October 4, 2009
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting that the Brewers will bring back manager Ken Macha for next season with and option for 2011.
Our View:
Many people thought Macha might have been in trouble after the Brewers' disappointing season, but the front office believes he is the right manager for this team. If the Brewers struggle again next season, don't expect the option to be picked up.
October 3, 2009

September 15, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Ryan Braun is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Our View:
The Brewers say Braun is totally healthy, but he's missed three of the last eight games for "routine days off". Rumors of a shoulder injury have swelled, but the team says he's fine. At least he back in for tonight's game. Adjust your lineups.
September 14, 2009
Ryan Braun is out of the Brewers' lineup for tonight's game at Chicago, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

September 7, 2009
Updating a previous report, Brewers' outfielder Ryan Braun is out of Monday's lineup with a sore shoulder. He is expected to be fine for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
Our View:
So Braun is injured, but it isn't anything serious. This probably amounts to just a routine day off, and Braun owners shouldn't be worried about him missing more time than today's game.
September 7, 2009
Ryan Braun is not in the Brewers' lineup for their Labor Day match-up with the Cardinals on Monday. Frank Catalanotto will man left field in Braun's absence.
Our View:
This looks like a routine day-off for Braun, as we haven't heard anything about an injury. Braun is having yet another phenomenal season, and he looks to be a fantasy force for years to come.
August 24, 2009
Ryan Braun went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer off Collin Balester in Monday's 7-1 win at Washington.

August 19, 2009
Ryan Braun drove in the only run for the Brewers on Wednesday as they fell to the Pirates 3-1. Braun went 1-for-3 in the game with an RBI single.
Our View:
The Brewers struggled to hit the ball tonight, and Braun's RBI was the only real piece of offense for the Crew tonight. Braun has been smoking hot in August, and fantasy owners should expect him to continue pounding the ball.
August 16, 2009

August 11, 2009
Ryan Braun went down meekly on Tuesday night, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, as his team got crushed 13-6 at home by the Padres.
Our View:
Braun is now just three for his last 15 with five strikeouts. After famously calling out his team's pitching staff earlier this season, he'll have to offer better efforts than this if the Brewers want to stop their free-fall.
August 9, 2009
Ryan Braun went 1-for-5 with a single in Sunday's 2-0 loss at Houston.
Our View:
The Brewers only mustered seven hits in the game. Braun managed to extend his hitting streak to seven games, and has 14 total hits over the span.
August 8, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-6 with a pair of RBI in the Brewers' 12-5 win over the Astros on Saturday.

August 4, 2009
Ryan Braun "tweaked" his elbow Monday night against the Dodgers making a throw, but expects to play Tuesday, according to MLBlogs.com.

August 4, 2009
Ryan Braun went 4-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored in tonight's 6-5 win at Los Angeles. He hit three singles and a three-run homer off Jeff Weaver.
Our View:
Braun crushed his team-leading 22nd homer of the season. He also continues to pace the Brewers with a .316 batting average, and the rising star should continue to perform up to high expectations for fantasy owners.
July 28, 2009
Ryan Braun did his part on Tuesday, but his Brewers fell again to the Nationals by a score of 8-3. Braun went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI in the loss.
Our View:
Braun has now homered four times in the last week, and it isn't his fault that the team is struggling. He now has 21 homers and he has the average up to .318, both more than solid for a top notch fantasy outfielder.
July 27, 2009
Ryan Braun went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in tonight's 14-6 loss to the Nationals at Miller Park. He hit a single, double and a solo homer off Craig Stammen.

July 22, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in the Brewers' 8-7 loss to the Pirates on Wednesday afternoon.
Our View:
Braun has slumped mightily in the month of July after posting over a .300 average in every other month this season. Before Wednesday's achievements he was hitting just .217 with one homer and three RBI in 69 at-bats this month.
July 20, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in tonight's 8-5 loss at Pittsburgh. He hit a single and a two-run homer off Jesse Chavez.
Our View:

