Kolten Wong - Targeting Saturday return Wong (calf) hopes to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran second baseman has been unavailable due to calf soreness since June 7, but he expects to spend only the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Luis Urias has seen most of the action at second base with Wong sidelined, with Jace Peterson operating as the primary third baseman.

Christian Yelich - In zone as leadoff man Yelich will start in left field and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Since Kolten Wong suffered a calf strain exactly one week ago that ultimately resulted in him landing on the injured list, Yelich has handled table-setting duties in each of the Brewers' subsequent six games. The Brewers could consider keeping Yelich atop the lineup even after Wong returns, given how well the 2018 National League MVP has responded to the assignment thus far. He'll carry a six-game hitting streak into Tuesday, with Yelich having gone 11-for-26 with a home run, two stolen bases and a 1:4 BB:K over that stretch.

Jace Peterson - Everyday role reopens Peterson will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Peterson briefly lost hold of a regular starting role June 8 when Willy Adames made his return from the 10-day injured list, but Kolten Wong (calf) was deactivated three days later to reopen playing time in the infield. The 32-year-old Peterson will pick up his fifth start at third base in six games Tuesday and should play often against right-handed pitching until Wong is back from the IL.

Rowdy Tellez - Power dwindling Tellez will start at first base and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Tellez appears to have found a new home in the three hole, with five of his last six starts having come out of that position in the batting order. The change hasn't done much to spark Tellez's power production; he's gone 14 straight games without a home run and has supplied only three extra-base hits (all doubles) during that stretch.

Luis Urías - Back in action Urias (hamstring) is starting at second base and hitting cleanup Tuesday against the Mets.

Impact He has had a couple minor injuries recently, dealing with a thumb injury at the beginning of the month and then this hamstring issue that popped up Sunday. Urias hasn't had a multi-hit game since May 23 and is hitting .131 with three home runs over his last 17 games.

Brandon Woodruff - Trending in right direction Woodruff (Raynaud's syndrome) was able to throw a few breaking balls during a 40-pitch bullpen session in New York on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact He said it was "a big step" to be able to throw all of his pitches, as the offspeed pitches had been the ones he had struggled with due to the hand numbness associated with Raynaud's syndrome. Woodruff said he has been on medicine for about a week and that he has noticed daily improvement with how he has been able to grip the ball, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Woodruff also added that warm weather helps, so things could keep trending up from here.

Chi Chi González - Claimed by Brewers Gonzalez was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Impact Gonzalez has made two starts for the Twins this season, giving up six runs on 12 hits across seven innings while walking just four batters. Those outings raised his career ERA to 5.69. He was designated for assignment by Minnesota on Saturday but will wind up sticking in the big leagues, presumably in a bullpen role for his new team.

Freddy Peralta - Shifts to 60-day IL The Brewers transferred Peralta (lat) on Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.

Impact The transaction ensures that Peralta will be sidelined through the All-Star break, a development that was expected after Will Sammon of The Athletic reported earlier Tuesday that the right-hander recently resumed working out in Arizona but is still a month away from being ready to rejoin the Brewers' active roster. With Peralta being removed from the 40-man roster as a result of the move to the 60-day IL, the Brewers opened up a spot for right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez, who was claimed off waivers from the Twins.

Freddy Peralta - Likely to miss another month Peralta (lat) recently resumed working out at the Brewers' extended spring training facility in Arizona, but he's not expected to make his return from the 15-day injured list for a...

Impact Peralta has been on the shelf since exiting his May 22 start with a right lat strain. At the time Peralta was shut down with the injury, the Brewers were bracing for a long-term absence, so the news that he'll likely remain sidelined through the All-Star break shouldn't come as a major surprise. Until Peralta resumes facing hitters and is cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment, the Brewers likely won't offer a potential target date for his return from the IL.

Jason Alexander - Yields one run in no-decision Alexander allowed one run on seven hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in Sunday's win over Washington. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Alexander escaped a few jams before the Nationals finally broke through in the fifth inning with Josh Bell's RBI sacrifice fly that knocked Alexander from the game. He's now allowed two or fewer earned runs in each of his first three MLB starts. The 29-year-old is sporting a 2.16 ERA with a lackluster 6:8 K:BB through 16.2 frames. Alexander is expected to start in Cincinnati next week.

Willy Adames - Drives in three runs Adames went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over Washington.

Impact Adames provided most of Milwaukee's offense Sunday, knocking an RBI double in the third inning before taking Evan Lee deep for a two-run shot in the fifth. He's now 3-for-20 with two homers since returning from the injured list. Sunday was his first multi-hit performance since May 5 and it bumped his season slash line to .200/.290/.467 with 28 RBI and 18 extra-base hits.

Josh Hader - Locks down save Hader struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning and earned a save over Washington on Sunday.

Impact After blowing a save and coughing up his first two runs of the year in his last appearance, Hader got right back into a groove by punching out three straight Nationals on 15 pitches. He's now sporting a 33:6 K:BB and a 0.92 ERA through 21 appearances. The 28-year-old southpaw has now gone five straight outings without issuing a walk.

Luis Urías - Leaves with tight hamstring Urias left Sunday's game against the Nationals with right hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Mark Mathias - Impressive return to majors Mathias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Mathias helped spark a rally from an 8-1 deficit in the seventh inning when he took Patrick Corbin deep, but the Brewers ran out of time to tie things up. The 27-year-old has been extremely productive for Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .325/.426/.526 through 34 games, but Saturday's homer and steal were his first for Milwaukee in three games as he's bounced on and off the roster. With Kolten Wong (calf) on the shelf, however, Mathias might get a chance to carve out a regular role in the majors in the short term.
