Adrian Houser Receives Win Against White Sox
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Adrian Houser (6-5) allowed two hits and a walk with two strikeouts over two scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the White Sox.

Freddy Peralta Only Goes Four Inning In No-Decision
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta allowed a hit and two walks while striking out five over four scoreless innings versus the White Sox on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base, and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating isn't it?

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brad Boxberger (shoulder) should be available out of the Brewers bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
