2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bauers didn't see MLB action in 2022 for the second time in the previous three seasons, but he clubbed 12 home runs in 84 games for the Yankees last year. His .202/.279/.413 slash line and 34.9 percent strikeout rate were unsightly, but he had an 18.7 percent barrel rate and 48 percent hard-hit rate. Those numbers are likely what prompted the Brewers to trade for him early in the offseason, which for a time lined him up to potentially fill the large side of a platoon at first base following the departures of Carlos Santana and Rowdy Tellez. Bauers had a 10 percent walk rate in 2023 and has maintained a solid eye in the big leagues, but otherwise his track record in the majors as a below-average defender with a .663 OPS in 412 career games shouldn't excite fantasy managers, even if he is seeing a fair amount of playing time. However, Milwaukee's signing of Rhys Hoskins, who missed of 2023 recovering from a torn ACL, is likely to limit Bauers to more of a bench role. Read Past Outlooks

Idle against LHP
Bauers is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Bauers will be on the bench for a third consecutive game, and Saturday's absence is the first against a southpaw in that span. Rhys Hoskins will play first base and bat sixth.

Stat Review
How does Jake Bauers compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
2016
Bauers came to the big leagues in 2018 with a good track record of hitting and a reputation for a willingness to accept his walks from opposing pitchers. Through two seasons at the big-league level, the walk rate has stuck, but little else has. He has been overmatched by most pitchers and has not hit for much power. Those two things coupled with below-average defensive abilities kept him off the major-league roster in 2020 as Bauers could not get out of the alternative camp. Bauers has shown no ability to hit lefty pitching, and has not done much with the time he has been afforded against righties either. He is out of minor-league options, so 2021 becomes a make-or-break time for him in Cleveland.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![MIL](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100MIL.png?v=6)
Drop in playing time likely
Rhys Hoskins could return from his hamstring injury as early as this weekend against the White Sox, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, and Bauers' playing time is likely to take a hit once Hoskins is activated from the injured list.
ANALYSIS
Bauers is making his seventh straight start at third base Thursday against the Cubs, but that run should soon come to an end. The 28-year-old has a .757 OPS in May but has a 31.1 percent strikeout rate during that span and is hitless in his past 14 at-bats. Bauers' roster spot is likely safe, but he could return to a more limited platoon role once Hoskins is activated.
