Jonathan Lucroy led the way as the Brewers decked the Twins 16-4 on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI. Lucroy tagged Jason Marquis for a solo shot in the first before singling home two runs in the second and slugging a seventh inning grand slam off of Jeff Gray. The seven RBI were a new career high for Milwaukee's .342/.389/.550 hitting catcher. Lucroy won't keep hitting .342, but has the skills to hold a .300 average.

Jonathan Lucroy went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday' 8-0 victory over the Mets. It was Lucroy's seventh multi-hit effort in his previous 12 games, during which his batting average has soared from .263 to .330. He also has nine RBI during this span, as timely hitting has made him a valuable commodity thus far.

Jonathan Lucroy went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI as the Brewers beat the Giants 6-4 on Friday. Lucroy has been great right since the start of the spring, but since he's mostly hit low in the order, it hasn't counted for much for fantasy purposes. Now the Brewers have moved him up to sixth with Mat Gamel down, something that should lead to a few more runs and RBI.

Jonathan Lucroy (chest/rib cage tightness) went 1-for-2 with a walk in his return to the lineup Thursday.

Jonathan Lucroy returned to action on Thursday April 12.

Jonathan Lucroy is not playing Wednesday due to chest/rib cage tightness.

Jonathan Lucroy celebrated his new contract with a pair of singles and a run scored in three at-bats Tuesday against the Royals. The backstop has been scorching hot this spring, as he's now batting .486 with a home run and a 1.172 OPS. He should be able to churn out some value as a second catcher in mixed leagues this season.

Jonathan Lucroy's new five-year contract extension is worth between $11-$13 million. It will be $11 million if Lucroy does not qualify for Super Two arbitration status and $13 million if he does. The contract also carries a $5.25 million option for 2017 with a $250,000 buyout. The two sides made things official Tuesday at a press conference in Brewers camp.

Brewers signed C Jonathan Lucroy to a five-year contract extension with a club option for 2017. The exact financial details have not been revealed, but the deal is thought to be worth more than $11 million in guaranteed salary. Lucroy, 25, has posted a weak .260/.307/.366 batting line through the first 765 plate appearances of his major league career. But he's good defensively and likely isn't done developing as a hitter.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Jonathan Lucroy's five-year extension with the Brewers is worth more than $11 million. As expected, it's a little north of the five-year, $7 million deal the Royals recently gave to catcher Salvador Perez. Specifics will change depending on whether Lucroy qualifies as a Super Two player this winter, but the Brewers have at least bought out all of his arbitration seasons.
