Lucroy is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Analysis:

Lucroy has been behind the plate in each of the Brewers' first five games, but will take a seat for a day game following an evening contest. The veteran backstop is off to a five-game hitting streak to start the season, posting a .683 OPS over that span. In his stead, Martin Maldonado will get the start and bat sixth in the order.
