Milwaukee Brewers

Colin Rea delivered a stellar performance on Wednesday, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out five in the Brewers' 7-1 victory over the Rays.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers, especially considering his somewhat rocky 3.25 ERA and 1.27 WHIP entering the game. Rea's ability to suppress runs this game, combined with a season-low BABIP of .240, suggests he might be finding his rhythm on the mound. However, his modest strikeout rate of 6.15 K/9 and high FIP of 5.39 still raise concerns about his long-term reliability as a fantasy starter. Managers should remain cautious, using him as a matchup-dependent option rather than a regular starter.

Willy Adames had a standout performance in the Brewers' 7-1 victory over the Rays, going 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI.

Fantasy Impact: His impactful game significantly bolstered his season totals, bringing his home run count to six and RBI to 21. This power display is a positive sign for fantasy managers, especially considering his solid .278 batting average and improving power metrics. Adames' ability to contribute in multiple categories, including runs and occasional steals, makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. His consistent playing time and key role in the Brewers' lineup should keep him relevant, particularly in leagues that value power-hitting middle infielders.

Brice Turang went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI, and a steal in the Brewers' 8-2 victory over the Rays.

Fantasy Impact: Turang's performance this season has been impressive, maintaining a .312 batting average and adding valuable speed with 14 stolen bases. His ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities makes him a consistent fantasy asset, especially in categories like runs scored and stolen bases.

Fantasy Impact: Miller has not had much playing time this season, appearing in just seven games. The Brewers have added Tyler Black to the roster in a corresponding move.

Bryse Wilson allowed just one earned run over six innings, striking out six, in the Brewers' 1-0 loss to the Rays on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a strong performance that saw him surrender only four hits and two walks, Wilson was saddled with the loss due to a lack of run support. His season ERA now stands at an impressive 3.00, with a WHIP of 1.00, maintaining his relevance in fantasy leagues, particularly those valuing ratio statistics and strikeouts. However, his fantasy managers might remain frustrated by the Brewers' inability to convert his quality starts into wins, impacting his value in win-dependent formats.

Joe Ross endured a tough outing, surrendering six earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's 15-3 loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact: This performance inflates his ERA to 5.40 and WHIP to 1.68 for the season, continuing a trend of high-scoring games against him. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.3 K/9, Ross's high BABIP of .350 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, though his control issues are also a significant concern. Fantasy managers should be wary of starting him in matchups against high-powered offenses, as his current form presents considerable risk.

Fantasy Impact: According to McCalvy, Miley will spend the next 10-12 months rehabbing and then decide whether to continue his career. It is a tough setback for the veteran pitcher.

Blake Perkins went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Brewers' narrow 7-6 victory over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact: His lone hit of the game was a crucial home run that contributed significantly to the team's success. Despite a relatively modest hit count in this game, Perkins's season has been strong, boasting a .313 batting average and a .402 wOBA, which are indicators of his solid offensive performance. His ability to maintain a high BABIP (.386) suggests that he's been somewhat lucky with balls in play, but his consistent run production and occasional power (3 HRs this season) keep him as a viable option in most fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his performance, especially in leagues that reward on-base percentage and extra-base hits.

Joey Ortiz went 2-for-4 in the Brewers' 7-6 win over the Yankees, including a home run, four RBI, and one run scored.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marked a significant contribution, especially considering his season-long struggle to consistently drive in runs. With this game, Ortiz doubled his home run tally and nearly matched his RBI total from the previous 23 games. His clutch hitting in high-pressure situations could hint at an upward trend, but his overall season stats suggest a cautious approach for fantasy managers. His .264 batting average and modest power numbers don't scream must-start, but games like this could make him a valuable streaming option in deeper leagues or when facing favorable matchups.

William Contreras went 2-for-4 with three runs on Thursday against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Contreras continued his strong start to the season, hitting .365 with five home runs. He hit a long ball in the first inning against Mitch Keller.

Trevor Megill tossed a perfect inning to notch his first save of the season in the Brewers' 7-5 win over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Despite not recording any strikeouts, Megill was effective, keeping the Pirates at bay to secure the victory. This performance should slightly bolster his fantasy relevance, especially in formats that value saves plus holds. His season ERA now impressively stands at 1.59, and with a WHIP of 1.06 through five appearances. He remains a solid option in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate in daily formats, however, his moderate strikeout rate (7.9 K/9) might limit his upside compared to other high-strikeout relievers.
