Bauers is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cardinals.
The lefty-swinging Bauers will often play against lefty hurlers, but he'll begin Monday's series opener on the bench as St. Louis goes with southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the bump. Andrew Vaughn will occupy first base and Jackson Chourio will be in left field for the Brewers.

Rotowire
Bauers is on the bench for Thursday's matinee against the Padres.
Bauers went 1-for-4 with a double and two strikeouts in his start Wednesday against San Diego. The 30-year-old will come off the bench against the Padres despite San Diego starting right-hander Griffin Canning. Andrew Vaughn will bat fifth and start at first base today over Bauers.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Bauers will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Yankees send another left-hander to the bump in Carlos Rodon. Though Bauers has been a full-time player for most of the season, his exposure to same-handed pitching could become limited after the Brewers welcomed back two lineup regulars in Andrew Vaughn and Jackson Chourio.
Bauers went 3-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Marlins.
Bauers was a thorn in the Marlins' side all game, reaching base four times and notching his third steal of the season. It marked the first three-hit effort of the season for the 30-year-old, who's now slashing .254/.333/.525 with five homers, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored across 66 plate appearances. While he may sit against most lefties, Bauers should continue to see plenty of opportunities with injuries piling up for the Brewers.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Exiting lineup vs. lefty
Rotowire
Bauers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.
With southpaw Patrick Corbin on the hill for Toronto, the left-handed-hitting Bauers will head to the bench, marking the fifth time in six matchups with lefties this season that he's exited the lineup. Luis Rengifo will join the lineup for the series finale as a replacement for Bauers in what will be the former's first career start at first base.
Bauers went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run homer in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to Toronto.
Bauers was responsible for the first runs of Tuesday's game after belting a three-run homer off Kevin Gausman in the fourth inning. Bauers has gone long in three of his last four outings and is up to five homers on the season, which is tied for fifth most in the National League. He has gone 5-for-13 (.385) with seven RBI and three runs scored over his last four games.
Bauers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.
Bauers has had multiple hits in four of the 14 contests he's appeared in this season, including one Friday against the Nationals. All four of those games featured a home run from the 30-year-old, and Sunday was no different. He was one of three members of the Brewers to take Zack Littell deep, all of the solo variety. With Sunday's performance, Bauers is slashing .239/.300/.522 for the year with 10 RBI in 14 games played.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Provides only offense in loss
Rotowire
Bauers went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Nationals.
The Brewers recorded four hits as a team, so Bauers had half of those and reached base three times. After Milwaukee fell behind 2-0 in the top of the first, Bauers answered with a three-run shot in the bottom half of the inning. He later walked in the third and singled in the sixth. Bauers is slashing .225/.295/.475 with three home runs, nine RBI, eight runs scored, two stolen bases and a 4:10 BB:K across 44 plate appearances this season.
Bauers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a steal and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win versus the Rays.
The 30-year-old got the start Tuesday even though Tampa Bay sent out a southpaw in Shane McClanahan, against whom the lefty-hitting Bauers went 0-for-2. The first baseman got back on track once the Rays turned to the bullpen, however, as he reached on an infield single, stole second and scored in the sixth inning before launching a solo homer in the eighth. With Andrew Vaughn (wrist) expected to be sidelined until mid-May after undergoing hamate bone surgery, Bauers should be a lineup regular for the time being, especially if he can build upon his hot start to 2026.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sitting against southpaw
Rotowire
Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Bauers went 3-for-10 with a home run, three RBI and two additional runs through the Brewers' first two contests of the season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday against southpaw Anthony Kay. Especially while Andrew Vaughn (hand) and Jackson Chourio (hand) are on the shelf, Bauers should have a clear runway to regular playing time against right-handed pitching.