July 19, 2009
Ryan Braun is back in the Brewers lineup on Sunday after sitting out with a sore wrist on Saturday.
Our View:
Braun has played well through many bumps and bruises in the past, and should be fine to reinsert into your starting lineup today.
July 18, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Ryan Braun is considered day-to-day after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist and right thumb in Friday's game, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
Braun is too sore to swing a bat right now, and will be re-evaluated Sunday. The rising star shall be held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.
July 18, 2009
Ryan Braun is out of the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game at Cincinnati after being struck on the left wrist and right thumb by the same pitch last night, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
It is uncertain how long Braun may be out. Frank Catalanotto will roam left field in his absence tonight.
July 7, 2009
Two days after calling out his GM and pitching staff, Ryan Braun looked overmatched against the Cardinals Adam Wainwirght on Tuesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts as the Brewers got shutout 5-0.
Our View:
For what it's worth, Braun did apologize before the game. All-in-all, he has to do no apologizing for his play in 2009, and has looked very much like the National League's top outfielder.
July 7, 2009
MLBlogs.com is reporting that Brewers' GM Doug Melvin decided to fire back at outfielder Ryan Braun on Monday one day after Braun commented that Melvin needed to make some changes with the team, specifically in the rotation. Melvin told the media on Monday that Braun's comments were "inappropriate" and "irresponsible", and he went on to say that he'd "be glad to have Ryan help if he wants to. I'll give him a badge and he can be my deputy."
Our View:
It is never good when your best player and your GM are having a war of words through the media, especially going into their biggest series of the season thus far against the Cardinals. Even though the deputy line by Melvin was pretty funny, he probably should have pulled Braun aside and talked to him instead of doing it through the media.
July 6, 2009
Ryan Braun has called on Brewers GM Doug Melvin to make changes, according to ESPN.
Our View:
He also appeared to call out his pitching staff. "No matter who is in there, we have to find a way to throw the ball better for us to have success," he said. "I think when you're constantly behind in games, it's not easy and it's not fun." Very tough remarks from a very young, albeit All-Star, player. Braun's home run totals are down from 2008, but overall he is having a big 2009 season.
July 1, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 on Wednesday, but like every other Brewer, failed to drive in any runs as the Crew lost 1-0 to the Mets.
Our View:
After his pseudo inside-the-park grand slam on Tuesday, Brewers fans can cut their star some slack for failing to drive anyone in.
June 26, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in tonight's 5-1 win over the Giants at Miller Park.
Our View:
Braun continues to hit well in June, as he carries a .330 batting average with seven homers and 21 RBI. He is playing up to high expectations as a top fantasy outfielder.
June 25, 2009
Ryan Braun hit his 16th home run of 2009 on Thursday, but the Brewers couldn't overcome a 4-0 Twins lead and lost 6-5 in Milwaukee.
Our View:
Braun is on pace to equal or surpass most of the career highs he set in 2008, and one of the game's premier fantasy outfielders.
June 24, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in tonight's 4-3 win over the Twins at Miller Park.
Our View:
Braun continues to pace the Brewers with a .319 batting average. He has six homers and 18 RBI so far in June as well.
June 20, 2009
Ryan Braun had a monster game on Saturday in the Brewers' 9-5 loss to the Tigers in Detroit. Braun went 4-for-5 with a home run, two runs, and two RBI in the loss.
Our View:
Braun launched a mammoth homer into the left field seats in the third inning, and he also managed to drive three other hits off of Tiger pitching. Braun is still an elite player as long as he is healthy, so owners need to hope his back holds up all season.
June 19, 2009
Ryan Braun will return to the diamond tonight at Detroit after exiting Wednesday's game with back tightness, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
The star outfielder should be safe to employ in fantasy lineups for tonight. Opposing hurler Armando Galarraga is 3-7 with a poor 5.56 ERA.
June 18, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting that Brewers' slugger Ryan Braun is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday after leaving Wednesday's game in the eighth inning due to back tightness. Brewers' assistant general manager Gord Ash told the paper that the team's head trainer said he "didn't think it was anything serious."
Our View:
Despite suffering from back pain nearly all season, Braun has managed to start all but three games for the team. It looks as if his removal last night was just precautionary, so he should be good to go tomorrow night when the team returns to action.
June 17, 2009
MLB.com reports that Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's game against Cleveland, but the slugger had to leave the game in the eighth inning due to a sore lower back. He appeared to have aggravated it while running the bases.
Our View:
Braun's back issues date back to last season, but he has still managed to start all but three games for Milwaukee. We expect he'll be able to play through this as well, but there's a chance it could be something more. Stay tuned.
June 15, 2009
Ryan Braun went 3-for-5 with five RBI and four runs scored in Monday's 14-12 win at Cleveland. He hit a single, triple and a two-run homer off Carl Pavano. He had eight total bases in the game.

June 11, 2009
Ryan Braun hit his 13th home run of the season on Thursday, a three-run shot in the ninth off of Rockies closer Huston Street, but the Brewers still fell 5-4.
Our View:
Braun continues to solidify himself as a premier fantasy outfielder in 2009. He should be a force as the season continues, and a top ten position player in next year's fantasy drafts.
June 7, 2009
Ryan Braun crushed two home runs and drove in four in the Brewers' 8-7 loss to the Braves on Sunday.
Our View:
Braun, who averaged over .315 for April and May, started slow in June, but Sunday's two jacks put him back on the fantasy map this month. He now has 12 homers on the season to go with his .310 average and 38 RBI.
June 3, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in Milwaukee's 9-6 win over Florida on Wednesday.

