Brewers will have Eric Thames (illness) back on Friday
Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell confirmed first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (illness) will be back in the lineup Friday against the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Thames has sat out since Sunday with strep throat but was feeling good enough to make a pinch-hit appearance on Thursday; he flew out. Expect the first baseman to be penciled into his typical second spot in the lineup versus right-hander Eddie Butler and the Cubs.
The lefty is batting .292 with a 1.028 OPS, 8 home runs, and 17 RBI's in 116 plate appearances versus right-handed pitchers this season.
