Eric Hosmer News
San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (finger) was taking on-field batting practice with his teammates on Tuesday evening. Hosmer has not appeared in a game since Sept. 7. The recent progress is encouraging and suggests he may be back in the lineup before the end of the week. He has posted a .886 OPS with eight homers and 32 RBI through 31 games in 2020, making him a valuable fantasy asset in all formats upon his return. If any fantasy managers preemptively dropped him, make sure you pick him up.
The San Diego Padres placed first baseman Eric Hosmer (finger) on the injured list on Tuesday after he fractured his left index finger on Monday. Hosmers move to the IL is no surprise as the team expects him to miss at least a couple of weeks with the injury, though the Padres remain hopeful that he can return before the end of the season. Recently acquired first baseman Mitch Moreland is likely to start in Hosmers absence, though the Padres may still seek to sit the 35-year-old against southpaws.
San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (finger) suffered a fractured left index finger in Mondays contest against the Colorado Rockies. Hes expected to miss 2-6 weeks. Hosmer struck out attempting to bunt in his first at-bat, fouling a ball off his finger. Its a tough loss for the Friars after Hosmer had been roaring to a .886 OPS with eight homers, 66 runs-plus-RBI and three steals. The recovery timetable makes him a drop in fantasy squads lacking roster flexibility. Mitch Moreland should get the bulk of starts in Hosmers absence. The 35-year-old is batting just .105 in 19 at-bats since joining the Friars but could be a cheap power source if he rediscovers his stroke with more consistent playing time.
