Goes deep during loss Monasterio went 3-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base during Tuesday's loss to Colorado.

Impact Monasterio was slashing just .174/.296/.217 during August heading into Tuesday's contest, but he was finally able to break out of his slump against the Rockies. The 26-year-old infielder has never hit more than nine home runs in a season throughout his professional career, so his seventh-inning blast off Kyle Freeland isn't something that should be expected from Monasterio going forward. However, he's demonstrated an excellent ability to get on base with a .367 OBP through 158 plate appearances.

Reaches four times in win Monasterio went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and a steal in Monday's victory over the Reds.

Impact The 26-year-old reached the majors for the first time this year, and he has proven to be a valuable utility player, posting a .292 batting average and .382 OBP over 102 PA while making at least five starts at each of the three infield positions left of first base. He is not doing a lot for fantasy players outside of the batting average category, but he is getting regular playing time at the moment, starting nine straight games at the hot corner.

Serving as everyday third baseman Monasterio will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Phillies.

Impact With Brian Anderson (back) recently joining Rowdy Tellez (forearm) on the 10-day injured list, the Brewers have turned to Owen Miller and Monasterio as their primary options at the two corner-infield spots. Monasterio will man the hot corner for the fifth game in a row after going 4-for-14 with a double, a walk, three runs and two RBI over the previous four contests.

Getting start at third base Monasterio is starting at third base and batting sixth on Monday versus the Cubs.

Impact With Brian Anderson going on paternity leave, Monasterio will be the first to fill in at the hot corner. It's the first start at third base at the major-league level for the 26-year-old.

In Monday's lineup Monasterio (head) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact Monasterio exited Sunday's 5-1 win early after being hit in the head on a tag play, but his removal from the contest was described as precautionary. The rookie's presence in the lineup a day later seemingly supports that sentiment, but Monasterio's playing time is soon expected to take a hit. Willy Adames (concussion) looks on track to return from the 7-day injured list Thursday, which will likely leave Monasterio as the odd man out of the Milwaukee infield.

Exits Sunday's game Monasterio was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with an apparent head injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The 25-year-old took a shot to the face while making a tag on a pickoff throw during the third inning, and he was replaced by a pinch hitter after initially remaining in the contest. Monasterio clubbed his first big-league homer during the opening frame to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead.

Called up to big leagues The Brewers selected Monasterio's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact The 25-year-old will get his first taste of the majors, replacing Willy Adames (concussion) on the active roster, after spending nearly a decade in the minor leagues between four different organizations. Monasterio has displayed a discerning eye at the plate with more walks (32) than strikeouts (29) so far this season, and he can run a little as evidenced by his 11 steals through 42 games. However, it remains to be seen exactly what his role will be with the big club.
