Cain (hamstring) could rejoin the Brewers during their upcoming series against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cain has been sidelined since early June due to a right hamstring strain, but he's been on a rehab assignment since July 8. The 35-year-old has gone 4-for-21 with two walks and six strikeouts across seven rehab games, but he's on track to return as early as Tuesday as long as he doesn't experience any issues this weekend.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Cain (hamstring) needs more at-bats during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville before he's activated from the 10-day injured list, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cain hasn't experienced any setbacks with his strained right hamstring since beginning the rehab assignment July 8, but he'll need more time to ramp up and get his timing back at the plate, having been shut down since early June with the injury. The veteran has gone 3-for-18 over his first six rehab outings, and he played his first nine-inning game in the outfield Sunday. Cain sounds like he could be an option to rejoin the Brewers this weekend if he remains setback-free over his next couple of rehab games.

Cain (hamstring), according to Jim Goulart of brewerfan.net, played all nine innings in a rehab game with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cain was subbed out early in the first five games of his rehab assignment in order to ease the stress on his hamstring, but he was able to play a full game Sunday for the first time since getting back on the field. It's not clear if he will remain with Nashville a while longer or if he is ready to return to the big leagues, but there is a chance he could be activated from the injured list in advance of the Brewers' matchup with the Royals on Tuesday.

Cain (hamstring) is expected to remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville through the weekend, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cain has been on the shelf since June 1 with a strained right hamstring, but he appears to be zeroing in on a return to Milwaukee's active roster after he began rehabbing at Nashville last weekend. He's thus far appeared in four games for the Triple-A club, going 2-for-11 with no walks and three strikeouts. The Brewers likely want to see how Cain's hamstring holds up with a few more full games in the outfield at Triple-A, but assuming all goes smoothly over the weekend, he could rejoin the big club ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Royals.

Cain (hamstring) will report to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment that will run through the All-Star break, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder has been sidelined since the end of May by a strained right hamstring, and he'll require a lengthy stint in the minors to get back up to game speed. Cain has been limited to 31 games this season and is hitting .223/.322/.350 with three homers, four stolen bases, nine RBI and 17 runs in 118 plate appearances. He should rejoin the active roster by the end of July at the latest if the rehab assignment goes well.

Cain (hamstring) is expected to begin his minor-league rehab assignment late next week, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell noted Cain will require a lengthy rehab with Triple-A Nashville, as he's been sidelined since the beginning of June with a strained right hamstring. That and multiple previous injuries have limited the 35-year-old to 31 games this season. Cain, who hit .223 with three homers and nine RBI in those games, still appears to be on track for a mid-July activation.

Cain (hamstring) ran on the the field Monday and plans to swing in the cage Tuesday as he continues to target a return prior to next month's All-Star break, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cain landed on the 10-day injured list June 1 with a strained right hamstring. The veteran outfielder has progressed to being able to take part in baseball activities, and if all continues to go well, he'll look to go on a rehab assignment within the next two weeks. The All-Star break begins July 12, so Cain will be looking to be activated sometime prior to that date.

Cain (hamstring) will return no sooner than the start of July, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell described Cain's hamstring strain as "a significant injury." Jackie Bradley and Tyrone Taylor will be tasked with filling in at center field while Cain recovers over the next month.

Cain was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Cain would be headed for the injured list and now the transaction has been made official. The outfielder's timeline for a return isn't known at this point, but it's worth noting that hamstring injuries are frequently multi-week injuries. Tyrone Taylor was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding roster move.

Manager Craig Counsell said after Monday's 3-2 win over the Tigers that Cain (hamstring) will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers likely won't know the severity of Cain's right hamstring injury until after he's sent in for an MRI, but team trainers apparently felt comfortable ruling the outfielder out for at least a week and a half after he was checked out following his exit from Monday's game. Cain's impending move back to the IL should reopen everyday roles in the outfield for both Jackie Bradley and Avisail Garcia alongside Christian Yelich.
