The Brewers recalled Wiemer from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old failed to make Milwaukee's Opening Day roster but is being called up Sunday as outfield depth since Christian Yelich (back) is banged up. Wiemer will start in left field Sunday could split playing time there with Blake Perkins field should Yelich end up on the injured list.

The Brewers optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers are loaded with outfielders even with Sal Frelick slated to spend some time in the infield, and Wiemer ultimately wasn't able to make the team. Wiemer will be given regular at-bats with Nashville.

Wiemer was not injured during Thursday's Cactus League game against the White Sox despite leaving the game early, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer was shaken up a bit on a play near the outfield wall in the third inning and walked into the Brewers' clubhouse with a trainer after striking out in the top of the fourth, but his removal doesn't appear to have been injury-related. Wiemer was scheduled to make an early exit from the game anyway in order to travel to Las Vegas for Milwaukee's upcoming exhibition game against the Athletics. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled to get going at the plate this spring, managing just four hits in 23 at-bats while striking out nine times.

EDGE Analysis

Wiemer is part of the Brewers' roster for their NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer finished out the regular season with Triple-A Nashville, but the Brewers have opted to carry seven different outfielders into this best-of-three series versus Arizona. The 24-year-old could serve as a late-inning defensive replacement or maybe even a pinch-hitting option against lefties. He posted an .815 OPS against southpaws this year at the MLB level.

Wiemer was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer operated as Milwaukee's primary center fielder earlier this season, but he's worked in a reserve role of late and has a .483 OPS in 61 at-bats since the start of August. Blake Perkins (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Wiemer (mouth) will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer suffered a mouth laceration when he was involved in a collision in the outfield during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees in 13 innings, but the injury won't be anything that keeps the rookie out as the Brewers begin a four-game set with Miami. Though he's largely served as a late-inning defensive replacement in recent weeks, Wiemer will pick up his first start since Sept. 3 on Monday.

Wiemer sustained a laceration in his mouth on a collision during Sunday's game against the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer entered Sunday's matchup as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth inning and went 1-for-1 with a double, a run and an RBI in the extra-innings loss. He sustained his injury on an outfield collision, but it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against Miami.

Wiemer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer was a late addition to Tuesday's lineup in what is now his lone start over the Brewers' last four games. He's seen a dramatic dip in playing time over the last two weeks as Milwaukee turns to Sal Frelick in center field and Tyrone Taylor in right. Frelick is dealing with a hamstring injury, though, which could potentially offer a reprieve for Wiemer if an injury list stint is ultimately needed.

Wiemer has been added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer will cover center field and bat ninth versus the Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober after Sam Frelick was scratched due to lingering right hamstring soreness. Wiemer is slashing just .215/.290/.379 across his first 115 major-league games this year and has seen a significant dip in playing time in recent weeks.
