Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

With the Brewers facing lefty Scott Kazmir on Thursday, manager Craig Counsell will plug Keon Broxton in center in place of the lefty Nieuwenhuis. Interestingly, Nieuwenhuis has had more success against southpaws (.250 AVG, .950 OPS) than he has against righties (.215 AVG, .684 OPS) this season, so he could be in line for a start when the Brewers face young lefty Julio Urias on Friday.
