Player Outlook
Jake Bauers didn't see MLB action in 2022 for the second time in the previous three seasons, but he clubbed 12 home runs in 84 games for the Yankees last year. His .202/.279/.413 slash line and 34.9 percent strikeout rate were unsightly, but he had an 18.7 percent barrel rate and 48 percent hard-hit rate. Those numbers are likely what prompted the Brewers to trade for him early in the offseason, which for a time lined him up to potentially fill the large side of a platoon at first base following the departures of Carlos Santana and Rowdy Tellez. Bauers had a 10 percent walk rate in 2023 and has maintained a solid eye in the big leagues, but otherwise his track record in the majors as a below-average defender with a .663 OPS in 412 career games shouldn't excite fantasy managers, even if he is seeing a fair amount of playing time. However, Milwaukee's signing of Rhys Hoskins, who missed of 2023 recovering from a torn ACL, is likely to limit Bauers to more of a bench role.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: On bench again Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Bauers was on the bench for Tuesday's 2-1 loss while Pittsburgh brought left-hander Bailey Falter to the hill, and the lefty-hitting first baseman will remain in a reserve role Wednesday while southpaw Josh Fleming opens the contest for the Bucs. Owen Miller will draw the start at first base in place of Bauers.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sits versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Pittsburgh. Bauers returned from the bereavement list Monday and went 1-for-3 with a double and a strikeout, but he'll hit the bench Tuesday as lefty Bailey Falter starts for the Pirates. Rhys Hoskins will handle first base while William Contreras rests his legs as the designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Returns from bereavement list

    Rotowire
    The Brewers reinstated Bauers (personal) from the bereavement list Monday. Bauers was away from the Brewers for this past weekend's series in St. Louis but is back on the active roster for the series opener in Pittsburgh. He'll continue to see regular action at first base or as a designated hitter against right-handed pitching.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Goes on bereavement list

    Rotowire
    Bauers was placed on the bereavement list by the Brewers on Friday. Bauers will be away, by rule, for at least the three-game weekend series in St. Louis and potentially as many as seven games. Rhys Hoskins will be at first base Friday for the Brewers.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Heads to bench Sunday

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. Even with a right-hander (Corbin Burnes) taking the hill for the opposition, the lefty-hitting Bauers will find himself on the bench for the second time in the series. Bauers could end up moving into more of a part-time role if Rhys Hoskins continues to see regular duties at first base and if the Brewers elect to rotate players at designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Launches first homer

    Rotowire
    Bauers went 1-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Orioles. The Brewers rattled off 15 hits in total on the afternoon, but Bauers had the biggest blow with a three-run homer off Dean Kremer in the fourth inning that broke open a 5-5 tie. It was the 28-year-old first baseman's first long ball of the season, and he's batting just .161 (5-for-31) through nine games while filling a strong-side platoon role. His defensive reputation should buy him some extra time to get going at the plate, but the fact that top prospect Tyler Black is getting reps at first base in Triple-A is an ominous sign for Bauers' fantasy outlook.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Not in Monday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds. Bauers started the previous two games and went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base Sunday versus Seattle, but he'll take a seat Monday against Cincinnati righty Graham Ashcraft. Rhys Hoskins will handle first base while Oliver Dunn serves as the designated hitter, opening up the hot corner for Joey Ortiz.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sitting Friday

    Rotowire
    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Friday's game versus Seattle. Bauers will sit for the third time in four games despite Seattle sending right-hander Logan Gilbert to the mound Friday. Rhys Hoskins will cover first base while Oliver Dunn serves as Milwaukee's DH, allowing Joey Ortiz to start at third base and bat eighth.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: On bench against righty

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. Bauers had cracked the lineup in two of the Brewers' previous three matchups versus right-handed pitching, but he'll sit Wednesday versus Twins righty Chris Paddack. Given that he's signed to a modest one-year deal and is off to a 1-for-10 start to the season, Bauers likely won't have a long leash as a strong-side platoon player and already seems to be losing some job security.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting start Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Bauers is starting at first base and batting fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Twins. Bauers has now handled first base in two of the last three contests while Rhys Hoskins serves as the designated hitter. Meanwhile, Gary Sanchez -- who many thought would garner regular starts at DH -- is on the bench for the third straight game against a right-hander. Bauers is 1-for-7 with a double in the early going this season.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Avoids arbitration with Brewers

