Today's starting lineups are out. Josh Reddick gets the day off in favor of Seth Smith. For Milwaukee, Ryan Braun has the day off. Logan Schafer will play left. Last night's hero, Yuniesky Betancourt, is starting at first base while Juan Francisco will play his natural position at third.
In non-A's news, Chris Perez is being investigated for drug possession.
It's not every day that Milwaukee's starting lineup makes headlines. Whether or not Braun is just getting a regular day off remains to be seen. Since Bartolo is still starting, it can be assumed that Braun is just resting.
