Nyjer Morgan is not in Wednesday’s lineup against the Astros.

Morgan broke out of his recent funk by going 3-for-5 with a stolen base on Tuesday, but he’ll take a seat against the left-hander J.A. Happ. Carlos Gomez will make the start in center field and hit second.

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.

Nyjer Morgan will start and bat second in Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

Manager Ron Roenicke will go with his “left-handed” lineup, which features Morgan in centerfield and Mat Gamel batting sixth. Morgan will look to improve on his underwhelming spring. He batted just .238 with two steals and a 12/3 K/BB ratio.

Nyjer Morgan was hitless in four at-bats Monday against the White Sox.

Morgan has not showed off his assets this spring. His biggest weapon — speed — has translated into two steals in five attempts. With an ugly 12/3 K/BB ratio and a .238 batting average, he is not entering the regular season on a high note.

The Brewers signed outfielder Nyjer Morgan to a one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.

No word yet on the dollar amount. Morgan enjoyed the best offensive year of his career in 2011, registering a .304/.357/.421 batting line in 119 games while earning close to the major league minimum. He’s likely to serve as the Brewers’ primary center fielder in 2012, unless Carlos Gomez suddenly improves.
