Brewers' Blake Perkins: Back from bereavement list
Rotowire
The Brewers reinstated Perkins (personal) from the bereavement list Sunday.
The 28-year-old was away from the team for the past few days to tend to a personal matter, but he's back for the series finale in Cincinnati. Perkins will bat sixth and start in center field Sunday, and he should operate as the primary option at the position with Jackson Chourio (hamstring) likely out for a couple more weeks.
The Brewers placed Perkins (personal) on the bereavement list Thursday.
Perkins will step away from the team for a few days for personal reasons. Players can remain on the bereavement list for 3-to-7 games, so the outfielder should be back with the Brewers sometime next week. Brandon Lockridge could pick up some extra starts in center field in the meantime.

Brewers' Blake Perkins: Enjoys big game in victory
Rotowire
Perkins went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 5-4 win against Atlanta on Wednesday.
Perkins' two-run homer to right field in the fifth inning gave the Brewers a 5-1 lead, and that held up as Atlanta fell short by a run. Perkins continues to thrive in the absence of Jackson Chourio (hamstring); since Chourio got hurt July 29, Perkins has started seven straight games in center field and is batting .323 with three homers, nine runs, six RBI and a stolen base during that span. Perkins went deep just six times over 121 regular-season games last year, and he's already halfway to that mark with three home runs through just 17 contests this season.

The switch hitter launched both blasts from the right side of the plate, taking Mitchell Parker deep in the second and fifth innings. The homers were the first of the season for Perkins, who is batting .281 (9-for-32) over 12 games since the All-Star break with five extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple, two home runs), two steals, six RBI and eight runs. With Jackson Chourio (hamstring) set to miss more than the 10-day minimum after being placed on the injured list Friday, Perkins should be in line for an everyday role over the next few weeks.
