Brewers' Robert Gasser: Endures tough fourth frame in loss
Rotowire
Gasser (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Gasser was spotted an early 3-0 lead but gave it away during a four-run fourth inning that included a three-run homer by Teoscar Hernandez. In two starts with the Brewers, the southpaw has surrendered six earned runs across 8.1 frames while posting a 7:6 K:BB and hitting three batters. If given another chance in the rotation, he'd line up for a road matchup against the Astros next weekend.

Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Mitchell (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Mitchell was taken out of Wednesday's game against the Cubs due to back tightness, and Saturday will be the second game in a row he's missed. The Brewers haven't indicated the speedy outfielder will need a trip to the injured list, though that could become an option if he doesn't return soon. Milwaukee will start Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick across the outfield Saturday.

Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Idle Saturday
Rotowire
Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Rengifo will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 1-for-4 during Friday's series opener. His absence will move David Hamilton over to third base while Joey Ortiz starts at shortstop.

Brewers' William Contreras: Getting rest Saturday
Rotowire
Contreras isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Contreras has logged a base hit in each of his last seven games and has four multi-hit efforts in his last five. He'll get a chance to catch his breath Saturday while Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate, batting fifth.

Brewers' Chad Patrick: Collects second save
Rotowire
Patrick pitched 1.1 perfect innings to collect the save in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers. He did not record a strikeout.
Patrick entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning after Aaron Ashby had walked Freddie Freeman and plunked Max Muncy (wrist), putting the tying run on deck. Patrick induced a groundout from Teoscar Hernandez to get out of the jam and then retired the side in order in the ninth to capture his second save in his last three appearances. The 27-year-old righty's experience as a starter makes him more likely to operate as a long reliever, but he's seemingly winning the trust of manager Pat Murphy to work in high-leverage spots occasionally while Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill work through early-season struggles.
Brewers' William Contreras: Launches three-run shot Friday
Rotowire
Contreras went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's win over the Dodgers.
Contreras made his presence felt early in the game with a three-run shot in the first inning, giving him four long balls on the year. This impressive three-hit performance extended Contreras' hitting streak to seven games, a stretch in which he has four multi-hit efforts while slashing .419/.438/.516 over 32 plate appearances.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Fans seven in win over LAD
Rotowire
Henderson (2-1) earned the win Friday against the Dodgers after tossing five scoreless innings, giving up two hits and three walks while striking out seven.
Henderson had to deal with a bases-loaded, two-out situation in the fourth inning, but he retired Max Muncy on a popout to end the threat. That was the only stressful situation Henderson had to face over a five-inning outing in which he threw 57 of his 85 pitches for strikes. Having struck out at least seven in three of his last four starts, Henderson has been doing a great job in the rotation while filling in for the injured Brandon Woodruff (shoulder). Sporting a 2.74 ERA through 23 innings over his first five starts this season, Henderson will carry significant momentum into a divisional matchup against the Cardinals next week.
Mitchell (back) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
Mitchell exited the Brewers' last game Wednesday versus the Cubs due to back tightness. With southpaw Justin Wrobleski toeing the rubber for the Dodgers, the left-handed-hitting Mitchell probably wasn't going to start Friday regardless, but it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench. Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick will form Milwaukee's outfield trio in Friday's series opener.

Brewers' Luis Pena: Kicking off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Pena (illness) will begin a rehab assignment with the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Pena hasn't played since April 22, when he collapsed in the dugout at High-A Wisconsin after becoming overheated. It shouldn't be long before Pena rejoins the active roster at Wisconsin, where he's slashed .372/.462/.512 in 12 games this season.
Priester (shoulder) was charged with five earned runs on five hits and three walks over three innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Priester resumed a rehab assignment last weekend at High-A Wisconsin, yielding seven runs in 1.1 frames. The results were a bit better Thursday, but it's all relative, as Priester continues to look like a pitcher who's not close to being ready to face major-league hitters. Priester averaged 92.2 miles per hour with his sinker -- down 1.7 mph from last season -- and he induced only four whiffs and two strikeouts. The righty should make another rehab start next week and will hope to take a step forward then.

Brewers' Jett Williams: Taking off at Triple-A
Rotowire
Williams went 27-for-83 (.325) with four home runs, 17 RBI, six steals and a 15:19 BB:K over his last 23 games with Triple-A Nashville.
Williams hit just .186 over his first 22 games with Nashville, but he has gotten going in a big way since. Williams is solidifying his status as one of the top prospects in a loaded Milwaukee system, and he may not have much left to prove at the Triple-A level.
Brewers' William Contreras: Three hits in win Wednesday
Rotowire
Contreras went 3-for-4 with three singles, one walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Cubs.
It was Contreras' third multi-hit game in his last four contests, and he's now logged multiple hits in seven of 20 games over the last month. Contreras is on a six-game hitting streak, and while the power numbers haven't been there, the catcher remains an on-base machine that doesn't strike out much. On the season, Contreras is slashing .294/.366/.389 with three home runs, 27 RBI, 26 runs scored and a 20:23 BB:K across 202 plate appearances.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Dominates Cubs with 11 Ks in win
Rotowire
Harrison (5-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing two hits and one walk with 11 strikeouts across seven shutout innings.
Harrison allowed a leadoff double to Nico Hoerner to begin his night but then set down 15 straight Cubs at one point, cruising to his fifth victory of the season. Harrison has shown flashes of dominance in 2026 and generated an elite 41 percent whiff rate against Chicago. It was his second start with double-digit strikeouts this season after he'd accomplished the feat just twice in 37 starts across the previous three campaigns. He entered play Wednesday in the 91st percentile in strikeout rate, and that number is only going to improve after this masterclass. Harrison now owns a 1.77 ERA and 59:14 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Cardinals at home next week.

Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Managing back tightness
Rotowire
Mitchell was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cubs due to back tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Mitchell said after the game that his removal was precautionary, and he didn't seem too concerned about it becoming a serious issue. He'll have a chance to rest and recover during the Brewers' day off Thursday, which could help him return to the starting nine for Friday's series opener against the Dodgers. If Milwaukee elects to hold him out, Blake Perkins would be in line for a start in the outfield.
