MILWAUKEE BREWERS NEWS

Tyrone Taylor - Sitting out day game Taylor is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With the Brewers electing to give one of their big trade-deadline pickups, outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz, more time to develop at Triple-A Nashville, Taylor looks like he'll stick as Milwaukee's primary option in center field. Jonathan Davis will draw the start at the position Thursday, but that's likely a byproduct of manager Craig Counsell electing to extend Taylor some rest for the day game after a night game.

Luis Urías - Gets Thursday off Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Amid a rough patch at the plate, Urias will take a seat for the day game after a night game, affording Mike Brosseau a turn at third base. Urias has gone 3-for-20 over his last five starts, with his season-long average falling to .230 as a result.

Mario Feliciano - Gets call to majors The Brewers recalled Feliciano from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Heading into Wednesday, Feliciano was No. 4 on the Brewers' organizational depth chart at catcher, but he'll find himself with the big club as the No. 2 option behind the dish ahead of the team's series finale in Pittsburgh. In the wake of Tuesday's trade-deadline moves, the Brewers designated No. 3 catcher Pedro Severino for assignment Wednesday, only to lose top backstop Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) to an injury in their 8-7 loss to Pittsburgh later that night. With Narvaez heading to the 10-day injured list Thursday in a corresponding move, Feliciano will now settle in as Victor Caratini's top backup until Narvaez is healthy again.

Omar Narváez - Ticketed for IL The Brewers placed Narvaez on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left quadriceps strain.

Impact Narvaez's injury is unfortunate timing for the Brewers, who designated No. 3 catcher Pedro Severino for assignment Wednesday and could be at risk of losing him to the waiver wire even though he would have been the top choice to replace Narvaez on the 26-man active roster. Instead, the Brewers called up Mario Feliciano from Triple-A Nashville to provide depth behind Victor Caratini, who will step in as the team's No. 1 backstop for the duration of Narvaez's absence.

Brewers come into matchup against the Pirates on losing streak

The Milwaukee Brewers aim to stop their three-game losing streak with a victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates

Freddy Peralta - Pulled in fourth inning Peralta gave up two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings in an 8-7 loss to the Pirates on Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision...

Impact Peralta made his first start since May 22 due to being sidelined with a lat injury. It didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, since he was pulled before making it through the fourth inning after giving up a triple to Tucupita Marcano. However, Peralta did throw 67 pitches without any discomfort. It is a positive sign that he could be on his way to recapturing the success he found in 2021, when he posted an excellent 2.81 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 195 strikeouts in 27 starts. Look for him to try and increase his workload in his next expected start against the Rays.

Omar Narváez - Dealing with quad strain Narvaez was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Pirates with a quadriceps strain and will be unavailable for Thursday's series finale, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel...

Impact Narvez went 1-for-3 with a run before being lifted during the eighth inning for a pinch hitter. The injury is exceptionally poor timing for the Brewers, which designated fellow catcher Pedro Severino for assignment prior to Wednesday's game. Victor Caratini should start behind the plate Thursday, but it remains to be seen who serves as the backup catcher if Narvaez is forced to miss any additional time.

Brewers waive Lamet, Severino following trade deadline

Dinelson Lamet was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers, two days after being acquired in a trade that sent closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Peter Strzelecki - Sent down to minors Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Strzelecki spent a week in the major-league bullpen and struck out three in two scoreless innings over a pair of relief appearances. However, he'll head back to the minors after the Brewers acquired Matt Bush on Tuesday.

Keston Hiura - Gets call-up from Nashville The Brewers recalled Hiura from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Though Hiura will be back to provide the Brewers with another right-handed-hitting option off the bench, he might not be guaranteed a short-side platoon role. Albeit in a limited sample, Hiura has been far more effective against righties (.453 wOBA, 194 wRC+ in 79 plate appearances) than lefties (.238 wOBA, 48 wRC+ in 65 plate appearances) during his time with the big club this season.

Pedro Severino - Designated for assignment Severino was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Severino was reinstated from his suspension at the beginning of July, but he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster since both Omar Narvaez and Victor Caratini are remaining with the team following the trade deadline. Severino appeared in just eight games for the Brewers and went 4-for-18 with two doubles, an RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts.

Freddy Peralta - Comes off IL The Brewers reinstated Peralta (lat) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start in Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Impact Peralta stretched out to only 3.1 innings and 52 pitches over the course of his two minor-league rehab assignment, but the Brewers were satisfied enough with his results and with how he looked from a pure stuff standpoint to bring him back from the IL slightly sooner than originally expected. Though he'll pick up the start Wednesday, Peralta is unlikely to work more than five or six innings, but that could be enough for him to qualify for the win if the Brewers are able to get out to an early lead. The newly acquired Dinelson Lamet was designated for assignment to open up a spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Peralta, who will be making his first start for the Brewers since May 22.

Dinelson Lamet - DFA'd after acquisition The Brewers designated Lamet for assignment Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact One of four players the Brewers received in return for closer Josh Hader in Monday's deal with the Padres, Lamet will be moved off the 40-man roster without having ever appeared for Milwaukee. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, general manager David Stearns said that while the Brewers liked Lamet's live arm and strong prior track record of experience at the MLB level, finding a spot for him in the bullpen became too challenging in the wake of Tuesday's trade deadline. Lamet is under contract for $4.78 million in 2022, so the Brewers are hoping that salary may be enough to deter another team from claiming the right-hander off waivers, which would allow him to remain in the farm system at Triple-A Nashville.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • PENNLIVE.COM

Corbin Burnes - Allows four runs in loss Burnes (8-5) took the loss against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits while striking out six and walking five across 5.1 innings.

Impact Burnes was uncharacteristically inefficient Tuesday, throwing 53 of 103 pitches for strikes over 5.1 frames. The four runs allowed to the Pirates were the most he has allowed in a single game since he allowed five runs to the Padres on June 3. The five walks were a single game season-high for Burnes. Since July 14, his ERA has steadily creeped up and now sits at 2.49. He will look to turn things around in his next appearance.

Kolten Wong - Three-hit performance Wong went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss against the Pirates.

Impact Wong put the Brewers up 3-0 after his solo shot in the sixth inning followed home runs from Willy Adames and Rowdy Tellez. It was Wong's eighth homer of the year. The second baseman has been on fire since July 26, extending his hit streak to six games since then. During that time frame, Wong has gone 10-for-20 with three multi-hit performances and has raised his batting average from .242 to .257.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rowdy Tellez - Launches solo home run Tellez went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss against the Pirates.

Impact After Willy Adames hit a solo shot in the top of the sixth inning, Tellez followed immediately thereafter with a solo shot of his own. It was his 21st homer of the year and his third in five games. Since July 24, the first baseman is 8-for-26, taking his batting average from .227 to .236 in the process. Tellez has five runs and nine RBI during that span, along with six strikeouts.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Willy Adames - Solo homer in loss Adames went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Adames put the first run on the board for either team with a solo shot in the top of the sixth inning. It was his 21st home run of the year and his first since July 22. After a five-game hit streak ended on July 25, the shortstop has struggled to get things going again, as he has six hits in his last 30 at-bats. Adames also has 10 strikeouts during that span. Even though he is batting .222 on the year, the penchant for hitting home runs is enough to keep him relevant in fantasy baseball.
