The Brewers informed Monasterio on Monday that he'll be included on the Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio will be part of his first Opening Day roster after he impressed the Brewers with his on-base skills and defensive versatility last season upon receiving his first call to the big leagues in late May. While picking up 77 total starts between second base, third base and shortstop, Monasterio slashed .259/.330/.348 across 315 plate appearances. Though injuries to other infielders helped him secure steady playing time for much of his time in the big leagues last season, Monasterio is likely to handle a short-side platoon role to begin 2024. He'll be a candidate to replace Brice Turang at second base or Sal Frelick at third base when the Brewers face left-handed pitching.

Monasterio went 1-for-3 with an RBI single in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has impressed in the spring thus far, hitting .364 with a .728 OPS over 11 at-bats. It's hard to imagine the utility infielder pushing out promising prospect Brice Turang or stalwart shortstop Willy Adames, but it's possible Monasterio could initially start at third base over Joey Ortiz, who was acquired in the beginning of February as part of the Corbin Burnes trade to Baltimore. Monasterio played in 92 games for the Brewers last season and had a .259/.330/.348 slash line in 315 plate appearances.

Monasterio is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio started 21 straight games from Aug. 23 through Sept. 15, but he now finds himself out of the lineup for the second time in three days. Josh Donaldson will man the hot corner for a third straight game and could continue cutting into Monasterio's playing time.

Monasterio will sit Saturday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio has settled into an everyday role in the second half, with Saturday's off day just his third since the break. His bat has been sub-par for an everyday corner infielder, however, as his .270/.344/.369 slash line is good for a modest 97 wRC+. Josh Donaldson will take over at the hot corner Saturday.

Monasterio went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-2 victory over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio led off the seventh with a double, then scored what would turn out to be the game-winning run on a William Contreras single. His second double drove in two and provided insurance as the Brewers pulled away for the win. Monasterio has started every game at third base for the Brewers since Aug. 23, and has swung a hot bat since the calendar turned to September, batting .400 with 10 hits in 25 at-bats.

Monasterio went 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 victory versus San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio plated Milwaukee's first run with a single in the fifth inning. He was moved to second on a fielder's choice, then came around to score after stealing third base and drawing a throwing error by Padres catcher Luis Campusano. Monasterio came into Saturday in the midst of a 2-for-30 stretch over his previous eight contests, though he's been able to maintain a near-everyday role in the Brewers' lineup.

Monasterio is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio is stuck in a 1-for-22 slump and has posted an overall .200/.288/.323 batting line in 73 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to August. Brian Anderson will play third base and hit ninth for Milwaukee on Tuesday against Minnesota.

Monasterio went 3-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base during Tuesday's loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio was slashing just .174/.296/.217 during August heading into Tuesday's contest, but he was finally able to break out of his slump against the Rockies. The 26-year-old infielder has never hit more than nine home runs in a season throughout his professional career, so his seventh-inning blast off Kyle Freeland isn't something that should be expected from Monasterio going forward. However, he's demonstrated an excellent ability to get on base with a .367 OBP through 158 plate appearances.

Monasterio went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and a steal in Monday's victory over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old reached the majors for the first time this year, and he has proven to be a valuable utility player, posting a .292 batting average and .382 OBP over 102 PA while making at least five starts at each of the three infield positions left of first base. He is not doing a lot for fantasy players outside of the batting average category, but he is getting regular playing time at the moment, starting nine straight games at the hot corner.

Monasterio will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

With Brian Anderson (back) recently joining Rowdy Tellez (forearm) on the 10-day injured list, the Brewers have turned to Owen Miller and Monasterio as their primary options at the two corner-infield spots. Monasterio will man the hot corner for the fifth game in a row after going 4-for-14 with a double, a walk, three runs and two RBI over the previous four contests.
