Reds Land Joey Wiemer, Jakob Junis In Trade With Brewers

The Cincinnati Reds acquired outfielder Joey Wiemer and right-hander Jakob Junis from the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night in exchange for right-hander Frankie Montas, according to a source. Wiemer was caught in a roster crunch in Milwaukee in a crowded outfield picture and hit just .154/.185/.154 with a stolen bases in 19 games played after appearing in 132 games in 2023 in his rookie season. The 25-year-old has also disappointed with a .224 average, three homers, 20 RBI and six steals in 53 games at Triple-A Nashville in 2024. Wiemer will operate as minor-league outfield depth for Cincy. Junis, 31, has only made 10 appearances in the big leagues this year due to injury but has been sharp in his 26 innings, posting a career-best 2.42 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, one save and 19 K's. He could be moved to a starting role in Cincy, though, and Junis does have 111 starts in his eight years in the big leagues, potentially making him a deep-league pickup off the waiver wire.

Joey Wiemer Activated From Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The young outfielder was forced to miss 16 days due to left knee soreness. He wasn't playing too well before the injury but figures to at least play in a platoon role going forward. Wiemer will cover center field and bat ninth versus lefty Ryan Weathers on Monday.

Joey Wiemer Avoids Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer (knee) is looking at missing multiple weeks of action after suffering an injury earlier in the week. The young outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list after hurting his knee on Friday. The organization has given a timetable of two or three weeks for Wiemer. This is good news as Wiemer will avoid surgery and only miss a few weeks of action. Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins, and Sal Frelick figure to all see increased playing time while Wiemer and Christian Yelich (back) recover.

Joey Wiemer Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with left knee discomfort. Infielder Andruw Monasterio was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Wiemer was removed from Friday's game after injuring his knee when attempting to catch a ball in left field. Wiemer struggled in his first major league season last year with a .204/.283/.362 line. He hit 13 home runs and swiped 11 bags. The 25-year-old carried his struggles into the early part of this season with a disappointing .174/.208/.174 line with no home runs and just one stolen base. The Brewers will have a revolving door in left field for the time being, splitting between Sal Frelick, Jackson Chouiro, and Jake Bauers. Rookie Jackson Chourio was given the nod to man left field in Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs and will face Jameson Taillon, who is entering the game with a stellar 1.50 ERA.

Joey Wiemer Absent On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer is absent from Thursday's starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This appears to be a routine rest day for the struggling outfielder. Since the All-Star break, Wiemer is slashing .227/.282/.318 in 71 plate appearances. In his absence, Sal Frelick will cover center field and bat cleanup versus right-hander Lance Lynn on Thursday. This could be an interesting spot for Frelick against a struggling pitcher in Lynn.

Joey Wiemer Scratched With Stomach Virus

Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Joey Wiemer (illness) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies due to a stomach virus, according to the team. Blake Perkins will take over in center field and will hit in the nine-hole against Rockies right-hander Chris Flexen. First baseman Carlos Santana is out sick for the second straight day as well, so perhaps there is a bug floating around Milwaukee's clubhouse. Wiemer should be considered day-to-day for now, and with an off day coming on Thursday, perhaps he's feeling good enough to play on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. The 24-year-old has 13 home runs and 11 stolen bases in his first 109 big-league games in 2023, but he's also hitting just .216 (71-for-329) with a weak .293 on-base percentage.

Joey Wiemer Sitting Out On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer is not in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This was expected after the Brewers decided to recall outfielder Sal Frelick on Saturday. Frelick will probably cut into Wiemer's playing time going forward. Wiemer is a solid defender, but his .207/.292/.386 slash line isn't strong enough to warrant the Brewers letting him play everyday. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old to see a dip in playing time with Frelick on the big league roster right now.

Joey Wiemer's X-Rays Come Back Negative

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer (hand) was hit by a pitch on his left hand during Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the New York Mets. The team sent him for X-rays after the game, which came back negative, according to MLB.com. That's great news for fantasy managers, as Wiemer has provided decent pop over 78 games, going yard 11 times while batting .213 with 32 runs, 30 RBI, and 10 steals. Still, consider the rookie day-to-day and expect him to miss a couple of games.

Joey Wiemer Grabs Four Hits In Brewers Win

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer went 4-for-4 at the plate in a 10-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday. Wiemer's incredible outing included two home runs and five RBI. The 24-year-old is hitting .231/.299/.429 with eight homers, 23 RBI, and nine swiped bags this season. Fantasy managers should be encouraged as the rookie is showing signs of being an offensive threat early in his career, as he is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak. In the eight contests, Wiemer has recorded 13 hits across 27 at-bats.

Joey Wiemer Getting The Day Off Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer is sitting on the bench for Thursday's contest against Nick Martinez and the San Diego Padres. The Brewers called up the rookie on April 1, and he's been a fixture in the starting lineup since. Wiemer's slashing .222/.333/.361 with one homer, four runs, four RBI, and a pair of stolen bases. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about playing time for the 24-year-old yet, who's been a wizard on defense thus far. The offense might come as he adjusts to Major League pitching, as he hit .287 with a .888 OPS across 43 games at Triple-A in 2022 and has graded out as a power and speed threat.
