Rowdy Tellez - Sitting against lefty Tellez is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.
Impact Mark Canha will play first base and William Contreras will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter as they take on left-hander Justin Steele. The left-handed-hitting Tellez has slashed just .175/.267/.250 in 45 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

Sal Frelick - Out of lineup Tuesday Frelick is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.
Impact Frelick is being eased back into action after missing a chunk of time last week due to a right hamstring injury. He went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the Brewers' win at Chicago on Monday. Joey Wiemer will cover center field for Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Carlos Santana - Out again with ankle sprain Santana (ankle) is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Mark Canha - Smacks eighth homer Canha went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-2 victory against the Cubs on Monday.
Impact Canha put the cap on a four-run first inning for the Brewers with a 436-foot, two-run blast to left-center field. The homer was his second since joining Milwaukee in a trade-deadline deal. Canha struggled a bit immediately after the change of scenery, but he's been coming on over the past few weeks, batting .318 with two long balls, 11 RBI, eight runs and a 7:5 BB:K over his past 14 contests.

Christian Yelich - Snaps homer drought Yelich went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in a 6-2 victory versus the Cubs on Monday.
Impact Yelich helped Milwaukee get off to a fast start, swatting a 416-foot solo shot to lead off the game in what became a four-run half-inning. The long ball was his first since July 30, a span of 24 games. Yelich has fallen back a bit in August, but he's still putting up his best season since his 2018 with a .282/.370/.451 slash line, 17 homers, 68 RBI, 93 runs and 28 thefts in 30 attempts over 559 plate appearances.

Wade Miley - Picks up win with quality start Miley (7-3) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one batter over six innings.
Impact Miley served up a pair of homers in the contest, but they were both solo shots, and those were the only runs Chicago could manage against him. The left-hander got the job done by getting 11 of his 18 outs via grounders, making up for the fact that he tallied just four swinging strikes and one punchout. Miley's quality start was eighth in 18 outings this season, and he's compiled a strong 3.17 ERA and 1.14 WHIP despite fanning just 60 batters over 93.2 frames.

Adrian Houser - Hope for short IL stint Manager Craig Counsell, via Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, indicated "the hope is Houser (elbow) will miss a couple starts then be ready to rejoin the rotation."
Impact Houser landed on the injured list earlier Monday, so he will miss a couple starts regardless. However, it looks like he may only be facing the minimum stay on the injured list. The Brewers have not announced who will replace Houser in the rotation, but according to the report, they are expected to add a fifth pitcher rather than lean on Thursday's off day and make it through the next turn with only four starters.

Impact Santana recorded four homers, 12 RBI and a .935 OPS over his last 12 games, but per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he also sprained his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Padres, and he will get at least one day to rest and recover. Rowdy Tellez will start at first base for the Brewers on Monday night.

J.B. Bukauskas - Joins big-league bullpen The Brewers recalled Bukauskas from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Impact Bukauskas will provide the Brewers with a fresh arm out of the bullpen heading into Monday's series opener with the Cubs after the team needed four relievers to cover the final seven innings of Sunday's 10-6 win over the Padres. The Brewers required extra work from their bullpen because starter Adrian Houser (elbow) exited the contest after recording just two outs. Houser was moved to the 15-day injured list Monday to clear a spot on the active roster for Bukauskas.

Adrian Houser - Hits IL with elbow effusion The Brewers placed Houser on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow effusion.
Impact When Houser exited after two innings in his start during Sunday's win over the Padres, the Brewers relayed that the 30-year-old was dealing with "minor" right forearm tightness. Follow-up tests revealed that he was actually experiencing fluid buildup in his elbow, and a trip to the injured list was deemed necessary. Bryse Wilson ended up covering four scoreless innings behind Houser on Sunday and could be a candidate to step in as the Brewers' new No. 5 starter, though it's conceivable that manager Craig Counsell opts for a four-man rotation this week thanks to a well-timed off day Thursday.
