Brewers' Thomas Pannone: Designated for assignment
The Brewers designated Pannone for assignment Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Pannone was called up to make a spot start for the Brewers on Wednesday, during which he gave up three runs (two earned) across three innings. Now that his services are no longer required by the big club, he'll lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters to make room for DL Hall (pectoral), who returned from the injured list Friday.

Brewers' DL Hall: Rejoins bullpen
The Brewers reinstated Hall (pectoral) from the injured list Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Hall has been on the shelf since early June due to a left pec strain, but he has been pitching in rehab games since July 19. Across four appearances in the minors, he gave up two earned runs on three hits and three walks while punching out nine batters in 5.2 innings. He'll replace Thomas Pannone on the Brewers' pitching staff and presumably work as a middle reliever.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Notches scoreless rehab outing
Harrison (forearm) pitched 5.2 scoreless innings, surrendering one hit and three walks while striking out five batters in Thursday night's rehab start with High-A Wisconsin.
Harrison recorded 44 strikes over 68 total pitches, and he was able to reach his target of at least five innings on the mound. The left-hander has been sidelined since July 11 while nursing left forearm tightness, but he showed no rust in his first, and likely only, minor-league rehab start. Harrison is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list and make his next start with the major-league roster.

Brewers' Thomas Pannone: Goes three innings in loss
Pannone (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Giants, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out two.
Making his first appearance in the majors since 2023, Pannone got through the first inning unscathed before giving up a three-run homer to Daniel Susac in the second. Following Wednesday's spot start, the left-handed Pannone figures to head back to Triple-A Nashville, where he's posted a 3.96 ERA across 75 innings this season.

Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Taking seat Wednesday
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Vaughn was on the bench for the first two games of last weekend's series versus the Rockies, but he started in each of Milwaukee's ensuing three contests and went 3-for-10 with a home run, a walk, two runs and two RBI. With Jake Bauers (foot) back at first base Wednesday following a one-game absence and Luis Lara receiving the start in right field, Vaughn will retreat to the bench for the series finale in San Francisco. Despite playing different positions, Vaughn and Lara appear to be in a quasi-timeshare for the final spot in Milwaukee's regular lineup versus righties, though the Brewers should have room in the starting nine for both players against lefties.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: Start pushed to Friday
Drohan is slated to make his next start in Friday's series opener against the Angels in Anaheim, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Drohan had been lined up for his 12th start of the season Wednesday in San Francisco, but the Brewers instead decided to call up Thomas Pannone from Triple-A Nashville to make a spot start, which will build in extra rest for all five members of the rotation. The southpaw will miss out on a start in one of baseball's more pitcher-friendly venues in Oracle Park but should still make for a quality option in fantasy lineups this week while taking on an Angels squad that has posted a league-high 25.9 percent strikeout rate against lefties this season.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Checking back in lineup Wednesday
Bauers (toe) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Bauers was diagnosed with a fractured right big toe after fouling a ball off of himself Monday, but he apparently needed just a day off in Tuesday's 8-2 win to improve enough to re-enter the starting nine. The 30-year-old acknowledged Tuesday that he'll still be managing some pain with the toe moving forward, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Brewers ended up building in more off days for him and/or using him at first base more frequently than the corner outfield. The toe issue may also result in Bauers being less active in the running game, where he's contributed eight stolen bases in nine attempts through 97 contests this season.

Brewers' William Contreras: Resting up Wednesday
Contreras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
The Brewers will give Contreras a breather for the matinee contest after he caught all nine innings of an 8-2 win Tuesday night. Gary Sanchez will spell Contreras behind the dish in the series finale.

Brewers' Garrett Stallings: Sent back to Nashville
The Brewers optioned Stallings to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
He's clearing off the roster to make space for Thomas Pannone, who will start Wednesday's game in San Francisco. Stallings has turned in five scoreless innings covering three appearances for the Brewers this season, so he should eventually get another opportunity.

Brewers' Shane Drohan: No longer starting Wednesday
Drohan has been scratched from his scheduled outing Wednesday in San Francisco, as Milwaukee will call up Thomas Pannone from Triple-A Nashville to start the series finale, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers haven't revealed whether an injury or illness factored into the decision to push Drohan off the start, or if the team simply wanted to build in extra rest for the southpaw and the other four members of the rotation. In any case, those intending to use Drohan in DFS or activating him in season-long leagues with daily lineup moves should make alternative plans. Drohan hit six innings in each of his last four starts and went 2-2 with a 4.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB.

Brewers' Thomas Pannone: Called up for spot start
The Brewers selected Pannone's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Pannone will start Wednesday's game in San Francisco, presumably just to give the regular members of the Brewers' rotation some extra rest. The left-hander has logged a 4.13 ERA and 57:22 K:BB over 72 innings this season with Nashville. Pannone will be making his first appearance at the major-league level since 2023.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Nabs steal in win
Pratt went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
Pratt has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three steals over his last seven games. The shortstop has had little trouble adjusting to the majors, batting .283 with a .759 OPS across his first 34 big-league games. He's added nine steals, two home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 124 plate appearances.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Three hits in Tuesday's win
Turang went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
This was Turang's first multi-RBI game since the All-Star break. He has gone 11-for-37 (.297) with three extra-base hits in his last 11 contests, though he hasn't logged a steal since July 9 versus the Cardinals. The second baseman is batting .269 with an .825 OPS, 15 home runs, 15 steals, 64 RBI, 70 runs scored, 25 doubles and three triples over 101 contests this season.

Brewers' Luis Lara: Drives in three in win
Lara went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
Lara did a bit of everything in this contest, including showing off some speed. He's gotten on base multiple times in three of his last four games. Through his first 15 major-league games, the outfield prospect is batting .289 with four doubles, one triple, 10 RBI, six runs scored and two steals. He's still looking for his first home run, but he profiled as more of a contact hitter during his time in the minors. Lara is likely to see more time in right field while Jake Bauers is managing pain from a toe fracture.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Fans seven in win
Henderson (5-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.
Henderson has allowed just six runs over 21 innings with a 24:3 K:BB over four starts since he returned from a back strain. Hew threw 64 of 93 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his second scoreless performance of the year. The right-hander has a 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB through 44 innings over nine starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.
