Brewers' Jake Bauers: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
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.
