Ryan Braun out of Brewers’ lineup today after aggravating season-long groin
injury
Ryan Braun left last night’s game after aggravating a lingering groin injury
and as expected he’s not in the Brewers’ lineup for today’s game.
Milwaukee has Thursday off, so this gives Braun some extra rest before
potentially rejoining the lineup Friday in Cincinnati for what’s the start
of 12 games in 12 days.
Of course, he’s no sure thing to be ready by then. Adam McCalvy of MLB.com
reports that Braun “has been receiving treatment for that ailment since it
sidelined him a couple of games in spring training.”
Braun explained that he’s “had it all year, off and on” and “I try to
manage as best I can.”
Braun started 84 of the Brewers’ first 90 games, hitting .309 with a .394
on-base percentage and .608 slugging percentage to nearly duplicate his
MVP-winning .397 on-base percentage and .597 slugging percentage from last
season.
