Eligibility
Jake Bauers is missing from the lineup for the Milwaukee Brewers against the Chicago White Sox Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Bauers will take a seat on the bench against a left-handed starting pitcher, with Rhys Hoskins batting fifth and starting at first base against the White Sox Saturday.
Jake Bauers went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI as the Brewers trounced the White Sox 12-5.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the multi-hit game, Bauers's season has been underwhelming, batting just .206 with a concerning strikeout rate of .340. His performance today, while helpful, doesn't mask the larger issues at play this season, including a low walk rate (.082) and modest power numbers. Fantasy managers should view this game as a positive blip rather than a sign of a turnaround, given his struggles with consistency and contact at the plate. Bauers remains a risky play in most fantasy formats.
Jake Bauers is back in the lineup for the Milwaukee Brewers against the Boston Red Sox Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Bauers returns after sitting on the bench the last three games, batting fifth and starting at first base against the Red Sox Friday.
Jake Bauers is out of the lineup for the Milwaukee Brewers against the Miami Marlins Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Bauers will sit out against a left-handed starting pitcher, with Owen Miller batting eighth and starting at first base Monday against the Marlins.
Jake Bauers went 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Brewers' 5-4 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Bauers also drew two walks, showcasing his ability to get on base despite a challenging matchup. This performance could hint at a potential uptick in his fantasy value, especially considering his power-speed combination. With a season batting average of .241 and a modest .358 wOBA, Bauers remains a risky fantasy play. However, his ability to contribute across multiple categories, as evidenced by his five home runs and five stolen bases, makes him a potential asset in deeper leagues or as a streaming option depending on the matchup.
