Garrett Mitchell - Recaptures playing time Mitchell will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets.
Impact After looking to have lost out on the primary role in center field by the middle of last week, Mitchell since seems to have recaptured the gig from Tyrone Taylor, who is on the bench for the third time in four games. MItchell made two starts during the Brewers' weekend series with the Yankees, going 3-for-6 with a walk, two runs and an RBI.

Aaron Ashby - Slated to return Tuesday Ashby (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday to start a bullpen game against the Mets, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Ashby landed on the injured list in late August due to shoulder inflammation but resumed mound work last week. He's expected to take on a relief role over the final few weeks of the regular season so he doesn't have to fully build up to a starting role, but he'll begin Tuesday's matchup on the mound since the Brewers plan to lean on their bullpen.

Tyrone Taylor - Absent from Monday's lineup Taylor isn't starting Monday against the Mets.
Impact Though he went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs during Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, Taylor still appears to be behind Garrett Mitchell for work in center field. Taylor will head to the bench Monday for the third time in four games.

Trevor Kelley - Back in Nashville The Brewers optioned Kelley to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Impact Kelley loses his 26-man roster spot after yielding two runs in 2.1 innings Sunday against the Yankees. Having posted a 6.08 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 23.2 big-league frames this year, the 28-year-old appears unlikely to see much more action with the Brewers in 2022.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Cousins - Back in MLB The Brewers recalled Cousins from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Impact Cousins posted a 2.84 ERA and 17:6 K:BB in 11 appearances for Triple-A Nashville after being sent down Aug. 24. Having also pitched to a 4.50 ERA in eight big-league games this season, the righty should see some action out of the bullpen and, maybe in a pinch, some high-leverage work.
