Braun was scratched from Friday's Cactus League lineup with flu-like symptoms, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Braun's last-minute scratch provided a brief scare but it was only due to an illness, which isn't likely to keep him down for long. While the 31-year-old is 0-for-7 with two walks and two strikeouts so far this spring, he hasn't reported any issues with his thumb. Braun entered camp without any limitations after undergoing a cryotherapy procedure the thumb in October.
