Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun, who missed six games before the All-Star break (and did not play in the All-Star Game either) with a left calf injury, left Saturday night’s game at Colorado with tightness in that same calf, according to MLB.com.
Ryan Braun Injury: Brewers Left Fielder Again Leaves Game With Calf Tightness
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke doesn’t seem too concerned:
“His leg just never loosened up much,” Roenicke said. “It just stayed sore on him, and instead of pushing him and keeping him out there, we decided it was better to get him out.”
However, Braun said the calf has never quite gotten back to normal since the injury first happened:
“I can’t run yet, to be honest with you,” he said. “I can’t run yet at all. I’m unable to run, so I just jog as quickly as I can whenever the situation warrants it. Whenever I can avoid running or putting any extra stress on it, I think that’s in my best interest and the team’s best interest.”
It’s still uncertain whether Braun will be able to play in Sunday’s game against the Rockies.
