Luis Urias Looks Ready To Return
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a run scored, a walk and a strikeout in his latest minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. It was reported on Sunday before his contest that Urias was expected to return from the 60-day injured list before Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 26-year-old has hit just .200 (8-for-40) with two doubles, no homers and four RBI in nine rehab games on the farm, but he should return to an everyday role at the hot corner in Milwaukee. Urias has been out for two months with a severe hamstring strain that he suffered on Opening Day, so fantasy managers might want to expect some rust initially upon his return.

Milwaukee Brewers Luis UriasAndruw Monasterio Injured On Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Andruw Monasterio (head) hit his first career homer in Sunday's win over the Reds. Unfortunately, Monasterio's day went downhill from there, as he was forced to exit the game after accidentally getting hit in the head by Will Benson during a pickoff attempt. The 26-year-old complained of a "slight headache" and will undergo an exam to determine the extent of the injury, meaning his availability for Monday's finale with Cincinnati is up in the air. Monasterio was replaced by Mike Brosseau, who went hitless in three at-bats.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Matt Bush (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. The 37-year-old reliever has been out since late April with right rotator cuff tendinitis. He scuffled to start the season, putting up an 8.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 8:6 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings of relief. Ideally, he comes back and serves as the setup man for Devin Williams but he has a lot to prove at this point.

Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Lauer has been dealing with a left shoulder impingement, which had sidelined him on May 20 but it's nice to see him trending in the right direction. The southpaw put up an ugly 5.48 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 41:20 K/BB ratio across 42 2/3 innings (eight starts) before going down with the injury. He'll need a few tuneup starts before he's ready to return to the big league club so he should be back with the Brewers sometime in mid-June, barring a setback.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (concussion), who is currently on the 7-day injured list, is slated to be activated on Thursday, according to beat writer Adam McCalvy. The 27-year-old shortstop will play in three minor league games before then and will then rejoin the Brewers on Thursday for their series against the Baltimore Orioles. Barring any setbacks, fantasy managers should prepare to insert him back into their lineups on Thursday.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list on Tuesday. Urias went 0-for-4 on Opening Day before suffering a left-hamstring strain that put him on the shelf until now. The 26-year-old Mexican should play everyday for the Brewers at third base once he's back, but he hasn't exactly looked great at the plate on his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville. Urias is currently hitting .167 (6-for-36) down on the farm with a double, no home runs, one RBI and 12 strikeouts in eight games played. Milwaukee has been using a handful of options at the hot corner of late, including Owen Miller, Brian Anderson, Mike Brosseau and Abraham Toro.

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Sal Frelick (thumb) is making progress in his recovery from a thumb sprain. The outfielder is currently doing baseball activities, with manager Craig Counsell reporting that he is hitting off a tee and soft toss. The Brewers expect Frelick to return to the field by the third week of June. The second-ranked prospect wasn't performing well before his injury, slashing .232/.317/.321 with six runs, three RBI, and four stolen bases in 15 games for Triple-A Nashville. While Frelick will need until July to make his major-league debut, he is worth stashing in deeper leagues for his speed and solid hit tool.

The Milwaukee Brewers are calling up first baseman Jon Singleton from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, according to sources familiar with the situation. It will be Singleton's first time in the majors since 2015, when he appeared in 19 games for the Houston Astros and went just 9-for-47 (.191) with two doubles, a homer, six RBI and 17 strikeouts in 58 trips to the plate. The 31-year-old left-handed hitter was hitting .258 (46-for-178) with eight doubles, a triple, 10 home runs and 29 RBI in 49 games at Nashville to earn the promotion to Milwaukee. He gets the chance with Darin Ruf (knee) going to the 10-day injured list, but Singletary isn't going to have much fantasy appeal as a backup for the Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes went six innings on Friday, giving up three runs and striking out seven batters in the team's 5-4 win in extras over the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old allowed just two hits, but struggled with four walks and took a no-decision. Burnes was ejected for arguing the strike zone after his final frame of work. The former ERA title holder and Cy Young award winner has a ho-hum 3.75 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 66 punchouts in 69 2/3 innings this year. Fantasy managers expected a bit greater out of the consensus No. 1 overall starting pitcher option in spring drafts. There's no need for panic, but Burnes is mostly treading water and shows a career-low 2.36 strikeouts per walk. The two-time All-Star is in search of a vintage performance and Burnes may have a decent chance at that versus the Cedric Mullins-less Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Darin Ruf (knee) exited Friday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran suffered a right knee laceration in the third inning after running into the tarp while going after a foul ball. Ruf needed stitches to close the wound, with Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reporting that the 36-year-old was "banged-up pretty badly." He was replaced in the game by Rowdy Tellez, who went 0-for-4 while striking out twice. That said, Ruf could miss time. But considering he's hitting .192 this season, an extended layoff shouldn't negatively impact many fantasy managers.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (concussion) will not join the team on the road against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend, but he is resuming baseball activities on Friday with High-A Wisconsin. The Brewers will make a decision at the end of the weekend about Adames' next steps. There's a chance that the 27-year-old won't need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so fantasy managers could be getting him back at some point early next week. He was put on the seven-day concussion injured list last Saturday after getting hit by a foul ball in the dugout. Adames is hitting a disappointing .205 (38-for-185) through 51 games, but he does have nine home runs, 27 RBI and four stolen bases.

