Brewers Activate Rhys Hoskins, Setting Up Three-Way First-Base Competition

Manager Pat Murphy points to Hoskins' leadership with Andrew Vaughn entrenched at first.

Overview

  • Milwaukee reinstated Hoskins from the injured list after his left thumb healed and his rehab assignment ended.
  • The club optioned infielder-catcher Anthony Seigler to Triple-A Nashville, leaving Andruw Monasterio as the lone backup infielder.
  • Vaughn has hit .308 with nine homers and 41 RBIs in 51 games since his June acquisition and started at first base on Tuesday.
  • Left-handed Jake Bauers is coming off a 6-for-12, six-RBI series against the Pirates and can also cover the outfield corners.
  • Hoskins said he is prepared for a more limited role, while the Brewers entered Tuesday at 89-56 and nearing a postseason berth.
