Ethan Small - Scratched with illness Small was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Small figures to be unavailable for a few days until he's clear of the ailment. The 25-year-old has a 1.95 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB over 32.1 innings this season.

Christian Yelich - Steals fifth base Yelich went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

Impact His lone hit was timely, as Yelich led off the 10th inning with a single that pushed phantom runner Luis Urias to third base and set up Hunter Renfroe for a game-tying sacrifice fly. Yelich continues to struggle to put together an extended hot streak, and on the season he's batting only .237 with five homers, five steals, 20 RBI and 25 runs through 37 games.

Jace Peterson - Swipes sixth bag Peterson went 0-for-1 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

Impact While he didn't get the start, Peterson still played a huge role in the Brewers' come-from-behind win. He pinch hit for Mike Brosseau in the ninth inning, drew a walk off Kenley Jansen and then scored the tying run, before crossing the plate with the game-winning run in the 11th on Keston Hiura's walkoff homer. Peterson should be able to keep a consistent role at third base while Luis Urias is covering shortstop for Willy Adames (ankle), and while the veteran utility player is only batting .224 through 87 plate appearances on the year, it comes with three homers, six steals, nine RBI and 16 runs.

Keston Hiura - Swats walkoff homer in return Hiura went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

Impact Called up from Triple-A Nashville earlier in the day when Willy Adames (ankle) landed on the injured list, Hiura got to play hero for the Brewers by launching a game-winning homer off Jesse Chavez in the bottom of the 11th inning. Hiura had been on fire at Nashville, going 8-for-19 (.421) in five games with three home runs, and the 25-year-old was able to carry that momentum forward for at least one game with Milwaukee.

Corbin Burnes - Escapes with no-decision Wednesday Burnes didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta, giving up four runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a b...

Impact The right-hander ran into trouble in the third inning, serving up back-to-back homers to Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna to account for all the damage against him, but the Brewers bailed him out late. Burnes saw his streak of six straight quality starts come to an end, but he'll still carry a 2.26 ERA and dazzling 62:8 K:BB through 51.2 innings into his next outing.

Jackson Chourio - Turning heads early on Chourio is hitting .356/.412/.578 with a homer, seven doubles, three steals and a 5:7 BB:K through his first 11 games for Single-A Carolina.

Impact The 2021 international signee's hot start has earned him rave reviews from, among others, Baseball America, which noted his power, maturity and extensive toolset. Even at a tender 18 years old, Chourio makes incredibly loud contact, and a lot of it -- all with a great approach at the dish and strong defensive abilities in center field. Run, don't walk, to grab him in dynasty formats.

Jace Peterson - Sits against lefty Peterson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact With Willy Adames (ankle) moving to the 10-day injured list and Luis Urias likely to take over as the everyday shortstop in the short term, Peterson is expected to occupy the strong side of a platoon at third base. However, with southpaw Max Fried on the hill Wednesday for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Peterson will take a seat in favor of Mike Brosseau.
