ABOUT THE BREWERS (20-22): Carlos Gomez was dropped to the No. 8 spot in the batting order Tuesday, after he left eight men on base in Monday’s 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

Reliever Zach Braddock (sleep disorder) threw three scoreless innings in his second minor league rehab appearance for Class-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, and he could be activated when the Brewers return home on Friday. Starting pitcher Shaun Marcum is making an early bid for the All-Star Game with a 5-1 record and 2.54 ERA through nine starts. He has been especially tough on the road, allowing just two earned runs over 34 innings (0.53 ERA) in his last four outings.
ABOUT THE PADRES (18-24): Center fielder Cameron Maybin was given Tuesday off with patellar tendinitis. He left Monday’s game in the seventh inning for precautionary reasons, but the Padres believe he’ll be available as early as Wednesday. Maybin is hitting .480 (12-for-25) over his last six games. Speedster Eric Patterson got the start in center on Tuesday. With second baseman Orlando Hudson (hamstring) coming off the disabled list Thursday, Logan Forsythe was sent back to Triple-A Tucson. Forsythe went 0-for-7 with a walk in six games. Hudson, who was 3-for-4 with three walks in two rehab starts with Tucson, will play Wednesday for Single-A Lake Elsinore. Reliever Pat Neshek was recalled from Triple-A to provide help for an overworked bullpen. Neshak started the season with the Padres and went 2.25 ERA over eight innings before being optioned on April 24.
