Lucroy is not in the starting lineup Thursday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy has caught Milwaukee's past five games, so he'll get a regular day off. Martin Maldonado will fill in for him behind the plate and bat eighth in the series finale against Braves starter Matt Wisler.

Lucroy is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy was behind the plate for each of Milwaukee's last three games, so he'll get the day off Thursday as Martin Maldonado takes over at catcher. Maldonado will hit eighth against Chicago's Jason Hammel.

Lucroy homered, a solo shot, and walked in a 1-for-3 game Monday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy now has three dingers in as many games and is turning a solid start to the season into a great one. His 5-for-13 performance over the past three games has raised his batting line from .302/.362/.457 to .311/.377/.515. That's even better than his performance in his near-MVP 2014 campaign, when he hit .301/.373/.465. His trade value has to be near its peak, and Lucroy could be on the move soon.

Lucroy went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs Sunday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy's fifth blast of the season gave the Brewers a one-run lead in the fifth inning of a game they'd go on to win. He's homered and posted multiple hits in back-to-back games to raise his slash line to .310/.373/.496.

Lucroy is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy tallied multiple hits in five of his last seven starts, but manager Craig Counsell decided to hold him out Monday in favor of Martin Maldonado, who will catch Wily Peralta for the fifth straight game. At least for the time being, it looks like Lucroy's days off will come whenever Peralta is slated to take the mound.

Lucroy went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and two RBI Sunday at the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy's third bomb of the season came in the eighth inning to break up a tie game and earn the Brewers the victory. After not homering in April, he's now left the yard in back-to-back contests to give him three bombs in May to raise his slugging percentage to .505.

Lucroy went 2-for-6 with a solo homer and two runs Saturday at the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
With the Brewers trailing by four runs, Lucroy's second blast of the season sparked a comeback that would result in a victory. He's been red-hot to start the month, as his May slash line sits at .357/.471/.714.

Will return to the lineup in Saturday's matchup with the Reds, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy got the night off Friday, but will return to action in game two of the Brewers' series with the Reds. He will take care of duties behind the plate and bat clean up. The veteran catcher is batting just .125 in 24 at-bats versus south paws this season, but will look to turn things around Saturday.

Lucroy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
This appears to be a standard day off for Lucroy, who's currently slashing .308/.376/.429 on the season. He should slot back into the lineup Saturday, but Martin Maldonado will take his place behind the dish for Friday's contest to catch for Tyler Cravy.

Lucroy homered, his first, as part of a 2-for-3 day with two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Lucroy had been doing just about everything except hitting for power thus far, and after this game he owns a sparkling .321/.387/.440 batting line. This is the kind of performance people -- including potential trade suitors -- needed to see after his injury-riddled 2015 season. Lucroy hit .301/.373/.465 in a near-MVP level season for the Brewers in 2014, and it looks like he has returned to that form here in 2016.
