Middlebrooks, who left Sunday's game with a lower right leg strain, has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Middlebrooks, who hit well in his time at Triple-A Colorado Springs, has struggled in his limited work with the Brewers this season. It's unclear how much time the 27-year-old third baseman will miss, but he will have to play well and prove he's fully healthy in his rehab appearances to steal time away from Hernan Perez, who has been playing really well at the hot corner for Milwaukee.
