Sitting against southpaw
Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Analysis
Bauers went 3-for-10 with a home run, three RBI and two additional runs through the Brewers' first two contests of the season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday against southpaw Anthony Kay. Especially while Andrew Vaughn (hand) and Jackson Chourio (hand) are on the shelf, Bauers should have a clear runway to regular playing time against right-handed pitching.

Launches three-run homer
Bauers went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 14-2 win against the White Sox.
Analysis
After earning the Opening Day nod due to Jackson Chourio's fractured hand, Bauers continued his strong run at the plate, ripping a three-run homer in the seventh inning. The 30-year-old carried over his red-hot spring, during which he batted 16-for-34 (.471) with five doubles, six home runs and a 1.728 OPS. Bauers should see regular starts for at least the next 2-to-4 weeks with Chourio on the IL.
