Hits second home run Wiemer went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.
Impact Wiemer's second home run of the season was a solo shot in the eighth that extended the Brewers' lead to 6-2. He also had a double in the fifth inning, giving him four multi-hit games this year. With Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) and Tyrone Taylor (elbow) out for extended periods, Wiemer should continue to act as an everyday player for Milwaukee.

Clubs first big-league homer Wiemer went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Mets.
Impact Getting the start in center field and hitting ninth, Wiemer crushed his first career homer off David Peterson in the second inning, driving the ball the opposite way over the wall in right field. The 24-year-old outfielder has looked great since his promotion, batting .353 (6-for-17) through five games, and it may not be long before Wiemer works his way into a more fantasy-friendly spot in the order.

Snags first steal Wiemer went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's victory over the Mets.
Impact Wiemer reached base three times for the first time in his career, and he also picked up his first steal in the big leagues. He has not hit higher than ninth as of yet, but he has helped set the table for the top of the order, recording five hits and a pair of walks over 15 plate appearances.

Gets third straight start Wiemer will start in right field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets.
Impact The righty-hitting Wiemer will be picking up his third consecutive start Monday, with the last two coming against right-handed pitchers. While he's up with the big club, the 23-year-old rookie looks like he'll be playing on an everyday basis in the outfield with Brian Anderson having moved back to the infield to cover third base in place of the injured Luis Urias (hamstring). Wiemer displayed some contact issues during his time in the high minors and could struggle to keep his batting average above .250, but his plus power and speed make him an intriguing fantasy option nonetheless while he's playing regularly.

Set for MLB debut Wiemer was called up Saturday and will bat ninth and play center field against the Cubs.
Impact Wiemer missed out on the Opening Day roster but didn't have to wait long for a call-up, as Luis Urias (hamstring) got injured on Opening Day. Wiemer recorded a .761 OPS in 84 games for Double-A Biloxi while striking out 30.2 percent of the time, but he improved to an .888 OPPS and 19.5 percent strikeout rate in 43 games for Triple-A Nashville. He added 31 steals between the two stops. He could be set to fill the short side of a platoon in center field with Garrett Mitchell, though it will take a few more games to figure out exactly how the Brewers plan on dividing up their outfield at-bats.
