Infirmary updates

Mar/21/08 07:59 AM Filed in: Ryan Braun
Leftfielder Ryan Braun was back in the lineup after being scratched from two of his last three starts because of stiffness in his right Achilles' tendon. Yost said he would have scratched Braun again if he experienced any discomfort during batting practice.

The staff thought the stiffness was caused by new spikes Braun wore in the outfield with a soft heel that created a strain on his Achilles' tendon. He had worn molded or plastic cleats in the infield since high school.
