Keston Hiura News
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. It's been a rough year for Hiura, who was optioned to Triple-A early in May after opening the season with a .152/.247/.266 triple-slash line. It hasn't been any better since his return on May 24, as he is 2-for-29 with a double and 16 strikeouts over his last 11 games. Until he can show that he's swinging the bat well again, there's no reason to keep him rostered in any redraft format.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura (rest) is out of the starting lineup for a second straight night when the Brewers take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Since being recalled from Triple-A, Hiura has just one hit in 28 plate appearances and has posted an absolutely horrific 46.4% strikeout rate. Sadly, Hiura now finds himself on the short side of a platoon with Daniel Vogelbach who is hitting just .205 with only three home runs and nine RBI. Hiura can be dropped in most redraft formats. Dynasty league managers should remain patient with the once-prized prospect in the hope that he once again finds his way at the plate and realizes the promise he showed in 2019 when he hit .303 with 19 HR and 49 RBI over 314 at-bats.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is not shocking considering Hiura has one hit since returning to the MLB roster on May 24. He has been horrendous at the plate and is a drop candidate in most fantasy formats. Daniel Vogelbach will play first base and bat second on Thursday. He is barely hitting better than Hiura, so Vogelbach can be avoided in fantasy leagues as well.

It was pretty easy to predict the regression that hit Milwaukee Brewers second basemanKeston Hiura hard in 2020. He struck out at a high rate in his rookie season (30.7%) and benefited from an unsustainable BABIP (.388). In 2020, the strikeouts remained high and the BABIP came down, resulting in Hiura hitting just .212. He did still manage to club 13 homers in 246 at-bats -- a near 40-home run pace over a full season -- while attempting five steals, but overall he was quite a disappointment. That bad season only made a minor difference on his ADP, as Hiura is still being drafted in the top-70 picks. There are reasons to pull the trigger that early; second base is again pretty shallow and there are not many guys with this kind of power/speed combination. However, it really does not seem likely that Hiura will be anything but a black hole for your team's batting average, and that is hard to swallow in rotisserie leagues. Hiura is a good guy to draft if you are focused solely on power/speed upside, but otherwise the price just seems too high.
