Brewers' Jake Bauers: Poaching playing time from Collins
Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Bauers seems to be moving ahead of Isaac Collins in the Brewers' outfield hierarchy; the former will start for the third time in Milwaukee's last four matchups versus right-handed pitchers, while Collins has started just once during that stretch. Both players will likely see their playing time trend downward once Garrett Mitchell (oblique) is cleared to return from the injured list.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Leaves yard Tuesday
Bauers went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Astros.
Bauers got his day started with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning to extend the Brewers' lead to 4-0. He's now plated half his runs for the season in his last five games and owns a .358 on-base percentage in 55 plate appearances.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting rare start Thursday
Bauers will start at first base and bat fifth in Thursday's game against the Giants.
Bauers made the Brewers' Opening Day roster after attending spring training on a minor-league deal, but after making 77 starts in 117 games for Milwaukee in 2024, the 29-year-old has had his playing time scaled back considerably in 2025. He'll be making just his sixth start through the Brewers' first 26 games of the season Thursday, as Milwaukee has leaned much more heavily on Rhys Hoskins at first base and Christian Yelich at designated hitter to cut off Bauers' main paths to playing time. Bauers has produced well in his limited opportunities thus far, popping two home runs and stealing a base while posting a .939 OPS through his first 29 plate appearances.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Promotion official
The Brewers selected Bauers' contract from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
After producing a .199/.301/.361 slash line with 12 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 346 plate appearances for the Brewers in 2024, Bauers elected free agency following the season and re-signed with Milwaukee on a minor-league deal. He emerged from spring training with a roster spot after producing a .939 OPS in Cactus League play, but Bauers could struggle to see the extended playing time he received with the Brewers in 2024 unless injuries test Milwaukee's depth at first base and in the outfield. Bauers is on the bench for Thursday's season opener versus the Yankees.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Makes Opening Day roster
Bauers was informed Wednesday that he has made the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Bauers re-signed with the Brewers on a minor-league contract over the offseason and has managed to crack the Opening Day roster after putting up a .939 OPS with three home runs over 15 games this spring. He will see occasional starts between first base and designated hitter.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Good chance to make roster
Bauers has a good chance of making the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Bauers elected free agency after being removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster in November but found his way back to the club on a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. Rhys Hoskins will open the season at the top of the Brewers' depth chart at first base, but there's not much behind him at the position and Hoskins should also see time at designated hitter. Bauers hit .199 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate in 2024 but did swat 12 homers and steal 13 bases in 116 games.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Re-signs on NRI deal
The Brewers re-signed Bauers to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Bauers elected free agency after being removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster in November, but he's found his way back to the club as a non-roster invitee. The 29-year-old slashed .199/.301/.361 with 12 homers and 13 steals over 116 games in 2024 and will compete for a reserve role in spring training.

The 29-year-old slashed .199/.301/.361 with 12 home runs and 13 steals over 116 regular-season contests for the Brewers and also added one homer during the playoffs.
