Joey Wiemer - Added to lineup Tuesday Wiemer has been added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Wiemer will cover center field and bat ninth versus the Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober after Sam Frelick was scratched due to lingering right hamstring soreness. Wiemer is slashing just .215/.290/.379 across his first 115 major-league games this year and has seen a significant dip in playing time in recent weeks.

Sal Frelick - Scratched with sore hamstring Frelick was scratched from the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins due to lingering right hamstring soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Frelick sat out of Sunday's series finale against the Rangers after tweaking his right hamstring Saturday, and it's still an issue even after Monday's scheduled team off day. Joey Wiemer will now start in center field and bat ninth for the Brewers in Tuesday's series opener against Minnesota.

Rowdy Tellez - On bench Tuesday Tellez is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Impact Tellez is being eased back into action after returning Saturday from a six-week IL stint to heal a bout of right forearm inflammation. Mark Canha will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter Tuesday versus Minnesota as Carlos Santana covers first base.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andruw Monasterio - Sitting amid struggles Monasterio is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.

Impact Monasterio is stuck in a 1-for-22 slump and has posted an overall .200/.288/.323 batting line in 73 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to August. Brian Anderson will play third base and hit ninth for Milwaukee on Tuesday against Minnesota.

Sal Frelick - Back in lineup Tuesday Frelick (hamstring) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Impact Frelick will start in center field and bat cleanup in the Brewers' series opener versus Minnesota after missing Sunday's series finale against the Rangers due to a minor right hamstring tweak. The 23-year-old has delivered an .809 OPS with three homers and five RBI across his first 26 major-league games.

Garrett Mitchell - Making progress with shoulder Mitchell (shoulder) said Tuesday that he's hoping to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville around Sept. 19, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact That would be the final week of the Triple-A regular season, and it could put Mitchell in line to return to the Brewers for the final week of the MLB regular season. The 24-year-old outfielder required surgery back in early May to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, but he's been performing most baseball activities without issue over the last couple of weeks.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jesse Winker - Rehab moves to Triple-A Winker (back) shifted his rehab assignment Tuesday to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Winker is now just one step away from returning to the Brewers' active major-league roster after going 5-for-13 in four games with High-A Wisconsin. He's been sidelined since late July due to back spasms.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Ashby - Not ready for rehab games Ashby (shoulder) acknowledged Tuesday that he is still working on his delivery in side sessions, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact At last check, the 25-year-old left-hander was said to be nearing a minor-league rehab assignment, but his velocity hasn't returned to full force and he'll need more time before returning to live games. Ashby has been on the shelf all season due to a shoulder injury that required arthroscopic surgery back in early April.

MLB Power Rankings: Are Mariners a top-five team?

Adrian Houser - Fans seven in win Houser (5-4) yielded one run on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against the Rangers.

Impact The lone blemish on Houser's line was a solo shot by Corey Seager in the third inning. Houser had allowed eight runs across 10.1 frames in his previous two outings. He lowered his season ERA to 4.28 with a 75:27 K:BB through 88.1 innings. His next outing is projected to be at home against the Padres.

Devin Williams - Notches 30th save Williams recorded one out and earned a save against Texas on Sunday.

Impact Williams entered the game with two on and two outs in the ninth inning and finished off the 6-2 victory. He's converted three straight save chances, giving him 30 in 33 opportunities on the year. The 28-year-old is sporting a 1.52 ERA with a 70:22 K:BB through 47.1 frames.

Tyrone Taylor - Playing time trending up Taylor will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Taylor will stick in the lineup for a fourth consecutive contest and for the seventh time in eight contests while he's produced a robust .923 OPS with two home runs and one walk against four strikeouts through 13 games in August. In light of his hot hitting, Taylor seems to have moved ahead of Mark Canha and Joey Wiemer for the third spot in Milwaukee's everyday outfield alongside Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick (hamstring).

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joey Wiemer - Playing time trending down Wiemer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Wiemer has operated as Milwaukee's primary center fielder for most of the season, but he'll sit Sunday for the sixth time in the past eight games, with both of those starts coming against left-handed pitchers. It appears the 24-year-old will now have to settle for a spot on the small side of a platoon in center field. Sal Frelick is dealing with a hamstring injury, so it'll be Christian Yelich, Tyrone Taylor and Mark Canha starting from left to right in the outfield.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

William Contreras - Steps out of lineup Sunday Contreras is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Texas.

Impact Contreras went 4-for-10 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs in the first two games of the series versus the Rangers, but he'll receive a well-deserved day off for the finale after making 36 straight starts. Victor Caratini will take over behind the plate and bat seventh Sunday.

Sal Frelick - Managing hamstring issue Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers due to a right hamstring injury, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact Frelick apparently tweaked something during Saturday's contest and was replaced by a pinch hitter during the sixth inning after going 2-for-3. The Brewers have a team day off Monday, so the 23-year-old will have two full days to rest up ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Twins. Christian Yelich, Tyrone Taylor and Mark Canha are starting from left to right in the outfield Sunday for Milwaukee.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Willy Adames - Collects four hits in win Adames went 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's victory over the Rangers.

Impact Adames drove home Carlos Santana with a single in the top of the third to put the Brewers up 2-0 and then led off the sixth with a solo homer to extend the lead. The shortstop reached base five times in the contest while tallying four hits for just the second time this season. Adames has now recorded at least three hits in back-to-back games, raising his batting average to .213 in the process.
