Rotowire
Bauers went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.

For the year, he's down to a .199/.309/.386 slash line with 11 homers, nine steals, 40 RBI and 40 runs scored over 285 plate appearances. His batting average hadn't been lower than .200 since May 5.
