Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Renfroe (calf) won't be reinstated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Renfroe was initially optimistic that he'd be able to rejoin the Brewers following a minimal IL stint, but he's still bothered by his calf injury and hasn't yet resumed running on the field. The team will give him extra time to recover to prevent a long-term issue, but it's not yet clear when he's expected to return.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Renfroe on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left calf strain.
Renfroe hasn't seen the field since Wednesday while dealing with the calf injury, and he'll now hit the shelf for the second time in less than a month after he was previously sidelined with a hamstring issue. According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Renfroe said he's hopeful to miss the minimum amount of time or about two weeks due the calf issue, but his timeline for a return won't become clear until he's able to resume baseball activities. Pablo Reyes was called up from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Jonathan Davis, who started the past three games, should continue to see increased playing time while Renfroe is out.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Not starting again Saturday
Rotowire
Renfroe (calf) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays and will be available off the bench only in an emergency, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Renfroe did some running today and it appeared he did well enough to avoid the injured list, but he'll still be sidelined for the third straight game by the calf injury. The Brewers have a scheduled day off Monday, so he could be held out again Sunday to provide some extra rest heading into Tuesday's series opener in Tampa Bay.

The specifics of the issue remain unclear, but he apparently suffered the injury while going 1-for-4 with a double during Wednesday's matchup with the Cardinals. It should become clearer Saturday whether or not Renfroe will require a trip to the injured list.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Sitting second straight game
Rotowire
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
The Brewers haven't announced any sort of injury, but Renfroe finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest Friday. The 30-year-old has a .900 OPS with three home runs and seven RBI over his past 10 games, so his absence from the lineup certainly isn't performance related. Tyrone Taylor will again move to right field while Jonathan Davis starts in center.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Powers up again Sunday
Rotowire
Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday in the Brewers' 6-3 win over the Reds.
Renfroe was the star of the Brewers' three-game series sweep, leaving the yard in all three contests to bring his season total to 13, which ties Willy Adames for the team lead. He's also driven in at least one run in each of his last four games, a welcome sight for fantasy managers after he recorded only one RBI across his preceding 10 contests.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Pops solo home run
Rotowire
Renfroe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Reds.
The long ball was the second of the series for Renfroe, who also left the yard and drove in three runs in Friday's 5-4 victory. Since coming off the 10-day injured list June 7, Renfroe is batting only .195, but he's at least aided fantasy managers with three home runs and six RBI in his first 11 games back in action. He remains in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Cincinnati, manning right field and batting cleanup.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Back in action
Rotowire
Renfroe (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday.

He recorded a 191 wRC+ against lefties and a 90 wRC+ against righties, but it looks like he's in line for a true everyday role upon his return.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: May not return this weekend
Rotowire
Renfroe is eligible to be activated Friday but the Brewers are expected to give him a few more days of running to test his hamstring, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers are off on Monday, so they may be targeting Tuesday at home against the Phillies for Renfroe's activation if McCalvy's report is accurate. Tyrone Taylor has been performing well in Renfroe's absence and he draws another start in right field Friday.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Renfroe (hamstring) won't return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Renfroe has made good progress in his recovery from a right hamstring strain and remains on track to return soon, but manager Craig Counsell said the team wants the outfielder to have some more time to work on his running. The 30-year-old took batting practice Wednesday and went through a full workout Thursday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action at some point during the Brewers' weekend series against the Padres.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: On track for Friday return
Rotowire
Renfroe (hamstring) said he's at about 90 percent and expects to be ready to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Renfroe began ramping up his rehab work Monday and did some running on the field prior to Tuesday's loss to the Cubs. The 30-year-old shouldn't require a minor-league rehab stint given the brevity of the absence, and he should be back Friday if he can avoid any setbacks over the next couple days.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Tracking toward minimum IL stint
Rotowire
Renfroe (hamstring) said Saturday that he anticipates being ready to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Though Renfroe definitely said he doesn't think his hamstring will be a concern by the time Friday rolls around, he acknowledged that whether he's activated ahead of the weekend will ultimately be decided by the organization. Renfroe will do his part to put himself in position for being activated Friday by initiating a rehab program Monday, and he's likely to steadily ramp up his activities in the days that follow. Whenever Renfroe's return from the IL comes, fewer starts out of the outfield will be available for Tyrone Taylor and Lorenzo Cain.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Out with strained hamstring
Rotowire
Renfroe was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 30-year-old exited Monday's contest with right hamstring discomfort and will now head to the injured list after undergoing an MRI. According to Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin, Renfroe is dealing with a low-grade strain and is expected to be sidelined 10-to-14 days. Tyrone Taylor is likely to take over as Milwaukee's primary right fielder in the meantime.

Brewers' Hunter Renfroe: Getting MRI
Rotowire
Renfroe (hamstring) said after Monday's 3-2 loss to the Padres in 10 innings that he will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Renfroe went 0-for-1 with a run scored Monday before departing after experiencing right hamstring discomfort. The 30-year-old said he doesn't have a feel for whether the injury is a day-to-day concern or something more serious, but the MRI should offer more clarity on that front. At the very least, Renfroe can probably be ruled out from starting in Tuesday's game, which will likely open up a spot in the outfield for Tyrone Taylor.

Renfroe went 3-for-3 with a run, two RBI and a walk in Friday's victory over the Nationals.
