Perkins is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies. It marks the third time over the Brewers' last four games versus right-handed pitching that Perkins has been absent from the lineup. Milwaukee is going with Garrett Mitchell in center field.

Perkins went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies. Perkins was especially pesky in the seventh inning, swiping two bags and scoring to extend the Brewers' lead to 6-2. He has gone just 5-for-43 in 12 September contests but has still managed four thefts. On the season, the 28-year-old is hitting .247 with six home runs, 41 RBI, 50 runs scored and 22 steals across 404 plate appearances.

The Brewers activated Perkins (calf) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Perkins required a minimum-length absence for a right calf strain and didn't go out on a rehab assignment prior to being activated. The 27-year-old outfielder should be deployed mostly against left-handed pitching by the Brewers down the stretch.

Perkins (calf) will take batting practice Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Assuming Perkins is able to avoid any setbacks, the plan is for him to return to the Brewers ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals. With Christian Yelich (back) set to miss the rest of the season, the 27-year-old Perkins will have more opportunities to start in Milwaukee's outfield, likely filling in for Sal Frelick or Garrett Mitchell against left-handed starters.

The Brewers placed Perkins on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right calf strain. The outfielder will be sidelined for at least a week and a half with the injury, which he likely sustained in Sunday's loss to the Reds. In the meantime, infielder Tyler Black was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to replace Perkins on the major-league roster.
