The Brewers placed Ross on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a low-back strain. Ross had to be removed from Monday's start versus the Marlins with the injury, although manager Pat Murphy said it's something that's bothered the pitcher for a while, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The hope is that the right-hander's absence will not be a lengthy one. Tobias Myers has taken Ross' spot on the roster and could also take his place in the rotation.

The Brewers placed Ross on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a low-back strain. Ross had to be removed from Monday's start versus the Marlins with the injury, although manager Pat Murphy said it's something that's bothered the pitcher for a while, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The hope is that the right-hander's absence will not be a lengthy one. Tobias Myers has taken Ross' spot on the roster and could also take his place in the rotation.
Bauers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. Bauers will give way to Owen Miller at the cold corner for a second straight night as the Marlins trot out another lefty starter. Bauers delivered a pinch-hit double during Monday's extra-innings loss.
Turang is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. Turang isn't starting for a second straight game, with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for Tuesday's contest. Instead, Andruw Monasterio will lead off and play second base.
Ortiz (foot) is batting fifth and playing third base Tuesday against Miami. Ortiz was hit in the foot by a pitch during Monday's loss but won't be forced to miss any time after his X-rays came back clean. Since April 26, Ortiz is batting .328 with five home runs as the Brewers' everyday third baseman.
Yelich went 0-for-3 with two walks, two steals and a run scored in Monday's loss to Miami. Yelich stole his fifth and sixth bases of the season in the sixth inning. First, the Brewers outfielder stole second before catching starter Ryan Weathers off guard on a throw back from his catcher, taking the opportunity to swipe home. Overall, Yelich is slashing .321/.398/.564 in 89 plate appearances this season.
Megill blew the save in Monday's loss to the Marlins. He allowed one run on two hits and no walks over one inning while striking out one. Megill gathered the first two outs of the ninth inning on three pitches before yielding a single to Nick Gordon. Gordon promptly stole second and then was subsequently driven home via an Otto Lopez single to tie the game. This is Megill's first blown save of the season, so he should maintain his role as the Milwaukee closer.
X-rays on Ortiz's right foot came back negative following Monday's game against Miami, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports. Ortiz appeared to be in good spirits following Monday's loss, and he stated that his foot was feeling good, per Leckie. The Brewers will re-evaluate Ortiz on Tuesday morning to determine his availability moving forward.
Ross (back) is expected to require a stint on the 15-day injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Ross was forced from Monday's start after his back tightened up, and he was later diagnosed with a low back strain. The club will likely wait to see how he responds Tuesday morning before making an official roster move. Milwaukee is already thin when it comes to starting pitching, so the team will once again be forced to turn to their farm system for help. Aaron Ashby and Tobias Myers are candidates to fill in if it's confirmed Ross requires a trip to the IL.
