Counsell said that Moustakas is dealing with some soreness but is otherwise fine after getting hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game. While the manager noted that Moustakas may not be ready for Thursday's series opener, he was confident about the infielder rejoining the starting nine sometime over the weekend. In the meantime, Hernan Perez is starting at the keystone Wednesday.

Moustakas, who exited Tuesday's game against the Padres with a left hand contusion, will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, Sophia Minnaert of FSN Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Moustakas will be held out at least one day as a result of being hit by a pitch Tuesday, X-rays taken on his hand came back negative, so there is reason to believe he will be back on the field in short order. Barring a roster move, Travis Shaw will likely man the hot corner for the Brewers on Wednesday.
