Lucroy is starting at catcher and batting sixth Tuesday against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
After being acquired by the Rangers just before the trade deadline Monday, Lucroy will now make his first start with his new big league club. The 30-year-old slashed .299/.359/.482 through 95 games with Milwaukee and will be a huge boost to Texas' offensive production if he can continue to put up those types of numbers.

Lucroy was traded to the Rangers on Monday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy was one of the top available players on the trade market, and the Rangers snapped him up with just minutes to spare before the deadline. It's not entirely clear where Lucroy will hit in a deep and talented Rangers lineup, but he will have a regular spot in the lineup while taking over as the Rangers' primary catcher.

Lucroy is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
A proposed deal to send Lucroy to Cleveland is dead following the backstop's veto, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, but the Brewers won't use him in their lineup as they attempt to pursue other potential trade partners. It seems unlikely a new deal will be completed prior to Monday afternoon's deadline, but Lucroy will sit anyway as the team mulls their options. In the meantime, Martin Maldonado should see regular starts behind the plate.

Lucroy has exercised his no-trade clause to veto a pending deal to Cleveland, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy had a no-trade clause in his contract for eight teams, and Cleveland was one of them. Although the move is surprising, it was entirely within his rights to do so. The Brewers still have time to put together a deal for Lucroy prior to Monday's 4 PM ET trade deadline, but the backstop's decision puts them in a tough spot where he could potentially remain in Milwaukee until the offseason.

The Brewers and Indians have agreed to terms on a deal involving Lucroy, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy still must approve the trade before it becomes official. Cleveland catchers are last in the league with a -1.2 WAR according to FanGraphs.com, so the addition of Lucroy (2.8 WAR) will help.

Lucroy is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy is presumably healthy after playing a full nine innings Friday night, but with trade rumors involving him swirling about and the trade deadline 48 hours away, it appears the Brewers are taking the cautious route with their prized catcher. Martin Maldonado will serve as the Brewers' starting catcher Saturday night.

Lucroy is out of the lineup Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Of course his absence from the lineup will lead to speculation that a trade is in the works, and indeed, several reports suggest talks have heated up over the past 24 hours. However, it's likely just a standard day off for Lucory, as he has started the last six games. Martin Maldonado will start behind the dish, hitting sixth Thursday.

Lucroy is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest with Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy will get his first game off since the end of the All-Star break as Martin Maldonado makes the start behind the dish and bats eighth. Lucroy is in the midst of a six-game hit streak, slashing .364/.400/.500 with seven RBI during that time. He'll likely be back out there Friday when the Brewers begin a home-series against the Cubs.
