Brewers' Blake Perkins: Swipes two bags in win
Perkins went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

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.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Heading to bench Sunday
Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
For just the third time in 13 games on the month, Perkins will take a seat while Milwaukee goes with a starting outfield of Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick from left to right. Since returning from a stint on the injured list Aug. 22, Perkins has slashed an anemic .197/.287/.258 over 19 games. He could soon be at risk of moving into more of a fourth-outfielder role.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: On bench for matinee
Perkins is out of the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Reds.
Perkins started the previous six games but will take a seat for Friday's matinee. He's gone 6-for-21 with two doubles, four walks, four RBI and three runs since returning from the injured list last week. Garrett Mitchell will instead start in center field against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Getting steady playing time
Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Giants.
Before he landed on the injured list Aug. 12 with a right calf strain, Perkins had been serving as the Brewers' fourth outfielder, but he seems to have moved into a near-everyday role since being activated last Thursday. The switch-hitting Perkins will pick up his sixth consecutive start Thursday, with four of those coming against right-handed pitchers. Perkins is getting on base at a .409 clip since returning from the IL and appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Garrett Mitchell as the Brewers' preferred option in center field.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Back from injured list
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.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Targeting Thursday return
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.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Goes on 10-day IL
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.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Nursing calf issue
Perkins is likely unavailable to play Monday against the Dodgers due to a calf issue, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Perkins evidently tweaked his calf during Sunday's loss to the Reds. The Brewers have added Tyler Black to the taxi squad, and he could be recalled from Triple-A Nashville if Perkins requires a stint on the injured list.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Three hits, two steals in win
Perkins went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.
Perkins had a pair of go-ahead hits, delivering an RBI single in the fifth inning and a two-run single in the sixth. He was one of four Brewers to log multiple hits in the contest. He's had inconsistent playing time, but the switch hitter typically is in the lineup versus southpaws, as Perkins continues to platoon with Garrett Mitchell in center field. Perkins is at a .260/.333/.367 slash line with 16 steals, six home runs, 34 RBI and 40 runs scored over 315 plate appearances.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Serving as fourth outfielder
Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
After making his fifth consecutive start in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates, Perkins has now found himself on the bench twice in the Brewers' three-game series with the Nationals. The switch-hitting Perkins should still be a regular part of the lineup against left-handed pitching, but he looks set to serve as Milwaukee's fourth outfielder more often than not when the team faces righties.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Getting fifth straight start
Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Though he'll stick in the lineup for a fifth straight start after going 4-for-15 with a home run, three walks and a stolen base across the prior four contests, Perkins still looks to be the Brewers' fourth outfielder. Each of Perkins' prior four starts came against left-handers, and he'll remain in the lineup Thursday against Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes while Jackson Chourio exits the starting nine in what appears to be a routine off day. Some combination of Chourio, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich still appears to be the Brewers' preferred starting outfield trio and designated hitter versus right-handed pitching.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Registers steal Wednesday
Perkins went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.
Perkins was hitless for just the second time over six games in July, but he was still able to make an impact on the bases. The outfielder is 6-for-19 (.316) with three walks this month. For the season, he has 14 steals on 16 attempts, six home runs, 28 RBI, 38 runs scored and a .249/.326/.365 slash line through 279 plate appearances. The switch hitter has benefited from a run of four straight opposing southpaws, starting each of those games to give Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick each two off days. Perkins doesn't have a spot in the lineup regularly against right-handers and hasn't started against one since June 28.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Back on bench after three starts
Perkins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Perkins had started in center field in each of the last three games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday and still looks to be viewed as the team's fourth outfielder. Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio will form the Milwaukee outfield from left to right Wednesday and look to be manager Pat Murphy's preferred trio against right-handed pitching.

Perkins has struggled over his last 10 games, going 4-for-31 with a 34.3 percent strikeout rate, and he has not recorded a hit over his last four games. Sal Frelick, Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich will man the outfield Friday while Tyler Black serves as the designated hitter against Padres right-hander Dylan Cease.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Sitting again Wednesday
Perkins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Although the Angels will start Wednesday's game with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the mound, the Brewers will put the lefty-hitting Sal Frelick in center field rather than the switch-hitting Perkins, who is just 1-for-16 in his last five games.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Resting Tuesday
Perkins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.
Perkins has gone just 1-for-16 with six strikeouts across his last five games, and he'll now get a day to regroup Tuesday. His absence will put Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio in the outfield while William Contreras (head) serves as the designated hitter, allowing Gary Sanchez to start at catcher.
