Tue Sep 9 | 18:15 | Rhys Hoskins Activated on Tuesday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Hoskins is back in the mix after missing over two months of action due to a left thumb sprain. This season, Hoskins is slashing .242/.340/.428 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI across 82 games. It'll be interesting to see how the Brewers handle first base with Andrew Vaughn playing well right now. The Brewers could use both of them and have one serve as the designated hitter. However, Christian Yelich would likely be pushed back into the outfield if they do that. Hoskins could lose some playing time down the stretch, but isn't worth rostering in anything more than deep leagues anyway. |

Mon Sep 8 | 18:18 | Rhys Hoskins Likely to be Activated on Tuesday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) is on the verge of returning from the 10-day injured list. Hoskins has joined the team for their road trip against the Texas Rangers on Monday. The right-handed slugger has a locker and is expected to be activated off the shelf ahead of Tuesday's contest. Hoskins has been sidelined since early July due to a left thumb sprain. His return will likely mean less playing time for Andrew Vaughn. At the moment, Hoskins is only worth rostering in deep leagues. Fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday for another update. |

Tue Aug 19 | 14:10 | Rhys Hoskins Starting Rehab Assignment on Tuesday |
The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Tuesday that they sent first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) on a minor-league rehab assignment to Triple-A Nashville. Hoskins is attempting to return from a Grade 2 left-thumb sprain and could rejoin the big-league roster as soon as this weekend if he avoids setbacks in the minors this week. However, the 32-year-old veteran has been sidelined since July 7, so it's also possible the Brew Crew want Hoskins to go on a little bit longer of a rehab assignment. Andrew Vaughn has been a nice under-the-radar pickup for Milwaukee and has been thriving with his change of scenery, so it's possible that Hoskins is involved in more of a platoon at first base when he's back with the Brewers. In his second year with the team, Hoskins was hitting .242 (65-for-269) with 12 homers, 42 RBI and 30 runs in 82 games before his injury. |

Wed Aug 13 | 19:42 | Rhys Hoskins on Track for September Return |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) has been on the injured list with a Grade 2 left thumb sprain since July 7. He has progressed to on-field hitting and defensive work as well. Hoskins is still on track to begin a rehab assignment in late August and could return to the Brewers' active roster in September. Andrew Vaughn has been filling in at first for the Brewers, posting a 1.055 OPS through his first 27 games, and has helped Milwaukee rack up a 12-game winning streak. When Hoskins returns, he could still slot in as the team's designated hitter after posting a .242 batting average with 12 home runs and 42 RBI before landing on the injured list. |

Wed Jul 30 | 00:47 | Brewers Plan Rehab Assignment For Rhys Hoskins In Late August |
The Milwaukee Brewers said Tuesday that they are hoping for first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) to be ready to begin a rehab assignment in late August as he recovers from a sprained left thumb, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Hoskins was placed on the injured list at the beginning of July. The 32-year-old was slashing .242/.340/.428 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI before the injury. While this timeline could put him back with the Brewers for the playoffs, it would leave little time for him to contribute to fantasy this season. Fantasy managers still looking for replacement production could turn to Andrew Vaughn, who is just 11 percent rostered and has been crushing the ball since joining the Brewers. |

Tue Jul 8 | 18:16 | Rhys Hoskins Likely Out Six Weeks |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) was recently placed on the 10-day injured list after getting hurt over the weekend. Hoskins is reportedly dealing with a Grade 2 UCL thumb sprain, which is going to sideline him for quite a while. The expectation is that Hoskins is going to be out for at least six weeks. The organization is hopeful to get something out of Hoskins during the month of August. That being said, Hoskins is looking like a cut-candidate in most formats that can't place him on an IL spot. In the meantime, Andrew Vaughn and Jake Bauers figure to split up the playing time at first base. |

