Milwaukee Brewers LF Ryan Braun returns to DL with calf injury

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.

"Same calf, same situation," Braun told reporters after the contest. "I knew when I came back that I wasn't at 100 percent, but it was good enough that I was optimistic I'd be able to work through it. It just kind of grabbed on me when I ran to catch that popup."

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.

Braun is batting .262 with seven homers and 19 RBIs.

Milwaukee activated right-hander Junior Guerra from the 10-day disabled list to fill the roster opening. Guerra, who is returning from his own calf issues, was slated to start Friday's game.
