Brewers Hitting Coach LeBoeuf Undergoes Prostate Surgery, Away From Team

Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Al LeBoeuf is currently away from the team after undergoing prostate surgery, with no specific timetable given for his return. LeBoeuf, 65, is in his first major league coaching season after being named lead hitting coach last October, and has been with the Brewers organization for 16 seasons. Despite his absence, the Brewers will not bring up another coach from the minors as they have two other hitting coaches on staff, Connor Dawson and Eric Theisen. Players and management expressed strong support for LeBoeuf, praising his extensive knowledge, passion, and the positive impact he has had on both their hitting and personal outlooks. LeBoeuf had previously battled blood cancer diagnosed in 2024 and was declared cancer-free the following year, which has given him a unique perspective that resonates deeply with the team. Brewers manager Pat Murphy and players like Sal Frelick and Rhys Hoskins expressed relief that the surgery went smoothly and look forward to LeBoeuf's return.
