Christian Yelich - Three-hit effort in loss Yelich went 3-for-4 with a double, a hit-by-pitch and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds. He was also caught stealing for the first time this year.

Impact The double was Yelich's first extra-base hit in six games. Since the All-Star break, the outfielder has hit safely in 13 of 14 games, going 20-for-56 (.357). He struggled at the plate early in the year, but he's up to a .266/.368/.397 slash line with eight home runs, 35 RBI, 70 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 102 contests.

Keston Hiura - Delivers two-run blast Hiura went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

Impact This was Hiura's first start and second game since he was brought up from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. He got the Brewers within a run with his fourth-inning blast, but the Reds pulled away again after that. For the season, Hiura owns a .240/.354/.472 slash line with nine long balls, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases. The righty hitter owns noticeable reverse splits with a 1.054 OPS against righties versus a .559 OPS versus lefties this year, but he may still have to settle for the short side of a platoon with Rowdy Tellez at first base.

Andrew McCutchen - Homers, gets aboard thrice McCutchen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two walks in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

Impact McCutchen produced the Brewers' first and last runs in the game with a solo shot in the fourth and a sacrifice fly in the ninth. He's cooled off a bit since the All-Star break, going 13-for-54 (.241), though he's added two homers, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. The 35-year-old has enjoyed a productive campaign with a .253/.324/.397 slash line, 11 long balls, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored, eight steals and 19 doubles through 404 plate appearances, though a .721 OPS stands as the lowest in his career.

Aaron Ashby - Loses fourth straight start Ashby (2-10) allowed four runs on three hits, five walks and a hit batter while striking out five over 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Reds.

Impact Ashby gave up two runs in the second inning and a two-run home run to Jose Barrero in the fourth. The five walks Ashby allowed matched a season high, and this was the first time in six starts he's allowed more than two earned runs. The southpaw now has a 4.32 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 103:41 K:BB through 85.1 innings across 21 appearances (15 starts). He's projected for a road start in St. Louis next weekend, with two off days for the Brewers next week likely affording Ashby extra rest.

Rowdy Tellez - Takes seat Saturday Tellez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Impact Tellez mashed a homer in the series opener, his 22nd of the season, but he will sit Saturday in favor of Keston Hiura with lefty Nick Lodolo due up for Cincinnati. The 27-year-old Tellez has a .644 OPS against left-handed pitching this season.

Christian Yelich - Registers 16th steal Yelich went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Impact Yelich has recorded three steals in his last six games, and he's up to 16 thefts without getting caught this year. Across his last 14 contests, he's batting .339 (19-for-56) with six extra-base hits and a 13:18 BB:K. The 30-year-old outfielder remains a fixture atop the Brewers' lineup, and he's up to a .261/.363/.391 slash line with eight home runs, 35 RBI and 69 runs scored through 444 plate appearances.

Tyrone Taylor - Delivers three-run blast Taylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Impact Taylor padded the Brewers' lead with his second-inning blast, which was his second homer in his last six games. In that span, he's gone a meager 4-for-19 (.211) with three walks. The outfielder has matched his career-high 12 homers from 93 games last season in just 75 contests this year. He's added a stolen base, 39 RBI, 29 runs scored, 13 doubles, two triples and a .228/.280/.437 slash line. Taylor continues to see a majority of the playing time in center field over Jonathan Davis.

Rowdy Tellez - Big performance in win Tellez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Impact Tellez's first-inning homer was all the Brewers needed in the win. More notably, he added his first stolen base of the year after drawing a leadoff walk in the third. Tellez hadn't attempted a steal since 2020, and he had just one successful theft in three tries in his career prior to Friday. No one will expect the 27-year-old to become a speed threat -- he's a power bat first and foremost. He's up to a career-high 22 homers with 70 RBI, 43 runs scored and a .240/.323/.483 slash line through 399 plate appearances.

Devin Williams - Collects seventh save Williams struck out both batters he faced to earn the save in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Impact Trevor Gott walked two of the first three batters in the ninth inning, but Williams was able to strike out Matt Reynolds and Jonathan India to end the threat. This was Williams' first save (and opportunity) since the Brewers traded Josh Hader to the Padres on Monday. Williams owns a 1.74 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 68:19 K:BB, seven saves and 25 holds through 41.1 innings this season. He's pitched three days in a row, so any potential save opportunity Saturday is likely to go to Taylor Rogers. The balance between those two high-end relievers has yet to be established, but Williams' elite stuff makes him the more intriguing potential closer.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eric Lauer - Sharp in eighth win Lauer (8-3) allowed a run on six hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings, earning the win Friday over the Reds.

Impact Lauer threw 68 of 100 pitches for strikes and limited the damage to a Kyle Farmer RBI single in the fifth inning. Lauer has allowed exactly one run in four of his last six starts, though he has only two wins to go with four no-decisions in that span. The southpaw continues to show improvement after a rough June, and his ERA is down to 3.59 with a 1.22 WHIP and 111:40 K:BB through 112.2 innings across 20 starts this year. He's lined up for an NL Central showdown against the Cardinals in St. Louis next week.
