Brewers Place Rhys Hoskins on IL, Recall Andrew Vaughn

News summary

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 2 sprain of his left thumb sustained during a game against the Miami Marlins. Although initial X-rays were negative, an MRI confirmed the severity of the injury, likely sidelining Hoskins for at least the rest of the first half of the season. To fill the void, the Brewers recalled Andrew Vaughn from Triple-A Nashville, a recent acquisition from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for pitcher Aaron Civale. Vaughn, the third overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, has struggled in the majors this year but showed offensive improvements in Triple-A, making him a hopeful solution for the Brewers' lineup. He is expected to share first base duties with Jake Bauers, with Vaughn bringing right-handed power similar to Hoskins. The Brewers are betting on Vaughn's rebound and a change of scenery to boost their first base production while Hoskins recovers.
