Cain in lineup
The Brewers are putting Lorenzo Cain right to work after his Friday afternoon call-up, starting him in tonight’s series-opener against the Astros. With left-hander Wandy Rodriguez on the hill for Houston, it’s a good opportunity to rest Jim Edmonds and his sore Achilles.
Cain was promoted to replace Carlos Gomez, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Tuesday, with a concussion. Chalk this up as a precautionary move, because as I write this, Gomez is part of the group taking early batting practice.
Here’s the lineup:
Rickie Weeks 2B
Corey Hart RF
Prince Fielder 1B
Prince Fielder 1B
Ryan Braun LF
Casey McGehee 3B
Lorenzo Cain CF
Alcides Escobar SS
George Kottaras C
Dave Bush RHP
