Brewers' Ryan Braun: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

Braun has been scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks due to tightness in his right side, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Braun was initially slated to man left field and bat third, but the Brewers will now go with Ramon Flores in right, while Kirk Nieuwenhuis enters the lineup in left field. Hernan Perez will now bat third, while Nieuwenhuis hits fifth and Flores eighth. Braun should be considered day-to-day until the team says otherwise.
