William Contreras Sitting on Sunday
William Contreras (hand) is on the bench Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Danny Jansen will fill in behind the plate and hit seventh versus left-hander Matthew Liberatore. Contreras left the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday after he was struck in the hand on a swing on a catcher's interference. X-rays came back negative after the game, though, and Contreras told manager Pat Murphy that he'd be able to play Sunday. Murphy is understandably playing it safe with Contreras, one of the Brewers' most valuable players, as the postseason approaches. In yet another productive campaign, the 27-year-old has slashed .265/.360/.407 with 17 homers, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, and six stolen bases across 147 games and 647 plate appearances.
