Tyrone Taylor - Swats grand slam, homer Taylor went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Taylor accounted for all of Milwaukee's runs Thursday, delivering a grand slam in the first inning and a solo shot in the fourth, both against Adam Wainwright. The hits were his first since being activated from the injured list Tuesday following a month-long absence due to an oblique injury. Across 85 games this season, Taylor is batting .247/.322/.475 with 12 long balls.

Adrian Houser - Settles for no-decision Houser allowed one run on five hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across six innings during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Aside from an RBI single by Yadier Molina in the fifth inning, Houser pieced together a solid outing to earn himself a quality start. It was a nice bounce-back performance after getting tagged for five runs (four earned) across four innings versus the Cubs last time out. The 28-year-old has compiled a sturdy 3.34 ERA and 1.29 WHIP overall this season.

Devin Williams - Managing calf injury Williams has been unavailable recently due to a calf injury, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact Williams hasn't pitched since Sept. 18, and manager Craig Counsell revealed after Thursday's loss to the Cardinals that the right-hander recently sustained a calf injury while running in the outfield. The team is hopeful that the 27-year-old will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return.

Omar Narváez - Heads to bench Narvaez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Narvaez's off days typically come against lefties, but he'll sit here against righty Adam Wainwright. Manny Pina takes over behind the plate.

Daniel Vogelbach - Still not starting Vogelbach remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Vogelbach has taken on a bench role recently and is out of the lineup for a fourth straight game. He's appeared as a pinch hitter in each of the last two contests and earned a walk in both plate appearances. Eduardo Escobar will shift to first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner Thursday.

Avisaíl García - Not in Thursday's lineup Garcia isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Kolten Wong - Starting Thursday Wong (hamstring) is starting Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Wong went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's loss to St. Louis but was removed from the game as a precautionary measure due to hamstring tightness. However, he'll start at second base and lead off in Thursday's series finale.

Avisaíl García - May elect free agency Garcia's club optioned converted to a mutual option after he reached a plate-appearance threshold Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact The Brewers formerly held a $12 million club option for Garcia for next season, but that turned into a mutual option after Garcia reached 1,050 plate appearances over the last two seasons, with last year's total of 207 being prorated to 559 due to the shortened schedule. Garcia is hitting .270/.337/.506 with 29 homers this season, so there's a good chance he can earn more than $12 million on the open market.

Avisaíl García - Homers in loss Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Garcia took Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas deep in the seventh inning to pull a run back for Milwaukee in its blowout loss to St. Louis on Wednesday night. In the process, the 30-year-old pushed his hit streak to six games. The outfielder obliterated his career high in home runs this season while also setting a new benchmark in RBI. He'll look to finish strong in preparation for the Brewers' playoff run.

Kolten Wong - Managing tight hamstring Wong was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals with hamstring tightness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wong went 0-for-3 before being pulled during the seventh inning with the Brewers facing a 7-1 deficit, and manager Craig Counsell indicated the team was being "careful" with the injury. The 30-year-old could be held out of the lineup Thursday if the injury lingers, as Milwaukee should look to keep the second baseman healthy ahead of the playoffs.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Brett Anderson - Struggles in return Anderson (4-9) allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk through 1.2 innings, taking the loss in Wednesday's 10-2 defeat to the Cardinals. He did not record a strikeout.
Impact In his first start since suffering a left shoulder contusion on Sept. 1 against the Giants, it was Anderson's ego that was bruised Wednesday night. Although the left-hander only had two earned runs charged to his name, six Cardinals crossed home under his watch. The big blow came from Tyler O'Neill, who smacked a two-run shot off Anderson in the first. While the 33-year-old has been a serviceable pitcher for the Brewers this season, the lack of strikeouts in his game (four or fewer in 21 of 22 starts) render him a tough play in most fantasy formats.
