The Brewers have scored the third-most runs in MLB, while the Reds sit 13th.
Prior to a strong start against the Miami Marlins, Berrios had struggled over the summer, posting a season-high 5.64 ERA in July and following it up with a 4.64 mark in August.
Toronto has been juggling a six-man rotation since Bieber made his return from Tommy John Surgery, with Eric Lauer and Chris Bassitt also in the mix.
If all six were taking their regular turn, Berrios would have been lined up to face the Brewers on Saturday. Instead, he'll receive an extra two days' rest while Gausman and Scherzer each have five days between starts.
