Manager Craig Counsell is hopeful that Braun (back) will be able to play in a spring game Tuesday or Wednesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Braun has not appeared in a game since March 21 due to soreness in his back, but it appears he is on the verge of returning to action after receiving a week off. Braun is expected to be ready for Opening Day, but he did not play much this spring and is apparently still completing his recovery from offseason back surgery, so the Brewers may elect to take it easy with him early on.
