Rotowire
Henderson (9-3) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out seven.
Henderson was outdueled by Kevin Gausman on Thursday, taking a hard-luck loss in a valiant effort. The left-hander continued to deal on the mound, rattling off his sixth straight quality start and fourth consecutive outing with fewer than three runs allowed. He'll look to keep the good times rolling his next time out in a home rematch with the Cubs, sporting a 2.48 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 93:14 K:BB in 83.1 innings.
Frelick is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cubs.
It's the third straight day Frelick has been out of the lineup, but this is the first of those that comes when the opposition is starting a righty. The Brewers will go with Jake Bauers in right field and Andrew Vaughn at first base in the series finale.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Keeps rolling in four-hit game
Rotowire
Chourio went 4-for-6 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.
Chourio stayed hot Wednesday, pushing his hitting streak up to seven games. The star outfielder has a pair of four-hit efforts over that stretch and has gone yard four times since the streak began. He's hitting .287 with 21 homers, 58 RBI, 15 stolen bases and 74 runs scored over 476 plate appearances.
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Rare dud in no-decision
Rotowire
Misiorowski took a no-decision against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out five.
It was a rare misstep for the National League Cy Young frontrunner, who coughed up a season-high five runs Wednesday. The outing stopped Misiorowski's streak of starts with three earned runs or fewer at 25, and the five punchouts matched a season low as well. Still, he responded well with two scoreless frames after Chicago jumped on him during the first two innings. He'll be looking to get back on track in a home rematch with the Cubs next week, still boasting a 1.97 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 227:39 K:BB over 155 innings.
The Brewers activated Kuhnel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and designated him for assignment, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Kuhnel is recovered from the right rotator cuff tendinopathy that sent him to the IL in early July, but the Brewers have decided they don't have room for the reliever on their roster. The 31-year-old has authored a 4.84 ERA and 22:12 K:BB over 35.1 innings between the Athletics and Brewers in 2026.
Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.
Ortiz provided some late insurance by taking Tyler Ferguson deep for a two-run homer in the eighth inning. He's now recorded multiple hits in three of his last six games as his season numbers continue to climb. Ortiz is now batting .256 with a .711 OPS, eight homers, 12 doubles, three triples, 40 RBI, 40 runs and nine steals across 349 plate appearances.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Stays hot with two-run shot
Rotowire
Yelich went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.
Yelich took Daniel Palencia deep for a two-run homer in the sixth inning, capping Milwaukee's four-run frame. The 34-year-old has begun to heat up at the plate, going 10-for-27 (.370) with five extra-base hits over his last eight games. Despite the recent surge, Yelich's overall production remains underwhelming with a .238/.319/.388 slash line, 10 homers, 22 doubles, two triples, 49 RBI, 57 runs and 11 steals across 98 games.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Lasts 4.1 innings in no-decision
Rotowire
Gasser did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.
Gasser allowed just one hit through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth, when three consecutive batters reached to open the frame. An error by Gasser compounded the damage as Chicago pushed across three runs in the inning. The left-hander has now failed to complete five innings in three of his last five starts. He owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 86.2 innings this season and is slated for a rematch with the Cubs in his next start.
The Brewers activated Romero (appendectomy) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Romero underwent an appendectomy in mid-July when he was still a member of the Cardinals organization. He's ready for his Brewers debut now after making two scoreless rehab appearances.

Brewers' Bo Naylor: Up as third catcher
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Naylor from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Most teams like to carry a third catcher when rosters expand in September, and that's what Naylor's role will be. He's unlikely to play much, barring injury.
