What's Happening?
Caleb Durbin, a rookie for the Milwaukee Brewers, has been benched for the third consecutive game against Atlanta. Despite being healthy and performing well in Sunday's game against Washington, where he contributed significantly to the team's victory, Durbin remains out of the starting lineup. Manager Pat Murphy has not provided a clear explanation for Durbin's absence, although it is expected that he will resume his role as the primary third baseman. Anthony Seigler is currently filling in for Durbin, but his performance has been underwhelming, which may influence future lineup decisions.
