Moustakas isn't in Friday's lineup against Colorado due to a sore right elbow, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was announced prior to Friday's series opener that the third baseman is nursing an elbow issue, which is why he's sitting for the second straight day. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward but will be available off the bench if needed.

Moustakas isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas will head to the bench for the second straight contest, which is odd considering the Brewers are currently pushing for a division title. There's been no word of an injury for the starting third baseman at this point, however. Cory Spangenberg draws the start at the hot corner and is set to bat seventh.

Moustakas went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas returned to the starting nine after missing most of the last couple weeks with the wrist injury and blasted two homers, including a two-run shot in the ninth inning to break a 5-5 tie. The veteran infielder will play a pivotal role down the stretch for the Brewers, especially with Christian Yelich (kneecap) going down for the season Tuesday.

Moustakas (wrist) is starting at third base and hitting third Wednesday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers offense got bad news Tuesday when it was revealed Christian Yelich (broken kneecap) would miss the rest of the season. However, Moustakas should inject some life into the lineup, while Keston Hiura (hamstring) was also activated Wednesday.

Moustakas (wrist) walked in a pinch-hit at-bat in Tuesday's victory over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The at-bat was Moustakas' first since Sept. 2, and just his sixth since he left the Brewers' Aug. 26 game against the Cardinals after taking a grounder off his left wrist while playing third base. It was reported Tuesday that Moustakas could return to the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Marlins, and his at-bat Tuesday seemingly increases those chances as long as it did not lead to any additional soreness.

Moustakas (wrist) stands a "good chance" to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins, Sophia Minnaert of FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
It had been previously reported that Moustakas "could" return Wednesday, but it now sounds like he's probable based on manager Craig Counsell's comments prior to Tuesday's game. Moustakas was held out of the lineup from Aug. 27-Sept. 1 and only lasted one start before renewed soreness put him back on the shelf. As of Friday, he was said to still be in "significant pain," but Moustakas has been able to play defense in recent days and will be available to pinch hit Tuesday.

Moustakas (wrist) could return to the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
While he is not in Tuesday's lineup, Moustakas says he feels good enough to pinch hit in that contest. He has been available off the bench as a defender only over the past several days. Travis Shaw is starting at third base and hitting eighth.

Moustakas (wrist) will take batting practice Monday, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas has been available for defense over the last few days, but he hasn't received a plate appearance since last Monday as he deals with a bruised wrist. It's not clear exactly when he'll be back in the lineup, but he appears to be moving in the right direction.
