For the season, the 32-year-old has a .249/.313/.468 slash line with 28 home runs, 85 RBI, 73 runs scored and a stolen base across 576 plate appearances.

Jake Cousins - Out with biceps strain Cousins landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right biceps Saturday.

Miguel Sanchez was recalled to take his spot in the bullpen.

Eric Lauer - Quiets Mets in win Friday Lauer (7-5) allowed one run on three hits while walking two and striking out nine as he got the win over the Mets on Friday.

Impact Lauer continued his streak of dominance with his third win over his last four starts. The 26-year-old has allowed one run or less in each of his five starts in September and recorded a season-high nine strikeouts Friday. The Mets got to him in the opening frame after Brandon Nimmo tripled to lead off the game and Francisco Lindor grounded out to the shortstop to bring him home. Lauer has definitely solidified himself as the Brewers' No. 4 pitcher heading into the postseason, but first is projected for a showdown against the Dodgers next week. He'll carry a 2.93 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 114:39 K:BB into his next start.

Willy Adames - Goes deep Friday Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Adames went back-to-back with Christian Yelich in the third inning for his only hit of the night. It was his first home run since returning from the injured list Sept. 20 and his 23rd of the year. Milwaukee got a bargain with the 25-year-old shortstop when it traded for him in May, as he's slashing .290/.369/.524 with 23 home runs, 69 RBI, 69 runs scored, five steals and 53:148 BB:K over 524 plate appearances.

Kolten Wong - Homers, steals base in win Wong went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Wong put up a strong showing Friday after homering his first time up in the first and then walking to lead off the third and the seventh. It was just his second game with a home run this month and his first time drawing multiple walks since Aug. 12. Wong has fared particularly well in his new threads this season. The former Cardinal is slashing .274/.335/.453 with 14 long balls, 49 RBI, 67 runs scored, 11 steals and 28:78 BB:K over 468 plate appearances.

Christian Yelich - Homers Friday Yelich went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a triple, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Yelich went back-to-back with Willy Adames in the third to give the Brewers a 4-1 lead, as he ended an 0-for-12 drought with the home run. The 2018 National League MVP also roped a triple to left, which was his second three-bagger of the season. It's unclear if Yelich is still feeling some of the effects of COVID or the back injury he was dealing with earlier this season, but his numbers at the plate are down this year. He's slashing .245/.358/.377 with nine homers, 49 RBI, 67 runs, eight steals scored and 65:111 BB:K over 450 plate appearances.
