Perkins is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

Perkins is out of the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins started the previous six games but will take a seat for Friday's matinee. He's gone 6-for-21 with two doubles, four walks, four RBI and three runs since returning from the injured list last week. Garrett Mitchell will instead start in center field against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Before he landed on the injured list Aug. 12 with a right calf strain, Perkins had been serving as the Brewers' fourth outfielder, but he seems to have moved into a near-everyday role since being activated last Thursday. The switch-hitting Perkins will pick up his sixth consecutive start Thursday, with four of those coming against right-handed pitchers. Perkins is getting on base at a .409 clip since returning from the IL and appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Garrett Mitchell as the Brewers' preferred option in center field.

The Brewers activated Perkins (calf) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins required a minimum-length absence for a right calf strain and didn't go out on a rehab assignment prior to being activated. The 27-year-old outfielder should be deployed mostly against left-handed pitching by the Brewers down the stretch.

Perkins (calf) will take batting practice Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming Perkins is able to avoid any setbacks, the plan is for him to return to the Brewers ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals. With Christian Yelich (back) set to miss the rest of the season, the 27-year-old Perkins will have more opportunities to start in Milwaukee's outfield, likely filling in for Sal Frelick or Garrett Mitchell against left-handed starters.

The Brewers placed Perkins on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right calf strain.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder will be sidelined for at least a week and a half with the injury, which he likely sustained in Sunday's loss to the Reds. In the meantime, infielder Tyler Black was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to replace Perkins on the major-league roster.

Perkins is likely unavailable to play Monday against the Dodgers due to a calf issue, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins evidently tweaked his calf during Sunday's loss to the Reds. The Brewers have added Tyler Black to the taxi squad, and he could be recalled from Triple-A Nashville if Perkins requires a stint on the injured list.

Perkins went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins produced a pair of go-ahead plays, delivering an RBI single in the fifth inning and a two-run single in the sixth. He was one of four Brewers to log multiple hits in the contest. He's had inconsistent playing time, but the switch hitter typically is in the lineup versus southpaws, as Perkins continues to platoon with Garrett Mitchell in center field. Perkins is at a .260/.333/.367 slash line with 16 steals, six home runs, 34 RBI and 40 runs scored over 315 plate appearances.

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
After making his fifth consecutive start in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates, Perkins has now found himself on the bench twice in the Brewers' three-game series with the Nationals. The switch-hitting Perkins should still be a regular part of the lineup against left-handed pitching, but he looks set to serve as Milwaukee's fourth outfielder more often than not when the team faces righties.

Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll stick in the lineup for a fifth straight start after going 4-for-15 with a home run, three walks and a stolen base across the prior four contests, Perkins still looks to be the Brewers' fourth outfielder. Each of Perkins' prior four starts came against left-handers, and he'll remain in the lineup Thursday against Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes while Jackson Chourio exits the starting nine in what appears to be a routine off day. Some combination of Chourio, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich still appears to be the Brewers' preferred starting outfield trio and designated hitter versus right-handed pitching.
