The 27-year-old will miss his second straight contest Tuesday, allowing Brice Turang to start at shortstop, Andruw Monasterio at second and Brian Anderson in the hot corner.

Brendan Rodgers - Scratched from lineup TuesdayRodgers was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ImpactA reason for his removal from the lineup was not immediately available. Rodgers just made his season debut last week after suffering a shoulder injury in spring training. Alan Trejo will start at second base in Rodgers' absence.

Elvis Peguero - Getting back on trackPeguero tossed a scoreless eighth inning in Monday's 12-1 victory over the Rockies.
ImpactPeguero was preparing to enter the game with the Brewers ahead by only four runs, so don't let the fact that he worked in a blowout lead you to believe he is no longer part of Milwaukee's late-inning mix. Peguero gave up three earned runs twice in late July, but he seems to have righted the ship, allowing just one runner to reach base through three outings in August. He remains the top right-handed option in front of setup man Joel Payamps and closer Devin Williams.
