Christian Yelich - Takes seat Sunday Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact He'll head to the bench for the first time since June 4, ending a stretch of 31 consecutive starts. The day out of the lineup plus Monday's team off day should allow Yelich to get a mental reset after he went 2-for-18 with a double, four walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base over the Brewers' past five contests. Keston Hiura will replace Yelich in left field in Sunday's series finale.

Jace Peterson - Heads to bench Sunday Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact The lefty-hitting Peterson will retreat to the bench with southpaw Jose Quintana on the mound, opening up a spot in the outfield for Jonathan Davis, who sat out the past two contests. Peterson had started each of the past four games in right field, going 3-for-12 with a double, an RBI, a run and a stolen base.

Kolten Wong - Sitting versus lefty Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Keston Hiura - Nabs fourth straight start Hiura will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Hiura's playing time is on the upswing; he'll make his fourth consecutive start after going 5-for-11 with a home run and a walk in the past three contests. Though he should be a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching for the foreseeable future, Hiura looks like he could see an uptick in opportunities against right-handed pitching in the short term with Andrew McCutchen picking up more time in the outfield of late with Tyrone Taylor (concussion) and Hunter Renfroe (calf) on the injured list.
JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Narváez - Gets breather versus lefty Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact With lefty Jose Quintana on the hill for the Pirates, the lefty-hitting Narvaez will cede duties behind the plate to Pedro Severino. Narvaez went 1-for-7 with three walks while catching in each of Milwaukee's previous three games.

Brandon Woodruff - Strikes out nine in no-decision Woodruff registered a no-decision during Saturday's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in six-plus innings.
Impact Woodruff was perfect through four innings and held Pittsburgh scoreless through six, but it fell apart in the seventh when he departed after surrendering three straight hits to lead off the inning. The three runs surrendered snapped a streak of five starts allowing two earned runs or fewer. The 29-year-old has a 4.01 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 60.2 innings. Woodruff is scheduled to pitch again next weekend on the road in San Francisco.

Tyrone Taylor - Likely out until Giants series Taylor (concussion) appears likely to return during the Brewers' series against the Giants that begins July 14, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Taylor has been on the 7-day concussion injured list since Sunday, but he'll presumably need to spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf. The 28-year-old will work on ramping up his workload over the next few days before potentially returning to the active roster shortly before the All-Star break.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hunter Renfroe - Likely out until late next week Renfroe (calf) appears likely to return during the Brewers' series in San Francisco late next week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Renfroe has been on the injured list with a left calf strain since June 26, but he resumed baseball activities Monday. He's slated to miss at least a few more days, and it's possible that he's sent on a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Brewers.

Jonathan Davis - Sitting once again Davis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Davis started in the first six games of the month but will take a seat for a second consecutive matchup Saturday. Andrew McCutchen is shifting to center field while Keston Hiura serves as the designated hitter.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brice Turang - Reaching base regularly Turang went 24-for-80 (.300) with six RBI, five stolen bases and a 12:16 BB:K over his last 20 games with Triple-A Nashville.
Impact Turang recorded only two doubles, a triple and no homers over that 20-game stretch, but he fared well in both the batting average and OBP (.391) departments. The 22-year-old is making a case to join the major-league ranks for the first time, but the Brewers are set at the shortstop position and Turang is not ready to handle center field at the top level, so a call-up does not appear imminent.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jackson Chourio - Continues to impress Chourio went 10-for-38 (.263) with four home runs, seven RBI, eight runs and three steals over his last 10 games with Single-A Carolina.
Impact The 18-year-old continues to justify his rapid ascent up top prospect lists, and he now owns a stellar .984 OPS through 235 plate appearances at the Single-A level. If he can come anywhere close to matching that mark over the back half of the campaign, he's going to rise even further up the ranks heading into the offseason.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Williams - Secures league-leading 22nd hold Williams tossed a scoreless eighth inning and picked up his league-leading 22nd hold in Friday's victory over the Pirates.
Impact Williams allowed a couple runners to reach base Friday, but when it was all said and done he wound up keeping the opponent off the scoreboard for the 23rd time in his last 23 appearances. Since that streak began, Williams has also posted a meager 0.69 WHIP and a 36:8 K:BB over 21.2 frames.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hoby Milner - Tosses scoreless frame Milner tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Friday's victory over the Pirates.
Impact Milner had a nine-appearance scoreless streak snapped in his first outing of July, but he bounced back Friday by retiring all three batters he faced in the seventh inning. Milner is quietly going about his business but now owns a 2.25 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 32.0 innings over 34 appearances this season.

Josh Hader - Notches 26th save Hader gave up one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two to earn the save in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.
Impact Hader had some trouble with the Pirates in the ninth inning, but he managed to close out the game to pick up his MLB-leading 26th save. The game ended on a Daniel Vogelbach RBI single to right center which scored Diego Castillo. With two outs and running on contact, Kevin Newman tried to score from first on the play but was thrown out at the plate on a relay throw. Despite relying on his defense to get the job done, Hader earned a dramatic road save and he will carry elite numbers into his next appearance.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kolten Wong - Triples and swipes bag Wong went 2-for-2 with an RBI triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.
Impact Wong's stolen base gives him 10 on the season. He has now had double-digit stolen bases five times over his career. The 31-year-old veteran is putting up numbers very close to his career averages this season with a pedestrian .242/.332/.417 slash line through 62 games played.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew McCutchen - Stelas sixth base McCutchen went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.
Impact McCutchen made two stolen base attempts in the game and was caught stealing once. He now has six stolen bases in 11 attempts, for a 55% stolen base success rate. The 35-year-old veteran may not be given the green light to run very much in the future if he is unable to steal more efficiently. After his two-hit game, McCutchen is slashing .254/.321/.375 over 69 games this season.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willy Adames - Belts 17th homer Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.
Impact Adames went deep for his 17th home run of the season to help power the Brewers to victory. The 26-year-old shortstop is slashing a meager .167/.286/.333 with only four hits in July. Despite struggling to make contact and get on base this year, Adames is well on pace to set career highs in home runs and RBI.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Ashby - Limits damage for second win Ashby (2-6) gave up two earned runs on two walks and three hits while striking out three over five innings to earn the win in a 4-3 victory over the Pirates on Friday.
Impact Ashby did just enough to earn the win against a weak Pirates offense by lasting five innings on 72 pitches. The only runs he gave up came on a two-run shot off the bat of Diego Castillo in the fourth. The win breaks a chain of poor outings which saw the 24-year-old left-hander's ERA spike from 2.70 at the end of May to 4.60 coming into this start. Despite the struggles, Ashby's plus stuff has racked up 76 strikeouts in 63.2 innings pitched this season. He is expected to take the mound next week at San Francisco.
