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.
