Provides offense Sunday Newman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Brewers. Impact The homer, his third of the season, gives him a .208 batting average and four extra-base hits in 106 plate appearances since the end of May. Aside from the infielder's .308 batting average in 2019, he's hit just .213 in his other three seasons. While Newman has struggled immensely, he figures to retain steady playing time, especially if the team trades starting second baseman Adam Frazier.
