Brewers' Robert Gasser: Allows three runs vs. White Sox
Gasser didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out three in five innings.
All three of the runs against Gasser came via the home-run ball Saturday -- an Andrew Benintendi solo shot in the third inning followed by a two-run blast off the bat of Gavin Sheets in the fourth. It's just the second time in five starts that Gasser's allowed more than one run. Overall, the left-hander is 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 16 strikeouts while issuing just one walk through his first 28 innings. Gasser's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Tigers in his next outing.

Brewers' Janson Junk: Back in Milwaukee
The Brewers recalled Junk from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Junk will come up from the minors to fill the open spot in Milwaukee's pitching staff following the demotion of Tobias Myers to Triple-A on Saturday. Junk made three appearances for the Brewers during his first big-league stint this season, giving up five earned runs over five innings. He's turned in a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with Nashville since being sent back down, but he will likely be limited to low-leverage work in the majors. The 28-year-old righty also has experience as a starter, opening the door for a potential spot start if Joe Ross (back) isn't able to return from the injured list when eligible June 5.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Sent to Triple-A
The Brewers optioned Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Myers was knocked around during his start against the White Sox on Friday, allowing five earned runs in just 4.1 frames, and he will now head back to Nashville in order to right the ship. The 25-year-old owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 26.2 innings across seven big-league appearances this season, though he still may be relied upon later in the year if the Brewers run into additional problems with their pitching depth. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Getting breather versus lefty
Frelick isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the White Sox.
With lefty Garrett Crochet set to start on the bump for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Frelick will sit on the bench to begin Saturday's game. Jackson Chourio will fill the opening in right field and bat eighth.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Resting versus LHP
Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
The White Sox will send left-hander Garrett Crochet to the mound to start Saturday's contest, meaning the lefty-hitting Bauers will watch the beginning of the game from the dugout. Rhys Hoskins will start at first base, with Christian Yelich in left field and Gary Sanchez in as the DH.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Tallies three hits
Turang went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win against the White Sox.
Turang collected his fourth three-hit game of the season, batting in his customary leadoff spot against right-handed starters with Erick Fedde on the mound. The Brewers second baseman produced another solid month in May, hitting .284 (25-for-88) with one homer, five steals, nine RBI and nine runs scored. Overall, Turang is slashing .298/.361/.414 in 205 plate appearances with three homers, 19 stolen bases, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Roughed up in no-decision
Myers did not factor into the decision in Friday's 12-5 win over the White Sox, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
Myers entered this start on a hot streak, firing a 1.93 ERA and 12:4 K:BB over 9.1 innings in his last three outings, but struggled against a weak White Sox lineup. He allowed just one homer -- a 417-foot solo shot to Paul DeJong -- but failed to reach multiple strikeouts in a start for the first time this season. The Brewers' rotation plans are murky, currently as DL Hall (knee) has been making rehab starts and could return soon. If Myers remains in the rotation for another start, it would come against the Phillies on the road next week.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Laces five hits, drives in five
Yelich went 5-for-6 with a stolen base, two doubles, five RBI and one run scored in Friday's win against the White Sox.
Yelich collected his first five-hit game of 2024 and fifth of his career, achieving the feat for the first time since Aug. 17, 2019. The former MVP has been resurgent since returning from a back injury May 8, hitting .321 (25-for-78) with one homer, six stolen bases, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored. Overall, Yelich is slashing .325/.406/.564 in 134 plate appearances while anchoring a formidable first-place Brewers lineup.

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Back in lineup Friday
Hoskins will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth in Friday's game against the White Sox.
Hoskins has been out since May 13 due to a right hamstring strain, and he'll jump back into the lineup after being activated off the injured list Friday. He'll face off against White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde.

Brewers' Owen Miller: Sent back to Nashville
The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Activated from IL
The Brewers reinstated Hoskins (hamstring) from the injured list Friday.
Hoskins has been on the injured list since he strained his right hamstring during a game against Pittsburgh on May 13. He was originally expected to come off the IL during Milwaukee's upcoming road series in Philadelphia, but the slugging first baseman will instead return a few days early without playing in any rehab games. Hoskins should immediately return to a near-everyday role for the Brewers, though he may see more action as a DH as he gets his hamstring used to playing in games again. Owen Miller was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Brewers' Colin Rea: Solid vs. Cubs
Rea didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
Cody Bellinger's solo home run in the first inning was the lone damage against Rea on Thursday, and he'd ultimately depart in the sixth after throwing 79 pitches. The 33-year-old Rea has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in consecutive outings after giving up 12 runs in his previous three starts (15 innings). Overall, he's 4-2 on the year with a 3.77 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB across 59.2 innings. Rea is currently in line for a tough road matchup with the Phillies in his next outing.

Brewers' Elvis Peguero: Picks up first save
Peguero earned the save in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Cubs, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
With Trevor Megill (elbow) unavailable after he was struck by a line drive Tuesday, Peguero got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. He worked around a Dansby Swanson one-out single to close out a two-run victory, earning his first save of the year. It could be a one-off for Peguero, as Megill is expected to avoid an IL stint and figures to reclaim the closing job until Devin Williams (back) is healthy. Still, the 27-year-old Peguero has been a solid late-inning option for the Brewers this season, pitching to a 2.92 ERA with a 1.58 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Two hits in win
Frelick went 2-for-4 with a run scored in a 6-4 win against the Cubs on Thursday.
Frelick singled and came around to score on a Joey Ortiz double in the second inning and added another base hit in the fourth. Frelick has had a part-time role recently, playing against right-handed pitchers and sitting against most lefties. Since May 20, he has started five of a possible 10 games while hitting seventh in the Brewers lineup.

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Return this weekend possible
Hoskins (hamstring) could be activated as soon as this weekend's series versus the White Sox, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Hoskins has ramped up his running in recent days and is nearly ready to play in games. It's possible the Brewers will ask him to play a few rehab games with Single-A Wisconsin this weekend, and if that happens, it will set Hoskins up for a return Monday at his old stomping grounds in Philadelphia. Hoskins has missed the last two weeks of action with a right hamstring strain.
