Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup for Saturday's tilt with the Reds, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Domingo Santana's return to the outfield, the Brewers have opted to give Nieuwenhuis the day off. The rest day is somewhat surprising considering he is hitting .316 over the past seven days. He is also 3-for-3 against south paws on the season. He will likely return to the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale.
