Milwaukee Brewers Transactions

Saturday, January 14

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers and infielder Keston Hiura avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.2 million deal. Hiura was once one of the Brew Crew's better infield prospects, but the 26-year-old just hasn't been able to put much together after his rookie season in 2019 when he hit .303 and clubbed 19 home runs in 84 games. In 2022, he slashed .226/.316/.449 with a .765 OPS, 14 home runs, 32 RBI, 34 runs scored and five stolen bases in 266 plate appearances over 80 games. He struck out over 40 percent of the time and should open the 2023 campaign as a bench bat with pop for Milwaukee, leaving him little fantasy value outside of NL-only leagues.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers and starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $10.8 million deal on Friday, according to a source. Woodruff continues to be one of the better pitchers in baseball after going 13-4 with a 3.05 ERA (3.08 FIP), 1.07 WHIP and 30.7 percent strikeout rate in 27 starts over 153 1/3 innings pitched last season. Injuries are a concern for the 29-year-old right-hander -- he's never topped 179 1/3 innings in his six major-league seasons -- but aside from those concerns, he's been very solid for fantasy managers. Woodruff has never had an ERA above 5.00 in any of his seasons and has only been over a 4.00 ERA once, in his rookie season in 2017.

Monday, January 09

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent infielder Josh VanMeter to a minor-league deal with an invitation to major-league spring training on Monday. VanMeter will join the Brew Crew after hitting just .187/.266/.292 with a .558 OPS, three home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and four stolen bases in 192 plate appearances and 67 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2022. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter will compete for a roster spot in spring training as bench depth. In his four major-league seasons, VanMeter has hit .206/.293/.347 with 19 home runs, 79 RBI, 83 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 300 games, so there isn't much offensive upside to speak of.

Wednesday, January 04

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-hander Bryse Wilson from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. In a corresponding move, the Brewers designated pitcher Trevor Kelley for assignment. Wilson had a tough year in 2022 in his first full year in Pittsburgh, going 3-9 with a 5.52 ERA (5.06 FIP), 1.42 WHIP and 15.5 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 115 2/3 innings over 25 appearances (20 starts) for the Bucs. It spurred the team to designate him for assignment last week, but Wilson quickly lands on his feet in Milwaukee. He'll be hoping his strong finish to the year will vault him to a good showing in spring training with his new squad, but at best, Wilson will likely be a spot starter/long reliever for the Brew Crew.
		The Milwaukee Brewers agreed with free-agent left-hander Wade Miley on a one-year, $4.5 million contract on Wednesday, according to a source. Miley will have a chance to make $6 million through incentives. He'll be returning to the Brew Crew after spending the 2018 season with them, when he had a career-low 2.57 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 80 2/3 innings covering 16 starts. Due to injuries, the 36-year-old southpaw only appeared in nine games (eight starts) for the Chicago Cubs in 2022, going 2-2 with a 3.16 ERA (3.95 FIP), 1.22 WHIP and 17.6 percent strikeout rate. With better health, he could work at the back end of Milwaukee's starting rotation as an innings-eater or in a long-relief role, but either way, he'll have limited fantasy upside as he nears the end of his career.

Tuesday, January 03

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers have reportedly signed relief pitcher Alex Claudio to a minor-league deal, per a tweet from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Todd Rosiak on Tuesday. Claudio has pitched to a 3.60 ERA and a 3.79 FIP in 347 2/3 career innings at the major-league level. He appeared in three games for the New York Mets during the 2022 season, allowing a hit and two walks in 3 1/3 innings of work while striking out a pair of batters. The veteran will provide the Brewers with some additional bullpen depth heading into next season.

Saturday, December 17

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers signed left-hander Thomas Pannone to a minor-league deal on Friday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. Pannone last pitched in Korea and posted a 2.72 ERA in 14 starts for the Kia Tigers in 2022. In two major-league seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018 and 2019, Pannone had a 5.43 ERA (5.14 FIP), a 1.34 WHIP, 98 strikeouts and 46 walks in 116 innings pitched over 49 appearances (13 starts). He's also had a bloated 5.61 ERA in four years at the Triple-A level, so it's an understatement to say that he has yet to pitch well in the big leagues. The 28-year-old southpaw will serve as pitching depth for the Brew Crew in 2023 and will likely start in the minor leagues.

