Milwaukee Brewers

Bryse Wilson allowed two earned runs over 4 2/3 innings in the Brewers' 4-2 victory over the Astros on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: He surrendered five hits and a walk while striking out three. Despite a less-than-stellar outing, Wilson's season ERA slightly rose to 2.79, and his WHIP now stands at 1.14. His performance today, characterized by a lack of dominance and control, might raise concerns among fantasy managers relying on his earlier season form. Given his elevated 5.07 FIP and modest strikeout rate, Wilson's low ERA might be due for regression, suggesting a cautious approach in fantasy lineups moving forward.

Trevor Megill notched a save, striking out three in a clean inning as the Brewers topped the Astros 4-2.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Megill's growing reliability in high-pressure situations, enhancing his fantasy value as a closer. With a season ERA now improved to 1.54 and a WHIP of 0.94, his ability to suppress hits and runs is evident. His impressive strikeout rate of 10.0 K/9 and a solid 4.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio make him a valuable asset in categories that reward strikeouts and saves. Fantasy managers should consider Megill a strong option for saves and strikeouts, especially given his consistent performance in closing games without blowing a save this season.

William Contreras went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Brewers' 4-2 victory over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: His three-run shot contributed significantly to the team's win, emphasizing his role as a key offensive player. With a batting average of .350 through 45 games, Contreras continues to be a high-value asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories like RBI and runs scored. His consistent power-hitting, highlighted by his seventh homer of the season, along with a robust .422 wOBA, should keep him as a top fantasy catcher. Fantasy managers should continue to start him with confidence, given his impressive offensive output and regular playtime.

Freddy Peralta took the loss Friday, yielding five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: This outing nudged his ERA up to 4.17 and his WHIP to a still-respectable 1.13 for the season. Despite the rough start, Peralta's high strikeout rate (11.6 K/9) and solid underlying metrics, such as a 3.58 FIP and a 3.76 K/BB ratio, suggest he remains a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. His ability to miss bats consistently should help him rebound, but fantasy managers might be growing a tad restless with the volatility in his run prevention.

Joey Ortiz had a standout performance, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and one run scored in the Brewers' 5-4 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: This game highlighted Ortiz's ability to deliver when it counts, significantly boosting his RBI total to 15 for the season. His consistent hitting has kept his average near the .300 mark, an encouraging sign for fantasy managers. The power display, with his fifth homer of the season, combined with a solid .405 wOBA, suggests that Ortiz could be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value extra-base hits and RBI. While the Brewers fell short in this contest, Ortiz's individual performance could be a silver lining for fantasy managers looking for infield productivity.

Jake Bauers went 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Brewers' 5-4 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Bauers also drew two walks, showcasing his ability to get on base despite a challenging matchup. This performance could hint at a potential uptick in his fantasy value, especially considering his power-speed combination. With a season batting average of .241 and a modest .358 wOBA, Bauers remains a risky fantasy play. However, his ability to contribute across multiple categories, as evidenced by his five home runs and five stolen bases, makes him a potential asset in deeper leagues or as a streaming option depending on the matchup.

Fantasy Impact: Wiemer will likely need to play in a handful of games on his rehab assignment.

Robert Gasser delivered a solid outing in the Brewers' 10-2 victory over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings. Gasser's performance, marked by efficient pitching and control, helped him secure his second win of the season. With a sterling ERA of 0.82 and a WHIP to match after his first few starts, Gasser is shaping up to be a reliable option in fantasy lineups, especially in deeper leagues. His low strikeout rate (4.9 K/9) might not turn heads, but his ability to limit walks and maintain a low ERA could provide consistent value. As long as he maintains this form, Gasser could be a sneaky good pick for stability in fantasy rotations.

Sal Frelick went 3-for-4 in the Brewers' 10-2 victory over the Pirates, including a double, a home run, three runs scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Frelick, raising his batting average to .257. His power display, with his second home run of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for more slugging from the outfielder. However, his moderate strikeout rate and low walk rate suggest that consistency at the plate could remain an issue. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on whether Frelick can build on this game to enhance his overall production and value.

Gary Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Brewers' 10-2 rout of the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a crucial home run that contributed significantly to the team's victory. Sanchez's season has been a mix of moderate power and average production, with a .243 batting average and six homers over 27 games. His wOBA of .358 indicates a decent ability to produce runs, but his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest some inconsistency at the plate. Fantasy managers should view Sanchez as a potential power source, but his fluctuating performance might make him a risky play depending on the matchup.

Joe Ross delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings in Tuesday's 4-3 win against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: This outing marks a positive shift for Ross, who has struggled with a 4.61 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through his first eight starts of the season. His ability to limit hits and maintain a decent strikeout rate in this game could hint at potential improvements, although his season-long metrics suggest caution.

Fantasy Impact: Hoskins injured his hamstring Monday and was removed from the game. He will now miss some time and fantasy managers should expect Jake Bauers and Owen Miller to see playing time at first base.

Fantasy Impact: Miller will join the Brewers after the team placed Rhys Hoskins on the IL with a hamstring injury. Jake Bauers drew the start in Tuesday’s game against the Pirates.

Colin Rea took the loss Monday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: This outing nudged his ERA up to 3.45 and WHIP to 1.26 for the season, reflecting a slight dip in his otherwise steady performance. Despite a decent strikeout count, Rea's lower K/9 rate of 6.1 this season suggests limited upside for fantasy strikeouts. Fantasy managers should consider these metrics carefully, as they might hint at volatility in Rea's future starts, potentially impacting his reliability as a fantasy starter.
