base and batting sixth Saturday against St. Louis.
”That first day, no matter how much sleep you have, no matter the travel, it doesn’t really matter, you’re running on adrenaline

Santana hit .278 last season for Milwaukee with 30 homers and 85 RBIs, but never got going this season. He hit .249 and just three homers and 17 RBIs in
189 at-bats.
”At some point, we’re going to need Domingo and we’d prefer that he was kind of rolling and clicking when that times comes,” manager Craig Counsell said.

Miller has started at seven different positions in the majors. He played 105 games at shortstop with Tampa Bay in 2016

”What we may ask of him is to move around the field more regularly at different positions on a daily basis, whether it be double switches late in the
game or in a starting role,” Counsell said. ”But, he is versatile, he’s a pretty
