Rowdy Tellez - Bows out of starting nine Tellez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
Christian Yelich - Batting third Monday Yelich will start in left field and hit third Monday against the Dodgers.
Impact Yelich had previously batted leadoff in the last 58 games in which he started, but manager Craig Counsell will switch things up and put Yelich back in the lineup spot he opened the season in. The 2018 National League MVP had a rough go of it earlier in August, but he's gotten back on track a bit, hitting .286 (6-for-21) and posting an .804 OPS over his last six games.

Jason Alexander - Called up Monday Alexander was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Impact Alexander was sent to the minors Wednesday but will rejoin the big-league club after Aaron Ashby (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. The Brewers haven't yet indicated what role Alexander will play following his call-up, but it's possible that he serves as a starting pitcher in Ashby's absence. Over 12 appearances (seven starts) in the majors this year, Alexander has posted a 5.18 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 48.2 innings.
AUGUST 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Ashby - Placed on injured list Ashby was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation Monday, retroactive to Aug. 20.
Impact Ashby struggled during Friday's start against the Cubs, giving up six runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out eight in five innings. It's possible that his injury contributed to his struggles, and he'll ultimately be forced to miss time. The Brewers haven't yet indicated who will take Ashby's place in the rotation, but Jason Alexander should be a candidate to do so after he was recalled Monday.

Jace Peterson - Ready for rehab assignment Peterson (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Peterson is expected to play three consecutive days for the High-A affiliate before returning to Milwaukee on Friday and potentially getting activated from the injured list ahead of the Brewers' series opener with the Cubs if team doctors are satisfied with the condition of his sprained left elbow. Once reinstated from the IL, Peterson is expected to settle back in as the Brewers' top utility man.

Taylor Rogers - Earns 29th save Rogers picked up the save in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Cubs. He allowed zero runs on one hit and zero walks while striking out one over one inning.
Impact Rogers pitched around a two-out double off the bat of Seiya Suzuki to record his 29th save of the season Sunday. This was the southpaw's fourth straight scoreless outing but his first save since joining the Brewers on August 2. Devin Williams still figures to be the top dog for save opportunities with Josh Hader out of the picture since being shipped to San Diego despite blowing the save opportunity Saturday. Keep an eye on the closer situation in Milwaukee in case skipper Craig Counsell decides to turn to Rogers more often.

Rowdy Tellez - Slugs 26th homer Tellez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Cubs.
Impact The Brewers' slugger took a 3-1 fastball from Mark Leiter 444 feet in the seventh inning to bring the Brewers to 1-2 before Keston Hiura would go back-to-back to tie the game. Tellez also scored in the ninth inning on Hiura's second home run of the afternoon after reaching base via the walk. The first baseman has been effective in August with a .255/.377/.588 slash line entering Sunday's matchup. He now has 26 homers on the season, tied for fifth in the majors among first baseman.

Keston Hiura - Cranks two homers Hiura went 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.
Impact The Brewers' DH went hitless in his two at bats against starter Justin Steele but got to the Cubs' bullpen with a solo shot in the seventh to tie the game at 2-2 and a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to push the game to 5-2. The 26-year-old is now slashing a healthy .247/.349/.507 despite his strikeout rate north of 40%. If he can find a way to more regular at bats, he could continue to be a sneaky source of home runs the rest of the way.
AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Woodruff - Earns no-decision Sunday Woodruff did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.
Impact Woodruff failed to complete six innings for the second time in as many starts, as manager Craig Counsell pulled him at 105 pitches after walking Seiya Suzuki with two outs in the sixth. The two runs allowed came from solo home runs off the bats of Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki. The righty has now allowed two or more earned runs in each of his last four starts, including two home runs allowed in each of the last three. He will take a 3.51 ERA into his next start.

Omar Narváez - Out against lefty Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Narvaez started at catcher in his return from the 10-day injured list in Saturday's 6-5 loss in 11 innings, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Though he should see the bulk of the starts behind the plate moving forward, the lefty-hitting Narvaez will bow out of the lineup Sunday with Chicago bringing a southpaw (Justin Steele) to the hill. Victor Caratini will catch for starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff in the series finale.
AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kolten Wong - Rests against lefty Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact With the Cubs bringing a southpaw (Justin Steele) to the mound for a day game, Brewers skipper Craig Counsell viewed it as a good time to give the lefty-hitting Wong a rest. Luis Urias will slide over from third base to replace Wong at second base.
AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Yelich - Out of Sunday's lineup Yelich is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.
Impact Yelich will get a day off after making a key error that cost the Brewers the chance to close out a victory against the Cubs on Saturday. More positively, he is riding a five-game hitting streak during which he's hit .286 with a homer, three RBI and six runs scored. Keston Hiura will enter the lineup and hit sixth while Andrew McCutchen will take over in left field.
AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Freddy Peralta - Strikes out five batters Peralta did not factor into the decision against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out five and walking three over six innings.
Impact Peralta earned a quality start in Saturday's contest, but with the game going to extra innings, he did not factor into the decision. He threw 54 of 95 pitches for strikes allowing two runs to score on a Willson Contreras homer in the fifth inning. The effort was his third quality start of the year and lowered his ERA to 4.08.
AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willy Adames - Hits two-run homer Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Cubs.
Impact Adames knocked in Christian Yelich on an eighth-inning homer. It was the second home run of the week for the shortstop and his 24th of the season. Adames has been very streaky this month, with two three-game hit streaks, a five-game hit streak and now a two-game hit streak. Despite stringing together multiple games with hits, Adames has a .233 August batting average partially thanks to 18 strikeouts for the month. He is slashing .222/.287/.451 on the season.
