Yelich a welcome sight in return to lineup as Crew looks ahead to Wrigley MINNEAPOLIS -- Christian Yelich announced his return to the Brewers lineup with authority, just in time for a looming showdown with the riva...
Sal Frelick - Two knocks, two steals in loss Frelick went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
Impact Frelick hasn't run as much this season -- he picked up his second and third steals of the year after going 19-for-25 on the basepaths in the 2025 regular season. The outfielder is batting .250 (13-for-52) over 14 contests in May, with his double Sunday being his first extra-base hit of the month. Overall, he's batting .224 with a .614 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored and three doubles across 161 plate appearances as Milwaukee's starting right fielder.

Garrett Mitchell - Goes yard in loss Mitchell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
Impact Mitchell homered in the fourth inning off Bailey Ober. Across seven games after returning from an illness, Mitchell has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with three extra-base hits, two RBI, one stolen base and a 1:11 BB:K. The outfielder continues to see strong-side platoon work in center field. He's batting .223 with a .700 OPS, two homers, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored, six stolen bases, eight doubles and one triple over 147 plate appearances this season.

Christian Yelich - Homers in return Yelich (back) went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.
Impact The injury bug has already had a couple of bites at Yelich this year after a groin strain sent him to the injured list and back soreness cost him four games just after his return. The veteran may need some days off in the near term to avoid aggravating the back, which has been a troublesome area for him in the past. This season, he's batting .283 with a .788 OPS, two homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases, two doubles and a triple over 65 plate appearances, which shows he can still contribute in fantasy if his body cooperates.

Robert Gasser - Shaky pitching in season debut Gasser allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits, two walks and three hit batsmen while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.
Impact Gasser made his fist big-league start of the season, but it wasn't a particularly good showing. He's now plunked eight batters over eight big-league appearances in his career. Prior to his call-up, he posted a 3.74 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings over six starts with Triple-A Nashville. The strikeout potential is there, but he still has control issues to work through as he builds up in his first full season following Tommy John surgery in June of 2024.

Ryan Jeffers - Pops seventh homer Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Impact Jeffers put the Twins ahead 4-3 in the fifth inning with his solo shot. The catcher hasn't been quite as dominant at the plate in May as he was in April, but he's still batting .275 (11-for-40) with three homers, six RBI and an 8:6 BB:K over 12 contests this month. Overall, he's hitting .294 with a .948 OPS, seven homers, 26 RBI, 25 runs scored, one stolen base, six doubles and a triple through 36 games.

Luis García - Snags save Sunday Garcia allowed a run on two hits and a walk and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Impact Garcia made things interesting, but he was able to maintain a lead. He's picked up two saves and a hold over his last four outings, though he's allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in that span as well. That usage suggests he's in the mix for ancillary save chances -- that was the case Sunday, as Justin Topa worked a high-leverage spot in the eighth inning while Eric Orze was presumably unavailable after a 26-pitch outing Saturday. Through 15 innings this season, Garcia has a 9.00 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 6:6 K:BB over 15 appearances. He's on his seventh team in the last four years, having joined the Twins in April after he was released by the Mets.
