Christian Yelich - Leading off regularly Yelich is 7-for-26 (.269) with two home runs, two doubles and a 3:6 BB:K through 10 appearances this spring.
Impact The seven hits are not a lot, but four of them have gone for extra bases, and he owns both a .345 OBP and .922 OPS during the exhibition season. Yelich has hit leadoff in each game he has appeared in this spring, so all signs point to him occupying the top spot in the batting order when the regular season gets underway next week.

Josh VanMeter - Reassigned to minor-league camp VanMeter was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Brewers camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact VanMeter had been putting together an impressive spring, but he was always on the outside looking in for an Opening Day roster spot in Milwaukee. The 28-year-old slashed just .187/.266/.292 across 192 major-league plate appearances last season with the Pirates.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jon Singleton - Reassigned to minors camp Singleton was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Brewers camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Singleton was released by the Brewers back in January before re-signing with the club on a minor-league pact a few weeks later. He hasn't appeared in a game at the major-league level since all the way back in 2015.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andruw Monasterio - Reassigned to minors camp Monasterio was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Brewers camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Monasterio was batting just .130/.286/.261 through 28 plate appearances this spring in Cactus League play. The 25-year-old infielder has yet to make his MLB debut.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Skye Bolt - Reassigned to minor-league camp Bolt was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Brewers camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bolt was 5-for-23 (.217) with two walks and nine strikeouts through 15 games this spring in the Cactus League. The 29-year-old outfielder signed a minor-league deal with Milwaukee in January.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Eddy Alvarez - Reassigned to minors camp Alvarez was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Brewers camp, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Skye Bolt, Andruw Monasterio, Jon Singleton and Josh VanMeter were also reassigned in this round of cuts from major-league camp in Arizona. Alvarez inked a minor-league contract with Milwaukee in December. He carries a career .183 batting average and .524 OPS in 142 plate appearances at baseball's highest level.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elvis Peguero - Optioned to Triple-A level Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Peguero joined the Brewers organization in November as part of the trade package from the Angels for outfielder Hunter Renfroe. The 26-year-old reliever holds a career 9.15 ERA in 19.2 innings of work at the major-league level.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Perkins - Optioned to Nashville Perkins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Perkins managed to score a major-league contract from Milwaukee this winter, but he will not be part of the Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old outfielder put up an .813 OPS with 15 home runs and 21 stolen bases in 101 games last season between the Double-A and Triple-A affiliates of the Yankees.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Payton Henry - Optioned out to Triple-A Henry was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Henry posted a weak .186/.314/.209 batting line in 51 major-league plate appearances for the Marlins between 2021-22 before getting sent to the Brewers this past November. He'll serve as organizational depth at catcher for Milwaukee in 2023.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Cousins - Optioned to Triple-A Cousins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cousins had surrendered seven earned runs on nine hits and four walks through six innings of work this spring in the Cactus League. He should get another look in the Milwaukee bullpen at some point in the early part of the 2023 season.

Keston Hiura - Bringing back toe tap Hiura has brought back the toe tap in his swing, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's something that Hiura is trying to reincorporate on the fly as he struggles to find a groove in Cactus League play. Through his first 35 plate appearances this spring, the 26-year-old has batted just .156/.229/.219 with zero home runs and 15 strikeouts. He is out of minor-league options, so a tough decision could be coming soon as the Brewers sort out their Opening Day roster.

Adrian Houser - Likely to start season in bullpen Houser will pitch out of the bullpen for the Brewers to begin 2023, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Impact Milwaukee's rotation is full at the moment with Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta, Eric Lauer and Wade Miley all cemented as starters to begin the year. That means Houser will shift to a bullpen role with the ability to start if one or more of those players was to miss time. The 30-year-old was shaky over his 21 starts (22 total appearances) in 2022 with a 4.73 ERA, 69:47 K:BB and 1.46 WHIP so it's not a surprise that the Brewers are opting to go with some more consistent options in the starting group. Houser can safely be ignored in fantasy formats as a multi-inning reliever who isn't likely to rack up the strikeouts or pick up saves.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Urías - Three-run homer in WBC loss Urias hit a three-run homer during Monday's 6-5 loss for Team Mexico to Team Japan in the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic.
Impact Urias swatted the homer with two runners aboard off an otherwise impressive Roki Sasaki to give Mexico a 3-0 lead in the fourth. The infielder played well in the tournament with a .278/.381/.444 slash with a homer and four RBI. With Mexico now eliminated, he'll head back to Arizona. He's expected to be a regular for the Brewers during the 2023 campaign.

Journal Sentinel The Brewers informed Adrian Houser early on that, if everyone remained healthy, he was likely going to open the year in the bullpen.

Garrett Mitchell - Returns to lineup Monday Mitchell (hamstring) is back in the Brewers' lineup for Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Mariners. He'll start in center field and bat leadoff.
Impact Mitchell wound up missing a week and a half of action with right hamstring tightness. His offense is a work in progress, but he should be an asset in the stolen-base department for fantasy managers in 2023 as long as he's playing regularly, which appears to be the plan.

Joey Wiemer - Candidate for Opening Day roster Wiemer has a chance to make Milwaukee's Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "We have uncertainty in the outfield right now and that's created s...
Impact With Garrett Mitchell (hamstring) questionable for the start of the season and Tyrone Taylor (elbow) expected to miss the first month of the season, the Brewers don't have any healthy outfielders who bring both defense and offensive upside to the table. Enter Wiemer, whose only non-plus tool is his hit tool, as he has the arm for right field and the speed and glove for center field. He has hit .231 with two home runs, two steals, six strikeouts and three walks in 26 at-bats this spring. The Brewers also have Luke Voit hanging around in hopes of being added to the 40-man roster, so there will have to be quite a bit of roster juggling to squeeze Wiemer onto the 40-man and Opening Day rosters. However, his defensive chops and the mounting injuries in Milwaukee give him a chance.

Luke Voit - Opt-out clause pushed back Voit's opt-out clause has been pushed to Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact There is apparently mutual interest in things working out with Voit in Milwaukee, which is why he did not exercise his opt-out clause this week. The Brewers will look to find a way to add him to the 40-man roster before next weekend, but even if Voit makes the team, he is unlikely to start against righties with Rowdy Tellez at first base and Jesse Winker presumably getting most of his starts at designated hitter.
