Aaron Ashby Still Worth Rostering After Rough June?
Milwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby still leads the league with 12 wins in his 42 appearances (one start) over 52 2/3 innings pitched, which has made him rosterable in fantasy despite not having a path to saves in Milwaukee's bullpen. However, the hard-throwing southpaw struggled in his 13 appearances in June, allowing 12 runs (10 earned) on 14 hits (three homers) while walking eight and striking out 17 in 14 innings pitched. He had two wins, a loss, three blown saves, and three holds during that span. Ashby picked up his 12th victory of the year in his first outing in July, but he allowed another earned run in one-third of an inning in his most recent outing on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks for his fifth hold of 2026. The former fourth-rounder in 2018 out of Crowder College has a career-high 30.6% strikeout rate and has obviously been great in the win department for fantasy managers, but his career-high 12.2% walk rate makes him a bit volatile as well. Ashby might pick up a save here or there, but fantasy managers can't necessarily count on the wins continuing to flow. He's rostered in 36% of Yahoo leagues.

Shane Drohan an Emerging Waiver Target in Transition to Starting Role?
The Milwaukee Brewers moved left-hander Shane Drohan from the bullpen to their starting rotation at the beginning of June after he posted a 2.63 ERA (2.41 FIP) with 28 strikeouts and eight walks in 27 1/3 innings (one start) to begin the 2026 season. Since moving to the rotation on June 1, Drohan has allowed 10 earned runs (3.65 ERA) on 25 hits (three homers) while walking nine and striking out 24 in five starts across 24 2/3 innings pitched. The 27-year-old former fifth-rounder by the Boston Red Sox in 2020 out of Florida State University has recorded one quality start over that span. He hasn't provided much length, which is understandable as he transitions from a reliever to a starter, but he's also allowed three or fewer earned runs in four of his five starts for the Brew Crew. Drohan went 4 1/3 scoreless innings with three walks and five punchouts in 4 1/3 innings on June 24 against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds, and he's scheduled to face them again at home on Wednesday. Against a Reds team that has the fourth-most strikeouts in baseball, Drohan is an interesting deep-league streamer and waiver-wire consideration.

Aaron Ashby Remains an Intriguing Waiver-Wire Target Despite Lack of Saves
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby picked up his MLB-leading 11th win of 2026 on Monday, pitching a scoreless eighth inning in his team's 5-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Ashby has been extremely valuable in a high-leverage bullpen role for Milwaukee so far this season, recording a 3.24 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 68 strikeouts across 50 innings (39 games). The 28-year-old's 12% walk rate inflates his WHIP, but he's also struck out 31.5% of the batters he's faced this year. The Brewers have Trevor Megill entrenched as their closer, so Ashby is unlikely to provide fantasy managers with saves. Still, Ashby's ability to work multiple innings and Milwaukee's willingness to use him in close games has consistently put him in position to pick up wins while racking up strikeouts. Particularly in deeper league formats, Ashby could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Abner Uribe to Serve One-Game Suspension on Wednesday
The Milwaukee Brewers said that right-handed reliever Abner Uribe will serve his one-game suspension on Wednesday night in Cincinnati against the division-rival Reds, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Major League Baseball handed Uribe a one-game suspension for what they deemed an unsportsmanlike celebration during his relief appearance against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals in late May. He has continued to be available out of Milwaukee's bullpen while appealing the suspension, but he'll now accept the ban after pitching in four of the last five days. He'll be unavailable for the series finale on Wednesday at Great American Ballpark, but he'll be back in the Brewers' bullpen for Friday's series opener at home against the division-rival Chicago Cubs. Right-hander Trevor Megill is the team's primary closer, but Uribe has value in fantasy leagues that count holds. Going into Wednesday's action, the 26-year-old Dominican hurler has a 4-2 record with a 3.38 ERA (3.44 FIP), 1.12 WHIP, five saves, 31 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 29 1/3 relief innings. Uribe is rostered in 56% of Yahoo leagues.

