Perkins taking over in center field.

In lineup after HBP Wiemer (hand) is starting in center field and batting ninth Thursday versus the Mets.

Impact Wiemer took a pitch off his left hand late in Wednesday's victory, but X-rays came back negative and he won't wind up missing any action. The 24-year-old has tallied 11 homers and 10 stolen bases across his first 78 major-league games this season with Milwaukee.

X-rays come back negative X-rays taken of Wiemer's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's win over the Mets, MLB.com reports.

Impact Wiemer remained in the contest after being plunked by an Adam Ottavino offering in the eighth inning before being sent for precautionary X-rays after the game, which came back clean. It's possible the outfielder will get a day of rest if he's sore, but he's managed to avoid any broken bones.

Hits go-ahead homer Wiemer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Wiemer's two-run shot off Drew Smith in the sixth provided all the run support Milwaukee's pitching staff needed Monday night. Overall, the rookie's numbers don't look great, but he picked things up in June and is slashing .266/.337/.570 with six home runs, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 14 runs scored over his last 24 games. Wiemer has a unique skill set that bodes well for fantasy production, but he's been a hit-or-miss player so far. Regardless, he figures to see regular playing time as long as Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) are on the injured list.

Blasts two-run homer in second Wiemer went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Impact Wiemer put the Brewers on the board with a two-run home run in the second, marking his sixth long ball of the season. The 24-year-old rookie has been thrust into an expanded role in 2023 due to injuries to Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder), and while Wiemer's .201/.271/.366 slash line doesn't pop off the page, he's showcased a versatile skill set by smashing six home runs and stealing nine bags through 55 games (181 plate appearances). He's also played an above-average center field, which should keep him in the lineup on a regular basis.

Impact Wiemer sits for the first time since Garrett Mitchell went down with a torn labrum in mid-April, ending a streak of 26 consecutive starts. The regularly playing time hasn't led to much success at the plate, as he's hitting just .208/.273/.354, though his four homers and five steals have kept his fantasy value from bottoming out. Tyrone Taylor will be the center fielder Saturday.
