May 26 (The Sports Xchange) - Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan
Braun was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday, just five days
after being activated.
Braun re-injured his left calf during Thursday's loss to the Arizona
Diamondbacks. He was on the DL for an injury to the same calf before
being activated on Sunday. The injury occurred as Braun chased down
a high fly ball in the third inning.
Braun played in just three games -- going 0-for-9 at the plate --
during his brief return from the DL. Brewers manager Craig Counsell
rested him Wednesday prior to Thursday's injury.
Milwaukee activated right-hander Junior Guerra from the 10-day
disabled list to fill the roster opening.

hamstring.

The Cleveland Indians will unveil the Frank Robinson statue in
Heritage Park at Progressive Field on Saturday, commemorating his
career as one of baseball's pioneers.
Robinson, now 81, became the first African-American manager in major
league history on April 8, 1975, as a player-manager for the
Indians. He served two years in that capacity and as the Indians'
manager alone in 1977.
Robinson played 21 seasons in the majors for the Cincinnati Reds,
Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, Angels and Indians. He hit
586 home runs -- 10th all-time -- and was inducted into the Baseball
Hall of Fame in 1982. (Editing by Andrew Both)
