4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Ryan Braun is not among the starting nine for Monday’s contest against Pittsburgh and right-hander Trevor Williams. Braun is battling a back injury that has kept him from playing everyday as Jace Peterson will instead man right field with Jedd Gyorko serving as the DH. Manager Craig Counsell noted that Monday was just a day of maintenance for Braun, who will not be heading to the IL due to the ailment. Still, having produced a .588 OPS through his first 19 games, Braun is teetering on the precipice of losing much of his season-long intrigue.--Jesse Borek
