    The injury-riddled Milwaukee Brewers got Ryan Braun back on Monday after the slugger missed three games due to spasms on the right side of his neck.

    Milwaukee waited to finalize its starters until Braun got a chance to take batting practice before the series opener at the Chicago Cubs. The 2011 NL MVP looked just fine in the cage, so Milwaukee put him back in left field and in his usual No. 3 spot in the batting order.

    Braun received a round of boos when he came to the plate in the first inning at Wrigley Field.

    While Braun returned to the lineup, shortstop Jean Segura was out with a bruised left quadriceps. Milwaukee also is missing third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who went on the disabled list Saturday with a sprained left knee, and first baseman Corey Hart, expected to miss the first month of the season recovering from right knee surgery.
