Rotowire
Chourio went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.
Chourio got a couple of rest days in the final week of the season since the Brewers were able to lock up the top spot in the National League. The outfielder had an excellent month, going 33-for-98 (.337) with 18 RBI over 24 contests in September.

He snapped a 10-game power drought with his third-inning homer, which ended up giving the Brewers enough to win this game. Sanchez hit .209 with a .771 OPS, 12 homers, 38 RBI, 37 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple over 275 plate appearances this season.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: Grabs second save
Rotowire
Drohan struck out two over 1.2 perfect innings to earn the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.
Chad Patrick ran into trouble in the eighth inning, prompting Drohan to come into the game. Drohan did his job, throwing 13 of 21 pitches for strikes in this relief appearance, which could be a preview of his usage during the postseason. With his background as a starter, he'll likely be tasked with multi-inning assignments if he works out of the bullpen in October. Drohan finished the regular season at a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 125:44 K:BB across 124.2 innings over 33 games (19 starts). He also collected two saves and three holds.

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Tosses 5.1 scoreless frames
Rotowire
Misiorowski (16-5) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Misiorowski threw 68 pitches (44 strikes) in this outing, getting a standing ovation after striking out Jordan Walker in the sixth inning. Misiorowski had 10 scoreless outings this season and 18 starts of no more than one run allowed. He led all qualified starters with a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts while maintaining a 0.80 WHIP over 174.2 innings across 30 starts. The superstar right-hander will next take the mound during the NLDS.
Lara is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals.
Lara will begin Sunday's festivities on the bench while Sal Frelick plays right field for the Brewers. The rookie outfielder has struggled down the stretch for Milwaukee, slashing only .188/.243/.203 in September.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
Ortiz (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Ortiz is banged up, primarily nursing a knee injury in addition to abdominal and groin issues. He'll sit out Sunday's finale in hopes that he'll be as close to 100 percent as possible for the NLDS. David Hamilton will handle third base for the Brewers on Sunday.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Likely out for regular-season finale
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday's game that the MRI results on Ortiz's knee were "good" overall, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports. However, Ortiz likely won't play Sunday against the Cardinals.
While Ortiz avoided a major injury to his knee, he's also been dealing with abdominal and groin issues, including abdominal swelling. It sounds like Milwaukee will exercise caution and hold Ortiz out of the regular-season finale to ensure his availability for the start of the playoffs. David Hamilton figures to make another start at the hot corner in Ortiz's absence.
Brewers' Aaron Ashby: Collects fourth save of 2026
Rotowire
Ashby earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals, striking out two batters across two innings.
Ashby was brought out of the bullpen for the eighth inning, and he needed 26 pitches (13 strikes) to secure the two-frame save, ending the game by striking out Leo Bernal in the ninth. It was the fourth save of the season for Ashby, who has struck out two batters in three of his last five outings. He has a 3.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season, along with a career-best 116 strikeouts.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Crushes go-ahead homer Saturday
Rotowire
Turang went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Turang gave the Brewers the lead for good in the fifth inning with a 421-foot, two-run homer to center field. It was the 21st home run of the season for the second baseman, and he's one RBI away from reaching 100 for the first time in his major-league career. Over his last five games, Turang has gone 8-for-21 with six RBI and five extra-base hits (including two homers).
May did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five across three innings.
May was operating on short rest, with his last start taking place Tuesday against the Phillies. He ended his night with 58 pitches (38 strikes), and the home run he gave up to Alec Burleson in the third inning was the fifth long ball in May's last six outings. The Brewers will have home-field advantage for the playoffs, so May will have extra rest before the beginning of the NLDS. He'll end the regular season with a 7-9 record (31 starts) with a 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 144:50 K:BB over 145.2 innings, with his strikeouts and innings pitched both being career highs.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Absent from lineup
Rotowire
Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.
Ortiz was removed from Friday's game after aggravating a knee injury that he's been dealing with alongside abdominal and groin issues, per Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee. With the Brewers already having clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, the team will give the 28-year-old a day off to recover, and he'll also undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his various injuries. David Hamilton will start at third base as a result and bat ninth.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Pratt (illness) will start at shortstop and bat seventh Saturday against the Cardinals.
Pratt missed out on the starting nine Friday but entered the game off the bench, and he now seems to be feeling well enough to resume serving as Milwaukee's starting shortstop. The 22-year-old has enjoyed quite a bit of success at the plate this month, batting .306 (19-for-62) with 12 RBI, eight runs scored and six steals over 19 games.

Brewers' Dustin May: Starting on short rest
Rotowire
May will start Saturday's game against the Cardinals in Milwaukee, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
May will pick up one final start to close out the regular season, but as was the case in his prior two outings, he's likely to be subject to a limited workload. He covered just 2.1 innings in a start Sept. 18 in Baltimore, then was lifted after two innings and 36 pitches in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies. Since May will be taking the hill on the three days' rest Saturday and the Brewers are aiming to keep him fresh for the playoffs, it's reasonable to expect him to be capped at around two or three innings.
Brewers' Brice Turang: Collects three hits, three RBI
Rotowire
Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.
Turang contributed throughout the night before delivering the decisive hit in Milwaukee's four-run eighth inning. With the bases loaded and the game tied 4-4, he singled through the left side to score Jackson Chourio and David Hamilton, putting the Brewers ahead for good. Turang also collected two doubles earlier in the game, giving him two multi-hit performances over his last three contests. The star second baseman is ending the regular season on a sizzling note, hitting .368 with a 1.076 OPS in 22 games since the beginning of September.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Picks up win in relief
Rotowire
Uribe (6-3) earned the win after allowing a hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Cardinals.
Uribe didn't have to work hard to get the job done, as he needed only 11 pitches (nine strikes) to cruise through the top of the eighth inning. He took over after St. Louis tied the game at 4-4 and kept it even with a scoreless frame; the Brewers then scored four runs in the bottom half of the inning, allowing the right-hander to earn the win. Uribe was activated from the 15-day IL list due to a forearm injury Aug. 31 and has looked dominant in September, going 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11.5 K/9 across 11 innings in 12 appearances.
