Brewers' Jake Bauers: On bench versus lefty
Bauers is not in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.
Southpaw Tyler Alexander will start on the mound Tuesday for Tampa Bay, which means the lefty-hitting Bauers will begin the game on the bench. Rhys Hoskins will get the start at first base and Gary Sanchez will serve as the DH for Milwaukee. However, Bauer will have competition for playing time at first base going forward with the arrival of Tyler Black, who was promoted from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Three-run homer in loss
Bauers went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 15-5 loss to the Yankees.
Bauers look Marcus Stroman deep for a game-tying three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth inning, knotting the game up at 4-4. He also added a double and a single in the contest, securing his second straight multi-hit performance in a game he started. Bauers is now batting .214 with two home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 56 at-bats in 18 games this season.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: On bench again Wednesday
Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Bauers was on the bench for Tuesday's 2-1 loss while Pittsburgh brought left-hander Bailey Falter to the hill, and the lefty-hitting first baseman will remain in a reserve role Wednesday while southpaw Josh Fleming opens the contest for the Bucs. Owen Miller will draw the start at first base in place of Bauers.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Pittsburgh.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Returns from bereavement list
The Brewers reinstated Bauers (personal) from the bereavement list Monday.
Bauers was away from the Brewers for this past weekend's series in St. Louis but is back on the active roster for the series opener in Pittsburgh. He'll continue to see regular action at first base or as a designated hitter against right-handed pitching.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Goes on bereavement list

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Heads to bench Sunday
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' Jake Bauers: Launches first homer
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' Jake Bauers: Steps out of lineup
Bauers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Not in Monday's lineup
Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
Bauers started the previous two games and went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base Sunday versus Seattle, but he'll take a seat Monday against Cincinnati righty Graham Ashcraft. Rhys Hoskins will handle first base while Oliver Dunn serves as the designated hitter, opening up the hot corner for Joey Ortiz.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sitting Friday
Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Friday's game versus Seattle.
Bauers will sit for the third time in four games despite Seattle sending right-hander Logan Gilbert to the mound Friday. Rhys Hoskins will cover first base while Oliver Dunn serves as Milwaukee's DH, allowing Joey Ortiz to start at third base and bat eighth.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: On bench against righty
Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Bauers had cracked the lineup in two of the Brewers' previous three matchups versus right-handed pitching, but he'll sit Wednesday versus Twins righty Chris Paddack. Given that he's signed to a modest one-year deal and is off to a 1-for-10 start to the season, Bauers likely won't have a long leash as a strong-side platoon player and already seems to be losing some job security.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting start Tuesday
Bauers is starting at first base and batting fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Twins.
Bauers has now handled first base in two of the last three contests while Rhys Hoskins serves as the designated hitter. Meanwhile, Gary Sanchez -- who many thought would garner regular starts at DH -- is on the bench for the third straight game against a right-hander. Bauers is 1-for-7 with a double in the early going this season.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Avoids arbitration with Brewers
The Brewers and Bauers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.35 million contract Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Bauers was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time this offseason. Acquired in November from the Yankees, Bauers currently looks slated to serve as the long side of a platoon at first base in Milwaukee. He posted a .693 OPS with 12 homers and a 34.9 percent strikeout rate in 2023 with New York.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Dealt to Brewers
The Yankees traded Bauers to Milwaukee on Friday in exchange for Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez.
With a .211 batting average and .663 OPS through four seasons in the majors, Bauers has yet to establish himself as a threat at the plate. However, with no remaining minor-league options, he figures to be firmly in the running for the Brewers' first base job, and his ability to man the corner outfield positions could land him a bench spot if he doesn't start.

Yankees' Jake Bauers: Homers Thursday
Bauers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Making his first start in a week, Bauers opened the scoring with a three-run homer off Jose Berrios in the first inning. It's Bauers' 12th home run of the year, matching a career high, though his first since Aug. 5. The 27-year-old outfielder had been struggling at the plate, going just 2-for-38 (.053) over his previous 15 games while retreating to a bench role. Overall, Bauers is batting .199 with a .690 OPS, 30 RBI and 26 runs scored through 259 plate appearances this season.
