Tobias Myers delivered a stellar performance, allowing just one hit and zero runs while striking out five over four innings in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a showcase of efficiency and control, as Myers kept his pitch count low and dominated a capable lineup. His season ERA now improves to an impressive 3.00, complemented by a solid 1.17 WHIP and an 8.3 K/9 rate. Given his consistent performance throughout the season, including a strong 3.53 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a stable .284 BABIP, Myers remains a reliable option in fantasy leagues. His ability to maintain low scoring games and accumulate strikeouts makes him a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking for steady starting pitching as the season winds down.

Joey Ortiz went 1-for-3 with three RBI and a stolen base in the Brewers' 6-0 victory over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a modest .240 batting average over the season, Ortiz's ability to drive in runs was on full display, pushing his RBI tally to 60. His performance this game, highlighted by a crucial hit and productive outs, underscores his knack for timely contributions. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, his consistent RBI production and double-digit stolen bases add a valuable dimension to fantasy lineups.

Jackson Chourio went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base as the Brewers blanked the Mets 6-0.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a couple of strikeouts, but he managed to contribute positively with his speed and contact hitting. Chourio's season has been solid, maintaining a .275 average with a decent power-speed combo, highlighted by 21 homers and 22 stolen bases. His ability to add value through extra-base hits and stolen bases keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats, especially given his consistent playing time. While the strikeouts are a bit of a concern, his overall production makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups.

Willy Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in the Brewers' 6-0 win over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: His performance today, while solid, mirrors his season-long trend of moderate batting average and strong RBI production. Adames's ability to contribute across multiple categories, including power and occasional speed, makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially capping his batting average upside. Fantasy managers should continue to leverage his power and RBI potential.

Trevor Megill tossed 1 1/3 innings, allowing just one hit and striking out one to notch a save in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Megill's role as a reliable closer for the Brewers, enhancing his fantasy value. With a season ERA now at 2.72 and a WHIP of 1.01, he continues to demonstrate control and efficiency on the mound. His 21st save of the season should reassure fantasy managers of his stability in the role, despite a modest strikeout rate. Megill's ability to maintain a low BABIP and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio makes him a dependable option in all formats.

Frankie Montas had a mixed outing in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Brewers, allowing two earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out six over four innings.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a decent strikeout rate in this game, Montas's inability to go deep into the game and control issues continue to plague his season. With a 4.84 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 30 starts, his performance this year has been underwhelming for fantasy managers. The high FIP of 4.80 suggests that his struggles are somewhat reflective of his true performance level, rather than bad luck, indicating potential ongoing challenges in relying on him as a consistent fantasy starter.

Gary Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Brewers' 8-4 victory over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: His solo blast contributed to the team's robust offensive performance, though his season-long struggles at the plate remain evident with a .220 batting average. Despite the low average, Sanchez's power potential is clear, as evidenced by his 11 home runs in 87 games. Fantasy managers should continue to view Sanchez as a risky play due to his high strikeout rate and inconsistent production.

Devin Williams notched another save in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Pirates, allowing just one hit while striking out one.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores his reliability as a closer this season, boasting a stellar 1.31 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP over 21 appearances. With a K/9 rate of 16.5, Williams continues to be a strikeout machine, enhancing his value in leagues that reward such stats. His ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP, coupled with a high strikeout rate and minimal blown saves, solidifies his role as a top-tier fantasy option among relievers. Fantasy managers should feel confident keeping him active in all formats, expecting more saves and strikeouts as he maintains this form.

Aaron Civale delivered a stellar performance, allowing zero earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a breath of fresh air for Civale and his fantasy managers, especially considering his somewhat bloated 4.36 ERA and 1.31 WHIP for the season. His ability to suppress runs in this game could be a sign of late-season adjustments paying off, or simply a good day at the office against a less formidable Pirates lineup. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his season-long metrics like a 4.74 FIP suggest there might still be underlying issues. However, performances like this could make Civale a sneaky play in deeper leagues or as a streaming option, depending on the matchup.

The Brewers activated Nick Mears from the injured list.

Fantasy Impact: Mears had been on the injured list since the last week of August. He re-joins the Brewers bullpen right before the start of the postseason.

Freddy Peralta took the loss Wednesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a solid strikeout rate in this outing, Peralta's inability to secure a win in a critical game reflects the sometimes harsh realities of fantasy baseball, where good performances don't always align with wins. His season stats, including a respectable 3.68 ERA and a strong 10.4 K/9, suggest he remains a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. However, his 4.25 FIP indicates some underlying concerns that could affect his reliability as a top-tier starter. Owners should continue to monitor his outings closely, especially in leagues where strikeouts and ERA are highly valued.

Colin Rea had a rough outing, allowing three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: This performance was a bit of a stumble for Rea, who has been fairly reliable this season with a 4.20 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP over 26 starts. His inability to go deep into the game likely frustrated fantasy managers, especially considering his decent season-long strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.20 and a BABIP of .273, which suggests he hasn't been overly lucky or unlucky. Moving forward, Rea's fantasy value might see a slight dip if he continues to have abbreviated outings like this.

Garrett Mitchell went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Brewers' 7-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's defeat, Mitchell's solo shot was a highlight, though his three strikeouts in the game certainly didn't help matters. With a .256 batting average and eight home runs over 62 games this season, Mitchell's power is evident, but his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His ability to contribute in multiple categories, including runs and stolen bases, keeps him relevant, but his inconsistency at the plate may make him a risky play depending on the matchup.

The Brewers recalled Kevin Herget from Triple-A Nashville.

Fantasy Impact: Herget figures to hold a middle relief role in the Brewers bullpen. He could hold a role in the postseason with a strong finish to the season.
