Gasser will start for the Brewers on Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.
Gasser hasn't pitched in a game in nearly two weeks, but he was terrific down the stretch of the regular season for Milwaukee, posting a 1.67 ERA and 31:12 K:BB over 32.1 innings covering his final six appearances. The left-hander is stretched out to handle a normal starter's workload, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Brewers' bullpen is heavily involved in the gameplan for Game 4.
Brewers' William Contreras: Launches another homer
Rotowire
Contreras went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Tuesday.
The All-Star catcher did his part to try and eliminate the Friars with a three-hit showing, including a fourth-inning solo home run to start the scoring for Milwaukee. It's been a productive start to the playoffs for Contreras, who has gone 4-for-11 with two walks and two homers through three games. He should be back behind the plate again Wednesday as the Brewers look to punch their ticket to the NLCS.
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Settles down in first playoff start
Rotowire
Henderson didn't factor in the decision after giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits over five innings during Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday. He struck out four and walked three.
The rookie right-hander struggled a bit with his command early Sunday, as he issued three free passes and a wild pitch across the first two frames. However, Henderson mostly settled in from there and retired the next eight batters, though San Diego scratched across an unearned run in the fifth on a single and two infield errors. The 24-year-old illustrated strong command all year with just 19 walks across 98.1 regular-season innings, but it took him a bit to find his footing during his first postseason appearance. It was still a strong performance from Henderson, whose next start doesn't line up to come until the NLCS, should Milwaukee progress past San Diego.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Walks off Padres
Rotowire
Chourio went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday.
The 22-year-old outfielder came through in the clutch during the bottom of the ninth inning with a two-out, two-run single off All-Star closer Mason Miller to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 victory. Chourio clubbed a two-run homer in Game 1 on Saturday and has been the key offensive cog for the Brewers in the first two games of the series, driving in four of the team's seven runs. He's batted leadoff in both contests and is likely to stick there, with manager Pat Murphy looking to get the outfielder as many plate appearances as possible during the playoffs, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Lara is not in the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday.
The rookie outfielder went 0-for-3 with a walk in his playoff debut Saturday, but he'll take a seat for Game 2 versus San Diego ace Michael King. Sal Frelick will instead pick up a start in right field for Milwaukee while batting seventh.
