Headed to Kansas City The Reds traded Wiemer to the Royals on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Wiemer went just 4-for-26 with nine strikeouts in 21 big-league games played between Milwaukee and Cincinnati last season. His performance in the minors wasn't great either, as he slashed .189/.277/.226 in 119 plate appearances with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate after being traded at the deadline. Once regarded as a top prospect in the Brewers' farm system, the 25-year-old Wiemer will look to turn things around with the Royals, though he will likely report to Triple-A Omaha.

Heads back to minors The Reds optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Wiemer was with the big club for a few days while Will Benson was on paternity leave but will now head back to the minors with Benson back in the fold. The former Brewer drew a walk in his lone plate appearance with the Reds.

Called up to big leagues The Reds recalled Wiemer from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact Acquired Monday as part of the deal that sent right-hander Frankie Montas to Milwaukee, Wiemer will get the chance to make his Reds debut as he joins the team ahead of its series finale with the Giants. Wiemer likely won't be in line for a long-term stay in Cincinnati, however, as fellow outfielder Will Benson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move and will be away from the team for only 1-to-3 games. The 25-year-old outfielder has spent the bulk of the season at the Triple-A level, slashing .230/.371/.340 with three home runs and seven stolen bases in 55 games between Nashville and Louisville.

The outfielder has compiled a .224 average with three home runs, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored and six stolen bases over 236 plate appearances in 53 games with Triple-A Nashville this season. Wiemer will likely report to Triple-A Louisville with his new organization.

Cracks roster for WC Series Wiemer is part of the Brewers' roster for their Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Wiemer finished out the regular season with Triple-A Nashville, but the Brewers have opted to carry seven different outfielders into this best-of-three series versus Arizona. The 24-year-old could serve as a late-inning defensive replacement or maybe even a pinch-hitting option against lefties. He posted an .815 OPS against southpaws this year at the MLB level.

Sent back to Triple-A Wiemer was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Impact Wiemer operated as Milwaukee's primary center fielder earlier this season, but he's worked in a reserve role of late and has a .483 OPS in 61 at-bats since the start of August. Blake Perkins (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Joins lineup Monday Wiemer (mouth) will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Wiemer suffered a mouth laceration when he was involved in a collision in the outfield during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees in 13 innings, but the injury won't be anything that keeps the rookie out as the Brewers begin a four-game set with Miami. Though he's largely served as a late-inning defensive replacement in recent weeks, Wiemer will pick up his first start since Sept. 3 on Monday.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with laceration in mouth Wiemer sustained a laceration in his mouth on a collision during Sunday's game against the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wiemer entered Sunday's matchup as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth inning and went 1-for-1 with a double, a run and an RBI in the extra-innings loss. He sustained his injury on an outfield collision, but it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against Miami.

Sitting out Wednesday Wiemer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Twins.

Impact Wiemer was a late addition to Tuesday's lineup in what is now his lone start over the Brewers' last four games. He's seen a dramatic dip in playing time over the last two weeks as Milwaukee turns to Sal Frelick in center field and Tyrone Taylor in right. Frelick is dealing with a hamstring injury, though, which could potentially offer a reprieve for Wiemer if an injury list stint is ultimately needed.
