Nieuwenhuis got the start in center field and hit eighth in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Pirates, going 1-for-4 with two RBI.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear at this point how the Brewers will be splitting up playing time in center field following the demotion of Keon Broxton, but Nieuwenhuis has made the most of his limited opportunities so far, slashing .250/.400/.500 with a home run and four RBI in just 12 at-bats on the season. If he keeps hitting eighth, however, it will be tough for him to remain productive even he wins a majority of the CF at-bats over Ramon Flores.
