Bauers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-0 victory over the Phillies.
After striking out in all four of his plate appearances Wednesday in Sacramento, Bauers got back on track in Friday's series opener with his career-high 13th long ball of the season in the fifth inning to give Milwaukee a 5-0 lead. The 30-year-old also has 46 RBI and 40 runs scored with a .905 OPS in 234 plate appearances as he continues a breakout campaign.
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Punches out 15 in CGSO
Rotowire
Misiorowski (8-2) struck out 15 and earned the win Friday against the Phillies, giving up one hit and no walks in a complete game shutout.
The only baserunner the flamethrowing righty allowed came on a fourth-inning single by Kyle Schwarber, who was then wiped out by a double play. Misiorowski was dominant in every sense of the word, throwing 74 of 95 pitches for strikes while generating a whopping 26 whiffs. The 24-year-old has surrendered just one earned run and 19 hits over his past eight starts (54.1 innings), and he has an 80:9 K:BB during that span.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Side no longer an issue
Rotowire
Megill (oblique) gave up one hit and struck out two batters during a scoreless inning Wednesday against the Athletics.
Megill had been unavailable out of the bullpen earlier in the week due to oblique tightness, but a few days of rest were all he needed to return to full health. The 32-year-old reliever owns a 4.50 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 24 frames this season, but he's given up just two runs and struck out 12 batters in his last nine innings.

Brewers' Craig Yoho: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Yoho will return to the Brewers' bullpen to fill the void left by Coleman Crow, who landed on the injured list Friday with a forearm strain. Yoho has allowed one run and struck out five batters in three innings with the big club this season and will likely work in middle relief as long as he's in the majors.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Crow on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with a right forearm flexor strain.
Crow pitched two shutout innings during his last outing Tuesday against the A's, but he appears to have come away from his appearance with forearm problems. He'll be forced to miss at least the next two weeks as a result, and the Brewers will recall Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville to fill the open spot in their bullpen.

Brewers' Coleman Crow: Shifts to bullpen
Rotowire
Crow permitted one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings of relief Tuesday in the Brewers' 7-5 loss to the Athletics.
After he had made his first four big-league appearances as a starter, Crow shifted to the bullpen this week while Milwaukee elected to move forward with Robert Gasser and Shane Drohan as the back-end members of the five-man rotation. Though Crow fared well in his first relief outing, the Brewers aren't likely to pull the plug on developing him as a starter just yet. With that in mind, Crow could sent back to Triple-A Nashville in the near future so that he can continue working out of the rotation.
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Returned from rehab assignment
Rotowire
The Brewers returned Priester (shoulder) from his rehab assignment at the Arizona Complex League on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Priester has struggled to gain any sort of momentum during his rehab outings, posting a 21.60 ERA in 10 innings between Triple-A and High-A, and more recently giving up three earned runs on one hit and five walks in 2.2 innings during his latest appearance in rookie ball. It's unknown what his next steps will be now that his rehab assignment has been paused, but he doesn't appear to be anywhere near a return to Milwaukee's rotation.

Brewers' Lyon Richardson: Nabs MiLB pact with Brewers
Rotowire
The Brewers signed Richardson to a minor-league contract Thursday, Jim Goulart of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Richardson elected free agency last week after being booted off the Reds' 40-man roster. The 26-year-old holds a career 6.67 ERA and 46:39 K:BB over 56.2 innings covering parts of four seasons at the major-league level. Richardson will report to the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate for now but should move up to Triple-A Nashville soon.

Brewers' Gary Sanchez: Knocks seventh homer
Rotowire
Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.
Sanchez collected his second multi-hit effort in a row. It's also his second straight game with a homer after he went 27 contests between long balls, during which he had a .576 OPS. The backup catcher is batting .219 with an .845 OPS, seven homers, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored, four doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 130 plate appearances this season. While his power looks to be coming back, Sanchez is no real threat to William Contreras' playing time.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Homers again Wednesday
Rotowire
Chourio went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.
Chourio went deep for his second homer in as many games. The outfielder has collected six multi-hit efforts over 10 games in June, batting .386 (17-for-44) this month. He's up to six homers, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored, five stolen bases and 11 doubles while hitting .304 with an .872 OPS across 32 contests this season.

Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Submits second quality start
Rotowire
Sproat allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Wednesday.
Sproat was able to navigate Las Vegas Ballpark with little trouble, with the lone run on his line being an Alika Williams solo shot in the sixth inning. This was just the second quality start of the year for Sproat, who had given up at least three runs in each of his previous five starts. For the season, he's at a 5.70 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 57:30 K:BB across 13 appearances (11 starts). Sproat is likely to get another turn through the rotation while the Brewers wait for Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) and Logan Henderson (back) to get healthy. That outing is tentatively projected to come at home versus the Guardians.
Mitchell isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Mitchell will get a chance to rest his legs Wednesday after going 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two runs during Tuesday's loss. Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick will start across the outfield while Mitchell is on the bench.

Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Resting up Wednesday
Rotowire
Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Rengifo will move to the bench to begin Wednesday's series finale after going 1-for-7 with two walks, a run and four strikeouts across the first two games. David Hamilton will shift to third base as a result, giving Joey Ortiz a start at shortstop.

Brewers' William Contreras: Sitting down Wednesday
Rotowire
Contreras isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Contreras will grab a seat on the bench after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Tuesday's loss. His absence will give Gary Sanchez a start behind home plate, batting sixth.

Brewers' Jared Koenig: Could return next week
Rotowire
Koenig (elbow) transferred his rehab assignment to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and could be activated from the injured list in about a week, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The left-hander landed on the shelf with an elbow sprain in early April and has allowed one run on six hits with a 2:4 K:BB across 4.2 frames in five rehab appearances. The Brewers will likely look to pitch Koenig on back-to-back days at Nashville before reinstating him from the IL.
Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Throws 68 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Woodruff (shoulder) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over 3.2 innings in his first rehab start with the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday.
The bottom-line results aren't what you want, but Woodruff did strike out five and got his pitch count up to 68. Per Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com, Woodruff averaged a shade under 91 mph between his four-seamer and sinker, which is down from his season average of 92.2 mph but up significantly from the mid-80s he was throwing in his final start before going on the injured list in late April. Woodruff is working on a lower arm slot, and he might need a couple more rehab outings to get comfortable before he rejoins the Milwaukee rotation.
