Braun to play in minors game on Saturday

Ryan Braun took batting practice Friday and is set to test his sore right intercostal muscle in a minor league game Saturday.

"He'll play under controlled conditions and we'll have an assessment made and proceed from there," said manager Ken Macha. Braun has been out since Wednesday. He isn't in danger of missing Opening Day just yet, but this will be a situation worth monitoring up until the start of the season.
