Lazaro Montes (hip) returns to Tuesday’s lineup

He was certainly deserving of the honor. Bauers had a legendary at-bat to wear down Yoshinobu Yamamoto and spark the Brewers’ comeback in Game 2. He then swatted a go-ahead homer after a long battle against Blake Snell in Game 3 and chipped in three RBI during the series-clinching victory in Game 4. He hit .412 with a homer and six RBI during the four-game sweep. It’s an outstanding accomplishment for the 31-year-old journeyman who pondered retirement last offseason.

Ashby took over in the seventh inning with the Brewers clinging to a 5-4 lead. He allowed a leadoff double to Andy Pages, who then advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt with one out. Ashby battled back though, striking out Shohei Ohtani and then getting Mookie Betts on a ground out to end the threat. He faced a similar situation in the eighth as Will Smith smacked a one-out double and advanced to third on an error. Ashby again came through, getting Kyle Tucker on a shallow fly ball to center before retiring Teoscar Hernandez on strikes. The 28-year-old southpaw then worked a perfect ninth inning to close it out and punch the Brewers’ ticket to the World Series for the first time since 1982.

The Brewers fell behind early in this one as the Dodgers scored four times in the home half of the second inning. They never quit though. Bauers got the comeback started with a two-run double off of Tyler Glasnow in the fourth inning. He then worked a bases-loaded walk to bring in the tying run during a two-run uprising in the fifth inning. He has been an absolute menace in the batter’s box this postseason and a big reason why the Brewers will have a chance to bring home their first World Series Title.

After falling behind 4-0 early in the ballgame, Mitchell completed the Brewers’ epic comeback with a 409-foot (105.2-mph EV) solo shot off of left-hander Tanner Scott in the sixth inning, giving the Brewers their first lead at 5-4. That would be all the offense that they would need. The 28-year-old outfielder finished the night 1-for-4 with his one hit being one of the biggest hits of the Brewers’ entire season. Next up, a matchup against either the Rays or Guardians in the World Series.

The speedy infielder smacked an RBI single off of Tyler Glasnow in the fifth inning that pulled the Brewers to within a run at 4-3. He then swiped second base and ultimately scored as Jake Bauers worked a walk with the bases loaded. Hamilton then added a valuable insurance run as he tagged Edwin Diaz for a 402-foot (105.0-mph EV) solo shot with two outs in the ninth inning, increasing the Brewers’ lead to 6-4. He’ll now get a couple of days to rest as the Brewers sit around and wait for their World Series opponent.

Drohan got himself into a jam in the opening inning but got Will Smith to ground into a double play to escape any damage. He then allowed a leadoff single to Kyle Tucker to open the second inning and Brewers’ skipper Pat Murphy decided he had seen enough. That run ultimately came around to score. The 27-year-old southpaw got just one whiff on 25 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll be fully rested and ready to go out of the Brewers’ bullpen for the start of the World Series.

The Dodgers took an early lead in the second inning as Andy Pages smacked a one-out RBI single into center off of Brewers’ right-hander Dustin May. Two batters later, Ohtani really broke the game open with a 428-foot (113.1-mph EV) three-run blast to right-center that made it a 4-0 ballgame. That would be the extent of their offense in the game though, and they wound up being a run short when all was said and done. Ohtani had a chance with a runner at third base and one out in the seventh inning and couldn’t plate the tying run. Kyle Tucker then failed in the same situation in the eighth inning. It’s a stunning collapse for the Dodgers as they’re swept by the Brewers in the NLCS, scoring a grand total of 11 runs in the four-game set.

The 33-year-old right-hander racked up six strikeouts on the evening while also issuing a pair of free passes. He blanked the Brewers through the first three innings, but they broke through in the fourth as Jake Bauers smacked a two-run double. David Hamilton then added an RBI single in the fifth inning that chased Glasnow from the game. He generated five swings and misses on 79 pitches in the contest, registering a CSW of 25 percent. He’ll now have to wait through the entire offseason before getting a chance to get back on the mound and erase the bad taste from his mouth left behind from this outing.

The 29-year-old outfielder had been added to the Braves’ roster for their Wild Card series against the Phillies, but he was removed for the NLDS once Lane Thomas (intercostal) was healthy enough to contribute. Keirsey then passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Braves.

The Braves didn’t want Wisely to hit the free agent market, so they made room for him on their 40-man roster. The 27-year-old infielder spent the entire 2026 campaign at the Triple-A level, slashing .281/.399/.436 with 11 homers, 65 RBI, 29 stolen bases and a 104/77 K/BB ratio across 517 plate appearances. He should have a chance to compete for a utility role with the Braves in 2027.
