Monasterio is starting at third base and batting sixth on Monday versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

With Brian Anderson going on paternity leave, Monasterio will be the first to fill in at the hot corner. It's the first start at third base at the major-league level for the 26-year-old.

Monasterio (head) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Monasterio exited Sunday's 5-1 win early after being hit in the head on a tag play, but his removal from the contest was described as precautionary. The rookie's presence in the lineup a day later seemingly supports that sentiment, but Monasterio's playing time is soon expected to take a hit. Willy Adames (concussion) looks on track to return from the 7-day injured list Thursday, which will likely leave Monasterio as the odd man out of the Milwaukee infield.

Monasterio was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with an apparent head injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old took a shot to the face while making a tag on a pickoff throw during the third inning, and he was replaced by a pinch hitter after initially remaining in the contest. Monasterio clubbed his first big-league homer during the opening frame to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead, which was his lone plate appearance before leaving the game.
