Lara is not in the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday.
The rookie outfielder went 0-for-3 with a walk in his playoff debut Saturday, but he'll take a seat for Game 2 versus San Diego ace Michael King. Sal Frelick will instead pick up a start in right field for Milwaukee while batting seventh.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Taking seat for Game 2
Rotowire
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday.
Ortiz sat out the final two games of the regular season while nursing multiple injuries, but he started at third base in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. David Hamilton will step in at the hot corner Sunday for Milwaukee versus San Diego ace Michael King.

Brewers' Dustin May: Starting Game 3 of NLDS
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Muphy announced Sunday that May will start Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The veteran right-hander had plenty of ups and downs after being acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline, posting a 5.65 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB across 36.2 innings over 10 starts for Milwaukee. May will still end up getting the call for the Brewers on Tuesday, in part due to his success versus the Padres this year -- across three starts against San Diego, he surrendered just three earned runs with a 22:5 K:BB in 22 frames, including a one-hit shutout in June.
Vaughn isn't in the lineup Saturday for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Padres.
Vaughn is on the Brewers' NLDS roster and fully healthy after ending the regular season on the injured list due to an illness, but Milwaukee will keep him on the bench to begin Game 1 despite a matchup against left-hander Robbie Ray. While Vaughn sits, Jake Bauers will start at first base, and Christian Yelich will serve as the designated hitter.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: In Game 1 lineup
Rotowire
Ortiz (knee/abdomen/groin) will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday against the Padres in Game 1 of the NLDS.
Ortiz sat out the Brewers' final two regular-season contests to recover from an assortment of injuries, and after also getting extra time to heal thanks to a first-round bye, he is on the NLDS roster and in the lineup to begin Milwaukee's postseason run. The 28-year-old infielder has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball since the All-Star break, slashing .329/.379/.532 across 174 plate appearances during the second half.

Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Included on NLDS roster
Rotowire
Harrison is listed on the Brewers' roster for their National League Division Series against the Padres.
Harrison was at risk of missing out on the Brewers' postseason roster after giving up 25 runs (22 earned) in his final 12.1 regular-season innings, but the team seems to feel comfortable including him to presumably work out of the bullpen. The 25-year-old lefty looked sharper during his final regular-season outing against the Cardinals, tossing two scoreless innings while striking out four batters, but he still isn't likely to see high-leverage work in the playoffs.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Ortiz (knee/abdomen) is "progressing in the right direction" and expected to be on the NLDS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Ortiz was banged up down the stretch of the regular season, nursing knee, abdominal and groin issues. It's a fair assumption that the infielder isn't 100 percent, but he's doing well enough to strap it on for the NLDS. Ortiz should be the Brewers' primary third baseman during the postseason as long as he holds up physically.
Vaughn (illness) has been cleared to go through a full team workout with the Brewers on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Vaughn last played in a game Sept. 19, as he dealt with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He is now considered fully healthy and will be included on the Brewers' NLDS roster, likely seeing some opportunities against left-handers.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Awaiting clearance for mound work
Rotowire
Woodruff (shoulder) completed the flat-ground portion of his throwing program Sunday and is awaiting to receive clearance to throw off the mound, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The veteran hurler is working his way back from a capsule strain in his right shoulder, an injury that was initially expected to require surgery before Woodruff healed more quickly than anticipated. If Woodruff gains clearance for mound work -- which isn't a given -- the right-hander could have a small chance to pitch at some point in the postseason.
