Brewers' Ryan Braun: Returns to lineup Thursday
Braun (personal) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Pirates, batting third and playing left field.
Analysis:
Braun took the past two games off to attend to the birth of his son, but the outfielder is back with the team Thursday and ready to play again. The 32-year-old will likely slot in as the starting left fielder for the remainder of the season, barring any extraneous circumstances.
