Brewers' Rhys Hoskins says he expects thumb sprain to keep him out for 6 weeks
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins says he expects to miss about six weeks as he recovers from a sprained left thumb. Hoskins said Tuesday he has an ulnar collateral ligament sprain as well as a 'little bone bruise.' 'I was told about six weeks,' Hoskins said before the Brewers played the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday night. 'Some are eight, some are four. I'd think pretty conservative was that six-week mark. At least that's what I'm going to have in my head and what my goal is to hopefully rejoin this team.' Hoskins hurt the thumb during the Brewers' 4-2 loss at Miami on Saturday and was placed on the injured list Monday. The injury occurred after he stepped off first base to catch shortstop Joey Ortiz's throw and tag Eric Wagaman. 'Just part of the game, unfortunately,' Hoskins said. 'The timing of the play didn't allow me to, I guess, tag him in a safer manner.' Hoskins, 32, is batting .242 with 12 homers and 42 RBIs in 82 games. Andrew Vaughn and Jake Bauers figure to split time at first base while Hoskins is out. Vaughn, who came over from the Chicago White Sox in a trade last month, got called up from the minors Monday and hit a three-run homer off Dodgers All-Star right-hander Yoshibu Yamamoto in his first plate appearance with the Brewers. Bauers is hitting .212 with five homers and 18 RBIs in 55 games. ___

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins has hilarious reaction to foul ball blast
The post Brewers' Rhys Hoskins has hilarious reaction to foul ball blast appeared first on ClutchPoints. During Thursday's closely contested 3-2 loss to the New York Mets at Citi Field, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins provided a moment of comic relief in an otherwise frustrating evening for the team. In the top of the seventh inning, with the score tied 1-1 and a runner on first, Hoskins turned on a 1-1 pitch from Mets left-hander David Peterson and launched what appeared to be a two-run home run down the left field line. Convinced he had gone yard, Hoskins emphatically dropped his bat and admired the blast. However, the ball tailed just outside the foul pole, leaving Hoskins frozen in disbelief and the count at 1-2. The situation worsened for Rhys Hoskins, as just four pitches later, he grounded into a double play, killing a promising rally. Hoskins finished the game 1-for-4 and is now batting .242 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs through 80 games in the 2025 season. His offensive production has been steady but unspectacular, and moments like Thursday's gaffe haven't helped public perception. He's previously drawn criticism from rival players, including a public rant from St. Louis Cardinals' Willson Contreras earlier this season. Advertisement David Peterson, the Mets starter, allowed just two runs (one earned) over 6.2 innings, marking the first time a Mets pitcher had gone six or more innings since June 17, also by Peterson. He struck out five, walked three, and gave up six hits. One of those runs was the result of a defensive miscue in the fourth when Hoskins hit a ball that skipped off Brett Baty's glove, later leading to Caleb Durbin's infield RBI single. The other Brewers run came via Andruw Monasterio's solo homer in the seventh, his first of the season, which trimmed the Mets' lead to 3-2. However, Peterson was pulled after that, and Ryne Stanek struck out Sal Frelick to end the frame. Stanek returned in the eighth to strike out the side. The Brewers failed to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities, stranding seven runners. The team managed just six hits, none with more than one per player, and extra-base hits came only from Joey Ortiz's double and Monasterio's home run. The Brewers came up short in the series against the Mets, slipping 1.5 games behind New York in the National League Wild Card hunt as the pressure builds. The team must now regroup quickly as they travel to Miami to begin a three-game set against the Miami Marlins, who have won 10 of their last 12 games.

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins suffers injury scare vs. Marlins
The post Brewers' Rhys Hoskins suffers injury scare vs. Marlins appeared first on ClutchPoints. Currently 3.5 games back from the NL Central lead, the Milwaukee Brewers are working to get back to the postseason once again. As they square off against the Miami Marlins on the road, the team is looking to win their second straight game in the series. However, the odds of that took a little bit of a hit when the Brew Crew lost first baseman Rhys Hoskins due to an injury. According to Milwaukee's official X (formerly Twitter) account, Hoskins left due to left thumb discomfort. Advertisement 'Rhys Hoskins left today's game with left thumb discomfort,' posted the official team account on their page. Hoskins was replaced by Jake Bauers at first base. The veteran spells Hoskins at first base and also plays in the corner outfield spots as well. The former Philadelphia Phillie had an RBI triple at the top of the second inning to open the scoring, so he had already made an impact on the game itself. Is the discomfort something minor that will allow Hoskins to return soon? Or is it indicative of something more? Brewers lineup can't afford to lose Rhys Hoskins for extended period of time Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images Since coming into the game for Hoskins, Bauers has gone 0-for-2. The veteran has played for a few different teams during his time in the majors and has routinely carved out at-bats for himself off the bench or in a platoon. However, if Hoskins is out for an appreciable amount of time, then first base will likely be Bauers' position to lose until Hoskins makes his return. Advertisement Based on the injury description, it doesn't sound like an injury that would keep Hoskins out for long. Perhaps he's back in the lineup as soon as tomorrow. Maybe it's a couple of days off for the slugger, then he's back at first base. For now though, there are certainly more than a few questions about the status of Hoskins' left thumb at the moment. Milwaukee's playoff chances are certainly better when Hoskins is back in the heart of their lineup.
