Ryan Braun is hitting in the designated hitter spot in Friday's game versus the Red Sox because he's having problems with his right thumb again.
Uh oh. Braun's thumb first started bothering him in May of last season, but he dealt with it for a couple weeks before finally going on the disabled list. He admitted Friday that the thumb is numb due to a nerve issue, which has led to blisters because he can't tell how hard he's gripping the ball. He could undergo surgery, but there's no guarantee it will work so he's not even considering it as an option at this time. Braun will attempt to play through the ailment for now, but he tried to do that last year and it became problematic. The outfielder hit just .259/.302/.328 with no homers and two doubles in 17 games after being diagnosed with the ailment. Needless to say, it's really crummy news for fantasy owners that used a first-round pick on Braun this spring.

Really dumb play and review in ATL today. Desmond hit one into the corner. The ball came to rest up against the LF wall, in a gap between the ground and the padding. The ball was sitting on the ground, plainly visible, and not stuck. Justin Upton didn't even try to get the ball, he just threw his arms up in the air, while Desmond rounded the bases and scored. On review, the umps reversed and called it a ground rule double. Really dumb reversal.
