Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia isn't in the team's lineup on Friday for a matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals and right-handed starter Adam Wainwright. The veteran is in the midst of a quality season at the plate, batting .267 with a .338 on-base percentage, 24 home runs, and seven stolen bases in 462 plate appearances. The Brewers will start Jace Peterson in right field in Garcia's place against Wainwright. Peterson is hitting leadoff on Friday and is worth a look as a streaming option. In 232 plate appearances this season, the 31-year-old is batting .279 with a .401 on-base percentage, five home runs, and eight stolen bases.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielders Avisail Garcia and Lorenzo Cain are not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Manager Craig Counsell said after Saturday night's game that Cain was fine, according to The Athletic. He stayed in the game after Counsell checked on him after a play. Jackie Bradley Jr. is in center field for the Brewers and batting eighth against right-hander Griffin Jax, while Jace Peterson is in right and hitting seventh. Garcia, who is having a career year, and Cain should be good to go for next week's fantasy lineups.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Thursday's win over the Cardinals. Garcia's first home run in the fifth inning pulled the Brewers within a run, and his second long ball in the top of the ninth tied the game and allowed the Brewers to pick up the win in the 10th inning. Garcia has been on fire since the start of July, going 41-for-117 (.350) with eight homers, 26 RBI, 21 runs, and two steals over 34 games. If he's still available in your league, now would be the time to pick him up if you're struggling for production in your outfield.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (hand) went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates. Making his first appearance since Tuesday, Garcia got the start in right field and hit cleanup, and launched a homer to left-center field in the seventh inning to round out the big inning. It was the 21st longball of the year for Garcia, a new career-high. The 30-year-old is slashing .269/.334/.486 in 398 plate appearances on the year. He's having one of his best seasons as a professional.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (hand) isn't in the team's lineup on Thursday. Garcia left Wednesday's game with a bruised hand and isn't starting today's contest against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Per a tweet from MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said Garcia and first baseman Rowdy Tellez "could probably play today if necessary, but it makes sense to give them a day." McCalvy also mentioned in his tweet that the injury isn't serious. Garcia has provided both the Brewers and fantasy managers with some solid production at the plate this season, batting .266 with a .330 on-base percentage, 20 home runs, and six stolen bases in 394 plate appearances. Jace Peterson is starting in right field for Garcia and could be worth a look for fantasy managers in deeper leagues as a streaming option. In 173 plate appearances this season, the 31-year-old is batting .239 with a .364 on-base percentage, four home runs, and seven stolen bases.

Updating an earlier report, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (hand) exited Wednesday's game with a bruised left hand, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. This is good news for fantasy managers, as there were concerns after Garcia was removed from the game in the first inning after being hit on the hand by a pitch. Consider Garcia day-to-day and expect him to return to the lineup within the next couple days.

Garcia has been having a solid year at the plate, slashing .266/.330/.476 with 20 homers, six steals, 69 RBI and 52 runs scored over 102 games. Consider him day-to-day for now, and keep an eye out for updates on his condition later tonight.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Pirates. Garcia delivered three separate run-scoring hits, including two singles and a double. It was his fifth multi-hit effort in his last seven starts. In that span, he's delivered eight RBI, six runs scored, and two stolen bases. Though he's swiped only six bags on the season, he's also now recorded one in each of his last two contests. Overall, Garcia is hitting .270/.331/.469 across 375 plate appearances on the campaign. He's been a reliable source of power all season for the Brewers and for fantasy owners alike. He lost 30 lbs in the off-season, which appears to be helping him along as the season plays out.

ATLANTA (AP) — Freddie Freeman homered off Yu Darvish in the sixth inning, Touki Toussaint allowed one run and three hits in his season debut, and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Tuesday night. Toussaint, who missed the first 3½ months rehabbing a right shoulder strain, retired the first seven batters he faced before walking Victor Caratini in the third. He didn’t allow a hit until Manny Machado doubled with one out in the fourth. The Padres tied it 1-all in the fourth when Jake Cronenworth was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on Machado’s double and scored on Tommy Pham’s sacrifice fly. Freeman made it 2-1 by taking Darvish deep over the wall in left field with an opposite-field shot, his 22nd homer. Toussaint (1-0) walked two and struck out five in 6 2/3 innings. Darvish (7-4) was making his first start since July 8 after a stint on the injured list due to left hip inflammation. He allowed four hits and two runs with two walks and three strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.... [More]

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ke’Bryan Hayes hastily missed first base and was called out after hitting a first-inning homer, sending Walker Buehler on his way to seven scoreless innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3 Tuesday night. The Pirates star rookie stung an opposite-field line drive in the first inning against Buehler that narrowly cleared the right-field wall, just inside the foul pole. Running hard and with his eyes on the ball, Hayes missed touching first base with his left foot by two or three inches and kept on going. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts challenged, and umpires overturned the call after a short video review. Buehler (5-0) retired his last 13 batters and had two hits to raise his career batting average to .124. He allowed two hits, struck out two and walked one while throwing 93 pitches. Pirates rookie JT Brubaker (4-5) shut out the Dodgers through four innings but did not make it out of the fifth, when Los Angeles scored three times. Kenley Jansen... [More]