June 2, 2009
Ryan Braun went 1-for-3 with a single in Tuesday's 10-1 loss at Florida.
Our View:
The Brewers only mustered four hits in the game, all singles. Braun looks to be fine after exiting Monday's game in the sixth inning.
June 2, 2009
According to Brewers manager Ken Macha, Ryan Braun's departure from Monday night's game in the sixth inning was nothing more than a routine double switch, MLB.com is reporting.
Our View:
Whenever Braun leaves a game, it is rarely part of a routine double switch, and TV cameras caught him appearing to display leg or foot pain after fouling a ball off his foot in the sixth inning. Still, Braun has played through many injuries before, and he will more than likely play Tuesday. He is a safe start unless otherwise noted.
June 1, 2009
Ryan Braun exited Monday's battle with Florida in the sixth inning, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:

May 27, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Ryan Braun is in today's lineup in left field against the Cardinals, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:

May 27, 2009
Ryan Braun exited Tuesday's battle with the Cardinals after being struck on the right wrist by a pitch, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Frank Catalanotto replaced him in the lineup. He did not appear to be seriously hurt, but the elite outfielder's status is yet to be updated.
May 18, 2009
Ryan Braun was 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, an RBI, and four runs scored as the Brewers defeated the Cardinals 8-4 on Monday. The left fielder also made a couple of exceptional defensive plays to help prevent St. Louis from coming back in the game.
Our View:
There's no doubt that Braun is developing into one of the premier hitters in the game, but it should be pointed out that he has not made a single error since being moved from third base to left field.
May 11, 2009
Ryan Braun has been named the NL Player of the Week, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He earned the honor by leading the league with 12 RBI last week. He also hit .458 over seven games with three homers.
Our View:
Braun is playing up to high expectations as a No. 1 fantasy outfielder, as he is hitting .348 for the season, with eight homers and 28 RBI.
May 9, 2009
Ryan Braun homered again on Saturday as the Brewers thrashed the Cubs 12-6. Braun was 2-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base.
Our View:
Braun can do it all, and he showed that on Saturday. He now has eight homers and 28 RBI to go along with his .349 average. He is a must start in all fantasy formats.
May 8, 2009
Ryan Braun was 2-for-3 with a game winning, eighth-inning two-run homer on Friday. His blast sunk the Cubs and the Brewers jumped to a 3-2 win.
Our View:

May 6, 2009
Ryan Braun was 3-for-6 with a grand slam, six RBI, and two runs scored as the Brewers crushed the Reds 15-3 on Wednesday.
Our View:
Braun had missed a few starts due to a sore back, but he looked just fine at the dish tonight. Braun has seven multi-RBI games this season compared to just three single RBI nights.
May 5, 2009
Ryan Braun is back in the lineup Tuesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He has been dealing with a back issue but did have a two-RBI double as a pinch hitter last night.
Our View:
Brauen recently had an MRI on the back that showed nothing. Hopefully that issue is behind him.
May 4, 2009
MLB.com reports that Ryan Braun stayed in Milwaukee on Monday to get an MRI on his back while the rest of his team went to Pittsburgh. The MRI did not reveal any structural damage or offer any explanation for his lingering soreness. He will be out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Monday.
Our View:
Braun played the final two months of last season with pain in his lower back, but the current pain is in his upper back. He has hit well to start the season, but there is a lot of baseball to be played yet and owners have to be concerned if the back continues to keep him out of the lineup.
May 3, 2009
Ryan Braun is not in the lineup on Sunday for the second straight day, reports MLB.com. Braun has been dealng wth a stiff upper-back.
Our View:
This injury is not considered serious, but any injury to a player like Braun is a concern. Nothing to panic about yet, but Braun owners need to monitor this situation.
April 28, 2009
Ryan Braun was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Brewers defeated the Pirates 6-5 on Tuesday night.
Our View:
Braun continues to deliver this season, even though his teammates have yet to pick up the slack. He's pretty much carrying the Brewers offensively right now, hitting .351 with five jacks and 16 RBI and fantasy owners don't have much to complain about. Now Prince Fielder owners? That's a different story.
April 27, 2009
Ryan Braun was 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks, two runs scored, and an RBI in Milwaukee's 10-5 on Monday.
Our View:
Braun has been consistently raking all season but the hitters around him have not been able to get it going, which has limited his overall numbers. The rest of the Brewers offense will come around, and we just hope Braun is still on when they do.
April 25, 2009
Ryan Braun has mashed the ball of late with 12 hits in his last 25 ABs (.480) thanks to finding his rhythm at the dish, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
This hot streak has elevated Braun's numbers to .328/.451/.586 as he has hit four home runs while producing 12 RBI in 16 games. It appears that concerns over his side injury can be forgotten for the moment.
April 21, 2009
Ryan Braun went 5-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, and two runs scored in the Brewers 11-4 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.
Our View:
Braun has not gotten off to the start he had hoped for, but he made up for a lot of that tonight. In one game, his average went from .222 to .300. Fantasy owners take note: it is still very, very early in the season.
April 18, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 1-0 loss at the Mets. Both of his knocks were singles.
Our View:

