Brewers To Promote Recent Trade Acquisition As Rhys Hoskins Hits IL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Brewers have been hit by the injury bug so much already this year and just when it seemed they were getting closer to full strength, another injury strikes.

After Rhys Hoskins was placed on the IL with a thumb sprain, the Brewers have recalled Andrew Vaughn to fill in at first base.

Rhys Hoskins left the Brewers’ 3-1 win over the Marlins on Saturday due to a left thumb injury and now faces a lengthy stint on the injured list.  Initial x-rays were negative on Hoskins’ thumb, but Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the first baseman underwent an MRI that revealed a Grade 2 thumb sprain.
