Brewers' season-long hitting woes lead to early playoff exit

The hitting struggles that hampered the Milwaukee Brewers throughout the pandemic-shortened regular season proved fatal in the postseason

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • Associated Press

Sits again Saturday Narvaez will hit the bench for the third straight game Saturday against the Royals.

Impact It's possible Narvaez has slipped behind Jacob Nottingham on the depth chart, as he's started just four of the Brewers' last 11 games behind the plate. It's worth noting, however, that four of his times on the bench during that stretch have come against lefties like Saturday's starter Kris Bubic, so this may be more of a platoon situation than a true change in the hierarchy.