Aaron Ashby Continues to Rack Up Wins, Attracting More Waiver Interest
Milwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby doesn't always pitch in high-leverage spots at the end of games, but he's still been clutch out of the bullpen for the first-place Brewers and for fantasy managers alike in 2026. The 28-year-old southpaw has an MLB-leading 10 wins (zero losses) in his 33 appearances (one start as an opener) while pitching to a 2.80 ERA (2.85 FIP) and 1.33 WHIP with 61 strikeouts and 22 walks in 45 innings pitched. Ashby actually has a 6.00 ERA (5.43 FIP) with four walks and 10 strikeouts in nine innings pitched over seven outings in June, but it hasn't stopped him from picking up a win and two holds. He gave up a run in his last outing on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians, but the Brewers once again bailed him out for his major-league-leading 10th victory. Not only is Ashby attractive as a vulture for wins off the waiver wire, but he's also sporting a career-high 31.6% strikeout rate. A career-high 11.4% walk rate is getting him in trouble, too. If you need wins, Ashby might be worth targeting, and he's rostered in only 36% of Yahoo leagues.

Trevor Megill Battling Side/Oblique Tightness
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (side/oblique) is dealing with side/oblique tightness, per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Megill was unavailable for Milwaukee's game on Monday, but Rosiak reports that he should be available to pitch on Tuesday against the Athletics. Across 23 innings (24 games) this season, the 32-year-old has pitched to a 4.70 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and eight saves. Milwaukee has utilized both Megill and right-hander Abner Uribe in the closer role in 2026, but Megill has appeared in the ninth inning or later in six straight appearances and looked to be the team's preferred option for saves before the injury. It seems as though Megill has avoided a major injury, but his health status is still worth monitoring for fantasy managers until he's fully in the clear.

Trevor Megill was Unavailable on Monday Due to "Discomfort"
Milwaukee Brewers right-handed closer Trevor Megill (undisclosed) was battling some "discomfort" and was unavailable to close the door in Monday night's wild 15-14, 12-inning win over the Athletics in Las Vegas, manager Pat Murphy told Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Right-hander Chad Patrick picked up his third save of the year in a scoreless inning of work while walking one and striking out two. Abner Uribe earned his fourth win of the year by pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings with a walk and two strikeouts, and he would be Milwaukee's primary option for saves in the future if Megill's injury turns into something serious that keeps him out beyond Monday. The 25-year-old Uribe is 4-2 on the season with a 3.80 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, five saves, and 25 strikeouts in his 23 2/3 innings of work. He's rostered in 58% of Yahoo leagues already. It's worth noting that Megill dealt with a flexor strain in his right arm late last year and required a platelet-rich plasma injection in the offseason. Fantasy managers speculating on saves may want to add Uribe now.

Aaron Ashby Carries Deep-League Waiver-Wire Appeal
Milwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby is off to a dominant start to the 2026 season, as he's recorded a 9-0 record with a 2.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 53 strikeouts across 38 1/3 innings (28 games). With Ashby's ability to work more than one inning, Milwaukee has opted to keep him in a fireman role rather than move him to the ninth inning. While the lack of saves limits Ashby's fantasy upside, his role with the Brewers still allows him to provide value for fantasy managers. Given his frequent appearances in high-leverage situations, Ashby should continue to find himself in position to rack up wins. He's also struck out 32.5% of the batters he's faced so far this season. In deeper league formats, Ashby may have more value as a waiver wire target than a below-average starting pitcher.

Brewers Prospect Craig Yoho Earns the Call, Will he Have a Prominent Role?
The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Friday that they recalled right-handed pitching prospect Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville. In a corresponding move, the Brewers placed pitcher DL Hall (pectoral) on the 15-day injured list after he was injured in Thursday's contest. Yoho, who is the team's No. 27 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is expected to fill a bullpen role in his return to the big leagues, leaving him little fantasy appeal. The 26-year-old former eighth-round selection in 2023 out of Indiana University Bloomington made his big-league debut last year and allowed seven earned runs on eight hits (one homer) while walking nine and striking out seven in 8 2/3 relief innings. He gets the call for the first time in 2026 after allowing only four runs (two earned) with five walks and 24 strikeouts in 18 innings out of the bullpen at Nashville. The 6-foot-2, 237-pounder's nasty changeup is his bread-and-butter pitch and induces plenty of swings and misses and soft contact. Without a clear path to saves in his return to the majors, though, Yoho can be ignored in most fantasy leagues.

Aaron Ashby's High-Leverage Role Provides Fantasy Value Despite Lack of Saves
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby has a case as the most valuable relief pitcher in baseball so far this season. Across 36 innings (26 games), Ashby has recorded a 9-0 record with a 2.00 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 51 strikeouts. The 28-year-old's WHIP is inflated by his 11.9% walk rate, but he's struck out 33.8% of the batters he's faced. Ashby also owns an impressive 56.8% ground-ball rate and has been taken deep just one time in 2026. Milwaukee appears likely to continue utilizing Ashby in a fireman role and relying on the combination of right-handers Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill in the ninth inning. Still, Ashby's high-leverage usage has allowed him to rack up wins at a prolific rate. Even if Ashby slows down from his current 25-win pace, he should provide fantasy managers with an elite strikeout rate and plenty of assistance in the ERA category. Particularly in deeper leagues, Ashby is a worthy waiver wire target.

