Ryan Braun

Ryan Braun will receive a day off on Monday. The veteran will likely be available for pinch hit duties as well.

Fantasy Impact

Braun should be back in action on Tuesday against the Cardinals. With Braun sitting, Ben Gamel gets the nod. In 27 at-bats Gamel has a .259 average and .725 OPS. Gamel will be batting seventh on Monday.

Ryan Braun went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in the Brewers' 14-8 loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Braun cranked a three-run home run in the seventh, his second in as many days. Braun now has three home runs and .625 SLG on the year.

Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and four RBI in the Brewers' 13-10 win over the Cubs on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Braun clobbered a Jose Quintana fastball 408 feet to left center in the second. Braun made it hard on Quintana, driving in four runs in two innings off the veteran lefty. Even at age 35 Braun has something left in the tank, although he's best in daily lineup leagues thanks to an above average amount of regular days off.

Ryan Braun will get a night off on Tuesday as the Brewers take on the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Braun had a good night at the plate last night by hitting two doubles, driving in a run and scoring a run. The Brewers are expected to rest Braun a decent amount this season with his history of injury their reasoning. He'll likely be back in the lineup tomorrow.

Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in the Brewers' 4-3 win over the Reds on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Braun delivered a key RBI double in the bottom of the eighth to drive in the winning run. The 35-year-old is off to a solid start with a .333 AVG and five RBI in the Brewers' first five games. When healthy he should be a good fantasy option, but expect him to miss time throughout the season and receive more rest days than the average player.
