Brewers' William Contreras: Strikes again with homer Saturday
Rotowire
Contreras went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Reds.
Fresh off driving in six runs during Friday's lopsided victory over Cincinnati, Contreras was back at it again Saturday with another big performance at the plate. The star catcher is on a power surge, going deep in three consecutive games four of his last six while amassing a staggering 16 RBI already in September. Through 597 plate appearances, he's slashing .273/.343/.420 with 17 big flies, 25 doubles, 86 RBI and 79 runs scored.
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Monster performance in win
Rotowire
Mitchell went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Reds.
Mitchell is heating up in a hurry, smacking a homer and racking up four RBI in back-to-back games. The outfielder has hit safely in eight of his last 11 outings, and he's up to five extra-base hits with 10 RBI already in the month of September. Through 485 plate appearances, he's slashing a respectable .269/.357/.432 with a career-high 11 long balls, 28 doubles, four triples, 65 RBI, 14 steals and 68 runs scored.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: Hit hard in no-decision
Rotowire
Drohan didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Reds, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
Drohan received plenty of run support, as the Brewers staked him to an early 4-0 lead, but he couldn't last long enough to qualify for the win Saturday. The rookie southpaw is showing signs of fatigue late in the season, conceding at least five runs while working four innings or fewer in consecutive outings. He'll try to right the ship his next time out in Baltimore, where he'll bring a 4.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 119:41 K:BB over 118 innings.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Available out of bullpen
Rotowire
Manager Pat Murphy said that Harrison will be available out of the bullpen during Saturday's game against the Reds, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Harrison was originally in line to start Saturday's contest, but Murphy said he believes moving the left-hander to the bullpen temporarily will help him get his confidence back after giving up 15 runs (13 earned) in just 7.1 innings over his last two starts. Shane Drohan will move up a spot in the rotation and fill in for Harrison as Milwaukee's starter Saturday.
Brewers' Garrett Stallings: Earns unconventional first save
Rotowire
Stallings earned the save after walking one and striking out two over three hitless and scoreless innings in Friday's 20-0 win over the Reds.
Stallings took over for Dustin May with Milwaukee comfortably ahead and handled the final three innings without allowing a hit. Despite the enormous margin of victory, his three-inning stint to finish the victory qualified him for a save, the first save of Stallings' MLB career. The right-hander was making his first appearance since retuning to the major-league roster, as he was previously demoted to Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 4. Stallings has yet to allow a run in five major-league relief appearances in 2026, posting a 11:4 K:BB through 11 innings in that span.

Brewers' Dustin May: Strikes out six in win Friday
Rotowire
May (7-9) earned the win Friday against the Reds after allowing two hits and a walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings.
May had little trouble protecting the massive advantage Milwaukee's offense provided, limiting Cincinnati to a pair of Sal Stewart singles over six innings. The right-hander threw 84 pitches (56 strikes) and didn't allow a Reds runner to reach third base while combining with Garrett Stallings on a two-hit shutout. May improved to 2-2 in seven starts since joining Milwaukee at the trade deadline, posting a 4.91 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a 27:11 K:BB in 29.1 innings over that stretch. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Pirates.

Contreras opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first and added two more RBI during Milwaukee's eight-run fifth inning. The star backstop capped the scoring in emphatic fashion, crushing a three-run homer off position player Jose Trevino in the eighth to make it 20-0. The blast was Contreras' 16th of the season. He's gone yard in three of his last five games and is hitting .282 with a .915 OPS across nine games since the beginning of September.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Launches three-run homer Friday
Rotowire
Turang went 3-for-3 with a double, a three-run home run, an additional RBI, two additional runs scored and a walk in Friday's 20-0 win over the Reds.
Turang smacked a three-run shot off Andrew Abbott in the second inning and later added an RBI double in the fifth, ultimately ending just a triple shy of the cycle. The four RBI allowed Turang to reach the 90-RBI threshold, and he also matched his previous career-high mark in homers with 18 thanks to his second-inning blast. The star second baseman has been hit-or-miss so far in September. Through 10 games, he has five multi-hit performances and five hitless games, but overall he is hitting .394 with a 1.130 OPS since the beginning of the month.
Bauers (shins) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.
After three straight days out of the lineup, Bauers is back in the starting nine for Friday's series opener against Cincinnati. The 30-year-old will man first base and bat fifth for Milwaukee.
The Brewers recalled Stallings from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Stallings will return to Milwaukee's bullpen to fill the void left by Brandon Sproat, who was sent down to Nashville in a corresponding move. Stallings has pitched eight shutout innings across four appearances with the Brewers this season but owns a 4.11 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 15.1 frames at Nashville since being sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 4.

Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Jettisoned back to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Sproat to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Sproat had been recalled earlier this week, and he was wild in his lone appearance Wednesday against the Cubs, walking four while being charged with four runs over 1.1 innings. The Brewers will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Friday's game against the Reds.
Contreras went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, one walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Cubs.
Contreras has gone 12-for-39 (.308) with three homers and eight RBI over his last 10 games. The catcher has seen a slight dip in plate discipline with 13 strikeouts in that stretch, but he's still making enough contact to produce positive outcomes. On the year, he's batting .271 with a .751 OPS, 15 homers, 77 RBI, 75 runs scored, 25 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 135 games.

Rotowire
Yelich went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Cubs.
Yelich has two homers over nine contests in September, and they've both come against the Cubs. The 34-year-old went deep off Kevin Gausman in the first inning of Wednesday's contest, giving the Brewers a hot start. Yelich is now batting .241 with a .712 OPS, 11 homers, 53 RBI, 62 runs scored, 23 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases over 106 contests on the year.

Rotowire
Chourio went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Cubs.
Chourio feasted on the Cubs' pitching in this series, going 8-for-14 with two homers and six RBI over the last three games. The outfielder continues to be a quality contributor across the board -- he's up to 23 homers and 17 steals this season, putting him within striking distance of a third straight 20-20 campaign to begin his career. He's batting .290 with an .837 OPS, 65 RBI, 82 runs scored and 25 doubles over 112 contests.
