Garrett Mitchell - Two swipes in win Mitchell went 0-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Mitchell is still hitless in August, going 0-for-15 with four walks, eight strikeouts and three steals over five games this month. The outfielder is now 11-for-16 on the basepaths this season. His recent slump has him down to a .257 average and .773 OPS, and he's added eight home runs, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored, 23 doubles and three triples over 103 contests. Mitchell continues to work primarily in a strong-side platoon role, though his playing time has been steady lately since the Brewers have faced just three left-handed starters (one being an opener) since the All-Star break.

Christian Yelich - Logs 10th steal Yelich went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Yelich had been held hitless over his first three games in August, and this was his first multi-hit effort since July 22 versus the Mets. The 34-year-old logged his 10th steal of the season, reaching double digits in thefts for the fifth year in a row and the 11th time in his 14-season career. Yelich has added a .234 average, .694 OPS, seven home runs, 38 RBI, 46 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 77 contests in 2026.

William Contreras - Homers in Wednesday's win Contreras went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Contreras ended a 13-game homer drought with his long ball in the sixth inning to provide the Brewers' last run. The catcher has gone 11-for-54 (.204) over his last 14 contests, a rare quiet stretch for him. Overall, he's batting .270 with a .733 OPS, 11 homers, 48 RBI, 56 runs scored, 17 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 106 games.

Trevor Megill - Reaches 20-save mark Megill struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Megill picked up his second save in as many days and his third since the start of August. The right-hander threw seven of 12 pitches for strikes to get this conversion, making him the 12th reliever to reach 20 saves this season. He's maintained a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 51:11 K:BB through 43.1 innings on the year. Aaron Ashby or DL Hall would be the top options for an ancillary save chance since the Brewers' bullpen is likely to be shorthanded Thursday, as Megill, Antonio Senzatela and Abner Uribe have all pitched consecutive days.

Impact The 24-year-old lefty will make his return to the Milwaukee rotation after missing just under four weeks while recovering from left forearm extensor tendinopathy. Harrison covered 5.2 innings and 68 pitches during his lone rehab start at High-A Wisconsin last Thursday, so he should be capable of handling something close to a normal workload as he takes the hill for the Brewers for the first time since July 8.
