Kyle Lohse has a tall task tonight as he takes on the rival redbirds with three of his biggest bats out of the Brewers lineup: Braun, Ramirez and Segura. I would think Segura should be in the lineup tonight if not tomorrow, while Roenicke says Thursday is more likely. Segura himself said there's no pain and he feels like he can see just fine, so get him in there. Bad luck found Ramirez last night as a wild pitch somehow missed his elbow guard and got him on the bone, making him a straight no-go for tonight. Braun's injury is a little bit different as he is day-to-day with his oblique injury, but he did make an appearance in the on-deck circle last night. Although he ultimately ended up not batting, that would indicate that he should be able to play tonight in a worst-case scenario or as a pinch hitter. In addition to the injuries Martin Maldonado is starting for Jonathan Lucroy, who hasn't had a day off in over a week. The Brewers have a tough task with tonight's makeshift lineup, especially since haven't taken a series in St. Louis since September of 2012.
