Brewers' Ryan Braun: Was available as pinch hitter
Manager Craig Counsell indicated after Sunday's game that Braun (wrist) was available to pinch hit if needed, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
It's believed that Braun's injury isn't serious, and his availability Sunday certainly doesn't suggest otherwise. The veteran left fielder will now aim to rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, so expect further info on his injury at some point prior to that contest.
