Peterson is out of Friday's lineup against the Reds.

Peterson's playing time has become sparse recently now sitting for the the third time in the past four games. Domingo Santana will start in center field in his place Friday, and may continue to receive a large chunk of starts as the Brewers look to evaluate their young talent.

Peterson is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Indians.

Peterson continues to receive most of the starts in center field, but will now sit for the third time in six games. Logan Schfer will receive the start in his place Wednesday, batting ninth for the Brewers.

Peterson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Since the trade of Gerardo Parra, Peterson has typically manned the leadoff spot for the Brewers, but those duties -- along with his regular starting role -- may soon be coming to an end. Though Peterson has provided a respectable .339 on-base percentage on the season, his lack of any impact tools could result in him becoming a fourth outfielder as the Brewers look to take an extended look at Domingo Santana, a higher-upside power hitter that the team recently called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Peterson is out of the lineup Thursday.

With lefty Jon Lester on the mound the Brewers will sit Peterson for the first time in over a week. Logan Schafer will get the start in center field and hit eighth Thursday.

Peterson will bat leadoff and start in center field Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals.

Peterson will bat atop the order for the first time this season, as manager Craig Counsell will attempt to shake up the lineup after getting shut out in back-to-back games. It's unclear if this move will stick, but if Peterson can string together a couple solid efforts in this position, it could bode well for his fantasy value down the stretch.

Peterson will start in center field in Friday's game against the Cubs.

Peterson is not a center fielder by trade, so it's unlikely he will be the Brewers' everyday center fielder moving forward. However, with Khris Davis in left field and Ryan Braun in right, he is the best option offensively of the remaining outfielders, so manager Craig Counsell will give him a chance to show what he can do. Expect Logan Schafer and Elian Herrera to see action in center field as well.

Peterson has been practicing at first base before games and got some action there Saturday when Adam Lind got hurt.

The Brewers don't have a true first baseman behind Lind on the big league roster, with Jason Rogers back in Triple-A. Peterson originally was a first baseman but converted to the outfield in the minors. With Lind nursing a sore back, it's possible he and Jonathan Lucroy could get more starts over at first base.

Peterson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.

Peterson has made three straight starts for the Brewers, but with Ryan Braun back in action and Jonathan Lucroy serving as the DH Sunday, there simply wasn't room for him in the lineup. He'll take a seat for the afternoon contest, but should be available if the need for a left-handed bat off the bench arises.

Peterson will start in left field Wednesday in place of Ryan Braun, who left the team to undergo a procedure on his thumb.

Peterson will jump right into the lineup after being called up by the Brewers on Wednesday, and will hit sixth against Cardinals starter John Lackey. He figures to handle the left field duties until Braun returns to the club, which could be as soon as this weekend.

The Brewers recalled Peterson from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Peterson will join the Brewers for the first time to provide the team with some depth in the outfield. He is just an average prospect at 27 years old, but he has taken full advantage of the thin Colorado air, posting a .911 OPS this season and going 15-for-31 (.366) over his last 10 games. His playing time will sporadic, but he figures to see plenty of pinch-hit opportunities as the only lefty on the roster who is not currently a regular in the lineup.

The Brewers optioned Peterson to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.

Peterson showed well in spring training, posting a .296 batting average and .819 OPS over 17 spring games, but he did not do enough to break camp with the big club. Expect Peterson to see plenty of action with Colorado Springs.

Peterson was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Peterson was claimed by the Cubs earlier in the offseason, and will now be on his third team over that span. He will likely serve as organizational depth for the Brewers, who added Adam Lind in the offseason.

Peterson was claimed off waivers by the Cubs on Friday, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.

Peterson will head to Chicago after being designated for assignment by the A's last week. He has appeared in just two big league games in his career but will likely receive a chance to compete for a roster spot during spring training.

Peterson was designated for assignment Thursday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

The move was made to clear room on the 40-man roster, with the A's picking up Mark Canha from Colorado on Thursday. Peterson had a brief, two-game stint with the A's in 2013, notching an RBI single for his only career major league hit. He spent last season in Triple-A, hitting .308 with 90 RBI and 11 home runs in 543 at-bats.

Athletics reassigned INF Shane Peterson, LHP Andrew Werner, RHPs Jose Flores and Jeremy McBryde and C Bruce Maxwell to minor league camp.

No real surprises among the bunch here, as is typical with early spring roster cut-downs. The 26-year-old Peterson had a solid year at Triple-A Sacramento in 2013, slashing .251/.358/.387 with 12 homers, 79 RBI and 17 stolen bases. His versatility could lead to him getting a chance with the A's at some point during the 2014 season.

Athletics optioned OF/1B Shane Peterson to Triple-A Sacramento.

Peterson was up for a couple days while Brandon Moss was on paternity leave, picking up a hit and an RBI in seven at-bats. He should get another chance this summer.

Athletics recalled OF Shane Peterson from Triple-A Sacramento.

Peterson will provide some extra depth while Brandon Moss is the paternity leave list. He's unlikely to be fantasy relevant during his brief stay with the club.

Athletics purchased the contract of OF Shane Peterson from Triple-A Sacramento.

He's now protected from the Rule 5 Draft. Peterson, 24, batted .326/.460/.510 with nine homers and 13 steals between Double-A and Triple-A in 2012. He's viewed as an extra outfielder but could make his debut sometime next season.
