Lineup: Kevin Newman SS, Bryan Reynolds RF, Starling Marte CF, Josh Bell 1B, Colin Moran 3B, Corey Dickerson LF, Elias Diaz C, Adam Frazier 2B, Jordan Lyles P. Eli should be fresh after his break, and it's nice to see a regular lineup start to take hold.

Pitchers: RHP Jordan Lyles (5-3/3.64) takes on RHP Brandon Woodruff (9-1/4.01). Jordan is coming off the IL; he had a solid rehab outing for Indy and hopefully won't have many barnacles to scrape off today. This will be the first time he faces off against Milwaukee as a Bucco; lifetime, he's 3-4/4.10 in 14 games (nine starts) against the Brewers. Woodruff is a guy who gets lots of support. He's 4-1 this month with a 5.70 ERA; his mates have scored six runs or more in his June wins. In two starts against Pittsburgh this year, he's 1-0 but has given up nine runs in 10 innings, so the MO has been the same.
Notes:
- Today's move: Jordan Lyles was activated off the IL and the Bucs optioned Geoff Hartlieb back to Indy.
- Kevin Newman is on an 18-game hitting streak, tying Neil Walker (2010) and Rennie Stennett (1971) for longest run by a Pirates rookie.
- The Bucs have won 7-of-8.
- Injured Indy guys 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes and Swiss Army knife Pablo Reyes begin their rehab assignments (paywall) at West Virginia today, per Pirates Prospects John Dreker.
