Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (calf) will play left field on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals in the National League Wild Card game, manager Craig Counsell said.
Braun suffered a mild calf strain last Friday and was held out of the Brewers' final two regular-season games, but Counsell said it's a non-issue and that the veteran was available to pinch-hit on Sunday if needed. He bounced back in his age-35 season after hitting a career-low .254 in 2018.
Braun batted .285/.343/.505 with 22 homers, 75 RBI, 11 steals, and 70 runs scored in 508 plate appearances (144 games) this season.
