Jonathan Lucroy had a bases-loaded triple and drove in four runs total as the Brewers beat the Marlins on Wednesday.

The triple was, somewhat surprisingly, Lucroy's fourth of the year and ninth of his career. He later added a sacrifice fly as well. The catcher is hitting a modest .265/.312/.429 this season but has driven in 37 runs, tied for most among catchers through Wednesday's games.
Jun 12 - 9:58 PM

Jonathan Lucroy went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI in the victory over the Marlins on Monday.

Lucroy has raised his average 40 points to .268 in the last couple of weeks. It's still a far cry from last year's .320 mark, but he always figured to come in a lot closer to .270 than .320 this year.
Jun 10 - 11:42 PM

Jonathan Lucroy is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Athletics.

He's presumably getting the day off. Martin Maldonado will make the start behind the plate.
Jun 4 - 3:38 PM

Jonathan Lucroy had another strong game Saturday, going 2-for-4 with his sixth homer.

Lucroy has three homers in 24 hours, matching his total from his previous 44 games this season. His OPS has climbed over 100 points the last two days.
Jun 1 - 7:21 PM

Jonathan Lucroy had a huge day at the dish Friday, going 5-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored as part of an 8-5 win over the Phillies.

Lucroy began his night with an RBI double in the second inning and a run-scoring single in the third. He saved his power exploits for later, as he launched solo homers in the fifth and ninth innings. It's been a tough start to the season for Lucroy, but most of it was driven by some pretty awful luck. The 26-year-old backstop has now hit safely in six straight games and should be owned in most mixed leagues.
May 31 - 11:47 PM

Jonathan Lucroy went 0-for-4 on Monday and is just 2-for-23 over the last 10 days.

Lucroy is hitting just .208, but manager Ron Roenicke obviously remains a believer; he had Lucroy batting fifth ahead of a .330-hitting Carlos Gomez tonight. Lucroy should prove to be considerably better than he's been thus far, but was in over his head while batting .320 in 96 games last year.
May 20 - 10:58 PM

Jonathan Lucroy is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.

The struggling backstop is just getting the day off. Martin Maldonado will start behind the dish and catch Kyle Lohse.
May 14 - 2:58 PM

Jonathan Lucroy is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He's just getting the day off. Yuniesky Betancourt will bat cleanup Thursday while Martin Maldonado will start behind the dish.

Jonathan Lucroy will bat cleanup Monday against the Padres.

Rickie Weeks has struggled out of the cleanup spot with Aramis Ramirez sidelined, so Brewers manager Ron Roenicke has decided to shake things up a bit. Weeks will bat No. 2 on Monday while rookie shortstop Jean Segura will hit leadoff. Meanwhile, Norichika Aoki is getting the day off.

Jonathan Lucroy belted a game-winning home run Sunday in the Brewers' 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

The solo shot in the top of the 10th inning was Lucroy's first home run of the season, and it was a big one. Lucroy also tallied two singles, lifting his batting average from .167 to .206. The 26-year-old hit .320 with an .881 OPS and 12 home runs in 96 games last season.
Apr 14 - 5:53 PM

Jonathan Lucroy delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly in a 5-4 win over the Rockies in 10 innings on Monday.

Lucroy didn't have a hit on the day, but he still found a way to play hero in the season opener. The Brewers actually scored the run without a benefit of a base hit, as a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and two walks (one intentional) set the stage for Lucroy to drive home the game-winner. The 26-year-old hit .320/.368/.513 with 12 homers and an .881 OPS in 96 games last season and could prove to be a bargain at the catcher position this year.
Apr 1 - 5:48 PM

Jonathan Lucroy is not in Friday's lineup against the Astros.

Lucroy was also out of the lineup Thursday, thought it's not clear whether he's dealing with an injury. Martin Maldonado will start behind the plate again Friday.

Jonathan Lucroy is not in the Brewers' starting lineup on Thursday afternoon versus the Reds.

It's merely a routine day of maintenance for the 26-year-old catcher, who is hitting .328 with a cool .896 OPS. Martin Maldonado will start behind the plate for Milwaukee.
Thu, Sep 27, 2012 11:32:00 AM

Jonathan Lucroy went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and seven RBI against the Cubs on Thursday.

It's Lucroy's second seven-RBI game of the season. He's the 24th player since 1918 to have two seven-RBI games in a season. The others to do it since 2000 were Alex Rodriguez (2000), Jason Giambi (2000), Cody Ross (2006), Derrek Lee (2009) and Ben Zobrist (2011).
