MILWAUKEE BREWERS NEWS

Colin Rea - Contract selected by MIL Rea had his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Rea will make a spot start for the Brewers in Thursday night's series opener in San Diego. The 32-year-old had not allowed an earned run through seven innings of long relief this season at the Triple-A level but is a highly risky fantasy bet versus the Padres. He's up in the majors for the first time since a one-appearance stint in 2021.

Robert Gasser - Mixed results through two starts Gasser has posted a 1.93 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 9.1 innings through two starts with Triple-A Nashville.

Impact Walks have been an issue for Gasser -- just as they were last year in his five Triple-A starts -- and he has also hit three batters, but the Brewers' top pitching prospect has escaped any serious damage by missing a lot of bats. The team presumably wants to see Gasser limit the baserunners before giving him a shot at the top level, but if he can do so he could push for a spot on the big-league roster at some point this season.

Janson Junk - Gives up five runs in spot start Junk (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings during a 7-3 loss to Arizona. He struck out two.

Impact Junk was just called up from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and filled in for Brandon Woodruff, who was recently moved to the 15-day injured list with a shoulder injury. The young right-hander struggled early and often, but his biggest blemish came on a three-run homer by Lourdes Gurriel in the third, which gave Arizona a 4-0 lead. Junk figures to remain in the rotation for another turn or two, but he's currently not an attractive streaming option.

Jesse Winker - Sitting out third straight game Winker (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Winker is sitting out for the third game in a row while he continues to battle an illness. The Brewers will open a four-game set in San Diego on Thursday, and if Winker isn't feeling healthy enough to join the team for the next stop of its road trip, a stint on the 10-day injured list could come into consideration.

Brian Anderson - Out of lineup Wednesday Anderson is not in the starting for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact Anderson will take a seat against Drey Jameson and the Diamondbacks for the series finale against Arizona. Mike Brosseau gets the start at third base and will hit ninth while Joey Wiemer will play right field and hit in the eighth spot.

Rowdy Tellez - Slugs solo homer Tellez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Tellez's second home run of the season came in the eighth inning off reliever Jose Ruiz and helped give Milwaukee a six-run cushion. With a .161/.270/.387 slash line through 37 plate appearances, Tellez is off to a slow start to the 2023 season, but he doesn't appear in immediate danger of losing out on playing time while his main competition for reps at first base, Luke Voit, has struck out in half of his trips to the dish.

Impact As expected after he was called up from Triple-A Nashville earlier Tuesday, Junk will be filling the rotation spot of Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), who was moved to the 15-day injured list. Junk had turned in a pair of five-inning outings over his first two appearances at Nashville, striking out seven while allowing just eight baserunners.

Last call? With shorter games, MLB teams extend beer sales

Mike Brosseau - Goes yard in win Brosseau went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Brosseau garnered his first start of the season against a right-handed pitcher, and he responded by tallying his first two extra-base hits of the campaign. He recorded only 55 plate appearances against righties in 2022, so despite the big night, he still figures to see most of his action against southpaws.

Corbin Burnes - Spins gem in Arizona Burnes moved to 1-1 on the season after striking out eight and allowing three hits and no walks over eight shutout innings in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact After he was roughed up for 10 earned runs and posted a 6:5 K:BB in 9.1 innings between his first two starts of the season, Burnes at least temporarily quelled any concerns about his demise by turning in a dazzling outing in Arizona. He was locked in a pitcher's duel with Merrill Kelly through the first six innings before Milwaukee finally broke through with a five-run seventh inning, providing all the cushion that Burnes would need on the night. He needed just 89 pitches to record his 24 outs and threw 65 strikes in the start, with 16 generating swings and misses.

Jackson Chourio - Jacks first Double-A homers Chourio went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.

Impact Chourio went just 2-for-23 (.087) in a brief Double-A stint at the end of last season, but he recorded the same number of hits in Biloxi's 2023 season opener, and four days later he tallied his first two long balls -- one of them of the walk-off variety -- at his current level. With a number of his fellow prospects graduating, Chourio now finds himself at or near the top of numerous sets of prospect rankings, and he is well on his way to justifying that with a .927 OPS four games into the current campaign.
