Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (calf, wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday afternoon versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Braun will miss a second straight start due to lingering soreness in his calf and wrist. Hernan Perez is starting in left field and batting fifth versus Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon.
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 .271 batting average with another 7 homers in 150 plate appearances over the rest of the season.
