Leading off in series finale Rengifo will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Nationals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Rengifo had been scheduled to get Sunday off, but he'll instead make a fifth consecutive start as a result of Brice Turang (illness) being a late scratch. David Hamilton will slide over from third base to second base to make room in the lineup for Rengifo, who will replace Turang as the club's table setter.

Excluded from lineup Sunday Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Rengifo will hit the bench for the series finale in Washington after going 5-for-17 with two doubles, one walk and four RBI while starting in Milwaukee's last four contests. Joey Ortiz will enter the starting nine at shortstop while David Hamilton slides over to Rengifo's usual spot at third base.

APRIL 30 • Associated Press

Not in Tuesday's lineup Rengifo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Rengifo started eight of Milwaukee's past 10 games and started that stretch hot by going 6-for-17, but he's followed that with just one hit in his last 11 at-bats. Joey Ortiz will return to the starting nine at shortstop Tuesday while David Hamilton mans the hot corner.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Run of starts ends Rengifo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Rengifo will hit the bench after he had drawn starts in each of the last five games while going 5-for-16 with two doubles, two walks, three RBI, three runs and one stolen base. Joey Ortiz is back in the lineup Wednesday after sitting for three of those five contests, but he's put together a weak .192/.263/.192 slash line over 59 plate appearances, which has loosened his grip on the everyday role at shortstop. If Ortiz ends up losing playing time, Rengifo would likely take over as the Brewers' primary third baseman, with David Hamilton shifting over to shortstop.

First-ever start at first base Rengifo will make his first professional start at first base in Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Injuries have forced the Brewers to scramble a bit, and they will give Rengifo a shot at first base. Rengifo is off to an uninspiring .128/.180/.213 start at the plate this season and has been playing second fiddle to David Hamilton at third base.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Run of starts comes to end Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Rengifo will take a seat after he had started at third base in each of the last six games while going just 2-for-25 with a pair of doubles and a walk during that stretch. The Brewers should continue to open up regular at-bats for Rengifo against left-handed pitching, but he'll likely need to perform better in order to earn more consistent opportunities versus righties.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Collecting fourth straight start Rengifo will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Rengifo will cover third base for a fourth straight game after going 2-for-14 with a pair of doubles and a run scored over the previous three contests. Despite the recent uptick in playing, Rengifo won't necessarily be in line for an everyday role moving forward. He's benefited from Milwaukee facing two left-handed starters during this four-game stretch, as well as Brice Turang being held out of the lineup for the latter two contests while battling what appears to be a minor ankle injury.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Wednesday Rengifo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Rengifo had been included in the lineup in each of the Brewers' last three games, though two of those starts came against left-handed pitching. At least for the early part of the season, the left-handed-hitting David Hamilton looks poised to see most of the starts at third base against right-handed pitching, so Rengifo will have to settle for more of a utility role.

MARCH 29 • Associated Press

Absent from Opening Day lineup Rengifo is out of the lineup for Thursday's opening day matchup with the White Sox.

Impact The 29-year-old joined the Brewers on a one-year, $3.5 million contract in February, but it'll be David Hamilton that starts at the hot corner Opening Day. Rengifo and Hamilton seem likely to split playing time at third base to begin the season.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to share time at hot corner Rengifo is likely to share playing time at third base with David Hamilton, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact McCalvy lists Rengifo as the Brewers' expected primary third baseman, but he also notes that it's possible the left-handed-hitting Hamilton starts Opening Day versus White Sox righty Shane Smith. Rengifo is a switch hitter but has historically been much better against lefties (.749 OPS) than righties (.665 OPS). A strict platoon is unlikely, as manager Pat Murphy figures to be fluid in how he doles out playing time at the hot corner. Prospects Jett Williams and/or Cooper Pratt could also push their way into the third-base mix at some point this season.

Former Angels infielder Luis Rengifo agrees to terms with Brewers, AP source says

A person familiar with the situation says ormer Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo has agreed to terms on a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers

FEBRUARY 14 • Associated Press

Signs one-year deal with Brewers The Brewers signed Rengifo to a one-year contract Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rengifo had a disappointing walk year with the Angels last season, slashing just .238/.287/.335 with nine home runs and 10 stolen bases over 147 contests. However, he hit a solid .273/.323/.431 across the three seasons prior to that and will turn just 29 later this month. Rengifo should be the new favorite to start at third base for Milwaukee, though he also offers the versatility to operate in a super utility role, if that's what the club prefers.
