Milwaukee Brewers wrap up their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins with a matinee at Miller Park.

Cain has been sidelined since June 24 with a strained left groin and had been making progress in his rehab but isn’t 100 percent yet and will need a little more time http://www.houstontexansteamonline.com/kahale-warring-jersey , manager Craig Cousnell said.

“He had a good day on the field, but there’s enough caution there that we have to get over the last hurdle,” Counsell said. “We’re not to 100 percent yet. We’re definitely going in a good direction.”

Christian Yelich has been out since the first inning of Sunday’s game thanks to a stiff back but he took batting practice for a third straight day Tuesday and came into the game as a ninth-inning defensive sub, leaving him on the verge of returning to the lineup — perhaps as early as Wednesday.

“He’s feeling pretty good,” Counsell said. “I’m very optimistic.”

With both Cain and Yelich out, and Jesus Aguilar punishing opposing pitchers while playing first base, Eric Thames has become a regular in Milwaukee’s outfield. Since returning from a 40-day stint on the disabled list June 12 http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/bobby-okereke-jersey , Thames has made five starts at first and 10 in the outfield. He’s appeared in 18 games overall since returning, batting .226 with four home runs and 11 RBIs during that stretch but has been red-hot over the last week with three home runs over his last six games.

“I’m just trying to have quality at-bats and trying not to hit 30 home runs in the first week to try and catch back up with everybody else,” said Thames, who’s third on the team with 12 home runs this season. “I’m just trying to have good at-bats, get on base, take my walks, trying not to swing at everything that comes over the plate like I did in Cincinnati. I’m just trying to take a quality at-bat and help the team win.”

Thames’ two-run homer was the difference in Milwaukee’s victory Tuesday and gave the Brewers at least one home run in each of their last nine games.

Jose Berrios will try to stop that streak Wednesday as he leads the Twins in their efforts to avoid a sweep. The right-hander served up two home runs his last time out as he was dinged for six runs on six hits and four walks over just 4 1/3 innings by the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

“I don’t know if it’s the hottest game I’ve thrown http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/jawaan-taylor-jersey , but coming from 80 degrees to almost 100, I felt it out there,” Berrios said through an interpreter. “I wanted to keep competing for my team. … I kind of felt like I lost stamina out there because it was so hot. It just was what it was.

“I tried to execute my pitches. I struck out (two). I kept trying to battle. It wasn’t my day today.”

It was Berrios’ worst outing of the season and snapped what had been an impressive stretch for the young right-hander. He’d gone 5-1 with a 2.05 ERA in his eight previous starts, striking out 69 with just 11 walks in 57 innings of work.

“Jose was just a little off,” manager Paul Molitor said. “Command of fastball, a couple breaking balls that he got hurt on. … Glanced up there now and then. (His velocity) was maybe down a mile or two from what you would expect.”

Wednesday will mark his first career appearance against the Brewers, who counter with right-hander Chase Anderson.

Anderson allowed just a run over six innings in his last outing http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/gardner-minshew-ii-jersey , Friday at Cincinnati, and is 3-3 with a 4.40 ERA in eight starts since returning from the disabled list on May 20.

He’s faced Minnesota just once in his career and took the loss after allowing five runs (four earned) on 11 hits over five innings back on April 18, 2016.

Lamar Jackson‘s 6-1 record as a starter was the most impressive thing about his rookie season. The Ravens thought enough of what the 2018 first-round pick did to entrust Jackson with the starting job, trading Joe Flacco to Denver.Jackson is working with a private quarterbacks coach in Florida until the team’s offseason program begins.“Lamar is on his own right now, from that standpoint, in terms of self-development, but it’s my understanding he’s working really hard at it http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/darrell-henderson-jersey ,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “I’ve heard through the grapevine that he’s throwing with guys; he’s working with coaches and things like that. He’s got a coach in Florida who does a great job coaching quarterbacks. I don’t have all the details because we’re not allowed to have all the details on that, but I know Lamar’s a very hard worker, and he’s going to do everything he can do to be the very best quarterback he can be. I love his determination.”Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta expects Jackson “to improve in every area” in his second season.Jackson ran for 695 yards and five touchdowns. He threw for 1,201 yards with six touchdowns, three interceptions and an 84.5 passer rating.His completion percentage of 58.2 needs to improve, obviously, but Harbaugh said much of the narrative that Jackson can’t throw was media-driven.“We could do the poll right here — raise your hand if you think he can’t throw http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/irv-smith-jr.-jersey ,” Harbaugh said. “I don’t know what the percentage is. It’s not important to us. It doesn’t really matter what the talk about it is. It’s just talk; it’s just noise. We’re going to try to build the best offense we can around our quarterback, which you always do. We believe he’s a great football player, a great quarterback. How great remains to be seen. That’s up to him and us, so we’re looking forward to seeing what we can get done.”
