Brewers place Braun on DL with calf strain

After undergoing an MRI on Thursday that revealed a left calf strain, Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun has been placed on the 10-day disabled list (retroactive to Thursday). Milwaukee announced it selected the contract of infielder Eric Sogard from Triple-A Colorado Springs in a corresponding move.

The Brewers were considering a few different options for Braun, but ultimately decided the DL would allow for the smoothest recovery possible for the six-time All-Star, who also underwent an MRI last weekend for a flexor muscle strain in his right elbow.

Braun, who missed last week with the elbow injury, returned to the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday and Wednesday's games against the Red Sox, but appeared to be limited.
