Gasser (1-3) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out seven.
Gasser was sharp Sunday en route to his first win and quality start this season. After struggling to a 6.38 ERA across 18.1 innings in his first four outings this year, Gasser has allowed just two runs over 12.2 innings in his last two starts. However, the left-hander's role in the short term is uncertain with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) slated to return to the Milwaukee rotation Monday against Cincinnati.

Brewers' William Contreras: Three hits, homer in win
Rotowire
Contreras went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.
Contreras broke the game open with his three-run shot off Bryce Elder, his seventh homer this year, extending the Brewers' lead to 8-1. Contreras has gone 20-for-53 (.377) over his last 14 games with three homers and nine RBI, boosting his slash line to .299/.358/.417 with 46 RBI and 43 runs scored across 310 plate appearances this year.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Returning from IL on Monday
Rotowire
Woodruff (shoulder) confirmed that he will return from the 15-day injured list Monday to start the Brewers' series opener in Cincinnati, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Manager Pat Murphy had already indicated that Woodruff would rejoin the rotation for that series, and the right-hander is now set to begin it. Woodruff will be making his first big-league appearance since April 30, when he was lifted from a start after developing shoulder inflammation. Over the course of two rehab starts, he was able to get stretched out to 5.1 innings and 82 pitches, so he should be capable of handling a normal workload Monday.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Back to bench with righty starting
Rotowire
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Ortiz had started at third base in each of the last three games while the Brewers went up against lefties, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while right-hander Bryce Elder toes the rubber for Atlanta. The 27-year-old looks as though he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon with David Hamilton following the recent promotion of shortstop Cooper Pratt from Triple-A Nashville.
Harrison took a no-decision Saturday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.
Saturday marked Harrison's second-longest start of the season, and he's now given up four knocks or fewer in five of his past six outings. The 24-year-old left-hander has also surrendered two runs or fewer in all but one of his first 14 appearances, so he's putting together a strong case for his first career All-Star selection in 2026. Harrison is next set to bring a 2.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 87:18 K:BB across 72 innings into a home matchup versus the division-rival Cubs.
Yelich isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Yelich doesn't typically move to the bench whenever the Brewers run into a left-handed starter, but he'll get a day off Saturday with southpaw Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta. Gary Sanchez will fill in as Milwaukee's designated hitter and bat fourth.
Pratt went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to Atlanta.
Pratt led off the seventh inning with a single before stealing second base. Unfortunately for Pratt's fantasy managers, the Brewers decided to pinch hit for the rookie with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, turning to lefty Sal Frelick. Through four major-league contests, Pratt has gone 4-for-12 with two RBI, one run scored, two steals and a 1:4 BB:K while starting each game at shortstop.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Stumbles late in loss
Rotowire
Misiorowski (8-3) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.
Misiorowski opened with five scoreless frames before running into trouble in the sixth, loading the bases and eventually allowing two runs on a two-out single. While it marked the first time since April 25 that he surrendered more than one earned run in an outing, the 24-year-old still extended his quality-start streak to eight games. He'll carry a 1.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 138:23 K:BB across 93 innings this season into a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Will rejoin team next week
Rotowire
The Brewers announced that Woodruff (shoulder) will return to the pitching rotation during next week's series against Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Woodruff will finally make his return to the big-league mound for the first time since the end of April. The 33-year-old most recently completed a rehab start Tuesday, allowing three runs over 5.1 innings while striking out six batters. Before going on the injured list, the right-hander posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB in 30 innings.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sitting out versus left-hander
Rotowire
Bauers is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.
The left-handed-hitting Bauers doesn't always sit versus lefty hurlers, but he will begin this one on the bench as Atlanta goes with southpaw Martin Perez. Blake Perkins will be in right field and Andrew Vaughn will cover first base in the series opener for the Brewers.
Drohan didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Guardians, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.
It was a strong outing overall for Drohan, with Cleveland's lone run against the left-hander coming on a David Fry homer in the third inning. Overall, Drohan sports a 3.40 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 47.2 innings as a swingman for Milwaukee this season. He'll likely return to the bullpen when Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is ready to come off the IL, but Drohan could get another turn through the rotation next week in Cincinnati.
