Checking back in lineup Wednesday
Bauers (toe) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Analyse
Bauers was diagnosed with a fractured right big toe after fouling a ball off of himself Monday, but he apparently needed just a day off in Tuesday's 8-2 win to improve enough to re-enter the starting nine. The 30-year-old acknowledged Tuesday that he'll still be managing some pain with the toe moving forward, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Brewers ended up building in more off days for him and/or using him at first base more frequently than the corner outfield. The toe issue may also result in Bauers being less active in the running game, where he's contributed eight stolen bases in nine attempts through 97 contests this season.

IL stint unlikely
MRI and CT scan results confirmed Tuesday that the fracture in Bauers' right big toe is an old injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analyse
X-rays picked up a fracture in Bauers' toe following his exit from Monday's contest, but it turned out to be an old injury that he had been playing through and aggravated when he fouled a ball off his foot. He said Tuesday that he doesn't expect to spend time on the injured list, and his availability going forward will come down to pain management. The Brewers will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest, giving Andrew Vaughn the start at first base and deploying Luis Lara in right field, but Bauers could be available off the bench.

Diagnosed with fractured toe
X-rays revealed a fracture in Bauers' right big toe after Monday's game against the Giants, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Analyse
Bauers fouled a ball off his foot during the fifth inning of Monday's contest and was later removed in the seventh. He's scheduled to undergo additional imaging Tuesday to help determine next steps and whether a stint on the IL is necessary. As long as Bauers is out, Andrew Vaughn is likely to start regularly at first base, and Luis Lara also figures to see an uptick in playing time in the outfield.

Swipes bag in win
Bauers went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Rockies.
Analyse
Bauers has multiple hits and a steal in back-to-back contests. Prior to this recent burst of productivity, he had gone just 4-for-30 over a 10-game span from July 11-24. The 30-year-old is picking up steady time in right field in the absence of Sal Frelick (shoulder), though Bauers moves to first base when Andrew Vaughn is on the bench. Bauers is batting .263 with an .855 OPS, 18 home runs, eight steals, 60 RBI, 62 runs scored, 16 doubles and one triple over 96 contests this season.
