Brewers' Kirk Nieuwenhuis: Out of lineup Sunday

Nieuwenhuis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Nieuwenhuis has been brutal over his past seven starts, going 1-for-24 with 14 strikeouts, a stretch that has dropped his batting average 55 points. He still looks to be locked in as the Brewers' primary center fielder, but he'll cede starting duties to Keon Broxton on Sunday with a left-hander in Brandon Finnegan on the mound for the opposition.