Mon Jul 7 | 16:31 | Rhys Hoskins Placed on 10-Day Injured List |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb, per a team announcement. Hoskins injured the thumb in a collision at first base on Saturday and has since been diagnosed with a grade two sprain, so this announcement comes as no surprise. Hoskins has been a steady contributor for Milwaukee this season, slashing .242/,340/.428 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI in 318 plate appearances. Due to the severity of the sprain, this injury figures to keep him out of action for a considerable stretch of time. Mid-season trade acquisition Andrew Vaughn was called up as the corresponding move, and Vaughn looks to have an extended runway at first base for the Brewers in Hoskins' absence. |

Sun Jul 6 | 17:00 | Rhys Hoskins to be Placed on 10-Day Injured List |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) has suffered a Grade 2 left thumb sprain and will land on the 10-day injured list Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Hoskins suffered the injury on Saturday, forcing him to leave early in a loss to the Miami Marlins. He underwent an MRI that confirmed the sprain. The 32-year-old has batted a respectable .242/.340/.428 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI in 318 plate appearances, but he has slumped in recent weeks. Since June 1, Hoskins has hit .170 (15-for-88) with three homers and seven RBI. The Brewers started Jake Bauers in Hoskins' place in a 3-1 win over the Marlins on Sunday. |

Sun Jul 6 | 08:18 | Rhys Hoskins Unlikely to Play on Sunday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hoskins jammed his thumb while being tagged out in the fourth inning of Saturday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so it doesn't sound like too serious of an issue. However, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Hoskins is unlikely to play on Sunday and that the injury doesn't look good. Possibly, Hoskins heads to the injured list, but for now fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Jake Bauers figures to see an increased look at first base for a few days. |

Sat Jul 5 | 18:22 | Rhys Hoskins Exits Early on Saturday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hoskins suffered a left thumb injury while getting tagged out in the fourth inning. He was replaced by Jake Bauers at first base in the fifth inning. Hoskins finished this game 1-for-1 with a triple, one RBI, and a walk. The expectation is that Hoskins will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Hoskins as day-to-day, but they should check back for another update. |

Fri Jul 4 | 18:05 | Rhys Hoskins on the Bench Again |
Milwaukee Brewers slumping first baseman Rhys Hoskins finds himself on the bench yet again in Friday's series opener in Miami against the Marlins and right-hander Sergio Alcantara. Jake Bauers will make the start at first base and bat seventh. Hoskins has been benched in two of the last four games. The 32-year-old is in a rut at the plate right now, going 3-for-22 (.136) with no homers, one RBI, four walks and seven strikeouts in seven games since June 24. The cold stretch has brought his season line down to .239/.335/.418 with a .753 OPS. Bauers, who hits from the left side, hasn't been any better for the Brew Crew in 2025, going 23-for-108 (.213) with only five home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs and four stolen bases. He's also hitless in eight career at-bats against Alcantara with one RBI. |

Wed Jul 2 | 11:33 | Rhys Hoskins Out of the Lineup in Game 1 of Doubleheader |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins will take a seat in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the New York Mets. The Mets will deploy right-hander Clay Holmes on the mound in Game 1 and the less experienced Blade Tidwell in Game 2. Left-handed hitting Jake Bauers will start at first base in Game 1 in place of Hoskins. Look for Hoskins to re-enter the lineup for Game 2. He is slashing .238/.334/.418 on the season with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, and 29 runs scored. Him sitting Game 1 is likely due to the nature of having two games on Wednesday. |

Mon Jun 23 | 18:10 | Rhys Hoskins Resting on Monday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This appears to be a routine rest day for Hoskins who has started the previous 14 games. Hoskins hasn't been a great fantasy option this season, but he has been hitting the ball better lately. He has five hits, two doubles, two home runs, and three RBI over his last four games. Hoskins is someone that should be at least rostered in deep leagues. In his absence, Jake Bauers will cover first base and bat eighth versus right-hander Braxton Ashcraft on Monday. |