April 17, 2009
Outfielder Ryan Braun socked a three-run homer in Friday's loss to the Mets. It was his first long ball of the season.
Our View:
The stud slugger dealt with oblique and thumb injuries this spring, and it wasn't surprising to see him start slowly. Hopefully this long ball begins a hot streak.
April 1, 2009
MLB.com reports that Ryan Braun's thumb is fine after being struck in the hand by a line drive that he lost in the lights during Tuesday's game. X-rays were negative and he is considered day-to-day with the bruised thumb. He is also suffering from a strained muscle in his rib cage.
Our View:
Braun has had a rocky spring littered with injury concerns, but the outfielder still should be ready come opening day. Assuming he is healthy, he should once again be among the most valuable fantasy commodities at his position.
March 31, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ryan Braun left Tuesday's game in the second inning and did not return. He lost a ball in the lights and it struck him on the thumb. He was taken to the hospital for x-rays.
Our View:
This isn't good news. Apparently Braun wasn't feeling optimistic about how the x-rays were going to turn out. A broken thumb could sideline him for a while. And he was just starting to feel better with the strained side injury. Ryan Braun owners: Be afraid. Be very afraid. We'll update this story once the x-ray results are released.
March 30, 2009
Ryan Braun played six innings in left field and batted third for the Brewers in their win over the Mariners on Monday, according to MLB.com. He had been limited over the previous week due to a rib injury, but he feels that he is ready to begin the season. He was 0-for-3 a day after hitting a home run off of Brian Fuentes in a minor league game.
Our View:
He will play again on Tuesday and should be available throughout the entire week. The muscle is still a little tight, but he seems to be dealing with it. Keep an eye on his notes for the remainder of the week as any setback would be a red flag.
March 30, 2009
Ryan Braun has been cleared to rejoin the Brewers' lineup, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He has been dealing with intercostal tightness and he said, "I am ready. It is definitely better. I am working through it."
Our View:
The tightness has not completely gone away, but Braun believes it is manageable and is hoping it does not get worse. It sounds like he should be ready for opening day, barring a setback.
March 27, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ryan Braun will test out his injured side in a minor league contest on Saturday.
Our View:
Saturday should be a good test to see if Braun is starting to recover, or if this is going to be a nagging injury that plagues him this season. He still has not been ruled out for Opening Day.
March 26, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ryan Braun underwent an MRI on his injured side and no structural damage was found. He is currently listed as day-to-day.
Our View:
Braun has been complaining of a sore side for about the last two weeks and apparently the team thought it was a big enough deal to schedule an MRI. He likely won't play again until he is medically cleared, but this doesn't look like it will cause him to miss the start of the season.
March 25, 2009
Ryan Braun left Wednesday's game with right side stiffness, according to MLB.com. The injury is a nagging issue that he has been dealing with over the last ten days.
Our View:
It does not appear that this will be an injury of concern and should be fine for the start of the season. Lock him in as a top-5 fantasy outfielder for sure.
March 25, 2009
Ryan Braun returned to the diamond after missing time to nurse his strained intercostal muscle, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
He noted that he is not 100 percent, but is good. Braun should remain ranked as a top-5 fantasy outfielder.
March 16, 2009
GM Doug Melvin is concerned that Ryan Braun may be dealing with the same ribcage/intercostal injury that bothered him for most of the 2008 campaign, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Braun exited Sunday's game with Team USA in the WBC for precautionary reasons.
Our View:
We will keep you posted on Braun's status. If healthy, Braun is a top-5 fantasy outfielder.
March 11, 2009
Ryan Braun was 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI as USA lost 5-3 to Venezuela on Wednesday. He is hitting .400 in the WBC.
Our View:
Braun is just 25 and it is entirely possible that he improves upon his 37 home runs and 106 RBI from a season ago.
February 28, 2009
Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs, and one RBI in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Angels.
Our View:
Braun is batting .333 so far this spring, so Team USA will hope he remains hot when the World Baseball Classic commences next week.
