Braun's (back) transition to left field was made official by Brewers' manager Craig Counsell on Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Braun has spent the last few seasons occupying right field, primarily to allow the suspect defense of Khris Davis a slightly easier position to defend. With Davis now out of the mix, Braun will take over that role, allowing Domingo Santana to play his natural position in right field. The move does little to affect Braun's fantasy outlook, but paves the way to consistent playing time for Santana.
