Collins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Collins will get a breather in the series finale after starting in each of the last six games while going just 2-for-21 with a 4:6 BB:K. Christian Yelich typically serves as Milwaukee's designated hitter, but he'll cover left field Sunday in place of a resting Collins.

Milwaukee will go with a starting outfield trio of Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick from left to right in Game 1, but expect Collins to be included in the lineup for the nightcap.

Collins went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs.

Rotowire
Collins will start in left field and bat second Sunday against the Cubs.
The switch-hitting Collins has now batted second in the Brewers' last two matchups against left-handed pitchers, but the 27-year-old has been gaining a foothold in Milwaukee's lineup against righties too, and he seems to be the main beneficiary of an IL stint for Garrett Mitchell (oblique). Collins has held his own over 48 plate appearances, slashing .256/.333/.419 with a home run and two stolen bases.

Brewers' Isaac Collins: Exits after HBP
Rotowire
Collins was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox after getting hit on the elbow by a pitch, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Collins took a 95-mph fastball off his right elbow during the second inning of Wednesday's contest. He initially remained in the game but was eventually replaced on defense by Vinny Capra during the third frame. The Brewers have already determined that Collins only suffered a bruise as a result of the incident, so while he may sit out a game or two to heal, a trip to the IL shouldn't be necessary.
