Lorenzo Cain Continues Consistent Start With Two Hits
Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-3 with a walk in the 1-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cain was actually moved to the three-hole for this game while Christian Yelich hit leadoff and delivered a solid performance once again. On the season, Cain is batting .283 with 29 runs, six home runs, 15 RBI, 10 stolen bases and an .843 OPS. With the Brewers proving to be one of baseball's best teams this year, Cain could easily hit over 100 runs with a .275 batting average and 30 stolen bases on the season, solidifying his top-100 value in all formats.

Lorenzo Cain Becomes A Free Agent
Lorenzo Cain cleared release waivers on Thursday and has officially become a free agent. The Brewers designated the struggling Cain for assignment last weekend. It came after he hit just .179/.231/.234 with a homer, nine RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases in 156 plate appearances over 43 games played in 2022. It remains to be seen if the two-time All-Star will latch on with another organization, but Cain is unlikely to be much more than outfield depth if he does. Since joining Milwaukee in 2018, the 36-year-old hit .270/.344/.380 with 30 home runs, 133 RBI, 226 runs scored and 63 stolen bases in 415 games over five seasons.

Lorenzo Cain DFA'd By Brewers
Lorenzo Cain was DFA'd by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, putting an end to his five-year tenure with the team. The decision was a mutual one between Brewers management and Cain, who knew his time in the majors was coming to an end. The former fantasy stud was having a rough go this season, with a .179/.231/.234 slash line and only one home run to go along with two steals. Fantasy managers who have been playing for over a few years will remember his prime years when he was a constant 30-steal guy who could reliably hit .300. His career is likely coming to an end, and what a career it has been.
