DL Hall - Added ahead of spot start The Brewers recalled Hall from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hall is the designated 27th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Reds and will start the second game. The left-hander made a spot start earlier this month -- his first with the Brewers since April -- and struck out nine while yielding three runs (one earned) over 4.2 innings. Hall is likely to be sent back down immediately following the double dip.

Garrett Mitchell - Homers, steals base in win Mitchell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and stolen base in a 6-0 win over the Giants on Thursday.

Impact Mitchell gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead with a solo homer off Hayden Birdsong. The outfielder picked up his third home run of the season, while the stolen base was the fifth. Mitchell has had a decent campaign when available, and there's long-term potential in his left-handed bat should he start getting regular at-bats.

Aaron Civale - Shines in fifth win Civale (5-8) allowed two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings Thursday, striking out seven to get the win over the Guardians.

Impact Civale was brilliant on Thursday, keeping the Giants off the board over seven frames. It was Civale's third career start of seven or more shutout innings and first since April 2023. Civale has kept his opponents off the scoreboard in two of his last three starts after giving up at least one run in his first 23 starts this season. The 29-year-old has a 3.72 ERA in his first nine starts with the Brewers.

William Contreras - Steals home in win Contreras went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base, and a run in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Giants.

Impact The Brewers pulled out a play straight out of little league on Thursday against the Giants. With runners on first and third and two outs, Willy Adames took off from first and caught the Giants in a rundown only to allow Contreras to score from third. Contreras has now tied a career high with six steals. He remains one of the premier players at his position this season and carries a .285/.361/.466 slash line through 129 games.

Hoby Milner - Rehab assignment imminent Milner (shoulder) expects to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Impact He would then make another appearance Sunday and could be activated after that. Milner has been sidelined since mid-August with a left shoulder impingement.

Brandon Woodruff - Throws bullpen session Woodruff (shoulder) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the first time the veteran right-hander has throw from the bump since he underwent shoulder surgery last October. Woodruff is scheduled for another bullpen session on Friday or Saturday as he slowly ramps up his throwing program. He won't be available in 2024 even if the Brewers make a deep postseason run, but the hope is that Woodruff will be ready to go for spring training.

Jacob Misiorowski - Preparing to help big club Misiorowski has a 1.69 ERA, 0.38 WHIP and a 12:3 K:BB in 10.2 innings across seven appearances for Triple-A Nashville.

Impact The Brewers are grooming Misiorowski for a bullpen role that could help the big club over the final month of the season and into the postseason. This developmental process has been used by Milwaukee in the past with Brandon Woodruff and Corbin Burnes starring as postseason bullpen weapons before joining the big-league rotation the following season.

Sal Frelick - Getting day off Frelick is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact As Adam McCalvy of MLB.com notes, Frelick fouled a ball off himself during Wednesday's 5-3 win and was removed from the contest in the top of the eighth inning, but his early exit seems to have been mostly precautionary. McCalvy characterized Frelick's absence from the lineup Thursday as more of an off day rather than the result of legitimate concern about his health, so the expectation is that the 24-year-old will be back in the lineup for Friday's series opener in Cincinnati. Garrett Mitchell will spell Frelick in right field Thursday.

DL Hall - Candidate to start Friday Hall has joined the Brewers in Milwaukee and is a candidate to either start or serve as a bulk reliever in the second game of Friday's doubleheader in Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of M...

Impact Hall made a spot start earlier this month against the Reds, allowing three runs (one earned) while striking out nine over 4.2 frames. The left-hander would likely be added as the 27th man Friday and be sent down immediately following the twin bill.

Blake Perkins - Getting steady playing time Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact Before he landed on the injured list Aug. 12 with a right calf strain, Perkins had been serving as the Brewers' fourth outfielder, but he seems to have moved into a near-everyday role since being activated last Thursday. The switch-hitting Perkins will pick up his sixth consecutive start Thursday, with four of those coming against right-handed pitchers. Perkins is getting on base at a .409 clip since returning from the IL and appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Garrett Mitchell as the Brewers' preferred option in center field.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Jake Bauers - Resting against righty Bauers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact Bauers had started at either first base or designated hitter in each of the Brewers' previous three matchups with right-handers, but after sitting against Giants lefty Kyle Harrison on Wednesday, Bauers will remain on the bench for the series finale while righty Hayden Birdsong takes the hill for San Francisco. Rhys Hoskins will pick up the start at first base Thursday, and William Contreras will get a day off behind the plate and serve as the Brewers' DH.

Andruw Monasterio - Logs sixth steal Monasterio went 0-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Monasterio has seen little playing time while occupying a short-side platoon role since the All-Star break. He's gone 5-for-22 over his last 14 contests while serving as an infield depth option. For the year, he has a poor .208/.322/.277 slash line with one home run, six steals, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 118 plate appearances.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

William Contreras - Caps rally in win Contreras went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Contreras completed a five-run rally for the Brewers when he took Giants starter Kyle Harrison deep in the fifth inning. Contreras had been in a small rut, going 0-for-11 with three walks over his previous three games. The catcher is up to 18 homers, 76 RBI, 83 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .283/.359/.464 slash line through 128 contests this season.

Devin Williams - Nabs save in return Williams (shoulder) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Williams hadn't pitched in a week due to shoulder soreness that surfaced over the weekend. His last outing was a blown save last Wednesday versus the Cardinals that saw him walk three batters. For the year, Williams is at a 2.79 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB with six saves in seven chances across 9.2 innings. Barring any additional injury concerns, Williams is poised to be the Brewers' full-time closer over the final month of the season.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Freddy Peralta - Strong again in win Peralta (9-7) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out eight over six scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Giants.

Impact Peralta has allowed just one run over his last 17 innings while winning two of three starts in that span. The veteran right-hander trimmed his ERA to 3.70 with a 1.19 WHIP and 172:56 K:BB over 148.1 innings across 27 starts this season. Peralta hasn't dominated as much in August with a 23:11 K:BB over 28 innings this month, but he's finding success in run prevention. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals.
