Corey Hart (Brewers)

5/21/12 5:15 pm

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Monday that Corey Hart’s move to first base is not permanent.

Roenicke said he has Hart at first base Monday because the Giants have left-hander Madison Bumgarner on the mound. He intends to start him at first base again on Wednesday when the Brewers face southpaw Barry Zito. Roenicke previously stated that he didn’t want to move Hart back and forth from different positions, but that’s exactly what he plans to do, at least in the short-term.

Corey Hart is playing first base on Monday.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke told reporters recently that he doesn’t want to move Hart back and forth between different positions for fear that it might mess with his focus. So there’s a chance Hart plays first base for the rest of the 2012 season.

Zack Greinke (Brewers)

5/20/12 5:02 pm

Staked to an early 8-1 lead, Zack Greinke breezed by the Twins in Sunday’s 16-4 win, allowing one run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings.

Greinke walked two and struck out six in improving to 5-1. Now the owner of a 2.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 59/12 K/BB ratio through 56 2/3 innings of work, Greinke is amongst the hottest pitchers in baseball. He’ll get the Diamondbacks in Arizona next weekend.

Corey Hart (Brewers)

Corey Hart went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday’s 16-4 rout of the Twins.

Hart got the fun started with a leadoff home run off of Jason Marquis in the first inning. He singled home another run in the second. Hart’s ninth home run of the season was just his third in 18 May contests, though the multi-hit effort was his third straight. He’s batting .268/.329/.550 through Milwaukee’s first 41 games.

Jonathan Lucroy (Brewers)

Jonathan Lucroy led the way as the Brewers decked the Twins 16-4 on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI.

Lucroy tagged Jason Marquis for a solo shot in the first before singling home two runs in the second and slugging a seventh inning grand slam off of Jeff Gray. The seven RBI were a new career high for Milwaukee’s .342/.389/.550 hitting catcher. Lucroy won’t keep hitting .342, but has the skills to hold a .300 average.

Brooks Conrad (Brewers)

Brewers optioned INF Brooks Conrad to Triple-A Nashville.

With Carlos Gomez expected to be activated from the disabled list on Sunday, Conrad needed to go to open a roster spot. Conrad, promoted earlier this month, was off to a hot start with Triple-A Nashville, hitting .400/.483/.820 with five homers, 13 RBI and a 1.303 OPS across 58 plate appearances. He was awful with the Brewers, going hitless in 21 at-bats with a 1/9 K/BB rate. He could be back later this summer.
