Ryan Braun

Ryan Braun (back) sitting Saturday for Milwaukee

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Braun was removed from Friday's game with a back injury, and he'll miss this afternoon's as a precaution. Eric Thames will shift to left field with Hernan Perez in right in Braun's place.

With 9 home runs and a .245 average on the year, Braun is projected to hit .266 with 10 more homers the rest of the way.
