Added to lineup Tuesday Wiemer has been added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Wiemer will cover center field and bat ninth versus the Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober after Sam Frelick was scratched due to lingering right hamstring soreness. Wiemer is slashing just .215/.290/.379 across his first 115 major-league games this year and has seen a significant dip in playing time in recent weeks.

Playing time trending down Wiemer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Wiemer has operated as Milwaukee's primary center fielder for most of the season, but he'll sit Sunday for the sixth time in the past eight games, with both of those starts coming against left-handed pitchers. It appears the 24-year-old will now have to settle for a spot on the small side of a platoon in center field. Sal Frelick is dealing with a hamstring injury, so it'll be Christian Yelich, Tyrone Taylor and Mark Canha starting from left to right in the outfield.

Sitting Saturday Wiemer isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

Impact After starting nearly every game for Milwaukee for most of the season, Wiemer will take a seat for the fifth time in the Brewers' last seven games. Sal Frelick will start in center field instead while Tyrone Taylor plays in right.

Impact Tuesday will mark the third consecutive game Wiemer hasn't started in despite boasting a .296 batting average (8-for-27) since the beginning of August. Sal Frelick will slide to center field in Wiemer's place, allowing Tyrone Taylor to start in right and bat ninth.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Wiemer isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Wiemer (illness) is starting in center field and batting ninth Friday against the White Sox.

Impact A stomach bug prevented Wiemer from playing Wednesday against the Rockies, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's contest. The 24-year-old outfielder is slashing .304/.360/.348 with three RBI and two runs scored since the beginning of August.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits due to stomach ailment Wiemer was scratched from the Brewers lineup Wednesday against the Rockies due to a stomach virus, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Wiemer is one of two Brewers regulars sitting out Wednesday due to an illness, as Carlos Santana will hit the bench for a second straight game. It's unclear whether Wiemer and Santana are dealing with the same type of ailment, but in any case, the Brewers are hopeful that both players will show enough improvement in their respective recoveries to rejoin the starting lineup following Thursday's team off day. Blake Perkins will pick up the start in center field Wednesday in Wiemer's stead.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from starting nine The Brewers scratched Wiemer from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to an unspecified issue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Blake Perkins will replace Wiemer in the starting nine in center field and as the Brewers' No. 9 hitter. The Brewers will likely provide an explanation for why Wiemer was scratched from the lineup later Wednesday.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will get breather Wiemer is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Wiemer has done a fair amount of hitting in recent weeks, but he has not handled right-handers well all season, and he will be held out Monday with righty Peter Lambert on the mound for the Rockies. Sal Frelick will man center field in Wiemer's place.

Out of Sunday's lineup Wiemer is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Impact Wiemer started the past five games after sitting twice last weekend, and he'll return to the bench Sunday after going 4-for-17 with a double, three RBI and a run during that stretch. Blake Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth.

Sitting in second straight Wiemer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Wiemer is on the bench for a second straight day, with Adam McCalvy of MLB.com relaying that the consecutive absences fall in the category of a baseball decision rather than the outfielder dealing with an unreported injury. Though he already looks like one of the better defensive center fielders in the majors, the rookie's production at the plate has slipped of late. Since the start of July, Wiemer is slashing .200/.333/.300 with two extra-base hits in 16 games.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Wiemer will sit Saturday against Atlanta.

Impact Sal Frelick was called up for the first time Saturday and could cut into Wiemer's playing time going forward, though he'll be right field on this occasion while Blake Perkins takes Wiemer's spot in center. Wiemer's strong defense in center field means he's been a productive enough player despite his .207/.292/.386 slash line (84 wRC+), but as the Brewers' outfield gets more crowded, he'll need to avoid a further dip at the plate if he's to remain a regular.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Thursday Wiemer is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Philadelphia.

Impact He'll take a seat in favor of Blake Perkins, who gets the start in center field. Wiemer is just 2-for-15 so far at the plate in the second half.

Not starting Saturday Wiemer will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Wiemer has shown some encouraging signs this season, and his 11 homers and 10 steals through 80 games have helped prop up his fantasy value, but things have been trending in the wrong direction for him in recent weeks. Since June 9, he's hit .136/.246/.322 in 19 games while striking out 36.2 percent of the time. He'll get a rest Saturday with Blake Perkins taking over in center field.

In lineup after HBP Wiemer (hand) is starting in center field and batting ninth Thursday versus the Mets.

Impact Wiemer took a pitch off his left hand late in Wednesday's victory, but X-rays came back negative and he won't wind up missing any action. The 24-year-old has tallied 11 homers and 10 stolen bases across his first 78 major-league games this season with Milwaukee.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

X-rays come back negative X-rays taken of Wiemer's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's win over the Mets, MLB.com reports.

Impact Wiemer remained in the contest after being plunked by an Adam Ottavino offering in the eighth inning before being sent for precautionary X-rays after the game, which came back clean. It's possible the outfielder will get a day of rest if he's sore, but he's managed to avoid any broken bones.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits go-ahead homer Wiemer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Wiemer's two-run shot off Drew Smith in the sixth provided all the run support Milwaukee's pitching staff needed Monday night. Overall, the rookie's numbers don't look great, but he picked things up in June and is slashing .266/.337/.570 with six home runs, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 14 runs scored over his last 24 games. Wiemer has a unique skill set that bodes well for fantasy production, but he's been a hit-or-miss player so far. Regardless, he figures to see regular playing time as long as Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) are on the injured list.