Sat May 31 | 23:25 | Rhys Hoskins Homers Twice, Drives in Six in Win Over Phillies |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins was among a few offensive stars in their 17-7 outburst against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Hoskins torched his former team, going 2-for-6 with a pair of three-run homers against left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Saturday's performance continued a nice bounce-back campaign for Hoskins, who had the worst season of his career in 2024 after leaving the Phillies for the Brewers in free agency. The 32-year-old slugger has opened 2025 with a .276/.374/.475 line, nine HRs, 35 RBI, and a healthy 13.1% walk rate in 214 trips to the plate. He'll go up against Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez on Sunday. |

Wed May 28 | 12:15 | Rhys Hoskins Getting a Breather on Wednesday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins is taking the day off for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Jake Bauers will man first base and bat eighth against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Hoskins has hit the ball well in 2025, but he's struggled a bit of late, going 3-for-20 with two RBI, a run, three walks and 10 strikeouts in his last six games. It's a good time for the 32-year-old veteran to take a day off after starting in each of the team's last 32 games. Overall, he's hitting .282 (48-for-170) with seven long balls, 29 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases for the Brew Crew. Bauers won't have a ton of DFS upside near the bottom of Milwaukee's lineup against Bello, who he has hit .125 against in just eight career at-bats. Bauers has hit a modest .247/.341/.416 on the season with a .756 OPS. |

Wed May 21 | 06:18 | Rhys Hoskins Doubles, Homers in Win Over Baltimore |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a productive game in his team's 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo homer, and two runs scored to help lead his team to the win. The veteran first baseman's homer came off Baltimore closer Felix Bautista in the eighth inning, giving the Brewers a 4-2 lead. Hoskins is enjoying a solid season in 2025, hitting .297 with six homers, 16 runs, 26 RBI, and two steals across 145 at-bats. He's on a tear at the plate lately, hitting .409 with two homers and seven RBI over his past seven games. |

Wed May 14 | 21:11 | Rhys Hoskins Homers, Drives In Five |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins was perfect at the plate in a 9-5 win over the Guardians on Wednesday, going 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk, five RBI, and two runs scored. It was his fifth home run of the year to go along with a .292/.396/.462 slash line. Hoskins is bouncing back nicely after batting just .214 in 2024. Although his .261 xBA suggests he's due for batting average regression, it is still much better than the .202 xBA he posted last season. He's a solid corner infield or utility option for fantasy. |

Mon Apr 21 | 02:19 | Rhys Hoskins Stays Hot, Delivers Combo Meal On Sunday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a big day at the plate on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a homer and a steal in a 14-1 smashing of the Athletics. Hoskins added two runs and four RBI to round out a dominant overall stat line. It was a much-needed game for the 32-year-old, who was off to a slow start before this one. He's now up to a .262 AVG with six runs, three homers, 12 RBI, and one steal over 56 at-bats. Hoskins has been heating up over the past week, and if he can return to form he should be a solid source of power in fantasy. Now is a good time to grab him and see if he can continue this hot stretch. |

It was a strong showing for Hoskins, who had been off to a slow start at the plate. He is now slashing .229/.345/.313 across 48 at-bats. Hoskins and the Brewers will aim to take the series in Wednesday's finale at home against Detroit. |

Thu Apr 10 | 14:30 | Rhys Hoskins, Sal Frelick Sitting On Thursday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins and outfielder Sal Frelick are not in Thursday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Colorado Rockies. Fantasy managers should expect both Hoskins and Frelick to return to the lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday evening. Hoskins has tallied just two hits over his previous four games and will cede first base duties to Jake Bauers, who will bat sixth. Frelick is riding a six-game hitting streak and has enjoyed a very productive start to the campaign. With Frelick sitting out, Jackson Chourio will shift to right field, opening up left field for Christian Yelich. The Brewers are a great lineup to target in DFS competitions this afternoon as they will face Colorado right-handed pitcher Ryan Feltner. |
