Impact Zastryzny may require another appearance or two in the minors before the Brewers bring him back from the 15-day injured list. Before being deactivated July 26 due to left elbow tendinitis, Zastryzny made nine appearances for the Brewers and posted a 1.17 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB across 7.2 innings.

Trevor Megill - Ready to face hitters Megill (back) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Monday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Megill will head out on a rehab assignment if all goes well during Monday's throwing session. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list July 29 due to a lower-back strain and likely won't need more than one or two tune-up outings in the minors before rejoining the Milwaukee bullpen. Megill leads the Brewers with 20 saves on the season, but he'll likely have to settle for setup work moving forward after closer Devin Williams returned July 28 from a season-long stay on the IL.

Enoli Paredes - Shifts to 60-day IL The Brewers transferred Paredes (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Impact The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for southpaw DL Hall (knee), who was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Reds. Paredes was initially placed on the IL on July 3 with right forearm tendinitis and won't be eligible to rejoin the Milwaukee bullpen until early September.

Garrett Mitchell - Getting day off against lefty Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact After starting each of Milwaukee's last six games, the lefty-hitting Mitchell will head to the bench as Cincinnati sends southpaw Nick Lodolo to the mound. Blake Perkins will take Mitchell's spot in the outfield and will bat sixth.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Brice Turang - Idle against lefty Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact The lefty-hitting Turang will retreat to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Nick Lodolo takes the hill for Cincinnati. Jackson Chourio will assume leadoff duties Sunday, while Andruw Monasterio takes Turang's usual spot in the field at second base.

Jake Bauers - Out of lineup vs. lefty Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact With southpaw Nick Lodolo on the bump for Cincinnati, the lefty-hitting Bauers will stick on the bench for the second day in a row. Bauers' absence will free up a spot in the lineup for Gary Sanchez, who will serve as the Brewers' catcher while William Contreras gets a day off behind the plate and draws a start at designated hitter.

Hoby Milner - Lands on injured list The Brewers placed Milner on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Aug. 9, due to a left shoulder impingement.

Impact It's unclear when the injured surfaced for Milner, but he surrendered five runs over two frames in his last two outings. The left-hander will be eligible to be reinstated in late August, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Brewers' DL Hall feels encouraged after coming off IL to pitch in majors for 1st time since April

DL Hall - Activated, starting Sunday The Brewers reinstated Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, and he'll start in Milwaukee's series finale with Cincinnati.

Impact Milwaukee already has five healthy starters, so unless manager Pat Murphy plans to expand the rotation to six men, Hall could be headed to the bullpen following Sunday's outing, which will be his first with the big club since April 20. Before landing on the IL with as left knee sprain, Hall's spot in the rotation may have already been on thin ice, as he submitted a 7.71 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across 16.1 innings over his four starts with the big club this season. The left-hander displayed better form over the final three outings of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, logging a 2.77 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 13 innings. Hall topped out at five innings and 76 pitches during his rehab assignment, so he shouldn't be operating under any workload restrictions Sunday.

Rhys Hoskins - Secures win with homer Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 1-0 win against the Reds.

Impact The game was a pitcher's duel from start to finish, as the teams combined for just five hits, no walks and one run. Hoskins accounted for both the only extra-base hit and the only run of the matchup with his solo shot in the eighth inning. The long ball was his 20th of the campaign, an amount he's reached in each of his five full MLB campaigns. The slugger has gone deep five times over his past 13 contests.

Devin Williams - Notches first save of season Williams earned a save against the Reds on Saturday, striking out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact Williams was activated from the injured list Sunday and had to wait six days to get his first save chance. The right-hander's opportunity Saturday wasn't an easy one, as he faced the heart of Cincinnati's order with just a one-run lead. Williams wasn't phased by any pressure, as he struck out the side on 18 pitches. Trevor Megill was excellent as Milwaukee's closer during most of the time Williams was out and is approaching a return from a back injury, but he's going to slide back into a setup role upon his activation. Williams has already shown that he's back in fine form, allowing just one run over four innings while posting an 8:1 K:BB through four outings.

Devin Williams - Notches first save of season Williams earned a save against the Reds on Saturday, striking out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact Williams was activated from the injured list July 28 and had to wait nearly two weeks to get his first save chance. The right-hander's opportunity Saturday wasn't an easy one, as he faced the heart of Cincinnati's order with just a one-run lead. Williams wasn't phased by any pressure, as he struck out the side on 18 pitches.

Tobias Myers - Superb in no-decision Myers pitched 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out nine batters, in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Impact Myers and Reds starter Nick Martinez both shined in the outing -- neither gave up a run, and the hurlers combined to allow just four hits over 14.1 frames. Three of those hits were surrendered by Myers, but none went for extra bases, and he notched a season-high nine punchouts to Martinez's seven. Myers has now allowed just two runs over 16.1 frames across his past three starts, but he doesn't have a win to show for it. Nonetheless, he's more than solidified his spot in the rotation since returning from a short stint in the minors June 5. Across 11 starts since that date, the right-hander has posted a sparkling 1.75 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 67 frames.
