Fantasy Impact:

Braun missed time early in the week due to a wrist injury, but this back issue is reportedly unrelated. He's considered day-to-day, so he could be back as soon as Thursday against the Cubs. Still, considering Braun's hot start, his age and the fact that he's starting to show signs of potentially lingering injuries in May, he could be a good sell-high candidate. While he could maintain his production considering his track record and hitting environment, he also carries risk of regression and injury.
