Khris Davis recently received a death threat via Twitter.

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said the threat was turned over to Major League Baseball security. He said the team was told the situation had been "handled."

Davis says he got the threat in mid-May when the Brewers were in Chicago to play the Cubs. He referred to the matter as a "distraction."

The 26-year-old is hitting .244/.283/.467 in 47 games this season.

Ron Roenicke came to Ryan Braun's defense Sunday after a baserunning blunder cost the Milwaukee Brewers a run in a narrow loss to the Miami Marlins the day before.

Carlos Gomez was thrown out at third base trying to advance from first on a single for the final out of the sixth inning, which prevented Braun from scoring from second on the play.

Braun was several feet from crossing the plate when Gomez was tagged out. After the game, Gomez said Braun should have run harder and scored.

"I saw the replays, and Braun wasn't going to score," Roenicke said. "If he goes 100 percent, it's probably going to be a little closer at home plate, but he was still quite a ways away."

Ryan Braun left Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the fifth inning with tightness in his right side.

Braun returned to the Milwaukee Brewers last week from a stint on the 15-day disabled list with a right oblique strain.

He is hitting .289 overall with seven homers and 19 RBIs.

Baseball America released their list of the top 100 draft prospects on Wednesday as the 2014 First-Year Player Draft approaches.

Brady Aiken, a left-handed high school pitcher from California, is ranked first on the list.

Five of the top six players are pitchers. Three of those five are college pitchers.

A trade market may begin to develop for Rickie Weeks, who is sharing time at second base for the Milwaukee Brewers with Scooter Gennett.

Weeks is making $11 million in the final year of his contract.

He looks better offensively this season, hitting .318 with a .739 OPS in 48 plate appearances.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles appear to be the best fits for the infielder.

A Milwaukee Brewers fan approached Derek Jeter on the field during Friday night's game.

The fan jumped out of the left-field stands and walked toward Jeter's spot at shortstop while the Brewers were batting against the New York Yankees in the sixth inning.

Jeter didn't appear to notice until the fan was within an arm's length or so. He calmly took a few steps away as several security guards rushed in to tackle the person.

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun should be ready to return from a right oblique strain in time for next week's series against the Pirates, according to an ESPN.com report.

Braun took batting practice before the team's game Wednesday afternoon against Arizona. Manager Ron Roenicke says Braun should be ready when eligible to play his next game, Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

The Reds activated Skip Schumaker off the DL on Saturday before the third game of their series against the Brewers, according to an ESPN.com report.

Cincinnati signed Schumaker to a $5M two-year deal last November to bolster its bench.

Outfielder Roger Bernadina was designated for assignment to the minors to open a roster spot.  

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday morning with a right oblique strain.

The move is retroactive to April 27. He is eligible to come off the DL on May 12, according to an ESPN.com report.

Matt Garza left his start against the St. Louis Cardinals in the fourth inning Wednesday because of a bruised right thumb.

Wei-Chung Wang replaced Garza.

The Milwaukee Brewers said Garza is day to day. He said after the game there was no doubt he'd be ready for his next start.

"I'm going to make sure I'm OK by then," Garza said. "I'm not here to skip a start, I'm prepared to pitch. I want to get right back out there."
