Adrian Houser - Stays in rotationBrewers manager Craig Counsell confirmed that Houser is slated to start Saturday's game against the Royals at American Family Field, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin repor...
ImpactMilwaukee appears to have selected Houser as its fifth member of the rotation over Colin Rea, who appeared out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Dodgers after starting in each of his prior five outings with the Brewers. Houser had been on the injured list all season with a groin injury before being reinstated last Sunday. In his 2023 debut against the Giants, Houser took a no-decision while striking out five over 4.2 innings and allowing two earned runs on seven hits and one walk. Houser could make for a useful streaming option against a weak Royals offense this weekend, but he'll likely struggle to maintain lasting season-long value outside of NL-only leagues.

Tyler Black - Dazzling at Double-ABlack went 15-for-46 (.326) with three home runs, 12 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 13:9 BB:K over his last 13 games with Double-A Biloxi.
ImpactBlack hit just .212 over his first 11 games at the Double-A level, but he has put his power, on-base skills and speed on display all season, and his batting average is starting to follow suit. Given his hot start and the fact he was a first-round pick in 2021, he could find himself moving up prospect rankings when those are re-drawn.

What we learned in MLB this week: The Rays are historically good
Tampa Bay has found a new way to win, Atlanta has another MVP candidate and the Contreras brothers are buzzing with their new teams. Here's...MAY 11, 2023
William Contreras - Slugs third homerContreras went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Dodgers.
ImpactHe was the only Milwaukee batter to solve Clayton Kershaw on the afternoon, connecting for his third homer of the year in the fourth inning before the game got out of hand. Contreras has hit a bit of a lull at the plate, batting .216 (8-for-37) over his last 10 games, but five of those hits have gone for extra bases (three doubles and two home runs.)

Wade Miley - Hammered by DodgersMiley (3-2) took the loss Wednesday as the Brewers were routed 8-1 by the Dodgers, surrendering seven runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks over five-plus...
ImpactThe 36-year-old lefty held Los Angeles off the scoreboard for three innings before the wheels came off the fourth, as Freddie Freeman and Will Smith launched back-to-back solo shots to open the scoring. Miley hadn't given up more than three runs or served up more than one homer in any of his six prior starts this season, so for now this can be chalked up to an off afternoon. He'll take a 3.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB through 40 innings into his next outing, likely to come early next week in St. Louis.
