Brewers' Ryan Braun: Not in Friday's lineup

Braun is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup with the Cardinals.

Analysis:

Despite driving in seven runs in his past four games, Braun will head to the bench for what is presumably a day off. Domingo Santana will slide over to fill the void in left field, while Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Hernan Perez round out the Milwaukee outfield.
