DENVER -- Carlos Gomez couldn't crack Sunday's lineup against the Rockies as he continues recovery for his troublesome right hip. But Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Gomez is "moving in the right direction" and that a disabled stint is less likely than when the weekend started.

Milwaukee has an off-day on Monday before opening up a three-game set against the Mets at Miller Park. Counsell was hopeful that Gomez would be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener.
"That would be the best-case scenario, and that's what I'm hoping for," Counsell said.
