Pitching Matchup: RHP Brandon Woodruff vs. RHP Brady Singer
The headline for the series opener is the highly anticipated return of Milwaukee's Brandon Woodruff. Before his injury, Woodruff was solid, posting a 2-1 record and a 3.60 ERA in six starts. After tuning up with nine innings across minor league rehab assignments, he will be leaned upon to stabilize a Brewers rotation that remains a massive part of their division lead. Countering him is Cincinnati's Brady Singer, who has struggled to a 3-6 record, a 5.32 ERA, and a 1.61 WHIP over 52 strikeouts. Singer will need to rely heavily on his sinker to keep the ball in the yard at the hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park to stifle Milwaukee's offense.

Milwaukee Brewers Lineup
The Brewers enter the matchup with a massive offensive firepower, led by standout catcher William Contreras, who is hitting near the .300 mark and remains the anchor of the batting order. He is flanked by speedy second baseman Brice Turang—who leads the club in RBI—and dynamic young outfielder Jackson Chourio. Veteran hitter Christian Yelich is expected to serve as the DH and bring his consistent on-base capabilities to the top of the order, while offseason addition Jake Bauers provides notable pop, pacing the Brewers in home runs.

Cincinnati Reds Lineup
The Reds are fighting to climb over the .500 mark and rely on a deep and athletic lineup to manufacture runs at home. Outfielder Spencer Steer and veteran slugger Eugenio Suárez provide the primary power, alongside talented young infielders Noelvi Marte and Matt McLain. In the outfield, JJ Bleday and Blake Dunn are expected to put together gritty at-bats at the top of the lineup to set the table for the heart of the order.

Game Context
This series is the first meeting of 2026 between these two NL Central rivals, and it represents a crucial stretch with seven games scheduled between the two teams over the next ten days. Monday's game begins at 7:10 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on Reds.TV and Brewers.TV.
