Nieuwenhuis was forced to leave Friday's game with an abdominal strain, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Keon Broxton also injured earlier in Friday's game, the Brewers may have to scramble to find a center fielder for the rest of the season. It's unclear how long Nieuwenhuis will be out, but abdominal strains can linger, so there's no guarantee he'll be back on the field before season's end.
