Braun (back) is not in the lineup Thursday.
Analysis:
This is his sixth straight game out of the lineup with a flareup of his lower-back issue. There hasn't been a return date assigned as of yet, and with five years left on his contract and the Brewers going nowhere, it's fair to question whether he will return at all this season.
