MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is scheduled to have surgery this week to fix a nagging nerve problem near his right thumb.

productive full seasons of his career. He went hitless in three at-bats in
Sundays 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs to finish the year hitting .266 with 19
homers and 81 RBIs in 580 plate appearances.Braun said Sunday the rare procedure
involved going into the thumb and freezing the nerve. The problem, which carried
over from the 2013 season, affected his swing.Brauns subpar production was one
key reason the Brewers were 9-22 down the stretch to get eliminated from the
post-season after spending five months atop the National League Central.If I was
relatively healthy, if I was performing up to the standard I set for myself that
wed be in a different place as a team. It makes it that much more difficult for
me personally to accept the way the season went, Braun said.Neither Braun nor
manager Ron Roenicke knew much about the specifics of the procedure or recovery
time. But Braun remained hopeful it would finally fix a lingering issue.The
whole reason we hadnt done it sooner was because there isnt a lot of experience
in doing this specific surgery that Im getting done, he said.The 2011 NL MVP
missed the final 65 games of last season after being suspended as part of the
Biogeneis doping scandal.But the extra time off didnt help. The career .307
hitter was at .301 on July 26 but tailed off the last two months of the season.I
dont think we were that far off. If we get back to that, we still have a really
nice player, Roenicke said before Sundays loss. But we do need to get back to
that. ... I think he feels like if he can get this thumb issue behind him, he
can be that same player again.Braun will certainly be back. Its unclear how much
of a housecleaning there might be in the off-season though after the late-season
swoon.Its been a hard year. It has. Its been the hardest since Ive been here,
said fourth-year manager Roenicke.Milwaukee finished in third place in the
division at 82-80, out of the playoffs for the third straight year.On Sunday,
Anthony Rizzo had a two-run homer among his three hits to lead the Cubs. Rizzo
went deep to centre off Mike Fiers (6-5) in the first.Jacob Turner (6-11)
allowed four hits and two runs in five-plus innings. He beat Milwaukee for the
second time since being traded from Miami in August.The Cubs are building for
the future with Rizzo and rookie right-handed hitters Javier Baez and Jorge
Soler. Chicago was 31-28 since July 28.Theres always optimism and now you can
see it around everywhere. We each got to keep the course, though, Rizzo said.THE
.300 MANAll-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy, playing first base, went 2 for 4 to
finish the year hitting .300. Roenicke started him at first in the finale hoping
he could reach the .300 plateau. Lucroy over the weekend set the single-season
record for most doubles by a catcher with 46.I mean its great and dandy but for
me it doesnt really matter right now, Lucroy said, because Im still going to go
home and be (mad) for a month until I calm a little bit from the way its been
the past month.BREWER FINALE?Second baseman Rickie Weeks didnt play in what may
well have been his last game with the Brewers, who are unlikely to pick up his
option next year. The right-hander spent the season in a platoon with young
left-handed hitter Scooter Gennett. Weeks was drafted second overall by
Milwaukee in 2003.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: Three players finished the season on the
disabled list. OFs Justin Ruggiano (left foot) and Ryan Sweeney (hamstring) have
been sidelined since late August. RHP James McDonald spent the whole season
sidelined with shoulder inflammation.UP NEXTCubs: Stocked with promising
prospects, Chicago finished 73-89 for the year, seven wins better than
2013.Brewers: When asked before the game, Roenicke said it was uncomfortable not
knowing about his immediate future. GM Doug Melvin said this weekend that the
fates of Roenicke and the coaching staff had not been decided. Roenicke is under
contract through next season.___Follow Genaro Armas at
