Brewers place 3B Ramirez on DL

The Milwaukee Brewers announced Saturday that they placed third baseman Aramis Ramirez on the 15-day disabled list with a left knee sprain.

Josh Prince was called up from Class AAA Nashville fill Ramirez's spot on the 25-man roster.

Ramirez, 34, aggravated the knee while running the bases during Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. An MRI taken after the game confirmed the injury.

Ramirez was 5 for 13 with three doubles in four games before getting hurt.

Prince, 25, hit .251 with seven home runs in 137 Class AA games last season. He played in two games for Nashville before getting recalled. Prince has not appeared in a major league game.
