Eric Lauer - Strong outing in no-decision Lauer didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs after allowing one run on 5.1 innings, giving up one hit and three walks while fanning six.

Impact Lauer has been pitching at a high level of late, allowing one or fewer runs in each of his previous four starts while also posting two quality starts in that stretch. He has gone 2-0 with a blistering 1.09 ERA in September and seems to be gearing up for a strong end of the regular season.

Brett Anderson - Expected back Wednesday Anderson (shoulder) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday to start the third game of the Brewers' home series with the Cardinals, Will Sammon of The Athletic...

Impact Milwaukee has yet to confirm that Anderson will take the hill that day to make his first start since Sept. 1, but the southpaw looks to be tracking toward a return after completing a bullpen session earlier in the weekend. Because he hasn't completed a simulated game or minor-league rehab outing, Anderson could be in store for a lighter workload than usual if he rejoins the rotation Wednesday. Before landing on the shelf with a bruised left shoulder, Anderson compiled a 4-8 record, 4.18 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 21 starts.

Lorenzo Cain - Not starting Sunday Cain (hip) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Cain injured his hip while crashing into the wall Saturday and later exited the game. He should still be considered day-to-day, and it's unclear whether he's available off the bench Sunday. Jackie Bradley is starting in center field and batting eighth.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Avisaíl García - Still out Sunday Garcia (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Garcia hasn't played since Tuesday, so his not being on the injured list suggests the Brewers expect him back shortly. The outfielder hit .259 in eight games at the start of September before these back spasms sidelined him. Jace Peterson is starting in right field and batting sixth Sunday.

Manny Piña - Launches two homers Pina went 2-for-3 with two home runs and a walk in Saturday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Pina has three home runs over his last four games and now has 12 on the year, in what has been a career-best season for the backstop in terms of power. He doesn't provide much else to the table as he's only hitting .201 through 67 games -- though with a .771 OPS thanks to a career-best .459 slugging percentage. He's been a steady source for power numbers all year long.

Pablo Reyes - Scores on highlight-reel play Reyes went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.

Impact Reyes started Saturday for just the second time all month, but he made the most of the opportunity, tallying his sixth extra-base hit and third steal of the season while also generating a highlight with a Houdini-like slide into home that gave the Brewers a two-run lead in the eighth inning. With the Brewers clinching a playoff spot, Reyes could get more starts down the stretch to help keep the regulars fresh.

Josh Hader - Extends save streak Hader struck out two to record the save Saturday against the Cubs, allowing one hit and walking one.

Impact Hader has been one of the best relievers in the National League this season and hasn't blown a save opportunity since July 7. Plus, he's yet to allow a run since the beginning of August and has tossed 16 straight scoreless outings. The left-hander has gone 33-for-34 in save chances this year while posting a career-best 1.34 ERA in 2021.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Corbin Burnes - Fans 11 in no-decision Burnes didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Cubs after allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while fanning 11 across six innings.

Impact Burnes delivered a second straight quality start, and he looked absolutely filthy once again -- he has 25 strikeouts and just four walks over his previous two appearances. The right-hander has also posted six quality starts over eight outings since the beginning of August, delivering a 2.08 ERA with a 11.9 K/9 across 52 innings in that span.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Devin Williams - Picks up eighth win Williams fired a scoreless eighth inning and picked up his eighth win of the season Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Williams issued his fifth walk in five appearances Saturday, but he also struck out the side for the ninth time this season and wound up with the win when Manny Pina hit a go-ahead homer in the home half of the eighth. Williams was tagged for four earned runs by the Giants in his first September outing, but those are the only runs he has allowed in 26 appearances since June 23.

Lorenzo Cain - Exits with hip issue Cain was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs with right hip discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cain suffered the injury during the second inning when he collided with the outfield wall while making a leaping catch, though he remained in the contest for a couple more innings. The veteran outfielder went 0-for-1 with a walk before being lifted, and he should be considered day-to-day until more is known about the injury.
