Braun is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

He is hitting .200/.256/.375 with one home run and one steal in 40 at-bats over his last 10 games. Jace Peterson is getting the start in left field while Christian Yelich starts at designated hitter.

Braun is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Braun started the last five games and went 6-for-21 with one homer, two doubles, three runs, three RBI and a stolen base during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench for the series opener. Keston Hiura will serve as the designated hitter while Luis Urias starts at the keystone.

Braun went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Batting leadoff again for Milwaukee, Braun touched up Rich Hill in the third inning for his first home run of the season. He has now led off against the last two lefties the Brewers have faced; the team has been looking for a solution atop the order, and this arrangement figures to stick against southpaws for now. The veteran has hit fifth or six against righties since his return from an infected finger.

Braun is starting in right field and leading off Sunday against Jon Lester and the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun returned to action Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two doubles. He has a career .333 average against Lester and with Ben Gamel in a major slump, it's possible Braun will be in line for more outfield starts going forward.

Braun went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored Saturday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun wasn't rewarded any RBI but came through with his first extra-base hits since returning from the injured list. He's had only sporadic playing time after an 0-for-8 start in his first games back, but showed signs of life at the dish Saturday.

Braun is not in the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun was activated off the injured list Tuesday and is 0-for-8 with two strikeouts, and he'll take a seat for the second straight contest Friday. Christian Yelich will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter while Brock Holt starts in left field.

Braun isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun went 0-for-8 with two strikeouts in his first two games since returning from the injured list, and he'll take a seat for the team's series opener at Wrigley Field. Keston Hiura will take over as the designated hitter with Brock Holt entering the lineup at third base.

Braun (finger) returned from the injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Braun played just four games this season before landing on the injured list with an infected finger. He should be in the lineup most of the time going forward, though the Brewers will likely still be cautious with the oft-injured 36-year-old. Mark Mathias was optioned in a corresponding move.

Braun (finger) went to the Brewers' alternate training site in Appleton to get some at-bats in, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Braun is already eligible to return from his trip to the injured list with an infected finger, though he needed a bit more time to get back in game shape before returning to the active roster. It's not yet clear exactly when he'll be back, but it doesn't sound as though he'll miss many more days, if any.

Braun (finger) won't return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Previous reports held that Braun would require just a minimum-length stay on the injured list with his infected finger, but he'll evidently need at least a bit more time, as the Brewers want him to get at-bats in a simulated game or two. The Brewers have used five different players at the designated hitter spot in his absence.
