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.
