Burke went 18-for-46 (.391) with six home runs, five doubles, 26 RBI, three stolen bases and a 1:6 BB:K over his last 11 games with Double-A Biloxi.
Burke went throw a slow stretch after hitting six home runs over his first six games of the season, but he has gotten hot again in a big way. The 23-year-old now has 18 long balls, 18 doubles, 17 steals and an .899 OPS on the season -- marks that only solidify his stance as one of Milwaukee's better prospects.
Bauers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Bauers chased Eduardo Rodriguez from the game with a no-out homer in the seventh inning. This was Bauers' third homer over his last 11 contests, a span in which he's added seven RBI. The 30-year-old is now batting .266 with an .861 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI, 51 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 79 games this season.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Earns save Sunday
Rotowire
Megill walked one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He didn't record a strikeout.
Megill successfully protected a one-run lead to pick up his 13th save of the season. He's on a 12-inning scoreless streak which began June 10, and he's posted a 15:3 K:BB with four saves, a win and a hold in that span. For the season, the right-hander has a 3.09 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 44:10 K:BB through 35 innings, and he looks much more in control of the closer job thanks to his strong recent form.

Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Inefficient in no-decision
Rotowire
Sproat allowed a run on five hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Sproat was inefficient Sunday, throwing 55 of 92 pitches for strikes in this short start. Since the beginning of June, he has allowed 11 runs over 30 innings across six starts. He's at a 5.13 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 84:37 K:BB across 79 innings through 17 games (15 starts) this season, but he's trending in the right direction. Sproat should remain in the rotation even with Logan Henderson (back) slated to return during the coming week, as Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) was shelved following his injury Saturday. Sproat is projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.
The Brewers recalled Rom from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander was optioned to Nashville on June 22 but is back in the majors since Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is headed to the injured list. Rom gave up just two earned runs and struck out 10 across his 5.1 frames with the Brewers, though he also allowed six hits and four walks.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Moves to injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Woodruff on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Manager Pat Murphy said after Woodruff departed Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks that the right-hander is dealing with an inflamed labrum, so his move to the IL isn't a surprise. The 33-year-old dealt with a similar injury earlier this season that led to a "dead arm" feeling and sidelined him for six weeks, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, with the return of a cyst being a possible cause for why Woodruff is experiencing that sensation once again. It's unclear how long Woodruff is expected to be out this time around, but he's likely to be shelved for well beyond the 15-day minimum. Woodruff has been effective this season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the shoulder problems continue to limit his availability.
Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
This was Turang's second three-hit effort in a row and his third such performance during a seven-game hitting streak. He also reached 20 doubles on the season with a pair of two-baggers in this contest. For the year, the second baseman is batting .269 with an .824 OPS, 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 83 games.

Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Homers off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Chourio went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Chourio got a breather to begin this game before entering as a pinch hitter for Jake Bauers in the seventh inning and remaining in the game. In the ninth, Chourio hit his 13th homer of the year, but the Brewers' comeback came up a run short. The outfielder is now batting .293 with an .879 OPS, 35 RBI, 38 runs scored, 13 doubles and six stolen bases over 53 contests. He has gone 16-for-62 (.258) with six extra-base hits over his last 15 games.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Goes yard in loss
Rotowire
Yelich went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Yelich had gone 0-for-12 over his previous four games, though he did draw five walks in that span. His lone hit Saturday was a fifth-inning homer off Merrill Kelly that got the Brewers on the board. Yelich is now batting .246 with a .720 OPS, six homers, 28 RBI, 40 runs scored, six stolen bases, 10 doubles and a triple over 54 contests this season.
Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Will go on IL with labrum injury
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Woodruff was diagnosed with an inflamed labrum in his right shoulder following his early exit from Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks and will be placed on the injured list, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Woodruff will go on the IL for the second time this season due to a labrum injury, with his first stint lasting about six weeks. If he faces a similar recovery timeline this time around, Woodruff wouldn't be a rotation option for the Brewers until at least early August. Woodruff ended up taking the loss in Saturday, when he allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six across 3.2 innings.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Exits game with trainer
Rotowire
Woodruff was removed in the fourth inning of Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks due to an apparent injury, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Woodruff's velocity was noticeably down prior to his exit, with his fastball sitting around 87 mph and his changeup at 73 mph in the fourth inning, per Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv. Woodruff left the mound with a trainer, and he'll finish his night having allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six across 3.2 innings. A recurrence of the shoulder issues that have bothered Woodruff all season is a likely explanation, but an official update on his status should be provided in the near future.

Brewers' Logan Henderson: Next outing to be in majors
Rotowire
Henderson (back) will be activated from the IL to make his next start for the Brewers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson last pitched for Milwaukee on May 22 and subsequently landed on the IL due to a back strain. He's since made two minor-league rehab starts, tossing a combined 6.2 innings, during which he's allowed two runs while posting an 11:2 K:BB. Henderson is now slated to return to the Brewers' rotation, and his return start is likely to come next week during Milwaukee's series against St. Louis.
