The Brewers optioned Sproat to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Sproat had been recalled earlier this week, and he was wild in his lone appearance Wednesday against the Cubs, walking four while being charged with four runs over 1.1 innings. The Brewers will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Friday's game against the Reds.

Doyle was removed from a start at Double-A Springfield on Wednesday due to a blister on his pitching hand, Benjamin Hochman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Manager Patrick Anderson said after the contest that Doyle is "going to be fine," and he believes the left-hander will pitch again this season. Doyle was charged with two runs on one hit and two walks with five strikeouts over five-plus innings Wednesday before exiting. The top prospect is finishing off his first full pro season in style, collecting a 1.73 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 59:25 K:BB over 52 innings covering his last 10 starts.

Gonsolin (elbow) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two over five scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Gonsolin kept the opposition off the board in his third rehab start, throwing 42 of 64 pitches for strikes. The right-hander joined the Royals on Aug. 13 after going unsigned much of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace that he underwent in August 2025. Gonsolin is scheduled for another rehab outing Sunday, per MLB.com, and if all goes well, he could make his Kansas City debut the following time he takes the mound after that point.

Stone (shoulder/biceps) resumed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, allowing three runs over two-thirds of an inning.

Stone went two weeks in between rehab appearances as he recovered from a minor biceps issue. He had pitched tremendously in his first four minor-league outings prior to Wednesday, yielding just two runs with an 18:1 K:BB in 11.2 frames. If he can rediscover that form, Stone could help the Dodgers down the stretch. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2024 after undergoing shoulder surgery in October of that year and then experiencing a setback this spring.

Lowder (6-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Lowder gave up five extra-base hits (four doubles and a home run) during his short start. He looks to be running out of steam late in the season, having given up 25 runs (23 earned) across 25 innings over his last five games. Lowder is at a 5.81 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 94:49 K:BB across 119.1 innings through 26 outings (23 starts) this year. He is tentatively projected for a home rematch versus the Dodgers next week.

Yamamoto (13-8) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out 10 over seven innings to earn the win over the Reds on Wednesday.

Yamamoto limited the damage to an Elly De La Cruz solo home run in the fourth inning. This victory snapped a three-start winless stretch for Yamamoto, who continues to be among the most reliable starters in baseball. This was his third double-digit strikeout performance of the year. He has pitched to a 2.62 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 171:39 K:BB through 172 innings over 26 starts. Yamamoto is lined up to make his next start in a rematch at Cincinnati next week.

Soroka (8-5) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Royals.

Soroka threw 34 of 58 pitches for strikes, but he was tagged for a three-run home run by Bobby Witt in the fifth inning, which was the difference in the game. The right-hander was more efficient than Zac Gallen, who started the game and threw 68 pitches (42 strikes). Soroka has a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 95:25 K:BB across 99.1 innings this season. Arizona's pitching plans are not yet clear for next week, but considering his pitch count, it's possible the 29-year-old work in a piggyback again if the team opts not to expand its rotation to six starters.

Gallen allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out one over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Wednesday.

Gallen threw 42 of 68 pitches for strikes in his first big-league action in two months after an absence due to right elbow inflammation. The right-hander struggled heavily prior to his stint on the injured list, and it remains to be seen how he'll fare against a tougher opponent. On the year, he has a 6.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 62:33 K:BB with 19 home runs allowed across 101.1 innings. He worked in tandem with Michael Soroka for this game, but it's unclear how the workload will be set when this spot in the rotation comes up against Miami next week.

Henderson (10-3) allowed one unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out six over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Wednesday.

Henderson threw 65 of 95 pitches for strikes in another strong performance. His run of six straight quality starts came to an end with the shorter outing, but he's still allowed just 11 runs (10 earned) over 44.1 innings since the start of August. The 24-year-old is at a 2.34 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 99:15 K:BB through 88.1 innings over 16 starts this season. Henderson is projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.

Gausman (9-12) allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over four innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Wednesday.

Gausman wasn't able to match his performance from last week against Milwaukee, when he surrendered just one run over seven frames. He was tagged for a trio of home runs over the first two innings Wednesday, accounting for six of the seven runs on his line. This was the third time in seven starts with the Cubs that Gausman has failed to complete five frames, and he's been charged with five or more runs three times in that span as well. Overall, he has a 4.60 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 171:46 K:BB through 166.1 innings over 30 starts between the Cubs and the Blue Jays. The right-hander's next projected start is another tough one at home versus Atlanta next week.
