The Milwaukee Brewers’ best chance at success in Tuesday’s winner-take-all Wild Card game comes with every player possible healthy. That includes outfielders Ryan Braun, who left Friday’s game with a strained left calf muscle, and Lorenzo Cain, who suffered a sprained ankle during Saturday’s game after a late-inning collision at home plate.
Both players were unavailable for Sunday’s season finale, which was notable considering at the start of the day the team still had a chance to tie for the division lead. After the game, manager Craig Counsell released some encouraging news, per MLB.
