Braun scratched from lineup

Peoria, Ariz. - Ryan Braun was scratched from the Brewers' lineup today with "right Achilles tightness," the second time in five days he was removed for that same problem.

Braun now will have played just once in the last five games. He was scratched last Wednesday, did not play Thursday, did play Friday, did not play Saturday and now has been scratched today.

We have been told that the situation is not serious, that it has been more precautionary than anything. But you do have to wonder if this is going to be a lingering thing for Braun. We'll get more details on the situation and post them later.
