Lockridge is expected to be sidelined until mid-to-late June after an MRI on his right knee showed a bone bruise, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Lockridge landed on the 10-day injured list this past weekend after hurting his knee when he crashed into a side wall in the outfield while trying to make a catch. He required stitches to close a deep laceration and has now been diagnosed with a bone bruise as well.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Will get MRI
Rotowire
Lockridge is expected to get an MRI on his injured right knee once swelling subsides, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Lockridge needed "about 10" stitches in the knee after crashing into a side wall in the outfield during Friday's contest versus the Yankees. While Lockridge was placed on the injured list Saturday and is currently on crutches, he said the laceration may heal in 7-to-10 days. Should that be the case, and should his MRI come back clean, Lockridge may be able to return to action before the end of May.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Placed on IL
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Lockridge (knee) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Lockridge was taken out of Friday's game against the Yankees after crashing hard into the side wall in left field and suffering a deep laceration in his right knee. Manager Pat Murphy said after the game that Lockridge is expected to be out for "a while," so the Brewers will stash him away on the IL and bring up Blake Perkins to replenish their outfield depth.
Lockridge suffered a deep laceration down to the bone of his right knee during Friday's win over the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
X-rays on Lockridge's knee came back negative for a fracture, but manager Pat Murphy said that the outfielder is still going to be sidelined for "a while" because of his laceration. That means a trip to the injured list is probably in Lockridge's future, and a return to the majors is likely in the cards for Blake Perkins.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Not starting Monday
Rotowire
Lockridge (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Blake Perkins will draw the start in left field Monday, and he and Lockridge are likely to share time at the position until the Brewers get Jackson Chourio (hand) back from the injured list.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Lockridge will be included on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The writing was on the wall that Lockridge had won a bench spot when the Brewers optioned Blake Perkins to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, but the decision is now official. Lockridge did an excellent job separating himself from the competition during Cactus League play, slashing .316/.435/.684 with four homers, nine RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases across 13 contests. As long as he can continue to produce on offense, the 29-year-old outfielder will likely fill in for either Sal Frelick or Garrett Mitchell whenever the Brewers encounter a left-handed starter.

Now that the latter has returned, Lockridge will move to the minors and continue serving as organizational depth. The 28-year-old slashed .261/.308/.370 with six RBI, eight runs scored and two steals across 53 plate appearances during his time with Milwaukee.

Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Back on bench after three starts
Rotowire
Lockridge is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.
Lockridge will retreat to the bench after he had started in all three games of the Brewers' weekend series in Cincinnati while going 4-for-12 with a triple, a double and two runs. The right-handed-hitting Lockridge could continue to see frequent opportunities to play against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities versus righties will likely be more limited moving forward after Blake Perkins returned from the bereavement list Sunday and Isaac Collins returned from the paternity list Monday.

Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Back from injured list
Rotowire
The Padres activated Lockridge (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday..
He's been out since mid-April with a left hamstring strain and will skip a rehab assignment and go right back on the active roster. Lockridge was the primary fill-in in center field for Jackson Merrill (hamstring) when he got hurt, but with Tyler Wade playing well lately, Lockridge could be limited to starts against lefties.

Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Lands on IL with strained hamstring
Rotowire
The Padres placed Lockridge on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain.
Lockridge had to depart Sunday's game against the Rockies with the injury and it's going to cost him at least the next week-and-a-half of action. He had been filling in for Jackson Merrill (hamstring) as the Padres' primary center fielder. San Diego could use a combination of Tyler Wade and Jason Heyward in center field until one of Merrill or Lockridge returns.

Padres' Brandon Lockridge: Double, stolen base off the bench
Rotowire
Lockridge went 1-for-1 with an RBI-double, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-0 win over Atlanta.
Lockridge entered as a pinch hitter for Jason Heyward in the sixth inning, drawing a walk versus lefty Jose Suarez. Lockridge would remain in the game to face right-hander Hector Neris in the eighth, where he roped an RBI-double before stealing third base and scoring on a Fernando Tatis single. The 28-year-old Lockridge still finds himself on the short side of a platoon, though he could soon see more playing time over Heyward, who's gone 0-for-10 to start the year. Lockridge would offer some upside in the Padres' lineup thanks to his base-stealing ability -- he swiped 46 bags in the minors last season.
