Brewers give Braun another day off
Mark it down as another mysterious off-day for Brewers slugger Ryan Braun. Coming off a 4-for-14 series in Arizona in which he became the sixth player in history to hit 100 homers in his first three seasons, Braun was out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener at Wrigley Field. It was Braun’s third day off in eight days, counting the team’s open date on Thursday, but neither Braun nor manager Ken Macha offered much in the way of an explanation.
“Just a day off,” Macha insisted.
“Not playing,” Braun said. “That’s all I’ve got.”
And that’s all he would say, until he passed through the clubhouse a few minutes later.
“I don’t mean to be a jerk. I just don’t know what to say,” Braun said, throwing his hands in the air. “Who knows?”
When Braun was on the bench for the Brewers’ Sept. 7 game against Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals — in which Carpenter went on to pitch a one-hit shutout — Macha mentioned that Braun was getting treatment for a sore shoulder. Braun does get treatment on his right shoulder, but he has refused to acknowledge any physical ailments. He stood by that stance on Monday.

Fielder enters books with Cooper in win
It was a weekend of personal milestones for the Brewers, topped on Sunday by first baseman Prince Fielder, who homered to drive in his 126th run of the season, tying Cecil Cooper for the single-season franchise record.
The fourth-inning shot to left — the opposite field for the lefty swinger — accounted for his club’s first run in a 5-3 victory over the D-backs at Chase Field.
“I’ve never thought about [the record] until now,” said Fielder, who also opened the Brewers’ four-run seventh with a single. “It’s really an honor to be mentioned with a guy like Cecil. He was a great first baseman, so it really is something special. This organization has had a lot of great players, so it’s really a big deal. It’s pretty cool.”

DiFelice’s MRI reveals good news
Brewers reliever Mark DiFelice appears to have dodged a major bullet on Monday, when he traveled back to Milwaukee for an MRI scan that revealed only wear and tear in his aching right shoulder.
That qualified as good news for DiFelice, who underwent major surgery following the 2001 season to repair a SLAP tear to the labrum in his shoulder and needed 2 1/2 years to feel 100 percent healthy again. DiFelice worried that he might have suffered a similar injury on Sunday, when he felt pain in the joint and left the Brewers’ game in Arizona.
Instead, DiFelice will be shut down for at least four days before he’s evaluated again. Brewers manager Ken Macha said he might have additional information about the plan for DiFelice on Tuesday, but surgery doesn’t appear to be looming.