Wednesday, December 14

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers acquired infielder Owen Miller from the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Brewers designated catcher Mario Feliciano for assignment. Miller played in 130 games for Cleveland in his second major-league season in 2022 and slashed .243/.301/.351 with six home runs, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored and two stolen bases in 472 plate appearances. The 26-year-old can play almost any position on the infield, appearing at first, second and third for the Guardians last season, so he'll give Milwaukee plenty of infield flexibility heading into the 2023 season. Most of his playing time could come at the keystone after the Brewers traded Kolten Wong to Seattle this offseason.

Tuesday, December 13

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers acquired catcher William Contreras on Monday as part of a three-way trade that also involved the Atlanta Braves and Oakland Athletics, according to sources. The Brewers also acquired Joel Payamps and Justin Yeager in the three-way swap that sent Sean Murphy to the Braves and Manny Pina and Esteury Ruiz to the A's. Contreras became expendable for the Braves after they upgraded with Murphy, so he'll move to Milwaukee after making the All-Star for the first time in his career by slashing .278/.354/.506 with an .860 OPS, 20 home runs, 45 RBI, 51 runs scored and two steals in 376 plate appearances and 97 games. The 24-year-old figures to play every day for the Brew Crew at catcher and/or designated hitter.

Saturday, December 03

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers signed infielder Eddy Alvarez to a minor-league deal on Saturday that includes an invite to major-league spring training next year. Alvarez medaled in the 2014 Olympics for the United States as a short-track speed skater and in baseball in the 2020 Olympics for Team USA. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting infielder played in 14 games with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022, going 4-for-25 (.160) with no homers, three RBI, a run scored, three RBI and nine strikeouts in his 27 plate appearances. He'll give the Brewers some infield versatility as minor-league depth in 2023. Alvarez has hit .183/.262/.262 with a homer, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and four stolen bases in 50 major-league games in three seasons.

Friday, December 02

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers acquired outfielder Jesse Winker and third baseman Abraham Toro from the Seattle Mariners on Friday in exchange for second baseman Kolten Wong, according to sources. Winker will help replace Hunter Renfroe, who was shipped to the Los Angeles Angels recently. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger ended his season early in 2022 and needed knee and neck surgeries. He struggled after being a first-time All-Star in 2021 with the Cincinnati Reds, slashing .219/.344/.688 with 14 home runs, 53 RBI and 51 runs scored in 136 games for the M's. With better health and in a hitter-friendly environment, Winker could bounce back in his new digs. Toro also struggled offensively by hitting .185/.239/.324 with 10 home runs and 35 RBI in a career-high 109 games in Seattle. He could be competing with youngster Brice Turang for a starting job in Milwaukee in 2023.

Thursday, December 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers and infielder Mike Brosseau avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to an undisclosed one-year deal. In his first year with Milwaukee in 2022, Brosseau hit .255/.344/.418 with a career-high-tying six home runs, 23 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases in 160 plate appearances over 69 games. The 28-year-old can play second, third and first base as a utility infielder for Milwaukee. He's likely to see most of his playing time once again in 2023 as a right-handed utility bat against left-handed pitching. In his four years in the big leagues, he has a slash line of .248/.320/.432 with 22 homers, 69 RBI, 65 runs scored and seven steals in 212 games. His first three years were all with the Tampa Bay Rays.

Tuesday, November 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers exercised second baseman Kolten Wong's $10 million option for the 2023 season on Tuesday. Wong will return as the team's everyday second baseman next season after posting a 114 OPS+ over the last two seasons with Milwaukee despite uncharacteristic struggles on defense. The 32-year-old left-handed hitter slashed .251/.339/.430 with 15 home runs, 47 RBI, 65 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 497 plate appearances and 134 games in his second year with the Brew Crew after he hit .272 with 14 long balls, 50 RBI and 12 steals in 116 games in 2021. It will be interesting if he can continue to keep his offensive roll going in 2023, but he should at least enter next year as Milwaukee's starter at the keystone.

Tuesday, October 25

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers re-signed right-handed reliever Lucas Erceg to a minor league contract on Tuesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training next year. The 27-year-old former infielder is coming off his first full season as a pitcher. In two stops with Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Nashville, Erceg had a 4.55 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 69 strikeouts and 37 walks in 61 1/3 innings pitched over 49 outings (four starts) in the minors. It's still young in Erceg's pitching career, but he'll have a shot to open the 2023 regular season in Milwaukee's bullpen if he impresses in spring training. He had a 3.43 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 42 K's in 39 1/3 frames at Nashville.

Wednesday, September 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (groin) exited Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Cardinals in the fourth inning with a strained right groin and will be headed to the injured list, per manager Craig Counsell. Houser took the loss, allowing three runs on two hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings. A disappointing regular season will end on a down note for the 29-year-old, who went 6-10 with a 4.73 ERA6.05 K/9 rate, and 4.12 BB/9 rate over 21 starts.

