Lucroy has been medically cleared to play but the Brewers are waiting for him to be formally cleared to exit concussion protocol, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paperwork is all that stands between Lucroy and his return to the field. Assuming the union pushes it through in short order, Lucroy will likely slot back into the lineup at some point this weekend in St. Louis. The Brewers are not expected to return Lucroy behind the plate over the final weeks, meaning his playing time will come at first base.
