Corey Hart News

MLB Team Report - Milwaukee Brewers - INSIDE PITCH The Brewers, 9-2 losers against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, are starting to get a better idea about when first baseman Corey Hart will be back in the lineup.

The Giants put RHP Ryan Vogelsong on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday and prepared to be without him for two months in another challenge for their struggling starting rotation.

We're discussing the aftermath of a dominant pitching performance and more in today's daily roundup of all things Brewers.

The former Brewers right-hander, who was traded to the Los Angeles Angels last season and then signed a free-agent contract with the Dodgers over the winter, is 15-0 in his onetime home.

Corey Hart's absence has certainly been felt in Milwaukee, but it would seem as though he isn't yet close to returning to the Brewers' lineup.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said first baseman Corey Hart and left-hander Chris Narveson were making progress rehabbing from injuries.

We are about one quarter of the way through the MLB season with the Atlanta Braves clinging to a slim lead in the National League East.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said his decision to drop Rickie Weeks from fifth to seventh in the lineup Wednesday night was about production as well as trying to take some pressure off his slumping second baseman.

On one particular belt-high, no-movement pitch that conveniently split the plate for Matt Holliday, pretty much everyone in the park knew where that one was headed.

It's still not fashionable to say in some circles, even with Betancourt off to a sizzling start for the Brewers, but Chris Rykwalder is a big fan.

Then there was a splendid 12-3 stretch. The pitching improved. The hitting improved.

After injuries forced him to juggle his lineup for the first month of the season, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke finally has everyone - except for Corey Hart - in the slots he prefers.

It was Opening Day all over again for Aramis Ramirez, who returned to third base and the Brewers' cleanup hole Friday after a month-long stay on the disabled list for a sprained left knee.

Each season, a handful of players come out of nowhere to get off to unexpected hot starts, making far greater contributions than anticipated to kick off the season.

The Milwaukee Brewers ended April better than anyone could have expected, winning 12 out of their 15 games and finishing the first month of regular season play at 14-11. They start out May a half-game back of the St.
