Wiemer is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer started the past five games after sitting twice last weekend, and he'll return to the bench Sunday after going 4-for-17 with a double, three RBI and a run during that stretch. Blake Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth.

Wiemer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer is on the bench for a second straight day, with Adam McCalvy of MLB.com relaying that the consecutive absences fall in the category of a baseball decision rather than the outfielder dealing with an unreported injury. Though he already looks like one of the better defensive center fielders in the majors, the rookie's production at the plate has slipped of late. Since the start of July, Wiemer is slashing .200/.333/.300 with two extra-base hits in 16 games.

Wiemer will sit Saturday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Sal Frelick was called up for the first time Saturday and could cut into Wiemer's playing time going forward, though he'll be right field on this occasion while Blake Perkins takes Wiemer's spot in center. Wiemer's strong defense in center field means he's been a productive enough player despite his .207/.292/.386 slash line (84 wRC+), but as the Brewers' outfield gets more crowded, he'll need to avoid a further dip at the plate if he's to remain a regular.

Wiemer is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Philadelphia.

Wiemer will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer has shown some encouraging signs this season, and his 11 homers and 10 steals through 80 games have helped prop up his fantasy value, but things have been trending in the wrong direction for him in recent weeks. Since June 9, he's hit .136/.246/.322 in 19 games while striking out 36.2 percent of the time. He'll get a rest Saturday with Blake Perkins taking over in center field.

Wiemer (hand) is starting in center field and batting ninth Thursday versus the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer took a pitch off his left hand late in Wednesday's victory, but X-rays came back negative and he won't wind up missing any action. The 24-year-old has tallied 11 homers and 10 stolen bases across his first 78 major-league games this season with Milwaukee.

X-rays taken of Wiemer's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's win over the Mets, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer remained in the contest after being plunked by an Adam Ottavino offering in the eighth inning before being sent for precautionary X-rays after the game. It's possible the outfielder will get a day of rest if he's sore, but he's managed to avoid any broken bones and could return to action within a couple days.

Wiemer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer's two-run shot off Drew Smith in the sixth provided all the run support Milwaukee's pitching staff needed Monday night. Overall, the rookie's numbers don't look great, but he picked things up in June and is slashing .266/.337/.570 with six home runs, 16 RBI, three stolen bases and 14 runs scored over his last 24 games. Wiemer has a unique skill set that bodes well for fantasy production, but he's been a hit-or-miss player so far. Regardless, he figures to see regular playing time as long as Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) are on the injured list.

Wiemer went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer put the first two runs on the board for Milwaukee with a shot to right field in the third inning. It was his second consecutive contest with a long ball following a five-game stretch during which he went 0-for-16 with 11 strikeouts. In fact, the rookie had fanned at least twice in each of his past seven contests prior to his zero-punchout performance Saturday. While his struggles to make contact are clearly a concern, Wiemer's long ball made him the 11th player this season to reach double-digit homers and steals.

Wiemer went 4-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a double and five total RBI in a 10-2 rout of the Orioles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer was massively productive out of the No. 9 hole for the Brewers, notching his first career multi-homer game and racking up a career-high four hits. Per Bally Sports Wisconsin, the center fielder's 11 total bases set a franchise rookie record. Wiemer is still batting just .231 on the season, but he's heated up significantly of late, slashing .481/.563/1.000 with three homers, nine RBI, seven runs, two stolen bases and a 5:4 BB:K during his current eight-game hitting streak.
