What It Means:

The calf injury is nothing new, as Braun just returned Sunday from a brief disabled list stint before aggravating the issue Thursday. Hernan Perez projects to take over as an everyday starter in the outfield for Milwaukee while Braun is out. There's no clear timetable for his return at this time but expect the Brewers to play things more conservative this time.

Braun has been limited to 29 games and 117 plate appearances this season due to injuries. He is batting .262 with a .369 wOBA and seven home runs.
