Bauers went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.
Bauers delivered an RBI single to give the Brewers the lead in the ninth inning, then stole second in an attempt to help them build on their rally. Bauers had been caught stealing on his previous two attempts, though he has logged three thefts since the All-Star break. On the year, the first baseman is hitting .268 with an .871 OPS, 21 home runs, 68 RBI, 69 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and nine steals over 109 contests.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Clean inning for save
Rotowire
Megill struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.
Megill's scoreless streak is up to nine innings, and he's racked up six punchouts and six saves in that span while allowing just one hit and one walk in total. The closer has 22 saves in 24 chances this season as he continues to be one of the Brewers' best relievers. He's at a 2.44 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 54:12 K:BB across 48 innings.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: Takes no-decision against Dodgers
Rotowire
Drohan allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.
Given the difficulty of the opponent, this was a fair performance for Drohan, who threw 53 of 85 pitches for strikes. He's worked into the sixth inning in seven of his last eight outings, but he's given up at least three runs in six of those games. On the year, he has a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB through 98.1 innings over 24 games (14 starts). Drohan looks set to have a starting role as long as the Brewers stick with a six-man rotation, and his next outing is projected to be at home versus the Mariners.
Brewers' Brice Turang: Dealing with left knee injury
Rotowire
Turang (knee) is not in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang is dealing with left knee pain, and he underwent an MRI on Thursday. Manager Pat Murphy did not rule the second baseman out past Thursday's contest, but Turang is expected to get a second opinion following the MRI. If Turang is forced to miss any action moving forward, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae would be the top two candidates to fill in for him at second base.
Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI double in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Padres.
Sanchez opened the scoring in the second inning with a two-out, solo shot off Robbie Ray, his 10th long ball this season. Sanchez, who's gone 5-for-11 with two homers and two doubles in his last five games, got the start behind the plate Wednesday, though he's primarily been limited to starts against left-handed pitchers or pinch-hitting duties. Overall, Sanchez is slashing .230/.379/.473 across 206 plate appearances this year with 31 runs scored and 29 RBI.
May didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Padres, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.
A Xander Bogaerts solo homer in the third inning accounted for San Diego's lone run against May, who's now turned in back-to-back quality starts since joining the Brewers -- he's given up three runs on seven hits across 13 innings in that span. Over 23 starts (122 innings) between Milwaukee and St. Louis this year, May sports a 4.13 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB. He's currently in line to face the Mariners at home his next time out.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Resting up Wednesday
Rotowire
Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
The Brewers and Padres are closing out their series with a day game after a night game, and a lefty (Robbie Ray) is on the hill for San Diego, so the left-handed-hitting Yelich will unsurprisingly receive the afternoon off. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup in Yelich's usual spot at designated hitter.

Brewers' Luis Lara: Retreating to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Lara is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Lara will sit for just the second time in nine games while the Brewers roll out a starting outfield of Jackson Chourio, Brandon Lockridge and Jake Bauers from the left to right. Since receiving the call to the big leagues July 7, Lara has shown good plate discipline with a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 19 percent strikeout rate, but he's provided limited fantasy value. Through 26 games, Lara is batting .236 with no home runs, two steals, 11 RBI and nine runs.

Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Heading to bench versus lefty
Rotowire
Mitchell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
The Brewers will send the left-handed-hitting Mitchell to the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Padres. Brandon Lockridge will step in for Mitchell in center field and will bat seventh.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: In lineup despite thumb soreness
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Chourio is in Wednesday's lineup versus the Padres despite a sore thumb, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Murphy admitted to misspeaking when he said after Tuesday's 11-2 loss that Brice Turang was battling a sore thumb, as it's actually Chourio whose thumb is bothering him. Chourio was lifted for a pinch hitter Tuesday, though it's unclear whether that move was related to his thumb issue or simply the lopsided score. Though Chourio is back in left field and in the leadoff spot for Wednesday's series finale, his thumb injury will be monitored closely.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Making return from neck injury
Rotowire
Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
After recently losing Cooper Pratt (hamstring) to the injured list, the Brewers look set to avoid another blow to the left side of the infield with Ortiz making his way back into the lineup. Ortiz had missed each of the last three games due to neck tightness, which flared up when he struck out during a plate appearance Saturday. Per MLB.com, Ortiz was able to do some running Monday and then incorporated more baseball activities into his workout Tuesday, with his neck apparently checking out fine afterward. He should be in good shape to hold down a near-everyday role at either third base or shortstop while Pratt is on the shelf.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Included in lineup in series finale
Rotowire
Turang (thumb) will start at second base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang played the entirety of Tuesday's 11-2 loss before Brewers manager Pat Murphy revealed after the contest that the infielder had been dealing with a sprained thumb. According to McCalvy, Murphy issued a retraction when he spoke to the media Wednesday, noting that he meant outfielder Jackson Chourio had been playing through the thumb issue rather than Turang. With that in mind, fantasy managers should have no reservations about including Turang in lineups while he's staged an impressive follow-up to his breakout 2025 campaign. He'll head into Wednesday's contest with a .269 average, 16 home runs, 16 stolen bases, 75 RBI and 74 runs through 114 games.
Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Rocked for eight runs in loss
Rotowire
Harrison (9-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Padres, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings.
After tossing five innings of one-hit ball in his return to the rotation, Harrison experienced the complete opposite Tuesday. The left-hander surrendered a season-high 10 hits -- three of which left the yard -- while allowing eight runs before being chased in the fifth inning. The disastrous outing caused his ERA to jump from 2.84 to 3.47, though he still owns a strong 1.13 WHIP and offers plenty of swing-and-miss upside with 114 strikeouts across 93.1 innings this season. Harrison is scheduled to face the Mariners at home Tuesday in his next start.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Suffers thumb sprain
Rotowire
Turang was diagnosed with a sprained thumb following Tuesday's loss to the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang remained in the game for the entirety of Tuesday's contest, so it's unclear when exactly he got hurt, but the Brewers may now be at risk of losing another infielder after placing Cooper Pratt (hamstring) on the injured list Sunday. Turang will presumably undergo imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and the team will likely know more about his status before Wednesday's series finale.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Targeting late-August return
Rotowire
Pratt (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list sometime in late August, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Pratt is making good progress in his recovery from a strained right hamstring, but he's still likely multiple weeks out from returning to the starting lineup. With Joey Ortiz (back) also dealing with an injury, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae have seen an increase in playing time recently.
