Brandon Woodruff - Allows four runs in no decision Woodruff did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Rangers. He struck out four.
Impact Following a scoreless three innings to start the night, Woodruff was undone by the long ball in the fourth. Nathanial Lowe tagged him with a two-run blast followed a couple batters later by a solo shot from Mitch Garver. Woodruff pitched into the sixth, allowing a fourth run when Corey Seager came around to score following a leadoff double but ultimately escaped with a no decision. Although the four runs were his most allowed all season, the 92 pitches thrown represent Woodruff's highest total since returning from a shoulder injury on Aug. 6. His next start is projected to be a home matchup against the Padres next weekend.

Rowdy Tellez - Weekend return likely Tellez (finger) will likely return during the Brewers' weekend series against Texas, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Tellez has already been ruled out for Friday's series opener against the Rangers, but a return to the Brewers' lineup seems imminent. Manager Craig Counsell previously noted that the team wanted Tellez's bat to heat up in Triple-A before activating him from the IL, and Tellez has gone 5-for-13 with a homer and five RBI across his last three assignment games. Once he returns, Tellez will presumably split time at first base with Carlos Santana.

Sal Frelick - Sits against lefty Frelick will not start in Friday's game versus the Rangers.
Impact Frelick will be on the bench Friday with lefty Andrew Heaney taking the mound for the Rangers. The rookie has started in just one game facing a lefty starter. Though, the 23-year-old has a good chance of coming off the bench having made an appearance in every game since his debut July 22. Tyrone Taylor will start in his place and bat ninth.

Sal Frelick - Swipes three bags in loss Frelick went 1-for-2 with two walks and three stolen bases in a 1-0 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.
Impact Milwaukee struggled to generate offense against Lance Lynn and a pair of Los Angeles relievers, notching just five hits, all of which were singles. Frelick did his best to help get a run across the plate, reaching in three of his four plate appearances and swiping three bags after coming into the contest with just two steals over 23 contests. The rookie got into scoring position three times, but he was stranded in each instance, including in the ninth inning when he walked and stole second with two outs as the potential tying run.

Corbin Burnes - Gets no run support in gem Burnes allowed two hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.
Impact Burnes dominated one of the league's top offenses, but Los Angeles starter Lance Lynn matched him with seven scoreless frames of his own. Though Burnes had to settle for a no-decision, this was one of his best outings of the campaign and a strong bounce-back from his previous start, when he gave up five runs over 5.2 innings against the White Sox. The right-hander improved his season ERA to 3.43 and his WHIP to 1.06 with the standout performance Thursday, and with nine punchouts he moved up to 10th in the National League with 155 on the season.

Mark Canha - Accounts for lone run in loss Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Canha's blast was one of three hits for the Brewers, all of which went for extra bases. He took Clayton Kershaw deep in the second inning to briefly tie the game at 1-1. Canha has struggled with the Brewers so far, going 10-for-47 (.213) over 14 contests since he was traded from the Mets. He's now at a .240/.334/.375 slash line with seven homers, 35 RBI, 33 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 103 games this season.

Wade Miley - Takes third loss Miley (6-3) gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Miley had given up just two runs over 10 innings across his first two starts back from a left elbow injury. The 36-year-old southpaw had some trouble with the top of the Dodgers' order, and the Brewers were limited to three hits and three walks in the game. Miley is now at a 3.05 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB through 82.2 innings over 16 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a home start against the Twins next week.
