Ryan Braun

Brewers sitting Ryan Braun for Thursday's series finale

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is absent from Thursday's lineup versus the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Braun will get a breather as the Brewers play a day game after a night game. Jesus Aguilar is starting at first and Eric Thames will man left. Hernan Perez will also replace Orlando Arcia at shortstop for maintenance purposes.

Thames costs $2,300 on FanDuel Thursday and numberFire's metrics believe he's the fourth-best value play available on the board today. The 30-year-old outfielder is 3-for-9 so far this season with a jack, three RBI's and four strikeouts.
