Milwaukee

Brewers

Vaughn is sitting against the majority of righties while waiting for an opening in Milwaukee, but he’s batting an exceptional .364/.417/.557 with 17 RBI in 96 plate appearances when he gets to play. Tonight’s game was the first of his career with three extra-base hits and 10th with four RBI. He’d be a fine mixed-league first baseman as a regular, but things still need to work themselves out for that to happen.

Harrison has been brilliant in major league parks, but Shea Langeliers, Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof all took him deep in Las Vegas tonight, and his ERA jumped from 1.57 to 2.72 as a result. There are unlikely to be any lingering effects, and he’s a fine play at home against the Phillies on Sunday.

This one should have been over in 10 and earned Aaron Ashby his 10th victory in relief, but Las Vegas Ballpark said no to that, as Ashby gave up two homers in his second inning of work. Abner Uribe then worked a scoreless 11th for the win, and Patrick notched his 12th save. Trevor Megill will likely be back in the closer’s role on Tuesday.

Woodford hits the free agent pool after passing through waivers unclaimed following his removal from Milwaukee’s roster mix. The 29-year-old journeyman posted an underwhelming 6.94 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 20/7 K/BB ratio across 23 1/3 innings during his time with the Brewers. He should be able to latch on somewhere else as emergency relief depth.

Yoho heads back to the minors to free up a roster spot for newly acquired reliever Joel Kuhnel. The 26-year-old has allowed one run over three innings of work for the Brewers this season. He continues to post excellent numbers on the doorstep of the majors, but he’s struggled to gain any traction at the highest level with a bloated 6.17 ERA across 11 2/3 innings in the big leagues over the last two years.

Sánchez’ home run was his sixth. He hit a two-run shot off Jaden Hill in the sixth inning. Sánchez is the backup catcher, but got the start with Christian Yelich getting the day off and William Contreras sliding into the DH spot. Sánchez is hitting .206 with a .798 OPS.

Drohan gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four. He improved to 3-1 with the win. Drohan was removed after 83 pitches as he was making just his third start of the year after pitching in the bullpen. He has a 3.11 ERA. It’s unclear if Drohan will remain in the rotation, but he’s lined up to face the Phillies at home next weekend.

Kyle Freeland doesn’t really qualify as a tough left-hander that fantasy managers would want Yelich to sit against, but he’ll get a breather in this one as the Brewers continue to manage his workload in an effort to keep him healthy for the remainder of the season. William Contreras will serve as the team’s designated hitter in this one with Gary Sanchez working behind the plate and batting fifth for the Brewers.

Turang put the Brewers on the board early, taking Zach Agnos deep for a solo homer in the first inning. He later went yard again, extended the lead with his second solo blast in the eighth off TJ Shook. The two home runs give Turang nine on the season while slashing .282/.405/.486 with 50 runs scored, 37 RBI, and 11 steals across 266 plate appearances.

Contreras knocked a base hit in the first inning, then slugged a solo homer off Brennan Bernardino in the seventh, a 434-foot blast to left center to extend the Milwaukee lead. The home run was the fifth of the season for the 28-year-old backstop. He’s slashing .283/.342/.391 with 32 runs scored and 38 RBI across 257 plate appearances.
