Bauers has a good chance of making the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Brewers re-signed Bauers to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis
Bauers was booted off the Brewers' 40-man roster Monday and has decided to test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. 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.

Bauers is absent from the lineup Thursday for Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series versus the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
It's southpaw Jose Quintana on the bump for the Mets, so the left-handed hitting Bauers will yield to Gary Sanchez for the second straight day. William Contreras is receiving a turn at designated hitter while Sanchez works behind the plate. Bauers will be a candidate to come off the bench once the Mets turn to a right-handed reliever.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Bauers had started in both of the Brewers' two matchups with right-handed starting pitchers in Arizona over the weekend, but he'll head to the bench Monday while southpaw Ranger Suarez takes the hill for Philadelphia. Though he produced three hits over the weekend, Bauers is batting just .163 since the All-Star break.
