Braun is not in Monday's lineup against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Braun will get his second day off in a row. The Brewers face six righties in six games this week, so it's possible Braun only gets a handful of starts in the two series, although he should be available off the bench. Ben Gamel is starting in left field and hitting seventh.

Braun is not in Sunday's lineup against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers will give a few veterans (Braun, Lorenzo Cain, Yasmani Grandal) a breather after Saturday's 14-inning game. Braun hit a pair of homers in the thrilling victory and is hitting .372 with three home runs in 43 at-bats this month.

Braun went 3-for-6 with a walk, two solo home runs and a third run scored in Saturday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger had just one homer in his prior 18 games, but Braun broke out in a big way during the marathon 14-inning win Saturday, with his second long ball coming off Nats closer Sean Doolittle as part of a four-run ninth. Overall, Braun has turned back the clock in the second half, slashing .323/.396/.645 through 30 contests since the All-Star break with six home runs, four steals, 15 RBI and 20 runs.

Braun is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Braun is not in the lineup Monday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Braun will stick on the bench for a second straight game while rookie Trent Grisham picks up another start in the outfield in his stead. There has been no word of any injury at this point.

Braun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun is 7-for-21 with three doubles, a home run and four RBI in his last six games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale. Trent Grisham, Ben Gamel and Christian Yelich will start in the outfield from left to right Sunday.

Braun will attempt to re-acclimate to first base following the departure of Jesus Aguilar, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Braun worked at first base during spring training in 2018 and saw time there in 17 games before Aguilar took over the starting role, and he'll begin working out at the position once again. Eric Thames figures to continue serving as the primary starter at first base against right-handed pitching, but the Brewers are looking to fill Aguilar's role in the short-side platoon versus southpaws. It remains to be seen how the positional switch works this time around, but top-prospect Trent Grisham is expected to be called up to help cover Braun's potential absence in the outfield.

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

EDGE Analysis

Braun is hitting .255 with three homers and nine RBI over 20 games in July. With Braun out of the lineup Tuesday, Ben Gamel draws the start in left field and will hit ninth.

Braun is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Braun missed some time at the start of the week with back tightness but started the previous two games. Assuming he's healthy, the veteran outfielder figures to rejoin the lineup Saturday and Sunday with a pair of southpaws on the mound for the Cubs. Eric Thames enters the lineup in right field in his place, pushing Christian Yelich to left.

Braun went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

While nagging injuries continue to cost Braun the occasional game, the veteran slugger has been productive when he's been in the lineup. On the year, Braun is slashing .274/.327/.479 with 15 homers, seven steals, 45 runs and 48 RBI through 95 games.
