Ryan Braun

Ryan Braun sitting for Brewers due to back issue

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is not available to play Sunday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks because his back locked up on him overnight.

What It Means:

Braun will also be out Monday to attend the funeral of Tyler Skaggs. He also missed time earlier this month with a lingering knee issue. Tyler Saladino is starting in left field on Sunday for Milwaukee.

Braun is batting .277/.328/.477 with 14 home runs, 18 doubles, 46 RBI, and 43 runs scored in 337 plate appearances this season.
