Perkins was diagnosed with a right leg fracture Saturday after fouling a pitch off his shin during live batting practice, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Pat Murphy said Perkins will require 3-to-4 weeks to recover, and he likely won't be able to play in games for the Brewers until May. The 28-year-old entered camp as the favorite to win a roster spot as Milwaukee's reserve outfielder, but his injury likely leaves the newly signed Manuel Margot as the frontrunner for the job.

Perkins is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

It marks the third time over the Brewers' last four games versus right-handed pitching that Perkins has been absent from the lineup. Milwaukee is going with Garrett Mitchell in center field.

Perkins went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins was especially pesky in the seventh inning, swiping two bags and scoring to extend the Brewers' lead to 6-2. He has gone just 5-for-43 in 12 September contests but has still managed four thefts. On the season, the 28-year-old is hitting .247 with six home runs, 41 RBI, 50 runs scored and 22 steals across 404 plate appearances.

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

For just the third time in 13 games on the month, Perkins will take a seat while Milwaukee goes with a starting outfield of Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick from left to right. Since returning from a stint on the injured list Aug. 22, Perkins has slashed an anemic .197/.287/.258 over 19 games. He could soon be at risk of moving into more of a fourth-outfielder role.

Perkins in not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins's last day off was Sept. 2, which had been his only day off for the month until Thursday. Garrett Mitchell has the start in center field, batting second while Sal Frelick enters in right field.

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

EDGE Analysis

Perkins had started each of the last three games and nine of the last 10 in center field, but he will begin Monday's series opener on the bench. Garrett Mitchell will be in center for Milwaukee.

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.