Trevor Megill Tallies Eighth Save for Brewers, Fully in Control of Ninth-Inning Job?
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill locked up three saves last week, two of which came in the Brewers' most recent series in Houston over the weekend. On the season, Megill now owns a 4.29 ERA (2.87 xERA) and 1.05 WHIP with 27 strikeouts in 21 innings pitched. He has also converted on eight of his nine save opportunities, and has demonstrated solid control with a 7.1 percent walk rate. While there has been a lot of hype around Abner Uribe, who has pretty electric stuff, Uribe has not showcased as much consistency and control as Megill, leading Brewers manager Pat Murphy to side with the 32-year-old veteran more often than the young 25-year-old Uribe. While it's possible Uribe will still snipe a couple of saves from Megill throughout the season, Megill appears to be the guy to own out of the two, and although Megill may not finish as a top 10 closer because of that, he is still a reliever that should be viewed as one of the more efficient closers in the game when given the chances. Additionally, Uribe has not recorded a save since May 19 against the Cubs.

Trevor Megill Earns Another Save for Brewers, Emerging as Must-Start Closer Again?
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill picked up his seventh save of the season on Friday, securing his second save in as many appearances. The veteran reliever appears to be turning a corner after a rocky April, posting a 2.00 ERA during May while reestablishing himself as Milwaukee's preferred ninth-inning option. Megill owns a 4.50 ERA on the season and has recorded 25 strikeouts in 20 innings and continues to lead the club in saves. Abner Uribe remains in the mix for occasional save chances, although Megill has handled the majority of the recent opportunities. With the Brewers continuing to pile up wins, fantasy managers should not overly concerned about a lack of save chances. Megill is trending in the right direction entering June and remains an elite source of saves.

Abner Uribe Gets One-Game Suspension
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe has been suspended one game by the MLB for his inappropriate celebration during Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Uribe did a crotch-chopping celebration toward the Cardinals' dugout following an inning-ending strikeout. He is appealing the suspension and is available to pitch until the appeal is heard and a final decision is made. The right-hander holds a 4.19 ERA and a 21:8 K:BB ratio with five saves across 19.1 innings of work this season. Uribe is a key piece to the Brewers' bullpen, so hopefully he won't get himself into more trouble with these types of stunts.

Trevor Megill Earns Save on Wednesday, Can He Fully Reclaim Ninth-Inning Job?
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill secured his team's 2-1 win on Wednesday, allowing just an infield hit to Masyn Winn. Winn stole second and advanced to third base on a sacrifice fly, but Megill struck out pinch-hitter Yohel Pozo to end the game. Megill earned his sixth save of the year and has not allowed a run in his last four outings. On the season, he has a 4.74 ERA but only a 1.75 FIP. He should be due for some positive ERA regression, according to his advanced metrics, and could step back in as the primary closer for the Brewers, especially with Abner Uribe drawing criticism for his on-field celebrations. Both pitchers will remain critically important to the Brew Crew, but Megill may have a slight advantage in save chances going forward. If he's on the waiver wire and you need saves, he's a nice addition in most formats.

Aaron Ashby a Waiver-Wire Candidate Despite Having Zero Saves
Milwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby has zero saves and zero holds in 33 innings pitched so far in 2026 in 24 appearances (one start), but he's rostered in 38% of Yahoo leagues. He's made up for that with a league-high eight wins, a 2.18 ERA (2.25 FIP), and a 1.30 WHIP with a career-best 33.6% strikeout rate in 33 innings pitched for the Brew Crew. The 28-year-old southpaw originally came up in the Brewers' system as a starting pitcher, but frequent injuries have turned him into a full-time reliever. The role has suited him well because of his high-end velocity and swing-and-miss secondary offerings. Fantasy managers cannot rely on Ashby to continue vulturing wins, though, and he's also sporting a career-high 12.1% walk rate. However, his strikeout upside in a high-leverage, multi-inning role makes him attractive in deeper leagues. He was also quite good in 2025, sporting a 2.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, a career-high three saves, and a 76:24 K:BB in 66 2/3 innings.
