Nats' Harper on DL with thumb sprain
Star outfielder Bryce Harper was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Washington Nationals with a sprained left thumb. The move is retroactive to Saturday.
Harper hurt his hand with a headfirst slide into third base Friday night after hitting a third-inning, bases-loaded triple in Washington's 11-1 victory. He stayed in the game for an inning before he was replaced.
Harper will fly to Cleveland on Monday to see hand specialist Thomas Graham for a second opinion.
Braun, Segura sit for Brewers
Outfielder Ryan Braun and shortstop Jean Segura were out of the Milwaukee lineup a day after they were injured.
Braun left Saturday's 5-3 win over the Cubs after the eighth inning with a slight chest muscle strain. Braun was also involved with Segura's injury. The slugging outfielder was swinging his bat on the dugout steps in the first inning when he accidentally hit Segura in the face as the shortstop was coming up behind him.
Segura had a partially closed right eye and bruised right cheek.
Manager Ron Roenicke was unsure how long either player might be out, though he didn't expect it to be long.

Miller got two outs in Friday night's game against Minnesota, then was sent to Toledo.
