Braun's return doesn't seem imminent after working out yesterday. Wonder if it might be best just to 10 day DL him and give either Brinson or Phillips a week or so to get their feet wet up here until Braun is fully healthy. Unfortunately he did come in for a single pinch hit on May 2nd so that is as far as we could retroactively DL him.
I'm not sure that's true about the PTBNL. I know they didn't think selecting a PTBNL would be a problem, but I don't know that that necessarily indicates it's a quality prospect. If it ends up being a top 25 organizational prospect for us I'll be happy.
Even though that one didn't fall in you can tell Broxton is really seeing it much better. Coming into that AB he was already up to a .718 OPS which is perfectly fine for a top notch glove in center even if he stayed at this season pace.
Don't know when else they can squeeze it in. The only other visit to St. Louis is the last series of the year, with no day off before. Maybe they could stick a doubleheader sometime in the June series. Kind of makes it all the more important to get tonight's game in if possible.
I would guess yesterday's game will be made up on Monday June 12th which is a mutual day off for both teams right before a 3 game series at St Louis. I'm sure they want to avoid having to make up 2 games if possible.