The 32-year-old batted just .221/.284/.265 with zero homers and four RBI in 17 games before landing on the injured list.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Devin Williams successfully sealed the game against the Blue Jays by delivering a scoreless ninth inning, securing his ninth save of the season. Although this outing may not have been filled with strikeouts as expected from Williams, he adeptly handled the situation and came out on top. Williams has not allowed a single run in his last six appearances. As a result, his ERA now stands at an impressive 0.51 in 17 games.

Milwaukee Brewers All-Star closer Devin Williams recorded his ninth save of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Williams surrendered a leadoff double in that ninth to Daulton Varsho but retired the next three batters in order to seal the win. The 28-year-old has been one of the most electric relievers in the game as demonstrated by his 0.51 ERA through 17 2/3 innings. He has made 17 appearances while striking out 22 batters with just seven walks. Williams owns a 34.9% strikeout rate, 11.1% walk rate, and a .125 opponent average. Despite the struggles of the Brewers' offense, the pitching staff has kept them in contention, and Williams has been a big part of their success on the mound.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 0-for-2 with two walks in the Brewers' 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Yelich missed multiple games due to back tightness last week, but he returned over the weekend. His power is up this season, as he's on pace to reach 20 home runs for the first time since 2019 if he can stay healthy. Staying healthy has been a challenge for Yelich since that 2019 season, but he played in 154 games last year. His average hasn't seen noticeable improvement, however, as he's hitting .251 entering play Wednesday after hitting .252 last year and .248 in 2021. Yelich continues to be a valuable source of stolen bases with 11 on the year. The power and speed carry his value in rotisserie formats, so long as he can stay on the field.

He'll cover second base and bat second against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Miller back in their lineups. He's slashing .330/.371/.513 with four home runs and 13 RBI in 32 games this season.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Jesse Winker (neck) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 28) on Tuesday with a cervical strain and recalled infielder Abraham Toro from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Winker, who has had a brutal year to this point in his first year in Milwaukee, figures to miss extensive time with this injury. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has limped to a .204 average (22-for-108) with three doubles, no home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, 15 walks and 31 strikeouts in 127 trips to the plate over 39 games. Given how bad he's been this year, Winker has probably already been dropped in the majority of mixed fantasy leagues. Toro should operate as corner infield depth while he's with the Brew Crew.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski was the club's second-round pick in 2022. He is a physical specimen, checking in at 6-foot-7 and 190 pounds. This type of makeup has created some control problems for the hurler, but he still shows upside by converting his size into impressive velocity. The right-hander touches the mid-to-upper-90s with his fastball, producing a rising action and effectively missing opponents' bats. He also has a mid-80s slider that breaks out of the zone and baffles hitters expecting a heater. He is also developing a curveball and changeup, both of which could become solid tertiary options within his repertoire. It's also worth noting that the 21-year-old has not allowed a single home run through 10 starts in pro baseball. During his start last week, Misiorowski tossed five shutout innings, racking up nine strikeouts while allowing one walk and zero hits. It was a truly impressive outing for the JUCO product as he bounced back from a season-worst four-run outing on May 19.

The Milwaukee Brewers activated first baseman Luke Voit (neck) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and then designated him for assignment. Voit hit .221 (15-for-68) with three doubles, no home runs, four RBI, two stolen bases, five runs scored and 27 strikeouts in 74 plate appearances and 22 games for the Brew Crew before he landed on the injured list. For now, the Brewers will stick with Darin Ruf as a platoon option at first base and designated hitter, although Voit could stick around in the organization if he clears waivers. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger led the big leagues in home runs (22) in the COVID-shortened 2020 season (56 games), but he slugged 22 homers again last year in 135 games with the Padres and Nationals.

