Omar Narváez - Stays on bench Wednesday Narvaez isn't starting in Wednesday's series finale versus the Braves.
Lorenzo Cain - Not starting Wednesday Cain isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Keston Hiura - Recalled by Brewers Hiura was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Impact Hiura spent the first month of the season on the major-league roster and hit .216 with two homers, five runs, five RBI and a stolen base. After going 8-for-19 with three homers, 10 RBI and three runs over five games in Nashville, the 25-year-old will rejoin the major-league club to provide additional infield depth after Willy Adames (ankle) was placed on the 10-day IL.
MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willy Adames - Heads to IL The Brewers placed Adames on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a high left ankle sprain.
Impact The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Adames will be eligible to come off the IL as soon as May 26. Though Adames has shown improvement since initially suffering the injury Sunday, the progress he made wasn't significant enough for the Brewers to feel optimistic about his chances of returning to the lineup by the end of the week. While Adames is on the shelf, Luis Urias is expected to take over as the everyday shortstop, with Milwaukee likely to run out a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at third base.

Adrian Houser - Handed tough-luck loss Houser (3-4) took the loss during Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Atlanta, allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings.
Impact Houser and Atlanta starter Tucker Davidson went toe-to-toe in this one, unfortunately for the 29-year-old a fifth inning Mike Brosseau error on a potential inning-ending double play let home a run that proved enough to saddle him with a second straight loss. He's now surrendered a surprising six unearned runs over his last three starts though the six strikeouts match a season high. He'll most likely take the hill again early next week against San Diego.

Andrew McCutchen - Won't return Wednesday McCutchen (illness) won't be activated from the COVID-19 injured list for Wednesday's series finale versus Atlanta, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact The veteran outfielder was scheduled for a full workout Tuesday, and the team apparently wants to give him a couple more days to keep ramping up before rejoining the active roster. McCutchen is now expected to be activated for Friday's series opener against the Nationals.

Willy Adames avoids the injured list - for now, at least - while Andrew McCutchen nears a return to the Brewers lineup The Brewers shortstop suffered a sprained left ankle sliding into home plate Sunday against the Marlins and missed games Monday and Tuesday.

Willy Adames - Unlikely to return before Saturday Adames (ankle) isn't expected to return before Saturday's game against Washington, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact Adames sprained his left ankle Sunday against the Marlins. While he's avoided the injured list for now, the Brewers have yet to write off the possibility. He'll wind up missing at least five days and could miss at least 10 if he shows no improvement Wednesday.
MAY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jace Peterson - Takes seat Tuesday Peterson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Peterson will head to the bench after seven of the last eight games while seeing action at three different positions. Andrew McCutchen (illness) is expected to return from the COVID-19 injured list later this week and close off a potential avenue to playing time in the outfield or at designated hitter, but Peterson could continue to pick up starts in the infield if Willy Adames (ankle) is forced to the 10-day IL.

Omar Narváez - Sits against southpaw Narvaez will hit the bench Tuesday against Atlanta.
Impact Narvaez sits against southpaw Tucker Davidson, as he has against all but one lefty the Brewers have faced this season. Victor Caratini will take over behind the plate.

Andrew McCutchen - Likely to return by weekend Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said McCutchen (illness) will "probably" be activated from the COVID-19-related injured list ahead of Wednesday's series fina...
Impact Whether the Brewers choose to bring McCutchen back Wednesday or following Thursday's team off day will hinge on how he fares from a conditioning standpoint during his full workout Tuesday. While McCutchen has been on the shelf for the past week and a half, the Brewers have mostly rotated Rowdy Tellez and Christian Yelich at designated hitter, which has opened up more opportunities for Jace Peterson and Tyrone Taylor.

Trevor Kelley - Gets call-up to majors The Brewers selected Kelley's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Impact To clear room for Kelley on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, the Brewers placed J.C. Mejia on the restricted list after he was handed an 80-game suspension Tuesday for violating MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The right-handed Kelley last appeared in the majors in 2020, when he logged four appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen. He was sharp over 13 innings with Nashville this season, posting an 0.69 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB.

J.C. Mejía - Dealt 80-game suspension Major League Baseball handed Mejia an 80-game suspension Tuesday for violating the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Impact He becomes the second Brewers player to receive an 80-game suspension this season, joining catcher Pedro Severino, who was handed his ban in early April. The Brewers will place Mejia on the restricted list as a result of the suspension, a transaction that opens up a spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for right-hander Trevor Kelley, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Nashville. Mejia had made two appearances out of the bullpen since being promoted from the minors May 10, working 2.1 innings while giving up six earned runs. He'll be eligible for reinstatement from the suspension in mid-August.

Impact Adames sat out Monday's 1-0 win with the left ankle sprain, an injury that previously forced him out of Sunday's 7-3 victory over the Marlins. Though he'll give way to Luis Urias at shortstop for the second day in a row, Adames showed enough improvement upon reporting to the ballpark Tuesday for the Brewers to push back an IL decision until Wednesday, according to Stearns. That being said, Stearns noted that a trip to the IL is "still on the table" for Adames, who may need to resume baseball activities in some capacity Wednesday to avoid being deactivated for at least the next week.

Luis Urías - On base three times in win Urias went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.
Impact The 24-year-old matched the entire Atlanta roster by reaching base three times in the game. Urias has hit the ground running after missing the first four weeks of the season with a quad strain, batting .302 (13-for-43) in 12 games with two homers, six RBI and nine runs.

Josh Hader - Collects 14th save Hader struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Monday to record his 14th save of the season in a 1-0 win over Atlanta.
Impact Atlanta batters were only able to make contact with one of the 15 pitches Hader threw -- a foul ball off the bat of Austin Riley on a 98.3-mph sinker. Hader remains one of the most dominant relievers in the game, and he has yet to be charged with a run this season while giving up only two hits in 13.1 innings with a 21:5 K:BB.
