Overview

  • Hoskins left Saturday’s game at loanDepot park in the fourth inning after tagging Eric Wagaman and immediately grabbing his left thumb in pain
  • Earlier in the game, he recorded a run-scoring triple off Cal Quantrill—his first since June 2022—extending his season reach to a .242/.340/.428 slash line
  • Jake Bauers replaced Hoskins on defense in the bottom of the fifth inning and will join Andrew Vaughn in the first-base rotation
  • Milwaukee acquired Vaughn last month in a trade for Aaron Civale to bolster depth following Hoskins’s previous knee and hamstring setbacks
  • The organization expects Hoskins to miss several days as his thumb recovers, activating contingency plans along the first-base depth chart
