Brewers place Braun on disabled list with calf strain

The Milwaukee Brewers have placed outfielder Ryan Braun on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left calf, the team announced Friday.

In a corresponding move, infielder Eric Sogard was called up from Triple-A.

Braun recently returned to the lineup after sitting out five games with an assortment of ailments. After admitting he had a variety of arm-related issues, he underwent an MRI on May 5 which came back clean.

The banged up 33-year-old's latest injury, though, was deemed serious enough for a stint on the DL.

It's unfortunate news for the Brewers, as Braun has been, as per usual, a steady contributor early this year, hitting .287/.374/.574 with seven home runs and 18 RBIs.
