8 Ryan Braun, LF

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun visited Dr. Don Sheridan in Phoenix, Ariz. for a second opinion on his injured right thumb, MLB.com reports.

Braun, who is on the disabled list for the first time in his career, is expected to rejoin the team on Wednesday. He has been shut down from baseball activities since landing on the DL June 14. He is eligible to be activated from the disabled list as early as June 25.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Saturday that disabled outfielder Ryan Braun is expected to be shut down from baseball activities for at least the next week, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Braun has a thumb contusion/hand injury. 

"If it gets better, he'll start swinging again and then take BP," Roenicke said. "Maybe when he comes off it will go away. If not, he'll have to play and fight through it."

The Brewers have officially placed outfielder Ryan Braun on the 15-day disabled list following Friday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.
