Milwaukee Brewers

Brice Turang went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and a walk in the Brewers' 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's defeat, Turang's performance at the plate and on the bases continues to be a bright spot. His season batting average remains robust at .319, and he has now successfully stolen 12 bases. Turang's ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities through his speed makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups.

Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, one run scored, and two RBI in the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the defeat, Hoskins managed to contribute significantly to the scoreboard with his fifth homer of the season. His performance this season has been a mixed bag, maintaining a modest .222 batting average with a relatively low .220 BABIP, which suggests potential for some positive regression.

Joe Ross endured another tough outing, allowing one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a seemingly modest ERA of 4.05 and a decent outing today, Ross's season has been marred by a high WHIP of 1.55. His strikeout rate of 8.1 K/9 remains solid, yet his strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.00 indicates ongoing control issues. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his current metrics suggest potential volatility in his performances, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Fantasy Impact: Junis was in outfield and was down for several minutes. The team has stated he is alert and responsive, but was taken to an area hospital for evaluation. Junis is on the injured list and in the midst of a throwing program, although this may delay his progress.

Fantasy Impact: Monasterio was up with the Brewers for a brief period as depth while Jake Bauers was on the bereavement list. He did not appear in a game but could be called up in the future as a depth option.

Fantasy Impact: Andruw Monasterio was sent down in the corresponding move. Bauers should return to the lineup soon and continue to split time with Rhys Hoskins.

The Brewers have recalled Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville. (Source: Brewers on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Myers will take the roster spot of Wade Miley, who was placed on the IL with an elbow injury. The 25-year-old has a 1.62 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP in four games this season with Nashville.

Fantasy Impact: Miley will hit the injured list for the second time this season. The team has not released a timetable for Miley’s injury yet. Tobias Myers will take his spot on the roster.

Colin Rea allowed five hits over five scoreless innings on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Rea took the no-decision in a pitchers duel with Sonny Gray. He now boasts a 2.04 ERA on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Koenig is returning to the team after being optioned on April 17. He will provide depth in the bullpen for the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Hall reportedly suffered the injury in the second inning of his start Saturday. The left-hander has struggled over his last two starts and will now be out at least two weeks. Jared Koenig was recalled as the corresponding move.

Jackson Chourio went 2-for-3 in the Brewers' 12-5 victory over the Cardinals, contributing with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: This performance could be a turning point for Chourio, who has struggled with a .235 average over the season. His ability to combine power and speed was on full display, which is a promising sign for fantasy managers looking for dynamic contributors. Despite a high strikeout rate of 0.293, his multi-faceted game offers potential upside in multiple categories. Fantasy managers should monitor if this game sparks a hot streak, making him a more reliable option moving forward.

William Contreras went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI as the Brewers edged out the Cardinals 2-1.

Fantasy Impact: His contributions were crucial in this low-scoring affair, driving in both runs for Milwaukee. Contreras's performance this season has been impressive, boasting a .361 batting average. His consistent hitting and ability to drive in runs (19 RBI in 18 games) make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. While his strikeout rate sits at a reasonable 0.226, his ability to get on base and generate extra-base hits adds significant value. Fantasy managers should continue to view Contreras as a top-tier option at catcher.

Freddy Peralta delivered a stellar performance, tossing six shutout innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out seven in the Brewers' 2-1 win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a strong start to the 2024 season for Peralta, striking out at least seven in each of his four starts on the mound. The right-hander now boasts a 1.90 ERA and a 0.76 WHIP through his first four starts. His impressive 12.5 K/9 and 8.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio highlight his dominant command and ability to overpower hitters. The consistency in limiting base runners and maintaining a low BABIP (.245) suggests that Peralta should remain a top-tier fantasy option.

Fantasy Impact: Megill will return to the Brewers’ roster after landing on the IL on April 3. The 30-year-old will provide depth out of the Brewers’ bullpen.

Fantasy Impact: Gutierrex should provide Boston with some pitching depth in its organization. He was optioned to Triple-A Worcester.

The Rangers signed Collin Wiles to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact: Wiles will add depth in the organization for Texas. He last appeared with Oakland in 2022.

Fantasy Impact: Herget went unclaimed on waivers. He will remain in the Brewers organization.

Joel Payamps delivered a clean inning to notch a save as the Brewers edged out the Padres 1-0 on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: He threw 16 pitches in a flawless frame, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, although he didn't record any strikeouts. Despite a rocky start to the season with a 4.91 ERA, Payamps's performance in this outing could be a sign of stabilization, especially considering his solid 0.68 WHIP. His ability to secure games without allowing base runners is a valuable asset in fantasy formats that reward saves and holds, though his lack of strikeouts in this appearance might not appeal to those in need of punchouts. Moving forward, if Payamps can maintain this level of control, he might carve out a more reliable role in high-leverage situations, potentially boosting his fantasy stock.

Bryse Wilson delivered 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out two in the Brewers' 1-0 victory over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a breath of fresh air for Wilson, whose season has been marred by a bloated 5.19 ERA despite a solid 1.04 WHIP and an impressive 10.4 K/9 prior to this start. His performance Wednesday could lead to the 26-year-old receiving more opportunities as an opener for the Brewers.
