Alex Jackson - Returns to Triple-A Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Cubs.
Impact The 26-year-old served as Milwaukee's No. 2 catcher this week but will head back to the minors with Victor Caratini (undisclosed) back from the COVID-19 injured list. Jackson went 2-for-7 with four strikeouts during his brief stint in the majors.

Mike Brosseau - Optioned to Nashville Brosseau was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
Impact Brosseau served in the short side of a platoon at third base early in the year, and he hit .250 with a home run, four RBI and two runs over 15 games with Milwaukee. The 28-year-old will head to the minors since the Brewers need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday, and he should see more consistent at-bats in Nashville.

Aaron Ashby - Not starting vs. Reds Ashby isn't listed among Milwaukee's probable starters for the upcoming three-game series against Cincinnati, which begins Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ashby allowed one run over 5.2 innings Wednesday but will now shift back to the bullpen, likely since the Brewers have a scheduled off day Monday. The 23-year-old has started in two of five appearances thus far in 2022 and has a 2.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 19:13 K:BB across 17 innings. The young lefty is likely to keep bouncing between the rotation and bullpen as long as the rest of Milwaukee's starting pitchers remain healthy.

Victor Caratini - Back from COVID-19 IL Caratini (undisclosed) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact The 28-year-old landed on the COVID-19 IL on Tuesday and will rejoin the active roster after clearing MLB's testing protocols. Caratini should resume duties as the Brewers' No. 2 catcher behind Omar Narvaez and will likely see most of his starts against left-handed pitchers.

Jake Cousins - Out with elbow issue Cousins was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right elbow effusion, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Cousins pitched a scoreless inning Saturday against the Cubs and allowed a hit with three strikeouts and two walks, and he'll now be sidelined by an elbow issue. It's unclear how long the right-hander will be sidelined, though he'll be eligible to be activated from the injured list May 11.

Lorenzo Cain - Heads to bench Sunday Cain is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs.
Impact Cain started the past three games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Tyrone Taylor will start in center field, batting eighth.

Rowdy Tellez - Crushes fourth home run Tellez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a 9-1 victory against the Cubs on Saturday.
Impact Tellez singled home a run in the first inning and provided some insurance in the fifth with a two-run shot to center. The successful showing brought the 27-year-old out of a 3-for-23 slump that encompassed eight games and Tellez is now slashing .234/.300/.484 in 21 games this season with four doubles and four home runs.
MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hunter Renfroe - Three hits, homer Renfroe went 3-for-5 with a home run, three runs and two RBI during Saturday's 9-1 win against the Cubs.
Impact Renfroe singled home a run and scored in the first inning, singled and scored again in the fifth and tacked on a solo shot in the eighth off Chicago reliever Locke St. John. The 30-year-old has tormented Cubs pitching through two games this weekend, going a combined 5-for-9 with three home runs to wrap up a scorching conclusion to April. Renfroe is now slashing .253/.288/.507 through 20 games this season.
MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Yelich - Goes deep again Yelich went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 9-1 victory over the Cubs on Saturday.
Impact Yelich singled and scored as part of a three-run first inning, singled again in the second and launched a two-run shot in his final at-bat in the eighth. The 30-year-old now owns a modest four-game hitting streak and has homered in consecutive contests after slumping through much of April. It's a step in the right direction for the former MVP.
MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Lauer - Fans 11 more batters Lauer (2-0) got the win during Saturday's 9-1 victory over the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with 11 strikeouts in seven innings.
Impact Coming off a 13-strikeout performance on Sunday Night Baseball, Lauer put up nearly as many whiffs Saturday and got the win this time. Milwaukee jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and the 26-year-old faltered just once when he served up a Yan Gomes solo shot in the second inning. Lauer is among the leaders in both ERA and strikeouts, and it would appear Milwaukee has uncovered another gem.

Kolten Wong - Resting Saturday Wong will be on the bench Saturday against the Cubs.
Impact Wong sits for just the third time this season. Keston Hiura will get the start at second base.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Narváez - On bench Saturday Narvaez will sit Saturday against the Cubs,
Impact Narvaez has been in the lineup just once against a lefty this season, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench here against Justin Steele. Alex Jackson will get the start behind the plate.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willy Adames - Belts fifth homer Adames went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact The Brewers smacked 10 extra-base hits including six homers on the night, with Adames providing more than his share of the slugging. The shortstop is only batting .225 through 21 games, but he's delivering his expected power numbers with five home runs and 14 RBI.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Yelich - Clubs second homer Yelich went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Friday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs.
Impact The 30-year-old got in on a six-homer barrage by Milwaukee, taking Kyle Hendricks deep in the fifth inning. Yelich continues to struggle to regain his MVP form, and through 20 games he's slashing .203/.305/.348 with two home runs, two steals, 10 runs and 10 RBI.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew McCutchen - Swats second homer McCutchen went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact He launched his second homer of the season -- and second in as many games -- in the third inning off Kyle Hendricks, one of six Milwaukee long balls on the night. McCutchen hasn't been able to really get hot yet for the Brewers, but he's consistently hitting cleanup against RHP and leadoff against LHP, and his mediocre .247/.302/.377 slash line has still led to three steals, seven runs and 10 RBI.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jace Peterson - Pops first homer of 2022 Peterson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs.
Impact He took Kyle Hendricks deep in the second inning, kicking off a six-homer barrage by the Brewers. The long ball was Peterson's first of the year, and while he's been seeing plenty of playing time while Luis Urias (quadriceps) has been sidelined, he hasn't done much with the opportunity, slashing .171/.277/.244 in 47 plate appearances.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hunter Renfroe - Blasts two homers Friday Renfroe went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs.
Impact A fifth-inning solo shot off Daniel Norris and a two-run blast in the seventh off Sean Newcomb allowed Renfroe to lead the charge in a six-homer barrage by the Brewers. After a quiet start to his Milwaukee tenure, Renfroe is batting .273 over his last nine games with all four of his home runs on the season.
