Ryan Braun Is ‘Fine’ After Leaving Game With Rib Injury

But, now there’s good news. According to Michael Hunt:

Braun injured his left side while fielding balls during batting practice. While chasing after a fly, Braun hit the wall with his right side and landed on his left side. He decided to test it out and see if he could play, but after going after a foul ball he figured it didn’t feel right, so he came out. More precautionary than anything else.

This could end up being pretty minor. What’s concerning is that Braun has struggled with intercostal strains in the past, and it’s never good when an injury has a precedent. These things can linger and you have to take great care to make sure they’re healed completely before testing them out again after a strain.

So, we’ll see. The Brewers will hope that Braun is okay, but there’s a chance this could put his Opening Day status in jeopardy. For more, be sure to check out Brew Crew Ball.
