Ryan Braun on Brewers' bench Wednesday night

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is not starting on Wednesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Jesus Aguilar is getting the start at first base, which will push Eric Thames to left field and send Ryan Braun to the bench on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old veteran is slashing .259/.341/.531 with 11 home runs in 45 games this season.

numberFire's models project Braun to record a .269 batting average with another 7 homers in 152 plate appearances over the rest of the season.
