Brewers RHP J.C. Mejía suspended 162 games for banned performance-enhancing drug
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander JSEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
J.C. Mejía - Hit with 162-game PED suspension Major League Baseball suspended Mejia (shoulder) for 162 games Wednesday following a positive test for Stanozolol, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mejia was caught using the very same anabolic steroid last season and received an 80-game ban. The 27-year-old right-hander owns a rough 8.32 ERA in 66 career major-league innings and won't be eligible to return to a big-league mound until the tail end of the 2024 campaign. He appeared in nine games for the Brewers this year before being shut down in mid-August due to shoulder inflammation.

Brice Turang - Sitting against lefty Turang remains out of the lineup Wednesday at St. Louis.
Impact Andruw Monasterio will start at second base and bat eighth as the Brewers face a second straight left-hander in Zack Thompson. Turang has batted just .193 with a .474 OPS this year against southpaws.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Yelich - Sits again with back injury Yelich (back) is out of the lineup again Wednesday at St. Louis.
Impact Yelich is said to be making progress in his recovery from a lingering back injury, but he has started only one of the Brewers' last 12 games. Tyrone Taylor, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick are starting across the outfield Wednesday as Mark Canha fills the DH role.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Colin Rea - Sent to Triple-A Rea was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Impact The 33-year-old earned the win Tuesday after he allowed one run over 4.2 frames of long relief, but he'll be sent down in order to bring up a fresh arm. Rea has a 4.78 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 102:38 K:BB across 118.2 innings as a swingman for the Brewers this season.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julio Teheran - Activated from 15-day IL Milwaukee activated Teheran (hip) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Teheran will return to the Brewers in a long relief role after missing several weeks because of a right hip impingement. He had posted a 4.74 ERA and 44:11 K:BB in 62.2 innings (11 starts) prior to landing on the IL in late July.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
J.B. Bukauskas - Recalled to bullpen Milwaukee recalled Bukauskas from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bukauskas has allowed two runs -- one earned -- in just three innings of work this season at the MLB level, but he'll give the Brewers a fresh bullpen arm after they lost Elvis Peguero (elbow) to the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elvis Peguero - Lands on injured list Peguero was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with a right elbow effusion, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Impact It's unclear when the injury first surfaced for Peguero, but he hasn't pitched since he delivered 1.1 scoreless frames Saturday against Washington. The right-hander will miss the rest of the regular season but will be eligible to return in the playoffs, which the Brewers are undoubtedly hoping for given his 3.38 ERA and 21 holds in 59 outings this year.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
William Contreras - Leads charge in comeback win Contreras went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.
Impact After the Brewers fell behind 2-0 in the first inning, Contreras sparked the comeback by taking Drew Rom deep in the third. The 25-year-old backstop has hit safely in seven straight games and 12 of the last 13 as Milwaukee tries to lock up the NL Central title, slashing .314/.400/.451 over the latter stretch with two homers, three steals, eight RBI and 10 runs.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Colin Rea - Nabs sixth win Tuesday Rea (6-6) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Cardinals, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 4.2 relief innings. He struck out two.
Impact Working as the bulk reliever behind opener Trevor Megill, Rea entered the game in the second inning with the Brewers down 2-0 and got rewarded for his efforts once the Milwaukee offense got rolling. He tossed 85 pitches (52 strikes) to collect his first big-league win since July 2, but the veteran right seems to be adjusting well to his new role -- over four appearances (two starts, two in relief) in September, none longer than 4.2 innings, he's posted a 2.95 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 18.1 innings.

Brice Turang - Takes seat versus lefty Turang is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.
Impact Andruw Monasterio is playing second base and batting eighth as the Brewers match up against left-hander Drew Rom. Turang has slashed just .193/.281/.193 in 65 plate appearances versus lefties this year.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Yelich - Out again with back issue Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at St. Louis.
Impact Yelich has now started only one of the Brewers' last 11 games due to lingering back discomfort. Tyrone Taylor, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will canvass the outfield Tuesday versus the Cardinals and left-hander Drew Rom.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Colin Rea - Slated for bulk relief Tuesday Rea is expected to work in bulk relief behind Trevor Megill in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Rea was called up from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Monday's series opener in St. Louis, but he wasn't needed out of the bullpen in the Brewers' 1-0 loss. With Milwaukee seemingly looking to build in an extra rest day for all five members of their rotation, Megill is expected to serve as the lead pitcher Tuesday for what projects to be a bullpen day. Since Rea last pitched Sept. 13, he'll be well-rested and should be able to handle multiple innings out of the bullpen once Megill exits the contest.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Freddy Peralta - Sharp in losing effort Peralta (12-9) took the loss Monday, allowing one run on four hits over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out six.
Impact Peralta's now allowed just one run in three of his last four starts while working to a 1.89 ERA in his last eight outings (47.2 innings). However, Willson Contreras' solo home run proved enough to stick Peralta with the loss Monday in a 1-0 defeat. Overall, the 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.71 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and 206:54 K:BB across 29 starts (162.2 innings) this season. Peralta's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Marlins this weekend in his next outing.