The 25-year-old has seen his fantasy-rostered percentage slightly dip recently while struggling and playing only a part-time role. Contreras is slashing an adequate .250/.341/.410, but only with five goners and 16 RBI. The 2022 All-Star has bounced around the Milwaukee batting order, but he finds himself in a favorable spot whenever he's behind the dish. Contreras is worthy of mixed-league consideration as a potential top-10 catcher option as long as he's hitting in the top half of the Milwaukee lineup.

It was a bit of a scary scene, but Adames was able to leave with the assistance of the team's trainers. The slugging infielder has no facial fractures and was "alert and responsive" after visiting a local hospital, per manager Craig Counsell, which is a great sign. Hopefully Adames was able to come away without sustaining a significant injury, but the Brewers skipper did concede that the shortstop will head to the injured list on Saturday.

Tellez is slashing .257/.347/.535 with 12 home runs this season, which puts him on pace to approach his career-best 35 home runs from last year. Tellez may have a tough stretch this weekend in San Francisco since it isn't a home run-friendly ballpark, but next week the Brewers travel to Toronto. Tellez has hit 15 home runs at Rogers Centre in his career, the second-most of any ballpark he's played at.

Urias is starting at third base and is hitting second for the Sounds against Triple-A Iowa. The 25-year-old hasn't played since suffering a left-hamstring strain on Opening Day, so he figures to require a lengthy rehab assignment before he comes off the 60-day injured list. Still, it's possible that he will return to big-league action before the end of this month as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks in the minors. Owen Miller has seen most of the starts at the hot corner for the Brew Crew of late, with Brian Anderson also mixing in. When he's ready to return, Urias should be an everyday player for the Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), who took four to five days off from throwing, was back playing catch on Wednesday. He's been targeting the end of June to return to Milwaukee's starting rotation, but there are many steps ahead, including sustained long toss, bullpen sessions, live batting practice sessions and minor-league rehab starts. Woodruff was feeling good after playing catch Wednesday, so it's a good first step. The 30-year-old right-hander is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a Grade 2 subscapular strain in his right elbow, and fantasy managers must remain patient and keep him stashed in an IL spot. Before the injury, Woodruff allowed only one run on seven hits while striking out 12 in his first two starts of 2023.

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent right-hander Julio Teheran to an undisclosed major-league deal on Tuesday. Teheran became eligible to sign with other teams after he opted out of his minor-league deal with the San Diego Padres on Monday. The 32-year-old veteran hurler hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2021 and had a 5.63 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 16 walks and 45 strikeouts in eight starts (40 innings) for Triple-A El Paso this year in the minors. With the Brew Crew struggling to field a healthy starting rotation right now, Teheran could get an opportunity to serve as a short-term stopgap for the Brewers' rotation. It would give him immediate value in deep NL-only leagues, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues should continue to ignore him.

Williams entered the game with two outs in the eight and runners at second and first. He walked a batter, but got out of the inning unscathed. He pitched around another walk in the ninth to lock down the win. Saves have been hard to come by for Williams, who picked up just his second of May in this one. It has nothing to do with his performance, though, as he has pitched to an immaculate 0.59 ERA and 0.85 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 15 IP.

For the year, Chourio is hitting .273 with five homers, 22 RBI and 10 stolen bases. Chourio hits the ball hard, but is still learning to having better plate discipline, especially with breaking balls. If Chourio can do that, he has all the makings of a potential All-Star at the big-league level. He is a longshot to get a chance this season with the Brewers, but the consensus Top-10 prospect should have an opportunity to make an impact in 2024. For now, he should be rostered in dynasty leagues and redraft managers should file his name away for next season or a surprise promotion in 2023.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams secured his sixth save of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals. Williams came on in the eighth inning up by one with one out and runners on first and third. The runner advanced to second on a stolen base, but Williams proceeded to get a strikeout and groundout. He got the first two outs in the ninth on a flyout and strikeout, allowed a double, intentionally walked Nolan Arenado, and ended the game on a groundout. While he hasn't had much opportunity for saves to this point, Williams has been excellent, converting all save opportunities with a 0.64 ERA and a 12.21 K/9 rate. He remains a solid fantasy option, although a second-tier one given the lack of overall opportunities.