Sunday, September 25

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Luis Perdomo (calf) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sept. 24, with a right calf strain. This move clears up a roster spot for the Brewers to activate starter Freddy Peralta (shoulder), who is starting on Sunday vs. the Cincinnati Reds. The 29-year-old Perdomo has a 3.80 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 23 2/3 innings of relief this season.

Saturday, September 24

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (shoulder) will return to the team on Sunday and start against the Cincinnati Reds. The 26-year-old hurler has been out since September 8 with right shoulder inflammation so he will be on a strict pitch count, according to manager Craig Counsell. Shoulder injuries have limited Peralta to just 15 starts on the season but he's been pretty reliable whenever he takes the mound. He owns a 4-3 record, 3.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 76:25 K/BB ratio over 70 1/3 innings.

Thursday, September 22

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that right-hander Freddy Peralta (shoulder) could return from the injured list to rejoin the starting rotation this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds. Peralta is currently listed as TBA for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has been out since Sept. 8 when he began experiencing fatigue in his right shoulder. But it sounds like he's nearing a return to the Brewers' rotation, and he can help fantasy managers down the stretch. Before his injury, Peralta was 4-3 with a 3.45 ERA (3.07 FIP), a 1.02 WHIP and a 76:25 K:BB in 70 1/3 innings over his 15 starts for the Brew Crew. The Reds would also be a nice return matchup, although it's unclear if Peralta would be on a limited pitch count in his first start back.

Tuesday, September 20

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer (elbow) is trending towards coming off the injured list to start on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds on the first day he's eligible to return. Lauer is throwing his second bullpen session on Tuesday, and barring a setback, it looks like he'll return to Milwaukee's rotation to begin a weekend series against Cincinnati. The 27-year-old southpaw last started on Sept. 7, when he surrendered seven earned runs on six hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out four in just 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Without going on a minor league rehab assignment, Lauer will be a bit risky as a fantasy option, even against the lowly Reds. In 26 starts in 2022, he's gone 10-7 with a 3.91 ERA (4.74 FIP), a 1.25 WHIP, 138 K's and 52 walks in 145 innings pitched.

Monday, September 19

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby (shoulder) will come off the 15-day injured list to start a bullpen game on Tuesday against the New York Mets, according to skipper Craig Counsell. Ashby has been out since late August with left shoulder inflammation, but he'll return to the team for the final few weeks of the regular season as the Brew Crew try to earn the last wild-card spot in the National League. The 24-year-old southpaw is expected to pitch mostly in a relief role for Milwaukee the rest of the way, which makes him unattractive in fantasy. In 23 appearances (17 starts) for the Brewers in 2022, Ashby has gone 2-10 with a 4.58 ERA (4.05 FIP), a 1.43 WHIP, 116 strikeouts and 43 walks over 96 1/3 frames.
		Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta (shoulder) threw off a mound on Monday in a significant step in his recovery. Peralta was able to throw off flat ground on Saturday, so this is another step as he tries to return to Milwaukee's starting rotation to close out the year. The 26-year-old has been on the injured list for over a week with right shoulder fatigue, but he's clearly making progress. The Brewers expect Peralta to make it back before the end of the regular season, barring a setback. However, even if he does, time is running out for him to make an impact for fantasy managers. Peralta is 4-3 on the year with a 3.45 ERA (3.06 FIP), a 1.02 WHIP and a 76:25 K:BB over 70 1/3 innings and 15 starts.

Sunday, September 11

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Aaron Ashby (shoulder) will throw off a mound Sunday or Monday but is not being stretched out to start. He was placed on the injured list on August 22 with left shoulder inflammation. The Brewers are looking to add him to the roster soon, and the shift to relief allows for a quicker return to the staff. He owns a 4.58 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and a 116:43 K: BB across 96 1/3 innings in 2022. With the decision to shift Ashby to the bullpen, he mainly becomes a stash in dynasty leagues and loses most of his fantasy appeal in 2022.
		The Milwaukee Brewers placed Eric Lauer (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. He underwent an MRI Thursday, which revealed "encouraging" results. The 27-year-old will miss at least the next two weeks and is eligible to return on September 23. He owns a 10-7 record with a 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 138 strikeouts across 145 innings in 2022. Milwaukee recalled Trevor Kelley recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers with an IL spot should continue to stash Lauer.

