Much as they've handled center field this season, the Milwaukee Brewers will use a platoon at third base for the foreseeable future.
Manager Craig Counsell said Friday in the wake of the trade of Aaron Hill that Hernan Perez and Will Middlebrooks — neither of whom opened the season with the Brewers — are going to receive most of the opportunities at third. Newly recalled Yadiel Rivera also will be able to play there.
"There won't be a guy there at this point," Counsell said. "We'll split time there. We'll just kind of see how it goes.
