Overview

  • An MRI confirmed that Hoskins has a UCL sprain in his left thumb, sidelining him for roughly six weeks.
  • Milwaukee placed Hoskins on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Sunday following his injury during Saturday’s loss at Miami.
  • Andrew Vaughn was recalled from Triple-A Nashville after being acquired from the White Sox on June 13.
  • In his first major-league plate appearance with Milwaukee, Vaughn hit a three-run homer off Dodgers All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
  • The Brewers plan to split first-base duties between right-handed Vaughn and left-hander Jake Bauers during Hoskins’s absence.
