Pina is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Pina is hitting just .188/.250/.363 on the season. A .172 BABIP indicates that some bad luck is involved, but he's also seen a spike in his soft-hit rate from 14.1 percent last year to 27.9 percent this season. Jett Bandy will get the start Saturday in his place.

Pina went 2-for-5 with a home run, double and three RBI in Friday's victory over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Pina's home run was about as clutch as they come, as it was hit with the Brewers down by two runs and down to their last out in the ninth inning at the same time. Pina is hitting just .188 for the season, but he has started to produce in the power categories of late, tallying three home runs and seven RBI over his last nine games.

Pina is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Pina hasn't had a day off since last Sunday, catching all five games for the Brewers this week. He went just 3-for-18 at the plate over that span, but two of those base hits left the ballpark. With what appears to be a regular maintenance day again, Jett Bandy will serve as the backstop for Milwaukee, catching ace Chase Anderson.

Pina is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Pina looks to be back to full strength after returning from a calf injury Tuesday, so he'll be held out of the lineup Sunday as part of a routine rest following back-to-back starts behind the plate. Jett Bandy will handle catching duties and bat eighth in the series finale.

Pina is out of the lineup against the Cubs on Thursday.

Pina (calf) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pina missed the minimum amount of games while dealing with a right calf strain. He'll rejoin a Brewers team which has also been without second-string catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) all season, with third-stringer Jett Bandy hitting just .195 in their absence. Temporary backup catcher Jacob Nottingham was sent down to Triple-A Colorado Springs to make room for Pina.

Pina (calf) ran the bases Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems like the catcher's injured calf responded well to the increased activity, though no other word on his status has come forth. Pina is eligible to come off the DL on Monday's off-day, and if this base running session is any indication, a Tuesday return versus the Royals isn't out of the question.
