Descalso (ankle) is starting at second base and batting seventh Sunday night against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso has been held out of the starting lineup since tweaking his left ankle last weekend, though he did appear as a pinch hitter in all but one of the seven games since the injury. The veteran infielder is mired in slump over his last 14 games with a .114/.200/.205 slash line in 44 at-bats.

Descalso (ankle) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso is still unable to play a full nine innings because of his injury, and will not start Saturday for the seventh game in a row. Descalso was able to pinch hit Friday for the fourth time in five games, so he seemingly could return to the lineup at any point.

Descalso (ankle) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Make it five straight absences from the starting lineup for Descalso, who has been nursing left ankle soreness. He made pinch-hit appearances in each of the last three days, which suggests an IL stint is unlikely. David Bote gets the start at second base in the series finale after Addison Russell got the nod Wednesday.

Descalso doesn't appear to be too far from returning to the lineup, as he's appeared off the bench in each of the last two games. He may see a drop in playing time now that Addison Russell has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
