Brewers' Blake Perkins: Late-game heroics not enough
Rotowire
Perkins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-4 loss to Baltimore.
Perkins belted a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning off Yennier Cano. However, the Orioles immediately took back the lead in the bottom of the seventh. Still, Perkins racked up his second three-hit game of 2024 and has generated a hit in six of seven appearances. In 26 at-bats, Perkins owns a team-leading .385 batting average with a 1.082 OPS.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Takes loss after blowing save
Rotowire
Uribe (1-1) took the lose and blew the save Sunday against Baltimore. He allowed three hits and two runs over one inning without logging a strikeout.
Uribe trotted out to the mound for the seventh inning with a one-run lead and gave up three consecutive singles to open the frame. With one run already plated and runners on first and third with no outs, Uribe got Adley Rutschman to ground into a double-play but the runner on third scored and gave the Orioles the lead. Uribe has blown back-to-back save chances after starting the campaign 3-for-3, falling to a 7.50 ERA over six innings. With the Brewers near the top of the National League standings, Uribe could start leaking ninth-inning work if he doesn't turn things around.

Brewers' Colin Rea: Win streak halted
Rotowire
Rea didn't factor into Sunday's decision, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk across 5.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out six.
After picking up victories in his first two starts this season, Rea wasn't able to add to his season total Sunday. Rea struggled to keep the ball inside Oriole Park, allowing solo home runs to Cedric Mullins in the second inning and to Ryan O'Hearn in the third inning for his first two homers given up this season. Through 16.2 innings, Rea owns a 2.70 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP and is set up to face the Cardinals on Saturday.
Martin was claimed off waivers by the Brewers and was assigned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Martin was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks last week and will now make his way to the Brewers. The right-hander made just two appearances at Triple-A Reno prior to being DFA'd, and he allowed three runs on three hits and three walks over three innings.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Getting Sunday off
Rotowire
Chourio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
He'll exit the starting nine for the second time in 14 games this season while Milwaukee rolls out an outfield of Joey Wiemer, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick from left to right. Chourio went 1-for-11 with three strikeouts while starting in the first two games of the series in Baltimore.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Playing time on upswing
Rotowire
Ortiz will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Ortiz will pick up his third start in four games at third base, with the lefty-hitting Oliver Dunn having drawn just one start during that span. Notably, the Brewers have faced four right-handed pitchers over that stretch, so the righty-hitting Ortiz could be moving into a full-time role after he initially looked to be a short-side platoon player for Milwaukee. Ortiz is slashing .333/.438/.444 through his first 32 plate appearances with the Brewers this season.

Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Brewers transferred Mitchell (finger) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
GM Matt Arnold recently said Mitchell is expected to return around the start of June, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline from a fractured finger. Sal Frelick and Blake Perkins should continue to split playing time in center field for Milwaukee in the meantime.

Brewers' Oliver Dunn: Losing work to Ortiz
Rotowire
Dunn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Dunn is on the bench for the third time in four games, with all of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. The rookie looked to have gained traction as the Brewers' everyday third baseman after getting on base at a .400 clip through his first seven big-league games, but he's starting to lose playing time to Joey Ortiz after going 2-for-13 with six strikeouts over his past three contests.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Heads to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Even with a right-hander (Corbin Burnes) taking the hill for the opposition, the lefty-hitting Bauers will find himself on the bench for the second time in the series. Bauers could end up moving into more of a part-time role if Rhys Hoskins continues to see regular duties at first base and if the Brewers elect to rotate players at designated hitter.

Brewers' J.B. Bukauskas: Out with lat strain
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Bukauskas on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right lat strain.
Bukauskas picked up his first hold of the season Saturday in Baltimore after he allowed a hit and no runs over two-thirds of an inning, but he'll now be out for a least the next two weeks due to the lat injury. Jared Koenig will take his place in Milwaukee's bullpen.

Brewers' Joey Wiemer: Promoted Sunday
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Wiemer from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
The 25-year-old failed to make Milwaukee's Opening Day roster but is being called up Sunday as outfield depth since Christian Yelich (back) is banged up. Wiemer will start in left field Sunday could split playing time there with Blake Perkins field should Yelich end up on the injured list.

Brewers' Jared Koenig: Contract selected by Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Koenig's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
The left-hander joined Milwaukee on a minor-league deal in November and will receive a look in the big leagues after he posted an 8:2 K:BB with one run allowed over 4.2 innings to begin the season with Nashville. Koenig should fill a low-leverage role while up with the Brewers.

Brewers' Andruw Monasterio: Sent to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Monasterio to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
The 26-year-old has just nine plate appearances through the first couple weeks of the season, so he'll head to Triple-A with Milwaukee in need of outfield depth while Christian Yelich (back) is banged up. Monasterio will be a top candidate to rejoin the Brewers when infield depth is needed.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Launches first homer
Rotowire
Bauers went 1-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Orioles.
The Brewers rattled off 15 hits in total on the afternoon, but Bauers had the biggest blow with a three-run homer off Dean Kremer in the fourth inning that broke open a 5-5 tie. It was the 28-year-old first baseman's first long ball of the season, and he's batting just .161 (5-for-31) through nine games while filling a strong-side platoon role. His defensive reputation should buy him some extra time to get going at the plate, but the fact that top prospect Tyler Black is getting reps at first base in Triple-A is an ominous sign for Bauers' fantasy outlook.

Brewers' DL Hall: Bailed out by offense
Rotowire
Hall escaped with a no-decision in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Orioles, coughing up five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.
Facing his former team for the first time after being part of the package sent to Milwaukee this offseason for Corbin Burnes, Hall looked more like a sleeper agent as he served up homers to Ryan Mountcastle and Jordan Westburg in the first inning and Adley Rutschman in the third. However, the Brewers' offense kept pace and took the lead for good in the top of the fourth. Hall has had a bumpy conversion to the rotation so far after 28 of his 29 appearances with the O's came out of the bullpen, and through three starts he's stumbled to a 7.11 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB in 12.2 innings. The 25-year-old southpaw lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in St. Louis.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Yelich (back) won't play during the rest of Milwaukee's weekend series against Baltimore and may require a trip to the injured list, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Murphy added that a decision on Yelich will likely come before Monday's series opener against the Padres. If the 32-year-old outfielder's condition doesn't improve by then, he would likely move to the IL, opening the door for Blake Perkins to see regular reps in the outfield. Yelich has been scorching hot to begin the year, slashing .333/.422/.744 across 45 plate appearances.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Held out Saturday
Rotowire
Yelich (back) isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.
Yelich felt his back tighten up on him while running during Friday's win and was removed from the game in the second inning. The veteran outfielder has a history with back injuries, so it's not too surprising to see Milwaukee rest him to avoid making the issue worse. Sal Frelick will shift to left field in Yelich's place, allowing Blake Perkins to start in center field and bat ninth.
