Brewers' Jake Bauers: Named NLCS MVP
Bauers was named the NLCS MVP after going 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Game 4 against the Dodgers on Thursday.
The first baseman's ground-rule double during the fourth inning cut a 4-0 deficit in half, and he brought home another run with a bases-loaded walk in the fifth. There were a few strong options to be named series MVP for Milwaukee, but it's hard to argue against Bauers, who went 4-for-14 with three walks, a double, a homer and six RBI during the four-game sweep.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Launches game-deciding homer
Bauers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
After working a 12-pitch walk to help chase Yoshinobu Yamamoto early in Game 2 on Monday, Bauers capped an 11-pitch at-bat with a two-run blast during the seventh inning Wednesday to erase a 2-1 deficit for Milwaukee. The first baseman's .261 average through seven playoff games this year doesn't jump off the page -- especially since Wednesday's homer was his first extra-base hit -- but he's also worked six walks and has delivered in key moments, especially in the NLCS.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting day off for injury management
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs as part of his maintenance plan for shin splints, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Bauers recently revealed that he was diagnosed with shin splints Aug. 23, and the injury is something that is unlikely to improve while he intends to play through it the rest of the season. In an effort to help Bauers manage the injury, he'll be given periodic rest days, and the Brewers decided that keeping the left-handed hitter on the bench Monday was an optimal time to do so while southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the hill for the Cubs. Andrew Vaughn will step in at first base in place of Bauers, who went 6-for-25 with a home run, a stolen base and a whopping 16 walks while starting in nine of the Brewers' previous 10 games.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Homers in loss
Bauers went 1-for-2 with a home run, three walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 12-8 loss to the Reds.
Bauers reached base in four of five plate appearances, highlighted by a two-run blast in the fourth inning. It was a much-needed effort for the 30-year-old, who received a breather Saturday after going just 1-for-12 in his first four September contests. On the season, he's slashing .270/.396/.493 with 24 homers, 78 RBI, 82 runs scored and 10 steals across 518 plate appearances.

Brewers' Jake Bauers: Out again Wednesday
Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets after being diagnosed with shin splints Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Bauers was believed to be dealing with a swollen foot after he fouled a ball off himself in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, but lingering shin splints are the actual cause of his absence from the lineup for the first two games of the Brewers' series with the Mets. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Bauers said that the shin splints first surfaced in May and flared up again over the past week. Bauers isn't considered at risk of landing on the injured list, but he'll have to manage the issue for the remainder of the season, and the Brewers will pick their spots in giving him rest. He came off the bench in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss and went 0-for-1 with a walk while playing the final two frames at first base, so despite not starting, Bauers should be available again Wednesday.
