Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Nieuwenhuis has made four consecutive starts in center field, but managed to collect base hits in each of those four contests to erase an 0-for-12 slump. He'll get a routine day off against a left-handed pitcher Sunday, however, giving way to Keon Broxton in center. Nieuwenhuis only has 13 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this year, so the move makes sense from a matchup standpoint.

Nieuwenhuis is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Nieuwenhuis has struggled at the plate as of late, getting just two hits in his last 29 at-bats. He'll get a day of rest Wednesday in favor of right-hander Keon Broxton starting in center field and batting seventh against lefty starting pitcher, Jaime Garcia.

Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nieuwenhuis has been brutal over his past seven starts, going 1-for-24 with 14 strikeouts, a stretch which has dropped his batting average 55 points. He still looks to be locked in as the Brewers' primary center fielder, but he'll cede starting duties to Keon Broxton on Sunday with a left-hander in Brandon Finnegan on the mound for the opposition.

Nieuwenhuis is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Nieuwenhuis has been the primary center fielder for the Brewers as of late, but considering he's only garnered one hit in the past six games and the fact that left-hander John Lamb pitching for Cincinnati, manager Craig Counsell decided to give him a day off. Keon Broxton will start in center field in his place.

Nieuwenhuis went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Thursday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Nieuwenhuis had a productive game to cap a productive homestand in which he batted .363. He is hitting .340 (17-for-50) this season at Miller Park and has emerged as the Brewers' regular center fielder by batting .311 in May with seven RBI.

Nieuwenhuis is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers have been playing all of Nieuwenhuis, Ramon Flores, and Alex Presley in center field over the last few games, and it will be Flores getting the nod there Friday. The trio figures to consider sharing the center-field duties in some fashion for the time being.

Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Nieuwenhuis typically only finds himself in the lineup against right-handed starters, so with southpaw John Lamb on the mound for the Reds, it's no surprise that Nieuwenhuis will sit out. In his stead, Ramon Flores will get the starting nod in center field.

Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup for Saturday's tilt with the Reds, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Domingo Santana's return to the outfield, the Brewers have opted to give Nieuwenhuis the day off. The rest day is somewhat surprising considering he is hitting .316 over the past seven days. He is also 3-for-3 against south paws on the season. He will likely return to the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Nieuwenhuis is in the lineup and batting fifth for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
With Ryan Braun sitting out due to general soreness, Nieuwenhuis will get the start in center field while Ramon Flores shifts over to left field. The 28-year-old is having a solid season thus far, hitting .279 with one home run, nine RBI, seven runs, and two stolen bases.
