Mitchell Back, Brewers Eye Division Lead | Milwaukee Brewers News

Garrett Mitchell is back in the lineup after a scary forearm hit, cleared by X-rays, and will start center field batting seventh against the Mets’ lefty Zach Thornton — a move that gives him a chance to shine while resting Yelich and Bauers. Mitchell’s been hitting well against lefties this season, posting a solid .260 average and nine homers, performing roughly 19% better than league average. Meanwhile, Sal Frelick returns from injury but sits out as Luis Lara takes his spot in the outfield. The Brewers are riding high, leading their division and chasing the top NL seed for the playoffs — but they know the Mets are no pushover, so they’ll need to stay focused and sharp.
