Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that people who have spoken with MLB investigators feel it's likely that "at least some" suspensions will be issued in the Biogenesis case.
MLB has begun interviewing players associated with the case, though they have yet to talk to Ryan Braun or Alex Rodriguez, seemingly because they want to gather enough evidence before confronting them. Interestingly, Heyman notes that MLB officials believe the league's Joint Drug Agreement may allow it to announce suspensions before any appeal process because the names involved have already been leaked. The MLBPA obviously wouldn't be happy with that. While Braun and Rodriguez have garnered most of the attention in the case, Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon, Yasmani Grandal, Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta, Everth Cabrera, Francisco Cervelli, Jesus Montero are among the other players who have been connected to the now-shuttered clinic.

Ryan Braun - OF - Brewers

Ryan Braun (thumb) will be shut down from baseball activities for at least the next week.

Braun is dealing with a nerve issue in his right hand, and the Brewers are hopeful that the symptoms will subside with some extra rest. If they don't, he'll just have to play through the ailment. "If it gets better, he'll start swinging again and then take BP," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Maybe when he comes off, it will go away. If not, he'll have to play and fight through it." Logan Schafer will see the bulk of the time in left field while Braun is out.

Ryan Braun - OF - Brewers

Brewers placed OF Ryan Braun on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 9, with an inflamed nerve in his right hand.

Braun has been dealing with the injury for quite some time now, and the team feels it's in his best interest to shut him down completely and let it heal. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Braun should still be expected to return before the end of June. Logan Schafer has been filling in while Braun was sidelined, and sees a substantial boost to his fantasy value while receiving everyday at-bats.

Adam McCalvy of MLB.com writes that there's a "strong possibility" that Ryan Braun (thumb) will be placed on the disabled list.

Braun was scheduled to take regular batting practice Friday, so it apparently didn't go very well. His thumb has been an issue for quite a while now, so it's best to just shut him down and let the injury heal. We should know more about his status soon.

Ryan Braun (thumb) is scheduled to take regular batting practice Friday.

Braun hasn't played since he left Sunday's game with a nagging thumb injury. If things go well in BP, it's possible he could be added to the starting lineup. However, if he continues to feel discomfort, the Brewers might just place him on the disabled list. Stay tuned.

Ryan Braun (thumb) is not in the Brewers' lineup Friday.

Braun hasn't played since exiting Sunday's game early due to his nagging thumb injury, which has been an issue for a month. It's a little silly that the Brewers haven't placed him on the DL at this point, but it appears that they'll hold out as long as possible before making a roster move. Logan Schafer is in left field Friday.

Ryan Braun - OF - Brewers

Ryan Braun said Wednesday that his right thumb feels the same as it did going into the series with the Marlins.

Braun missed his third straight start Wednesday and hasn't swung a bat since being lifted from Sunday's game in the third inning. The Brewers are hoping he'll be ready to go on Friday after the off day, but there are no guarantees. "He's not swinging a bat, so it's hard to say," manager Ron Roenicke said of Braun's status going forward. "I think the more we keep him off of it, the better. It's going to get better. It's just a matter of if four days is enough."

Ryan Braun (thumb) could be held out for all three games of the Brewers' series against the Marlins.

"We’ve talked about it," manager Ron Roenicke said about Braun possibly being held out for the series. "We’ll kind of see how it goes. There’s a chance that to get him right, we may have to do that." Braun will be available to pinch-hit Monday and the disabled list is not yet under consideration, but fantasy owners should be prepared to be without him for a few days.

Ryan Braun is not in the Brewers' lineup Monday against the Marlins due to soreness in his right thumb.

Braun departed Sunday's game in the third inning after experiencing renewed thumb discomfort. The left fielder is hoping to avoid the disabled list, but he is going to need regular days off until the thumb improves. Logan Schafer is starting in his place Monday versus Miami.

Ryan Braun left Sunday's game in the third inning with right thumb soreness.

It comes after Brewers manager Ron Roenicke admitted before the game that he was concerned about Braun's nagging thumb issue. The skipper had indicated that Braun will continue to play through the ailment but receive some extra days off. However, you've got to wonder if the disabled list is becoming increasingly likely.

Ryan Braun - OF - Brewers

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke admits to being worried about Ryan Braun's right thumb.

The thumb has been a problem for Braun for most of the season, and the pain just isn't going away. The slugger has been forced to alter his swing because of the issue, resulting in some lost power. Braun is likely to see more days off, but it sounds like he'll avoid the DL for now. "We’ve got to figure out what to do there," Roenicke said. "We’ve got to start going in the right direction with him, and sometimes it’s not. … I’m hoping we don’t have to [place him on the disabled list], but we start making gains and he says, ‘Yeah, I feel really good today,’ and then all of a sudden it’s a bad day and a setback."

T.J. Quinn of ESPN's Outside the Lines reports that Major League Baseball is preparing to suspend Ryan Braun, Alex Rodriguez and about 20 others connected to the Biogenesis clinic in Miami.

The Biogenesis mess had seemed to calm down over the last couple months, but apparently there could be a major fallout yet to come. Quinn is reporting that founder Tony Bosch is prepared to testify against the players connected with his clinic. He also adds that A-Rod and Braun could face 100-game suspensions because of their connection to Bosch and because they lied about PED use. Bosch has previously denied any knowledge of suspected PED distribution at Biogenesis but has apparently reversed course. Gio Gonzalez, who was connected to Biogenesis, will reportedly not be suspended because he only acquired legal substances. Quinn says suspensions could come within two weeks, though most players are expected to appeal.
