Corey Hart is back in Wednesday's lineup against the Giants.

Hart was given the day off Tuesday, but he's playing first base and batting leadoff Wednesday against Barry Zito. Norichika Aoki will play right field.

Rickie Weeks has been dropped to sixth in the order for Friday's game against the Twins.

Weeks has primarily batted first or second this year, but he can't seem to shake out of his early funk. The 29-year-old is hitting just .156 over his first 36 games this year and leads the National League with 49 strikeouts. Corey Hart will bat leadoff for the first time this season on Friday while Norichika Aoki hits No. 2 in the order.

Ryan Braun returned to the Brewers lineup Saturday.

The Brewers have a shortage of outfield options with Carlos Gomez (hamstring) considered day-to-day and facing a possible DL stint. Braun is currently dealing with a sore right Achilles. Norichika Aoki is starting in center field and batting leadoff.

Nyjer Morgan is not in Monday's lineup against the Astros.

Norichika Aoki will make the start in center field and bat second against right-hander Lucas Harrell. Morgan is batting just .119 (5-for-42) on the young season, so Aoki could continue to get looks if the struggles continue.
Apr 23 - 4:14 PM

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that Ryan Braun isn't playing Wednesday due to chest/rib cage tightness.

The injury isn't considered serious, so Braun figures to return to the lineup Thursday. Norichika Aoki is starting in his place Wednesday.

Ryan Braun is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs.

Just a day off for Braun, who is batting .350 (7-for-20) with a homer on the young season. Norichika Aoki will make the start in left field and bat leadoff against right-hander Ryan Dempster.

Corey Hart will undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and is out 3-4 weeks.

Tom ‏Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel wrote that Hart has a "good chance" of opening the year on the disabled list. Hart will definitely miss most -- and probably all -- of the Cactus League schedule, which could mean a rehab assignment out of the gate to get his timing back. Hart, 29, batted .285/.356/.510 with 26 home runs and 63 RBI last season for Milwaukee. Norichika Aoki could start in Hart's absence, or the Brewers could opt for a defensive-first alignment and play the center field tandem of Nyjer Morgan and Carlos Gomez together.