Milwaukee Brewers starter Wade Miley (lat) exited Tuesday's start against the St. Louis Cardinals prematurely after suffering a left lat strain, according to MLB.com. Prior to his removal, the 36-year-old allowed one run on a solo home run while walking one without any strikeouts across 1.2 innings. Over eight starts this year, Miley owns a solid 3-2 record, 3.67 ERA and 1.13 WHIP, but, like in the past, has struggled to get punchouts, striking out just 24 batters in 41.2 innings. There will be more news concerning the injury after Tuesday's game, but if he's forced to miss time, that doesn't change much in any fantasy league, considering the veteran's limited fantasy value.

The Brewers have designated right-hander Gus Varland for assignment, reports Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. His roster spot will go to righty J.B. Bukauskas, per Hogg. Varland, 26, was selected from the Dodgers in the most recent Rule 5 draft. He made Milwaukee’s Opening Day roster and was able to make six appearances…

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yelich was pulled out of the game as a precaution on Monday due to back tightness. It appears the team is giving him an extra rest day to fully recover on Tuesday. Owen Miller will cover left field and bat leadoff versus lefty Jordan Montgomery on Tuesday. Miller might be an interesting dart throw in DFS contests considering he's batting first here.

Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is expected to be activated prior to tonight’s game, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. The 29-year-old Seager, playing in the second season of a decade-long $325MM contract, has missed the past month due to a hamstring strain. He burst out of the gates with a .359/.469/.538 showing through…

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) was removed from Monday's 18-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals mid-game. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, manager Craig Counsel is being careful while the former MVP is experiencing back tightness, as the score was already 8-0 when he left. Fantasy managers need to keep their fingers crossed that he doesn't miss anytime, as Yelich has been on a tear recently and owns a .258/.341/.424 slash line with seven homers, 32 runs, 23 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 40 games. Stay tuned for more updates on the situation.

The Brewers announced they have signed first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf to a one-year contract. Right-hander Brandon Woodruff was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster while first baseman Luke Voit was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained neck to get Ruf onto the active roster.…
May 15 · MLB Trade Rumors Milwaukee Brewers Darin Ruf Luke VoitBrewers Sign Darin Ruf
The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with first baseman Darin Ruf on Monday. The right-handed slugger was recently designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants. He elected free agency over a minor league assignment, which ended up working out well for him. The Brewers needed a first baseman with Luke Voit (neck) heading to the injured list. Ruf is hitting .261/.370/.348 with no homers and three RBI in 23 at-bats this season. He has plenty of big league experience and is normally a reliable option versus left-handed pitching. However, Ruf probably won't be worth looking at in most fantasy formats.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor is missing from the lineup for Saturday's matchup against Zack Greinke and the Kansas City Royals. The former second-round draft pick has struggled in limited action this year, batting .212 with one home run and three steals over 10 games. Instead, Owen Miller is taking his spot in the lineup, playing third base and batting eighth. The 26-year-old looks to be coming into his own, slashing .323/.348/.435 with one long ball, nine runs, six RBI, and three stolen bases through 23 games. He's a solid option off the waiver wire, especially against Greinke, who owns a 5.18 ERA this season.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer will have his next turn in the rotation skipped. The 27-year-old will be available out of the bullpen, but will take a backseat to Colin Rea for at least one start. Lauer has seen his velocity drop this season, so possibly that's why the Brewers are pulling him out of the rotation. He's posting a 4.72 ERA with 33/18 K/BB ratio in seven starts this season. He didn't have a ton of fantasy value anyway, but a move to the bullpen would basically end all his value.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes on Friday allowed just two hits and four walks in six innings. He showed dominance by striking out seven batters throughout 104 pitches, ultimately guiding the Brewers to a convincing 5-1 victory over the Royals. Following this impressive outing, Burnes effectively lowered his ERA to 3.35. Moreover, his record improved to 4-2, showing that he will be a formidable force in the Brewers' pitching rotation this season.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (groin) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. The 30-year-old right-hander has been on the shelf since late March with a groin strain so Sunday's start will be his season debut. He compiled a 4.73 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 69:47 K/BB ratio over 102 2/3 innings (21 starts) last season. He shouldn't garner much fantasy attention outside of deep NL-only leagues.
