Getting rare start Thursday Bauers will start at first base and bat fifth in Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact Bauers made the Brewers' Opening Day roster after attending spring training on a minor-league deal, but after making 77 starts in 117 games for Milwaukee in 2024, the 29-year-old has had his playing time scaled back considerably in 2025. He'll be making just his sixth start through the Brewers' first 26 games of the season Thursday, as Milwaukee has leaned much more heavily on Rhys Hoskins at first base and Christian Yelich at designated hitter to clear off Bauers' main paths to playing time. Bauers has produced well in his limited opportunities thus far, popping two home runs and stealing a base while posting a .939 OPS through his first 29 plate appearances.

Promotion official The Brewers selected Bauers' contract from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Impact After producing a .199/.301/.361 slash line with 12 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 346 plate appearances for the Brewers in 2024, Bauers elected free agency following the season and re-signed with Milwaukee on a minor-league deal. He emerged from spring training with a roster spot after producing a .939 OPS in Cactus League play, but Bauers could struggle to see the extended playing time he received with the Brewers in 2024 unless injuries test Milwaukee's depth at first base and in the outfield. Bauers is on the bench for Thursday's season opener versus the Yankees.

Makes Opening Day roster Bauers has made the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bauers re-signed with the Brewers on a minor-league contract over the offseason and has managed to crack the Opening Day roster after putting up a .939 OPS with three home runs over 15 games this spring. He will see occasional starts between first base and designated hitter.

Good chance to make roster Bauers has a good chance of making the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Bauers elected free agency after being removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster in November but found his way back to the club on a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. Rhys Hoskins will open the season at the top of the Brewers' depth chart at first base, but there's not much behind him at the position and Hoskins should also see time at designated hitter. Bauers hit .199 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate in 2024 but did swat 12 homers and steal 13 bases in 116 games.

Re-signs on NRI deal The Brewers re-signed Bauers to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bauers elected free agency after being removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster in November, but he's found his way back to the club as a non-roster invitee. The 29-year-old slashed .199/.301/.361 with 12 homers and 13 steals over 116 games in 2024 and will compete for a reserve role in spring training.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
