MILWAUKEE BREWERS NEWS

Tyrone Taylor - Tallies two RBI Taylor went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals.

Impact Taylor went just 2-for-18 over his first six games of the season, but he matched the hit total in Sunday's game alone and also knocked in his first two runs of the season. Taylor does not occupy a starting spot on the Brewers' depth chart, but he has seen ample action early, starting six of the 10 games the Brewers have played to date.

Jandel Gustave - Gets first hold Gustave tossed a scoreless sixth inning and picked up his first hold of the season in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals.

Impact Gustave was hit hard in his first appearance of the season, but he has been sharp since, allowing just one earned run and only two runners to reach base in 3.2 innings over his last three appearances. He figures to continue working in the middle innings out of the Brewers' bullpen.

Jake Cousins - Picks up win in relief Cousins (2-0) earned the win in relief Sunday against St. Louis after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and fanning one.

Impact Cousins bounced back from Saturday's outing in which he allowed one run and two hits over one inning against St. Louis, and now he clinched his second win of the season. He's looked effective so far and has posted three scoreless outings over his last four relief appearances while pitching to a 3.60 ERA over 5.0 innings to date.

Josh Hader - Notches fourth save of season Hader clinched the save Sunday against the Cardinals after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, striking out two.

Impact The star reliever delivered a clean inning to record the 100th save of his career. Hader has been outstanding to begin the year, going 4-for-4 in save chances while striking out 40 percent of the batters he's faced. He owns a 3.0 K/BB and should remain one of the most dominant relievers in the National League as long as he remains healthy.

Aaron Ashby - No-decision against STL Ashby allowed three runs (none earned) on two hits and four walks while fanning four across four innings Sunday against the Cardinals. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Ashby worked out of the bullpen in his first two appearances of the season but handled a starter-like workload in his previous outing, so it wasn't an issue to see him toss 74 pitches through four frames in this one. It remains to be seen if he'll stick in the rotation or if he'll return to the bullpen moving forward, though it wouldn't be a surprise if he alternates between both roles. After all, Milwaukee used a six-man rotation for prolonged stretches last season.

Brent Suter - Makes relief appearance Suter (undisclosed) came on in relief during Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals, working around a hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Impact After suffering a scare in Friday's 10-1 loss when he collided with the dugout railing, Suter was available out of the bullpen a day later. His clean relief appearance Saturday suggests that Suter avoided any injury as a result of Friday's incident.

Lorenzo Cain - Sitting Sunday Cain is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Cain will take a seat for the second time in the series, allowing Tyrone Taylor to pick up another turn in center field. The 36-year-old is one of several Milwaukee regulars who has gotten off to a slow start to begin the 2022 campaign; he's gone 3-for-19 while appearing in six of the Brewers' first nine contests.

Hunter Renfroe - Receives Sunday off Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Renfroe will hit the bench for the first time this season after going 7-for-33 (.212 average) with two doubles, three walks, two RBI and a run while starting in each of Milwaukee's first nine games. With Renfroe riding pine, Andrew McCutchen will patrol right field, while Keston Hiura handles McCutchen's usual role as the Brewers' designated hitter.

Victor Caratini - Swats first homer Caratini went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

Impact Caratini provided all of Milwaukee's offense with his solo shot in the eighth inning. It was the first long ball for the backstop as a Brewer after he hit seven homers for the Padres last season. Caratini is slashing .308/.400/.615 on the campaign, and he has split time behind the plate with Omar Narvaez thus far.

Adrian Houser - Takes tough-luck loss Houser (0-2) took the loss against St. Louis on Saturday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing one run one four hits and three walks while striking out four.

Impact Despite some control issues -- he threw only 54 of 97 pitches for strikes -- Houser allowed only a fourth-inning run in the outing. He was lifted in the sixth with the Brewers trailing 1-0, and Milwaukee's offense was never able to catch up and take him off the hook for the loss. Houser holds a 2.89 ERA through two starts, but he is 0-2 and his peripherals -- including a 7:6 K:BB over 9.1 frames -- are less promising. He'll likely make his next start in Philadelphia next weekend.

Brent Suter - Feeling fine Saturday Suter (undisclosed) said Saturday that he's feeling fine after exiting Friday's game against the Cardinals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Suter exited Friday's matchup after colliding with the dugout railing, but he was making a case to remain in the game after the incident. While the exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss much time.
