Luis Urías - Clubs two-run homer Urias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Rays.
Impact The 25-year-old launched a two-run shot during Tuesday's victory and went deep again during Wednesday's contest. Urias posted a .478 OPS across his first 19 games in June, but he's gone 6-for-14 with two home runs, a double, six RBI and three runs in his past four contests.

Impact Tellez's entered the contest with only two hits in his past five games -- the two homers he hit Sunday versus Toronto -- and he responded Wednesday with his third multi-homer game of the season. The 27-year-old is hitting .249/.324/.494 with 15 home runs, 16 doubles, 47 RBI and 29 runs through 72 games.

Josh Hader - Secures save No. 24 Hader allowed a hit and a walk during a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-3 win at Tampa Bay. He did not strike out a batter.
Impact The left-hander certainly wasn't at his best Wednesday as he allowed the first two batters to reach via a single and a walk, but he retired the next three hitters to lock down the win. It was only the fourth time in 26 outings this year he's failed to record a strikeout. Hader is 24-for-25 in save opportunities and has a 1.09 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 41:7 K:BB across 24.2 innings.

Eric Lauer - Lasts 4.1 frames in no-decision Lauer allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings during Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Rays. He had three strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
Impact Lauer generated only eight swinging strikes on 92 total pitches, and he was pulled during the fifth inning after being unable to maintain a 3-2 lead. The left-hander posted a 2.38 ERA through his first 10 outings of the year, but he's surrendered 20 runs in his past four starts. He tentatively lines up for a matchup with the Cubs early next week.

Jonathan Davis - Managing low back, rib cage issues Davis was diagnosed with low back/rib cage discomfort after leaving Wednesday's game against the Rays, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Davis crashed into the wall in center field on a diving catch in the bottom of the second inning and initially remained in the game, but he exited in the bottom of the third inning. The 30-year-old should tentatively be considered day-to-day prior to Thursday's series opener in Pittsburgh.

Jonathan Davis - Exits after spectacular catch Davis was removed in the bottom of the third inning after suffering an apparent injury to his head or face in the previous inning, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel repor...
Impact Davis made one of the catches of the season to kick off the bottom of the second, flagging down a screaming line drive off the bat of Randy Arozarena at the warning track. He appeared to run face-first into the outfield fence, but he stayed in the game for the remainder of the inning. However, after Davis was evaluated in the dugout in the next half inning, the Brewers opted to hold him out for the remainder of the contest. Jace Peterson entered the game as a replacement for Davis.

Aaron Ashby - Throws bullpen Wednesday Ashby (forearm) threw a bullpen session in Tampa on Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Ashby has been on the 15-day injured list since June 17 due to forearm inflammation, but he's downplayed the severity of the issue recently. He'll meet with the team's staff following Wednesday's throwing session to determine the next steps in his recovery, but it's possible that he returns to the mound during the Brewers' weekend series in Pittsburgh.

Jace Peterson - Not starting against lefty Peterson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact With southpaw Jalen Beeks on the bump for Tampa Bay, the lefty-hitting Peterson will head to the bench after starting in six of the past seven games. Peterson looks as though he'll still play fairly regularly against right-handed pitching, though he's expected to see most of his opportunities in right field moving forward now that the Brewers are back to full strength in the infield after Kolten Wong returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kolten Wong - Resting against lefty Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact Wong made his return from a stint on the injured list due to a calf issue in Tuesday's 5-3 win, starting at second base while going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs. He should serve as Milwaukee's primary option at the keystone moving forward, though the lefty-hitting Wong will occasionally take a seat against left-handed starting pitchers. With southpaw Jalen Beeks on the hill for Tampa Bay in a day game after a night game, manager Craig Counsell decided it was a good opportunity to rest Wong.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Narváez - Takes seat Wednesday Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact With the Brewers wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Jalen Beeks) scheduled to start for Tampa Bay, it comes as little surprise that the lefty-hitting Narvaez takes a seat. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties Wednesday after Narvaez went 1-for-3 with a walk while starting behind the dish in Tuesday's 5-3 win.

Josh Hader - Records 23rd save Hader struck out the side in the ninth inning of a 5-3 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay.
Impact Facing the bottom three spots in the order, Hader made quick work of Taylor Walls and two pinch-hitters, retiring all three on swinging strikeouts. The flame thrower is now 23-for-24 in save chances this season. Through 25 outings he has fanned 41 of the 86 batters he's faced, a remarkable 47.7 percent strikeout rate.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Yelich - Swipes 12th bag Yelich went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in a 5-3 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay.
Impact Yelich singled, stole second and scored in Milwaukee's four-run sixth inning. He served as the designated hitter for the second straight game and sixth time in his last 13 contests. Since moving to the leadoff spot in the order, Yelich has performed much better, slashing .312/.398/.416 over his last 88 plate appearances.

Kolten Wong - Scores twice in return Wong (calf) went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a double and a walk in a 5-3 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay.
Impact In his first game since June 7, Wong doubled and scored in the sixth and walked and scored in the eighth. Before his stint on the injured list, he had primarily been hitting first but he hit fifth in Tuesday's contest. For the season, he's produced a .717 OPS, just a shade below his .726 career mark.

Brandon Woodruff - Fans 10 in return Woodruff (6-3) earned the win Tuesday in Tampa Bay, striking out 10 in five innings while allowing a run on two hits.
Impact Woodruff (hand) was making his first start since going on the injured list on May 30 and was masterful in his return. The righty struck out seven of the first nine batters he faced and retired the Rays in order over the first three innings. Both hits he allowed came in the fourth inning, leading to Tampa Bay's lone run against him. After some struggles to begin the season, Woodruff appeared to have found his way in his last three starts before going on the IL, and on Tuesday he picked up where he left off. He has allowed five runs over his last 20 innings while posting a 26:3 K:BB.
