Brewers' Ryan Braun: Confirmed for Friday lineup

Braun is in the lineup for the Brewers' split-squad Cactus League game Friday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Milwaukee has conserved the veteran outfielder's workload this spring in order to have him fresh for the regular season. Assuming the 33-year-old goes through spring training without any issues, prospective Braun owners could even feel justified taking him somewhere a bit ahead of his current NFBC ADP in the high 40s.