    Rotowire
    The Brewers and Bauers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.35 million contract Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Bauers was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time this offseason. Acquired in November from the Yankees, Bauers currently looks slated to serve as the long side of a platoon at first base in Milwaukee. He posted a .693 OPS with 12 homers and a 34.9 percent strikeout rate in 2023 with New York.

  • Brewers' Jake Bauers: Dealt to Brewers

    Rotowire
    The Yankees traded Bauers to Milwaukee on Friday in exchange for Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez. With a .211 batting average and .663 OPS through four seasons in the majors, Bauers has yet to establish himself as a threat at the plate. However, with no remaining minor-league options, he figures to be firmly in the running for the Brewers' first base job, and his ability to man the corner outfield positions could land him a bench spot if he doesn't start.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Homers Thursday

    Rotowire
    Bauers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays. Making his first start in a week, Bauers opened the scoring with a three-run homer off Jose Berrios in the first inning. It's Bauers' 12th home run of the year, matching a career high, though his first since Aug. 5. The 27-year-old outfielder had been struggling at the plate, going just 2-for-38 (.053) over his previous 15 games while retreating to a bench role. Overall, Bauers is batting .199 with a .690 OPS, 30 RBI and 26 runs scored through 259 plate appearances this season.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Losing out on playing time

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays. Bauers is on the bench for the sixth straight contest and for the fourth straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Zack Littell). The Yankees appear to have phased Bauers out in order to take a longer look at younger players like Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza in everyday roles.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Takes seat versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. DJ LeMahieu will start at first base and bat leadoff with left-hander MacKenzie Gore readying to toe the slab for Washington. Everson Pereira is again starting in left field. Bauers has slashed just .143/.222/.268 in 63 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to August and holds an ugly .432 overall OPS this year versus southpaws.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Sitting amid slump

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta. Bauers has been a useful bat for the Yankees this season, especially in the recent absence of Anthony Rizzo (concussion), but the 27-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder is 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts in his last three games. DJ LeMahieu will play first base and bat leadoff Wednesday against the NL East leaders.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Taking over at first base

    Rotowire
    Bauers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a 3-1 win against the Astros. Bauers broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning, swatting a 410-foot solo shot to right field. It was the second homer in as many days for the slugger, who started at first base for the fourth straight contest. It appears that Bauers will be the primary starter at that position, at least against right-handed hurlers, while Anthony Rizzo (concussion) is on the injured list.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Goes deep in loss

    Rotowire
    Bauers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Astros on Friday. Bauers put the Yankees on the board in the third inning with a solo shot to left field. It was his third homer over his past six games, and he's added two doubles over that span. However, Bauers has also struck out 11 times in 23 plate appearances over those six contests, highlighting his biggest weakness at the plate. The 27-year-old has posted a 32.1 percent strikeout rate over 187 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Bright spot in loss

    Rotowire
    Bauers went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Orioles. The Yankees fell behind by seven runs in the first inning and were never really in the game, but Bauers provided a small glimmer of hope with his solo shot in the third inning and run-scoring double in the fourth. The multi-hit performance was Bauers' first since June 18. The 27-year-old has seen his playing time wane in July, though he's been moderately productive when given the opportunity, slashing .250/.323/.571 with two homers, three doubles, five RBI and four runs over 31 plate appearances this month.

  • Yankees' Jake Bauers: Sits against southpaw

    Rotowire
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets. After coming off the injured list Sunday, Bauers served as the Yankees' leadoff man in his first two games back in action, going 1-for-8 with a run and a walk. With left-hander Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets on Wednesday, the lefty-hitting Bauers will retreat to the bench and cede the leadoff spot to Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
