Braun is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Braun battled back tightness last week, forcing him to miss Saturday's contest. He returned Sunday but is now back on the bench Monday. It's not clear if the back problems have returned or if he's simply having a scheduled day off. Regardless of the reason, Trent Grisham will start in left field in his absence.

Braun (back) is starting in left field and batting cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder underwent an MRI and was unavailable for Saturday's contest, so it's somewhat surprising to see him in the starting nine for the series finale. Regardless, Braun will take his usual starting spot in left field while Lorenzo Cain (knee) and Christian Yelich round out Milwaukee's outfield.

Braun (back) is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI on Saturday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder had the back pain resurface Friday, but the MRI ruled out any structural damage. Braun was unavailable Saturday and seems likely to be out of the lineup again Sunday, barring a drastic improvement. Trent Grisham, Ben Gamel and Tyrone Taylor are all candidates for increased outfield reps since Lorenzo Cain (knee) is also less than 100 percent.

Braun (back) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun dealt with a back issue at the end of August and the pain returned Friday. The 35-year-old will be forced to sit Saturday and it's uncertain if he will be available off the bench. With Lorenzo Cain also banged up, the Brewers recalled Tyrone Taylor for outfield depth.

Braun (back) will start in left field and bat fifth Monday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Braun was withheld from the starting nine for the past two days due to the back concern, but he was at least able to pinch hit in Saturday's 2-0 win. With his back apparently responding well to Sunday's rest day, Braun will return to his familiar spot in left field, resulting in Ben Gamel moving back to the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Braun was withheld from Saturday's starting nine due to the back issue and remains on the bench Sunday. Ben Gamel receives another start in left field in his place.

EDGE Analysis

This helps explain why Braun is out of the lineup against lefty Cole Hamels on Saturday. The veteran outfielder has dealt on-and-off with a back injury this season and should be considered day-to-day. Ben Gamel is starting in left field in place of Braun in this one.

Braun is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun's absence is somewhat surprising with the Brewers playing at Wrigley Field -- where the outfielder owns a career .934 OPS in 90 games -- against a left-hander in Cole Hamels. Ben Gamel is starting in left field in his place Saturday.

Braun isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Braun has registered multi-hit performances in three of his last five contests, but he's in line for a breather Tuesday evening. Trent Grisham will man left field and hit leadoff.
