Herrera feels lucky day after ugly collision

Herrera considered himself lucky that he suffered only a deep thigh bruise. He was still in significant pain Sunday, moving slowly in the clubhouse with a crutch, and the Brewers expect to be without his services for a few days at least.

The teammate with whom Herrera collided, outfielder Shane Peterson, was in better shape. He suffered a bruised right knee on the play but was not even limping on Sunday. More sore was Peterson's right wrist, which was lacerated by Herrera's cleats on the play. Peterson said he was available for pinch-hit duty. So, too, was left fielder Khris Davis, who'd just exited in the same inning after rolling his right ankle.
