Haase remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Haase has started just once in the Brewers' last 12 games and is the clear No. 3 catcher on the roster behind All-Star William Contreras and Gary Sanchez. Until the Brewers formally clinch a spot in the postseason and their playoff seeding is locked in, Haase is unlikely to receive steady at-bats.

Conine went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Giants.

Conine put the Marlins on the board with a two-run shot to right field in his first at-bat, marking the first long ball of his major league career. The rookie outfielder has now hit safely in three of his first five games since being called up, batting .250 (4-for-16) over that brief stretch with three RBI and three runs scored. Three of Conine's four hits have gone for extra bases.

The Brewers recalled Hall from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Hall rejoined the Brewers in short order after he was briefly returned to the minors following his spot start in the second game of Friday's doubleheader with the Reds. Since he tossed seven scoreless innings for Milwaukee in the 14-0 win, Hall presumably won't be available for another couple of days, but once he's recovered from Friday's start, he'll likely operate as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. Milwaukee has a pair of off days coming up Thursday and Sept. 9, but with the club finishing the regular season with a stretch of 19 games in 20 days, it's possible that Hall picks up some starts as part of a six-man rotation.

Faucher picked up the save over the Giants on Saturday, hurling a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.

Faucher took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a 4-3 lead and got Patrick Bailey to fly out to center on the first pitch before retiring the final two batters by way of strikeout. It marked the right-hander's fifth save of the campaign -- all of which came in August, and he's now recorded multiple strikeouts in two of his last three appearances. Faucher appears to have a fairly firm grip on the closer job since Tanner Scott's departure, with Faucher's only blown save coming Aug. 2.

Black (0-2) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings while striking out six.

Black struck out three of the first four batters he faced in the contest before allowing three hits in the second, including a two-run homer off the bat of Griffin Conine. The rookie right-hander recovered nicely, however, hurling three consecutive scoreless from that point on until he was relieved by Taylor Rogers to open the sixth. Black's five innings on the mound marked a season high, as did his six strikeouts on the night. On the downside, he's now allowed a home run in all five of his outings this season.

The Brewers recalled Hicklen from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Signed to a minor-league deal over the winter, Hicklen received a spot on Milwaukee's 40-man roster over the All-Star break after he got off to a hot start to the season at Triple-A. The 28-year-old outfielder's production has slowed in the second half, but he still slashed .247/.364/.484 with 21 home runs and 42 stolen bases over 105 games with Nashville to earn the promotion to Milwaukee in September. The right-handed Hicklen will be put to work right away, as he'll start in right field and bat fifth while the Reds send southpaw Brandon Williamson to the hill. Hicklen could end up settling in as a regular platoon mate for the left-handed-hitting Sal Frelick in right.

Cabrera (3-6) earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out three.

Cabrera was shaky early on, issuing two walks in the first inning while needing 28 pitches to get through the frame. The right-hander was still able to get through the inning unscathed, however, and managed to keep the Giants off the scoreboard until the bottom of the fifth when he surrendered back-to-back hits with one out, followed by an RBI groundout from Mike Yastrzemski. Cabrera was then relieved by Xzavion Curry with two outs in the sixth, narrowly missing out on his fourth quality start of the season. The 26-year-old had a decent August, pitching to the tune of a 3.58 ERA while going 2-3. However, he's now issued multiple walks in nine consecutive starts and has posted three or fewer strikeouts in three of his last four.

Atlanta designated Logue for assignment Sunday.

The left-hander will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-handed reliever John Brebbia, whom Atlanta signed to a one-year deal Sunday. Logue was added to the roster in late July and was called up on two occasions by the big club, but he never made an appearance for Atlanta. He's been a standout performer as a swingman at Triple-A Gwinnett this season, logging a 2.68 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 86:27 K:BB across 90.2 innings.

Atlanta recalled White from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

The 30-year-old outfielder is one of two September call-ups for Atlanta, joining right-handed reliever John Brebbia. White has gotten on base at a .388 clip while popping eight home runs and going 24-for-26 on stolen-base attempts across 340 plate appearances for Gwinnett this season, but he saw sparse usage in his prior two stints with the big club in 2024. He'll likely be utilized mainly as a pinch runner or late-inning defensive replacement during the final month of the season.

Atlanta signed Brebbia to a one-year contract and added him to the active roster Sunday.

Brebbia posted a 6.29 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB while gathering 13 holds and two saves in 48.2 innings over his 54 appearances for the White Sox this season before being released by the club Thursday. Though he quickly found a home in Atlanta, he'll go from being one of the White Sox's top high-leverage arms to likely working in the middle innings with his new team. Even with A.J. Minter (hip) lost for the season, Atlanta still has several capable arms ahead of Brebbia in the pecking order to serve as setup options in front of closer Raisel Iglesias.
