Brewers' Hoskins Leaves Game With Thumb Injury

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins left Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins after experiencing left thumb discomfort following a tag at first base on a wide throw. Hoskins, who recently returned from ACL surgery, has been a crucial offensive contributor this season with a .242 average, 12 home runs, and over 40 RBIs. He hit his first triple since 2022 before being replaced by Jake Bauers in the fifth inning as a precaution. The injury is concerning for the Brewers, who are contending for the NL Central title and may need to rely on Bauers or recent first base acquisition Andrew Vaughn if Hoskins misses time. The severity of the thumb injury is still unknown, and the team is hoping for a quick recovery. Hoskins' absence could significantly impact the Brewers' postseason hopes.
