Mar 25 2025The Royals optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer had a nice Cactus League showing, sporting an .838 OPS with two home runs and three stolen bases. In spite of that, he will begin the season at Omaha.
Nov 22 2024The Reds traded Wiemer and Jonathan India to the Royals on Friday in exchange for Brady Singer. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer went just 4-for-26 with nine strikeouts in 21 big-league games played between Milwaukee and Cincinnati last season. His performance in the minors wasn't great either, as he slashed .189/.277/.226 in 119 plate appearances with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate after being traded at the deadline. Once regarded as a top prospect in the Brewers' farm system, the 25-year-old Wiemer will look to turn things around with the Royals, though he will likely report to Triple-A Omaha.
Aug 7 2024The Reds optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer was with the big club for a few days while Will Benson was on paternity leave, but Wiemer will now head back to the minors with Benson back in the fold. During his brief time with the Reds, Wiemer drew a walk in his lone plate appearance.
Aug 4 2024The Reds recalled Wiemer from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Acquired Monday as part of the deal that sent right-hander Frankie Montas to Milwaukee, Wiemer will get the chance to make his Reds debut as he joins the team ahead of its series finale with the Giants. Wiemer likely won't be in line for a long-term stay in Cincinnati, however, as fellow outfielder Will Benson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move and will be away from the team for only 1-to-3 games. The 25-year-old Wiemer has spent the bulk of the season at the Triple-A level, slashing .230/.371/.340 with three home runs and seven stolen bases in 55 games between Nashville and Louisville.
Jul 29 2024Wiemer and right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis were traded to the Reds in exchange for right-handed starter Frankie Montas on Monday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer will get a new opportunity with Cincinnati after struggling to break through with the Brewers. The outfielder has compiled a .224 average with three home runs, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored and six stolen bases over 192 at-bats in 53 games with Triple-A Nashville this year. Wiemer will likely report to Triple-A Louisville with the Reds' organization.
May 26 2024The Brewers optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With infielder Oliver Dunn being called up in a corresponding move, Wiemer will head to Nashville less than a week after returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury. Wiemer has gone 4-for-26 at the dish in his 19 games this season with the Brewers.
May 20 2024The Brewers activated Wiemer (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer has missed most of May with a left knee strain but is ready to roll after a brief rehab assignment. He will provide outfield depth for the Brewers and could draw the occasional start against left-handers.
May 17 2024Wiemer (knee) went 1-for-3 with a run scored in his first rehab game with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer has been out since early May with a left knee strain but has made enough progress to test things out in a game setting. Because he hasn't missed much time, Wiemer's rehab assignment shouldn't last more than a few days.
May 5 2024Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Wiemer (knee) is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Milwaukee placed Wiemer on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he suffered in Friday's win over the Cubs. While Wiemer will be sidelined for beyond the minimum 10 days, he won't require surgery and will be able to treat the injury with rest and rehab. Once he completes his rehab assignment and is activated from the IL, Wiemer could be optioned to Triple-A Nashville, depending on the overall health of the Milwaukee outfield.
May 4 2024Wiemer was diagnosed with a strained popliteus muscle in his left knee Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer added that the results of his MRI revealed no ligament damage. The 25-year-old outfielder fell awkwardly during Friday's win over the Cubs and landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, though it doesn't seem like he will be in line for a long-term IL stint.
May 3 2024Wiemer was removed from Friday's game versus the Cubs with an apparent left knee injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wiemer's knee buckled on him as he was retrieving Nico Hoerner's single down the left field line in the bottom of the eighth inning. After a brief conversation with the trainer, Wiemer walked off the field gingerly. The Brewers should have more on his condition after the game.
