The games are too important to miss. That’s why Brewers veteran third baseman Mike Moustakas says he’s hoping to return to action this weekend in Chicago against the Cubs. Moose has been sidelined since injuring his wrist Wednesday while trying to field a hard-hit ground ball. X-rays of his sore and swollen wrist were negative and tests show nothing is broken. After narrowly avoiding a sweep at the hands of St. Louis, the three games in Wrigley Field could get manager Craig Counsell’s team back in the thick of things — or, could make another post-season run a long shot.
