Drew Rom - Erased from 40-man roster The Brewers designated Rom for assignment Sunday.

Impact Rom will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to outfielder Ji Hwan Bae, who signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers earlier Sunday before being elevated to the big leagues after Cooper Pratt (hamstring) moved to the injured list in a corresponding move. A 26-year-old lefty, Rom was previously up for two stints in the majors earlier this season, logging a 3.18 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 5.2 innings over five relief appearances.

Ji Hwan Bae - Signs with Milwaukee The Brewers signed Bae to a minor-league contract and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Bae was part of the Brewers' taxi squad to begin the day but ended up being activated after shortstop Cooper Pratt (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list shortly before first pitch. With Pratt on the shelf, Joey Ortiz (neck) and David Hamilton are expected to serve as the Brewers' main options at shortstop, while Bae will bolster the club's bench. The 27-year-old has seen big-league action in each of the previous four seasons but had spent the entire 2026 campaign at the Triple-A level in the Mets organization before he was released earlier this month. Bae produced a .257/.360/.368 slash line with five home runs and 36 steals in 91 games at Triple-A and made starts at second base and all three outfield positions.

Joey Ortiz - Out Sunday, viewed as day-to-day Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins due to an upper-back injury and is considered day-to-day, Hunter Baumgardt of Fo...

Impact Ortiz was forced out of Saturday's 4-3 win early due to the injury, but his back issue is considered less of a concern than the hamstring strain fellow infielder Cooper Pratt sustained in the same game. With the Brewers moving Pratt to the injured list Sunday, Ortiz could end up settling in as the team's primary option at shortstop once he moves past the back problem. David Hamilton will cover shortstop Sunday while Andrew Vaughn makes his second career MLB start at third base.

Kyle Harrison - Good to start Tuesday Harrison (calves) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Impact The left-hander departed his previous start Wednesday versus Pittsburgh after five scoreless frames due to bilateral calf cramps, but he's ready to make his next turn through the rotation. That start was Harrison's first after a month-long absence due to forearm issues, so the club may continue to be a bit cautious with his workload for his next couple outings.

Cooper Pratt - Heads to IL with hamstring strain The Brewers placed Pratt on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.

Impact Brewers manager Pat Murphy disclosed that Pratt was set to undergo an MRI on Sunday after experiencing hamstring discomfort during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Twins. While the results of Pratt's imaging aren't yet available, the Brewers determined that the rookie's hamstring injury was enough of a concern to keep him out for the next week and a half. David Hamilton will draw the start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale, and he and Joey Ortiz (neck) will likely serve as the Brewers' primary options at the position while Pratt is on the shelf.

Christian Yelich - Not in Sunday's lineup Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Yelich started the previous six games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-23 with eight strikeouts during that span. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter, which allows Gary Sanchez to pick up a start behind the plate.

Garrett Mitchell - Sitting amid slump Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Mitchell started the previous 12 contests and will receive a day off amid a 5-for-53 slump, which has dropped his OPS 70 points to .763. Brandon Lockridge is instead starting in center field Sunday for the Brewers.

Impact The rookie shortstop felt some discomfort during Saturday's contest and believes he could play Sunday, but the club will instead play it safe and send him for medical imaging. Pratt should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated. David Hamilton is shifting to shortstop Sunday while Andrew Vaughn receives a start at third base.

Andrew Vaughn - Making rare start at third base Vaughn will start at third base and bat third in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Vaughn has previously logged 10 total innings at third base across six games this season, but he'll be making his first start at the position Sunday since the 2021 campaign. He's unlikely to emerge as a regular option at the hot corner, as Vaughn appears to be drawing the start merely because Joey Ortiz (neck) isn't available and David Hamilton is covering shortstop in place of a resting Cooper Pratt.

Trevor Megill - Dispatches Twins for 21st save Megill secured the save against the Twins on Saturday, throwing a clean ninth inning.

Impact Megill nearly retired the side on a minimal workload, needing a mere four pitches to record the game's final three outs. The hard-throwing right-hander has cemented himself as Milwaukee's closer, last blowing a save June 5 in Colorado. Through 44.1 innings, Megill sports a 2.64 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 51:11 K:BB with 21 saves in 23 attempts.

Robert Gasser - Shaky in no-decision Gasser took a no-decision against the Twins on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Minnesota did its damage in the second inning, plate each of its three runs on the evening during the second inning to leave Gasser with a poor showing overall. The southpaw is beginning to lose his control a bit as of late, walking multiple batters in back-to-back outings in August after issuing a lone free pass across his four July appearances altogether. Gasser has a 4.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB over 67 innings, making him a risky fantasy option against the Dodgers his next time out.

Impact Ortiz felt tightness in his neck during his first at-bat, leading to his removal later in the game. The 28-year-old will receive an MRI to assess the extent of the damage. Manager Pat Murphy said the injury is located in his lower neck, closer to his scapula.

Joey Ortiz - Departs game early Saturday Ortiz left Saturday's game against Minnesota early due to neck tightness, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Impact Ortiz left Saturday's affair after just one at-bat, which resulted in a strikeout, due to neck tightness. The 28-year-old was taken out of the game in the top of the fourth inning and replaced by David Hamilton at third base. If Ortiz is to miss time, look for Hamilton and Cooper Pratt to see action in the hot corner.
