Reyes went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.

Reyes started Saturday for just the second time all month, but he made the most of the opportunity, tallying his sixth extra-base hit and third steal of the season while also generating a highlight with a Houdini-like slide into home that gave the Brewers a two-run lead in the eighth inning. With the Brewers clinching a playoff spot, Reyes could get more starts down the stretch to help keep the regulars fresh.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas gets the afternoon off after going 1-for-4 on Saturday and hitting a lowly .163 in his last 10 games. Jazz Chisholm shifts to shortstop for the series finale while Joe Panik gets a start at second base.

Barrero (undisclosed) is playing center field and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 23-year-old hasn't played since Tuesday, but he returns to make his first career start in the outfield. Barrero has hit .190 in 21 at-bats this season and draws a tough matchup in Clayton Kershaw on Sunday.

Ahmed is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Ahmed will sit for the third time in the last 10 games, during which time he has hit .179/.233/.321. Josh Rojas will start at shortstop in Ahmed's place, and Jake McCarthy will take Rojas' spot in center field.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

The shortstop's second-inning blast was his 21st of the year, matching his career high from 2015. Crawford also has career-best marks in stolen bases (10) and runs scored (69) while his 81 RBI puts him three away from his total in both 2015 and 2016. He's slashed .299/.373/.523 across 491 plate appearances in his age-34 season, and he's been even better in September with a .373/.475/.627 line in his last 14 contests.

Adames (quadriceps) will participate in pregame workouts over the weekend before likely being activated from the 10-day injured list for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Manager Craig Counsell said earlier in the week that the club was hoping to have Adames back at some point during the series against St. Louis, and now the Brewers have zoned in on Monday as the target return date for the shortstop. Assuming he's activated early next week as planned, Adames should resume his everyday duties at shortstop over the final two weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Rojas went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Nationals.

Rojas is off to a strong start to September, having provided a .304 average, one home run, nine RBI and seven runs in 11 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on the Miami leadoff hitter to thrive as a run producer to this extent, but his high contact rate should help prop up his average, and the 32-year-old is a sneaky contributor in the running game. He's already established a career high with 12 stolen bases on the season.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Turner's steal of second base in the third inning gave him 29 on the campaign, tops in the National League and four more than his closest competitors. His most impressive display of speed came in the sixth frame, however, when he beat out what looked to be a routine grounder for a two-out, run-scoring single. Turner has gone 5-for-15 with a home run, four walks, three RBI and three stolen bases over his past four games.

Manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Adames (quadriceps) could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list during the Brewers' home series with the Cardinals that begins Sept. 20, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The Brewers plan to put Adames through more workouts this weekend to gauge the health of his strained left quad, but if all goes well, the 26-year-old looks like he'll be ready to take back duties at shortstop for the final two weeks of the regular season. Luis Urias has been serving as the primary option at the position since Adames was placed on the IL on Sept. 5.

Adames (quadriceps) ran and took grounders ahead of Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Adames hit and participated in leg workouts late last week, and he continued to progress in his recovery by running and participating in fielding drills Wednesday. The 26-year-old is eligible to return from the injured list as early as Friday, but the Brewers haven't yet indicated when he'll be activated.
