Did the Brewers drop in latest MLB power rankings?

Despite dropping consecutive series to the Detroit Tigers and the Pittsburgh Pirates, it appears the most of the national baseball media that ranks teams somewhat understands that a rash of injuries are contributing to the Brewers' often inconsistent offense (at least prior to a 13-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks when the team scored eight runs in the sixth inning. April 28).

They won't be facing the 2025 Cy Young Award winners on back-to-back days anytime soon as they did last week, either

Though inability to hit home runs without Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich and Andrew Vaughn in the lineup is significant, some writers logically also note reasons why the Brewers have been able to stay competitive without three key run producers in their lineup. It also doesn't hurt to have Jacob Misiorowski in your starting rotation.
