Lorenzo Cain - On bench against lefty again Cain is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The Brewers will face a left-handed starting pitcher (Bruce Zimmermann) for the second time in their first four games, with Cain having now sat on both occasions. Though Cain bats from the right side, manager Craig Counsell may prefer to have the righty-hitting Tyrone Taylor pick up starts out of center field when the platoon advantage is in his favor. Taylor also started in place of Cain in Saturday's 9-0 loss to the Cubs, going 0-for-3 with a walk.

Jace Peterson - Out against lefty Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact With southpaw Bruce Zimmermann on the bump for Baltimore, the lefty-hitting Peterson will head to the bench for the second time in the Brewers' first four games. Mike Brosseau will fill in for Peterson at third base, and the two will likely work in a platoon at the hot corner until Luis Urias (quadriceps) is ready to return from the injured list.

Rowdy Tellez - Sitting against lefty Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat for the second time in the Brewers' first four games while the Orioles bring a southpaw (Bruce Zimmermann) to the hill. Keston Hiura will once again fill in for Tellez at first base in what could prove to be a platoon arrangement between the two players.

Omar Narváez - Sitting versus lefty Narvaez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The lefty-hitting Narvaez will be on the bench for the second time in the Brewers' first four games, with both of his absences from the lineup coming against left-handed starting pitchers. The Brewers haven't formally announced that Narvaez will occupy the large side of a platoon at catcher with the switch-hitting Victor Caratini, but even when he picks up starts against southpaws, Narvaez will likely slot near the bottom of the order.

Mike Brosseau - Homers in victory Brosseau went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Brosseau came off the bench Sunday after starting in Saturday's loss, but he hit his first home run of the season as a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning to help lead the Brewers to their first win of the season. Brosseau should continue to serve in the short side of a platoon at third base while Luis Urias (quadriceps) is sidelined, and he'll likely see even less playing time once the right-handed Urias is cleared to return.

Rowdy Tellez - Swats two-run homer in win Tellez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Tellez had a day off Saturday with a left-hander on the mound for the Cubs, but he hit a go-ahead home run in the top of the sixth inning Sunday as the Brewers picked up their first win of the season. The 27-year-old performed well after being traded to Milwaukee last year, and he's gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, a walk and two strikeouts across his first two appearances in 2022.

Willy Adames - Crosses plate twice Sunday Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs, a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Adames has recorded hits in each of the first three games in the 2022 season, and he put the Brewers on the board with his solo shot in the top of the third inning during Sunday's series finale. During his three-game hitting streak to open the year, he's gone 4-for-12 with a homer, a double, two runs, two RBI, a walk and five strikeouts.

Josh Hader - Converts save in 2022 debut Hader struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Hader wasn't needed in the first two games of the season since the Brewers dropped each matchup, but he was sharp in his 2022 debut. He gave up a deep flyout to Yan Gomes with one out, but he struck out each of the other two batters he faced while throwing eight of his 14 pitches for strikes. The southpaw converted 34 of 35 save chances last year and enters the 2022 season as one of the best closing options in baseball.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brad Boxberger - Earns win Sunday Boxberger (1-0) gave up a hit and no walks while striking out one in a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Impact Boxberger made a career-high 71 relief appearances during his first year with the Brewers in 2021, and he began the 2022 season on a high note by picking up a win in his first outing. Josh Hader is firmly entrenched as Milwaukee's closer, but Boxberger picked up 23 holds last year while converting four of nine save chances. He'll continue to serve as a setup man alongside Devin Williams in 2022.

Freddy Peralta - Strikes out six in 2022 debut Peralta allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out six in four innings during Sunday's win over the Cubs. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Peralta struggled with command during his season debut, as he threw just 46 of his 88 pitches for strikes. He gave up a three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning but escaped a jam in the bottom of the second before retiring six of the final seven batters he faced. The right-hander had a career-best year in 2021, posting a 2.81 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 144.1 innings during 28 appearances (27 starts). He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Cardinals on Friday.

Brandon Woodruff - Crushed by Cubs Woodruff (0-1) gave up six runs on seven hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out two in 3.2 innings in a 9-0 loss Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Woodruff needed 40 pitches to get through the three-run first and continued to struggle throughout his outing. It was death by a thousand cuts for the former All-Star, as the Cubs only had one extra-base hit and 11 of the 22 batters reached safely. Following a spring where he allowed six home runs in 11.2 innings, Saturday's starts certainly raised some eyebrows. That said, the 29-year-old has been one of the best starters in baseball the last three seasons with a combined 3.00 ERA over 65 starts during that span. His next start should be late next week against St. Louis.
