Ryan Braun went 3-for-6 with two doubles as the Brewers lost to the Pirates in extra innings on Tuesday.
Braun sat out Monday's game with neck tightness, an issue that has plagued him off and on through the early part of the season, but he was back in the lineup producing on Tuesday. The neck issue is something he may continue to deal with as the season progresses, but he's been able to play through it for the most part thus far. It's something to monitor, but it's no reason to downgrade Braun for the time being. May 15 - 12:38 AM

Ryan Braun is not in Monday's lineup because he's having more problems with his neck.

The good news is that he's not expected to miss multiple games and could be available to pinch-hit Monday. The bad news, of course, is that he's still having issues with his neck over a month after originally suffering the ailment. "Wasn’t a swing," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said when asked how Braun aggravated the injury. "I don’t know if it was sleeping. But he woke up with it stiffer again and fought pretty good for a couple days. Maybe getting a little bit better from it, but we want to get rid of it and make sure we get the guy back in the No. 3 slot that we need to have."

Ryan Braun launched his eighth home run in Friday's loss to the Reds.

Jean Segura and Braun went back-to-back in the fourth inning against rookie Tony Cingrani. It ended a pretty long drought for Braun, who hadn't homered since April 26. Still, he has hit safely in in 11 straight games, so it's tough for fantasy owners to complain.

Ryan Braun clubbed a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Cubs.

It was the big blow in a four-run first inning off Jeff Samardzija. Braun has now homered in back-to-back games, so perhaps he's busting out of his recent mini-slump.

Ryan Braun slugged his third home run of the season on Thursday as the Brewers defeated the Giants.

The first-inning home run snapped a mini slump for Braun. He boasts a cool .275/.396/.575 batting line, three home runs and 10 RBI through 11 games this season. The 29-year-old should again challenge for the NL MVP.

Ryan Braun said his neck is no longer an issue.

Braun entered Wednesday's game with just one hit in his last 18 at-bats while striking out 10 times over that stretch. It prompted concerns about a neck injury that cropped up earlier in the month, but the outfielder insists his swing is just out of whack right now. "My neck is fine now," he said. "It was [messed] up for a while. The first couple of games in St. Louis I'm sure it didn't help, but it's not an issue now. Nothing is physical. I'm fine. My swing just [stinks] sometimes."

Ryan Braun went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the Brewers' win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Braun has just one hit in his last 18 at-bats and has struck out 10 times in those 18 appearances. It came out last week that Braun's neck may still be affecting him, and that would go a long way toward explaining his recent struggles. Despite his slump, Braun should still be trusted in all leagues until further notice.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that Ryan Braun's neck is "still bothering him some."

Braun has played the last four games after missing three contests with a neck ailment, but he's gone 0-for-7 while striking out six times over the last two days against the Cardinals. "(Braun's) neck is still bothering him some," Roenicke said. "He's not 100%. You can see some of his swings aren't his usual self." At this point, it doesn't appear that the disabled list is under consideration for the outfielder, but things might be different if the Brewers weren't already so undermanned.

Ryan Braun went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Monday's win over the Cubs.

After missing the last three games with a neck injury, Braun didn't show any lingering effects in his return to the lineup. He absolutely crushed an Edwin Jackson fastball in the second inning for an RBI double and added another one late off Carlos Marmol. The Brewers need Braun to stay healthy this season. They're a drastically different team without him.

Ryan Braun (neck) returned to the Brewers' lineup Monday against the Cubs.

Braun had been sidelined the last three games with a pretty severe case of neck spasms. He made it through batting practice Monday without any issues, so the injury appears to be behind him at this point. Braun is batting .400 (4-for-10) in three games this season.

Ryan Braun (neck) remained out of the Brewers' lineup Sunday.

Braun is dealing with a pretty severe case of neck spasms and has now missed all three starts of the series against the Diamondbacks. A trip to the disabled list seems unlikely, but it's not clear when he'll return to action. Logan Schafer is starting in left field in his place.

According to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, outfielder Ryan Braun (neck) "can't move his head at all."

Braun was scratched Friday with neck spasms and wasn't feeling any better on Saturday. The Brewers expect him to avoid a stint on the 15-day disabled list, but the 29-year-old slugger could be out for a few more days.
