The Brewers' longtime outfield slugger and the most experienced veteran on the team is going to rest a calf injury for at least 10 days.
As first reported by Journal Sentinel beat writer and 620 WTMJ Brewers 360 contributor Tom Haudricourt, the Brewers have sent Braun to the disabled list today. The team confirmed the placement to the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to Thursday.
Infielder Eric Sogard will be moved up to the major league club from AAA Colorado Springs.
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Thursday after the team's loss to Boston that Braun is battling a calf strain.
Braun later said he has had an MRI on the calf, and that he is struggling to do key outfield duties like throw long distances or run.