Friday, September 09

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (shoulder) left his start early in the third inning on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants with right shoulder fatigue, according to the team. In his two innings before departing, Peralta didn't allow a run or a hit while walking two and striking out three. Given the fact that he already missed 10 weeks of the season with a right shoulder strain, there's a pretty good chance we won't see him again in 2022. Heading into Thursday's outing, the 26-year-old Dominican had gone 4-3 with a 3.56 ERA (3.07 FIP), a 1.02 WHIP, 73 strikeouts and 23 walks in 68 1/3 innings over 14 starts. Check back for more updates on Peralta's timetable, but fantasy managers should make plans for the worst-case scenario.
		Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell stated after Thursday's doubleheader that starting pitcher Freddy Peralta will be placed on the injured list after he left his start early with shoulder fatigue. Counsell mentioned that he had no new symptoms, but the fatigue was a continuation of what he's experienced in his recent outings. This trip to the IL could put a nail in the coffin of Peralta's 2022 campaign where he's tossed just 70 1/3 IP to a 3.45 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. An official move will be made on Friday, so managers who need the roster space down the stretch run can afford to cut ties with the 26-year-old.
		Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer (elbow) received some good news after undergoing an MRI on his strained left elbow on Thursday. Lauer left his Wednesday start early, but said the early read was "encouraging" and that he'll undergo more tests on Friday after having another meeting with his doctor. It's still to be determined if the positive attitude means he'll avoid a long-term injury or just avoid an IL stint, but we should get more clarity of his situation on Friday or Saturday after more scans are completed. Lauer has pitched to a serviceable 3.91 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 10 wins and 138 K through 145 IP, and would be a tough loss to the rotation with teammate Freddy Peralta heading back to the IL.

Thursday, September 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers optioned outfielder Esteury Ruiz to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday and reinstated infielder Mike Brosseau (oblique) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Ruiz has gone hitless in eight at-bats with two runs scored over three games after Milwaukee called up him at the start of September when rosters expanded. The 23-year-old rookie struggled in 14 games with the San Diego Padres earlier this year, too, before he was sent to the Brewers at the trade deadline, going 6-for-27 (.222) with two RBI, one steal and a run scored. In 99 minor league games in 2022, though, he's slashed .332/.450/.523 with a .973 OPS, 13 homers, 51 RBI, 100 runs scored and 70 stolen bases. The team's No. 8 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, should only be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Wednesday, September 07

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies with general knee soreness. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before exiting in the sixth inning in Tuesday's loss. The 31-year-old is considered day-to-day. He has been solid this season, slashing .247/.333/.418 with 11 home runs, 37 RBI, 56 runs and 11 stolen bases across 420 plate appearances in 112 games. Wong is expected to be out of the lineup Wednesday, with Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland scheduled to pitch. Jace Peterson would see an uptick in playing time if Wong is forced to miss any further games.
		Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer (elbow) left his start early on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies with left elbow tightness, according to the team. It was a rough day for Lauer, as he coughed up seven runs on six hits while striking out four in 2 2/3 innings before departing with his injury. The 27-year-old was probably hindered by his arm in the short amount of time he was in the game, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to make his next start or even return at all in the final month of the regular season as the Brewers attempt to land a wild-card spot. Heading into his start on Wednesday, Lauer was 10-6 with a 3.54 ERA (4.63 FIP), a 1.22 WHIP, 134 strikeouts and 51 walks in 142 1/3 frames over his 25 starts.

Monday, September 05

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Monday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Ryan Feltner. Yelich missed the last three games with neck soreness, but he'll return on Monday for the start of a series against the Rockies in hitter-friendly Coors Field. Fantasy managers will want to get the 30-year-old left-handed slugger back into their lineups, as Yelich has been very productive in his last 16 games, hitting .317 (19-for-60) with three home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored. Overall, he's been a disappointment with his .259/.360/.387 slash line with 11 homers, 45 RBI, 83 runs scored and 16 stolen bases in 468 at-bats.

Sunday, September 04

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is not in the lineup on Sunday vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yelich has now missed three straight games after exiting Thursday's contest vs. the D-Backs early with neck discomfort. Milwaukee is hoping he can avoid the injured list but fantasy managers still need to consider him day-to-day. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .259/.360/.387 with 11 long balls, 45 RBI, and 16 thefts over 468 at-bats on the season. Rookie Esteury Ruiz is batting ninth and starting in left field against Zac Gallen and the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Friday, September 02

