Perkins is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins has been the Brewers' everyday center fielder since Jackson Chourio (hamstring) got hurt, but he'll retreat to the bench after 10 straight starts. Brandon Lockridge will patrol center field and bat eighth for Milwaukee.

Perkins went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 5-4 win against Atlanta on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins' two-run homer to right field in the fifth inning gave the Brewers a 5-1 lead, and that held up as Atlanta fell short by a run. Perkins continues to thrive in the absence of Jackson Chourio (hamstring); since Chourio got hurt July 29, Perkins has started seven straight games in center field and is batting .323 with three homers, nine runs, six RBI and a stolen base during that span. Perkins went deep just six times over 121 regular-season games last year, and he's already halfway to that mark with three home runs through just 17 contests this season.

Perkins went 2-for-6 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 16-9 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The switch hitter launched both blasts from the right side of the plate, taking Mitchell Parker deep in the second and fifth innings. The homers were the first of the season for Perkins, who is batting .281 (9-for-32) over 12 games since the All-Star break with five extra-base hits (two double, a triple, two home runs), two steals, six RBI and eight runs. With Jackson Chourio (hamstring) set to miss more than the 10-day minimum after being placed on the injured list Friday, Perkins should be in line for an everyday role over the next few weeks.

Perkins went 1-for-1 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base during Sunday's 3-2 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins didn't make the starting nine Sunday, but he entered in the eighth inning as a pinch runner for William Contreras. The outfielder immediately swiped second base and then scored the game-tying run. In the ninth, Perkins stepped into the batter's box and walked it off with a single. Since joining the big-league club July 18, Perkins is 5-for-22 (.227) with three RBI, three runs scored and a pair of steals.

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins will hit the bench for the second day in a row after he had started in five of Milwaukee's six contests before that. With Sal Frelick returning from the injured list Saturday, Perkins looks set to fill more of a fourth-outfielder role moving forward for the Brewers.

Perkins will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Following his call-up from Triple-A Nashville coming out of the All-Star break, Perkins has now started in four of the Brewers' last five games. He's gotten on base at a .357 clip thus far and has contributed a stolen base, and if he can continue to make a decent impact with the plate while bringing his usual solid defense in center field, Perkins should be able to hold down a near-everyday role until Sal Frelick (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

Perkins went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins was called up Friday to provide outfield depth while Sal Frelick (hamstring) is out. Perkins went 1-for-1 off the bench Friday before getting the start in center field for Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old outfielder will be a decent source of speed if he can carve out consistent playing time -- he had 23 steals over 121 games a year ago. For now, he slots in as a switch hitting option who can play all three outfield spots, but that may not lead to an everyday role immediately.

The Brewers recalled Perkins from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins will fill in for the IL-bound Sal Frelick (hamstring), marking Perkins' first MLB action of 2025. He suffered a fractured shin in February and picked up a groin injury during his recovery before being reinstated July 13. He should see regular playing time in right field while Frelick is shelved. Perkins notched a .648 OPS with 23 stolen bases in 434 plate appearances with the Brewers last season.

Perkins (groin/shin) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins will remain with Nashville after finishing his minor-league rehab assignment at the Triple-A level, batting .192 with a home run, two RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases over 26 at-bats in eight games. With Sal Frelick (hamstring) leaving the Brewers' win early Sunday, it's possible that Perkins could be elevated to the major-league roster if Frelick is forced to miss any action when play resumes following the All-Star break. Drew Avans was designated for assignment Sunday, opening a spot on the 40-man roster for Perkins.

Perkins (groin) hopes to re-start a rehab assignment Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perkins had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment for a fractured shin when he suffered a left groin strain last week. He's evidently taken strides in his recovery, though, and should be back in game action soon. It's possible Perkins will be ready to rejoin the Brewers by the start of the second half or shortly after.
