Thames is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Thames returns to the bench for the fourth time in the last six games as he is 4-for-36 with 22 strikeouts in August. Christian Yelich shifts to right field with Ryan Braun starting in left, which may continue to be a common occurrence with Thames' continued struggles.

Thames is out of the lineup against Pittsburgh on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Thames will remain on the bench for a second straight game as Ryan Braun gets another start in left field as Milwaukee welcomes the Pirates to town. Since the start of August, Thames has gone just 3-for-31 (.097 average) with two home runs and 20 strikeouts. With Braun swinging a hot bat, expect to see him receive more action for the time being.

Thames is not in the lineup versus the Reds on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Thames will head back to the bench after going 0-for-2 with a walk and one run scored during Tuesday's loss. That marked his first start since Friday, when he suffered a right knee injury in an outfield collision with Lorenzo Cain. Since manager Craig Counsell has a batch of reliable outfielders to work with, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see Thames get another day off as he works back to full health. Ryan Braun will man left field and bat sixth during the series finale.

Thames (knee) is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Thames will stay on the bench for the third straight contest after leaving Friday's outing with a sore right knee following a collision with Lorenzo Cain in the outfield. He was able to enter both games this past weekend, during which he went 0-for-2 with one walk in three plate appearances. It doesn't appear as though this issue will force him to spend time on the DL, so consider him day-to-day prior to Tuesday's affair.

EDGE Analysis
Thames exited Friday's contest with a sore right knee after an outfield collision with Lorenzo Cain. He didn't start Saturday, though he did appear off the bench, striking out in both of his plate appearances. He'll get at least one more day to rest his knee, with Christian Yelich sliding over to right field and Ryan Braun starting in left.

Thames (knee) isn't in Saturday's starting lineup against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Thames will get a day to recover after exiting Friday's ballgame with right knee soreness following a collision with Lorenzo Cain in the outfield. It doesn't appear as though Thames will require a trip to the disabled list, so he'll be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Thames was lifted from Friday's game against the Cardinals due to right knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Thames collided with Lorenzo Cain in the first inning on a ball hit to the outfield fence. Although he managed to remain in the game immediately after the collision, Hernan Perez replaced Thames in right field a few innings later. Consider him day-to-day moving forward.

Thames is on the bench against the left-handed Jose Quintana and the Cubs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers' lineup grew even more crowded at the deadline after the team acquired Mike Moustakas and Jonathan Schoop, but Thames' role is clear. He's started against every righty and sat against every lefty since the All-Star break. Christian Yelich will be Milwaukee's right fielder Tuesday, with Ryan Braun in left.
