Braun played in four of Milwaukee’s first four games, going 3-for-13 with a pair of RBI.
After a weekend series against St. Louis was postponed due to an outbreak of COVID-19 in the Cardinals organization, the Brewers are slated to open a three-game set with the Chicago White Sox on Monday at Miller Park.