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich was removed from Thursday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went 0-2 with a strikeout before exiting. The Brewers will provide an update on Yelich as no details about his removal have been released by the team. The 30-year-old is slashing .259/.360/.387 with 11 home runs, 46 RBI, 83 runs, and 16 stolen bases in 125 games in 2022. Tyrone Taylor replaced Yelich in left field. Taylor would see an uptick in at-bats if Yelich were to miss any time. Stay tuned for more updates.
		Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is day-to-day after leaving the game early on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with neck discomfort. "He just irritated his neck on one of the swings in that second at-bat. We're day-to-day. I think there's a chance he misses a couple of days but I wouldn't worry about it past that," Counsell said. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Yelich for a few days, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term issue. Yelich went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before departing and is now hitting .259/.360/.387 on the season with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 83 runs scored and 16 stolen bases. He finished the month of August hitting .255 (26-for-102) with three homers, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Thursday, September 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers recalled outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz and right-hander Luis Perdomo from Triple-A Nashville with rosters expanding on Thursday. Ruiz, the team's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will make his debut with Milwaukee after being acquired from the San Diego Padres last month in the trade that sent closer Josh Hader to San Diego. The 23-year-old hit an impressive .326/.383/.395 with no home runs, five RBI, 16 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 22 games for Nashville. In his first 14 big-league games with the Friars earlier this year, Ruiz went 6-for-27 (.222) with no homers, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base. He'll provide the Brew Crew with some outfield depth down the stretch as they look to earn a wild-card spot in the National League.

Wednesday, August 31

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Zach Thompson, serving as the designated hitter and batting third in the lineup. Tellez sat out of the game on Tuesday, but he'll be back in there for fantasy managers on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has been a great source of power this year, as he's batting .231/.323/.477 with an .801 OPS, a career-high 27 home runs, 75 RBI, 51 runs scored and one stolen base in 415 at-bats for the Brew Crew. He hasn't been as good in the month of August, though, going 17-for-75 (.227), but he does have seven home runs, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored in 24 games played.

Tuesday, August 30

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez left Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with right knee discomfort. Tellez left the game after coming around to score from first base on a Hunter Renfroe double in the fourth inning. The Brewers replaced him at first base with Keston Hiura. Tellez went 1-for-2 with a run before leaving the game. It doesn't sound like the injury is serious but stay tuned as the Brewers are likely to update his status sometime before Tuesday's game.

Sunday, August 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (hamstring, lat) is "likely" out for the remainder of the season. He sustained a lat injury similar to teammate Freddy Peralta that caused the right-hander to miss nearly three months. Rosenthal had missed a lot of time recovering from a hamstring issue and was on track to return to Milwaukee's bullpen until sustaining a lat injury. The 32-year-old hasn't pitched since 2020 and will look to make a full recovery for 2023. Rosenthal posted a 1.90 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and was 11-for-12 in save opportunities across 23 2/3 innings in 2020.

Tuesday, August 23

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser (forearm) could be returning to the rotation for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Houser was scratched from a rehab start on Sunday, although the team is saying that the decision was not health-related. Houser has made 15 starts in 2022, posting a 4-8 record, 4.72 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts over 76 1/3 innings of work. He has been sidelined with a strained forearm flexor since early June.
		Milwaukee Brewers second/third baseman Mike Brosseau (rib cage) exited Monday's game against the Dodgers in the bottom of the third inning with right rib-cage discomfort, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Brosseau was replaced by Luis Urias. Fantasy managers should wait for more news after the game. The 28-year-old has a respectable .258/.341/.417 slash line in 135 plate appearances this season, but his inconsistent playing time does not make him a fantasy asset at this time.

Monday, August 22

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Milwaukee Brewers placed left-hander Aaron Ashby (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with left shoulder inflammation and recalled left-hander Jason Alexander from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Ashby's injured list stint is retroactive to Aug. 20. The 24-year-old southpaw's shoulder was probably bothering him in his last start on Friday against the Chicago Cubs, when he surrendered six runs on eight hits in just five innings of work. He is 2-10 on the year with a 4.58 ERA (4.07 FIP), 1.43 WHIP, 116 strikeouts and 43 walks in 96 1/3 innings over 23 outings (17 starts) in his second big-league season. Ashby is relevant in mixed fantasy leagues because of his strikeout upside, but walks continue to be an issue for the young lefty. Alexander could replace Ashby in Milwaukee's starting rotation.

Thursday, August 18

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that catcher Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) will probably return from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. In two games on his minor league rehab assignment for Triple-A Nashville, Narvaez has gone 3-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored, so he's nearing a return to the major league roster. The 30-year-old will return to primary catching duties for Milwaukee when he's activated. He's hit a very modest .237/.324/.363 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored for the Brew Crew this year in only 190 at-bats. Victor Caratini and Mario Feliciano have been splitting playing time behind the dish with Narvaez on the injured list.
