The Brewers have placed Ryan Braun on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 30, the club announced. He’s dealing with an infection in his right index finger. Milwaukee didn’t provide a timetable for his return.
The 36-year-old has only gotten into four games to this point, starting three at designated hitter. He’s coming off a productive 2019 effort (.285/.343/.505 in 508 plate appearances) and figures to reemerge as a middle-of-the-order bat for manager Craig Counsell upon his return to health.
The Brewers have not yet made a decision as to who will replace him on the 30-man active roster. Between Justin Smoak, Logan Morrison, Jedd Gyorko, Christian Yelich and Avisaíl García, they have a fair number of options to rotate through the first base/corner outfield/DH mix while Braun is out.
How do you get an index finger infection?
He has some of the craziest injuries
probably sabotage
Evan Longoria had one years ago when he had a finger surgery didn’t he?
Sticking his finger where the sun dont shine
Will he be using some special medicines to rehab this injury?
KY Jelly
Mookie must of heard Braun went on IL with sore finger. Now it makes sense why he left his game.
secret covid infection. Happening all over MLB
The Brewers have not played for 4 days–how is this possible???
Its an infection. People still exist and life their lives when they’re not playing baseball.
When the White Sox are done with the Brew Crew, Milwaukee will wish they had another week off!
Here comes another Sox sweep!!
That diabolical specimen collector strikes again.
Damn he got covid in his finger. Should have wore gloves or some facial covering.
Brett Favre played with a broken thumb one year. At QB. In the NFL. And thumb broken was on his throwing hand! Braun doesn’t really match up with the “‘Ol Gunslinger” or any of the tough guys in sports.
depending on how serious this is with Cain opting out would cling Frazier be a good trade candidate? to be honest I’d rather Frazier than Gardner but isk if the Yankees front office will ever do that
