Bauers will start in left field and bat eighth in Thursday's NLCS Game 3 versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers drew the start in left field in Game 2 and went 0-for-3 at the dish, but he'll get another opportunity in Game 3 as the series moves to Los Angeles. The 30-year-old Bauers was one of the Brewers' best hitters down the stretch of the regular season, slashing .360/.458/.560 with a pair of home runs in September. He's gone 3-for-8 with one home run, one double and a 1:1 BB:K in four games this postseason.

Bauers will start at first base and bat seventh Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers was limited to just one pinch-hitting appearance in the first two games of the series, drawing a walk in that trip to the dish. He'll get a chance to start Wednesday against Cubs righty Jameson Taillon as the Brewers look to advance to the NLCS.

Bauers is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers had a recent stretch with four straight starts at first base, but he'll yield the position to Andrew Vaughn on Monday for the fifth time across the last seven tilts. The 29-year-old Bauers did draw one start in left field during the latter stretch, but he looks to have fallen back behind Vaughn on the first-base depth chart.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Bauers will take a seat against left-hander Matthew Liberatore, allowing Andrew Vaughn to draw the start at first base. Bauers has taken hold of the strong side of a platoon at first base with Vaughn as the regular season winds down.

Bauers went 3-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers logged his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 7 versus the Pirates. The first baseman looked to be gaining playing time early in the week, but this was just his third start in the last five games as Andrew Vaughn has reclaimed a share of the action at first base. Bauers is batting .405 (15-for-37) over 14 games this month and is up to a .235/.345/.400 slash line with seven home runs, eight steals, 27 RBI and 27 runs scored across 200 plate appearances this season.

Bauers isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers will take a seat Tuesday after making four consecutive starts at first base, during which he went 2-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored. Andrew Vaughn will replace him in the starting nine and bat sixth.

Bauers will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers will stick in the lineup for the fourth straight game, with all of those starts coming against right-handed pitchers. Though his playing time could tail off once his bat begins to cool, Bauers appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the Brewers' preferred option at first base over both Andrew Vaughn and Rhys Hoskins while he's produced a .393/.452/.679 slash line to go with two home runs and two stolen bases through 11 games in September.

Bauers went 2-for-4 with a double, three runs scored, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers knocked a two-run double and came around to score in the first inning. He scored again in the third and seventh innings. Bauers was 1-for-11 in seven games since returning from the injured list before this three-game series against Pittsburgh, where he produced three consecutive multi-hit performances. He now owns a .213/.331/.373 with 12 extra-base hits and 25 RBI through 178 plate appearances.

The Brewers activated Bauers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bauers is rehabbing a left shoulder impingement and last played July 18. The 29-year-old is slashing .197/.318/.354 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 23:45 BB:K across 151 plate appearances this season.
