Wiemer went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer put the Brewers on the board with a two-run home run in the second, marking his sixth long ball of the season. The 24-year-old rookie has been thrust into an expanded role in 2023 due to injuries to Tyrone Taylor (elbow) and Garrett Mitchell (shoulder), and while Wiemer's .201/.271/.366 slash line doesn't pop off the page, he's showcased a versatile skill set by smashing six home runs and stealing nine bags through 55 games (181 plate appearances). He's also played an above-average center field, which should keep him in the lineup on a regular basis.

Wiemer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer got the Brewers on the board in the third with a towering shot to center field but went down swinging his other two times up. It has been a rough go at the plate for the 24-year-old rookie, who is now slashing .204/.267/.365 with five homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs, five steals and 12:42 BB:K over 150 plate appearances. He has struck out multiple times in four of his last six games but is still garnering a majority of the starting share in center field.

Wiemer will sit Saturday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer sits for the first time since Garrett Mitchell went down with a torn labrum in mid-April, ending a streak of 26 consecutive starts. The regular playing time hasn't led to much success at the plate, as he's hitting just .208/.273/.354, though his four homers and five steals have kept his fantasy value from bottoming out. Tyrone Taylor will be the center fielder Saturday.

Wiemer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer launched a solo home run off Jordan Montgomery in the fifth to even the game at 2-2 but struck out his other three times up. It was his second homer in May and just his fourth of the year. The 24-year-old has struggled to get going at the plate since he opened up the year with a hit in seven straight games. He's now struck out 11 times over his last 22 plate appearances and is slashing just .208/.275/.360 with 11 extra base hits, 13 RBI, 16 runs and a 12:37 BB:K over 138 plate appearances thus far.

Wiemer broke a scoreless tie with a three-run shot in the fifth inning. He then added an RBI double in the seventh, which ended up being the go-ahead run, before crossing home himself. Wiemer's last home run and multi-hit game happened April 26; in the nine games between those two performances, he went 4-for-26 (.154).

Wiemer went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer picked up his second steal in the last three games, but he's hitting a meager .118 (2-for-17) through six contests in May. The outfielder hasn't been shy of the basepaths, swiping five bags on six attempts this season. He's slashing .208/.286/.327 with two home runs, seven RBI and 11 runs scored through 112 plate appearances.

Wiemer went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer's second home run of the season was a solo shot in the eighth that extended the Brewers' lead to 6-2. He also had a double in the fifth inning, giving him four multi-hit games this year. With Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) and Tyrone Taylor (elbow) out for extended periods, Wiemer should continue to act as an everyday player for Milwaukee.

Wiemer went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and scored twice in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wiemer had an impactful day at the plate. He doubled to lead off the fifth and came around to score off the bat of Christian Yelich. He then walked to kick things off in the seventh and later scored again after he stole second. It was Wiemer's second multi-hit effort over his last four games but just his third of the young season. He's struggled to hit for average but has maintained a patient eye at the plate, slashing .219/.315/.328 with a homer, five RBI, seven runs and a 9:15 BB:K over 73 plate appearances.

Wiemer went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start in center field and hitting ninth, Wiemer crushed his first career homer off David Peterson in the second inning, driving the ball the opposite way over the wall in right field. The 24-year-old outfielder has looked great since his promotion, batting .353 (6-for-17) through five games, and it may not be long before Wiemer works his way into a more fantasy-friendly spot in the order.

EDGE Analysis
Wiemer reached base three times for the first time in his career, and he also picked up his first steal in the big leagues. He has not hit higher than ninth as of yet, but he has helped set the table for the top of the order, recording five hits and a pair of walks over 15 plate appearances.
