Jake Bauers was out of the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup on August 26 against the New York Mets due to shin splints diagnosed in both legs on August 24. Having dealt with shin pain periodically since late May, Bauers reported last week that his symptoms worsened, leading to increased swelling. Although he is not expected to go on the injured list, he will need to manage his playing time to mitigate pain for the rest of the season as he leads the team with 23 home runs and an.884 OPS.
