Brewers' William Contreras: Heads to bench Saturday
Contreras is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Contreras just had a day off Thursday, so it's a little surprising to see him sit again in favor of Victor Caratini. He's been in a bad way at the plate in recent weeks (.140/.260/.302 over his last 12 games), so perhaps manager Craig Counsell is simply trying to get his young catcher going again with some extra rest.

Brewers' William Contreras: Homers, strikes out twice
Contreras went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Rays.
Contreras clubbed a monster 427-foot two-run home run in the fifth frame off Cooper Criswell as part of a four-run inning for the Brewers. However, the 25-year-old struck out twice Sunday, reaching that mark for the third time in his last four appearances. After slashing .278/.354/.506 with 20 homers with Atlanta last season, Contreras has touted a quieter .252/.342/.405 slash line with four long balls across 36 games in 2023.

Brewers' William Contreras: Heads to bench
Contreras will sit Saturday against the Rays.
Contreras will get a rest after starting seven of the last eight games.

Victor Caratini starts behind the plate in his absence.
