Fantasy Impact: Perkins has struggled recently and will get a day off Thursday. Sal Frelick will patrol center field in his absence.

Fantasy Impact: Gasser is currently one of the top pitching prospects in the Brewers’ organization. While it is likely that he is only going to make one start, this could be a great opportunity for him to make a case to join the rotation later in the season if the Brewers’ continue to struggle with rotation depth.

Joe Ross endured another rough outing, allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: This performance continues a troubling trend for Ross, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 4.75 with a WHIP of 1.47. Despite a decent FIP of 3.98 suggesting some bad luck, his low strikeout rate of 7.3 K/9 limits his upside in fantasy formats. The high BABIP (.316) might hint at potential improvement, but his lack of command and strikeout ability makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues. Ross's inconsistency remains a significant concern for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting options.

Gary Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI in the Brewers' 6-4 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a walk and no strikeouts, marking a solid day at the plate. Despite the Brewers' defeat, Sanchez's contributions were a bright spot, showcasing his power with his fifth homer of the season. Although his batting average sits at a modest .232 through 22 games, his ability to drive in runs and score remains valuable for fantasy managers. His .367 wOBA indicates a strong offensive output, making him a viable option in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value power-hitting catchers.

Oliver Dunn is in the Brewers’ starting lineup Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Dunn will take over at third base and hit eighth against the Royals. The 26-year-old is hitting .227 through 75 at-bats.

Joey Ortiz is not in the starting lineup for the Brewers Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Ortiz will get a day of rest after starting in each of the last two games. Oliver Dunn will draw the start at third base and hit eighth.

Rhys Hoskins is not in the starting lineup for the Brewers Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Hoskins is out of the lineup for rest reasons Wednesday. Gary Sanchez will get the start at first base and bat seventh against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: Yelich has been sidelined for the past few weeks with a low back strain. Tyler Black was optioned as the corresponding move.

Colin Rea struggled through 4 2/3 innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two in the Brewers' narrow 6-5 victory over the Royals on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: This outing marked a noticeable dip in performance for Rea. He has a lower-than-average strikeout rate while his WHIP is a bit high (1.28). That limits his fantasy upside despite a nice 3.29 ERA.

Trevor Megill notched a save with a clean inning, striking out one in the Brewers' narrow 6-5 victory over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: This performance continues a strong season for Megill, who now boasts a 1.04 ERA and a 0.81 WHIP through nine appearances. His ability to maintain a low BABIP (.191) and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.67) suggests that he's managing contact effectively and avoiding free passes. With three saves now under his belt and no blown saves, Megill is proving to be a reliable option in late-game situations.

Willy Adames went 1-for-4 in the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Royals, delivering a key home run along with three RBI and scoring once.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, highlighted by his seventh homer of the season, underscores Adames' ability to contribute impactful hits. His power numbers are solid along with 25 RBI through 35 games.

Bryse Wilson delivered a strong performance, allowing just one hit over six scoreless innings while striking out six against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: Despite his efforts, the Brewers couldn't capitalize, ultimately losing 3-2. Wilson's latest outing continues to solidify his role as a reliable starter, lowering his ERA to an impressive 2.40 and maintaining a commendable WHIP of 0.93. His consistent strikeout ability, evidenced by an 8.1 K/9 rate, and his control, with a 2.70 strikeout-to-walk ratio, make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance trends but consider him a strong option in most formats given his current form.

Fantasy Impact: Peralta was suspended after intentionally throwing at Jose Siri of the Rays. He is not expected to miss a start and should take his next turn in the rotation, which is Saturday against St. Louis.

Fantasy Impact: Junk struggled in his time with the Brewers this season, posting a 9.00 ERA and a 2.80 WHIP in three outings. He could be recalled later in the season as a depth option.

Fantasy Impact: Herget has pitched well since joining Triple-A Nashville. He will provide the Brewers with bullpen depth after the team optioned Jansen Junk to Triple-A.

Brice Turang is not in the Brewers’ starting lineup Monday. (Source: Brewers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Turang will get a day off for rest reasons Monday. Joey Ortiz will draw the start at second base and hit second against the Royals.

Joey Wiemer (knee) is expected to be out of action for 2-to-3 weeks, per manager Pat Murphy. (Source: Curt Hogg on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Wiemer landed on the IL Saturday with a strained popliteus muscle in his left knee. The good news is that he will not require surgery and should be back in a few weeks.

Tobias Myers struggled mightily, allowing four earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: This outing inflates his ERA to 6.23 and continues a concerning trend of inefficiency and lack of control. With a WHIP now standing at 1.31 and a subpar strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.20, Myers's fantasy relevance is dwindling. Given his high FIP of 7.72 and a BABIP that might suggest some bad luck, there's little to be optimistic about. Fantasy managers should consider other options, as Myers has yet to prove he can handle the rigors of a starting role effectively.

William Contreras went 1-for-5 with an RBI in the Brewers' narrow loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the underwhelming performance in this game, Contreras's season has been notably strong. Sporting a .336 batting average and a .403 wOBA, he remains a high-value asset in fantasy leagues, particularly for a catcher. His consistent hitting and ability to drive in runs (27 RBI in 32 games) should keep him as a staple in fantasy lineups, despite occasional off days like this one. His strikeout rate and walk rate indicate solid plate discipline, reinforcing his reliability moving forward.
