Willy Adames - Out of Monday's lineup Adames (quadriceps) is not in the lineup Monday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Renato Núñez - Signs minors deal with Milwaukee Nunez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Monday.

Impact Nunez owns a respectable 101 wRC+ in 307 major-league games, the product of a .245/.308/.452 slash line. He could potentially be useful as a bench bat for the Brewers down the stretch, but he'll head to Triple-A Nashville for now.

Hedbert Perez - Promoted to Low-A The Brewers promoted Perez to Low-A Carolina on Monday.

Impact Perez's power seems to be ahead of schedule, as he hit six home runs with a .242 ISO and .575 SLG in 32 games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. His hit tool will be tested against full-season pitching, however, as he was pretty aggressive in the ACL, logging a 25.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.1 percent walk rate. Perez will be one of the youngest players at Low-A, so expectations should be tempered over the final weeks of the season.

Brett Anderson - On track to start Wednesday Anderson (hip) is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Anderson won't have to miss a turn through the rotation after he was pulled after four innings in his most recent start Aug. 26 against the Reds due to right hip tightness. The southpaw will presumably throw a bullpen session Monday before the Brewers formally clear him to make the start, but fantasy managers in NL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues planning on deploying Anderson this week can probably feel comfortable about his status for Wednesday's contest.
