Keston Hiura News
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura is expected to see time in the outfield during spring training, according to Craig Counsell. The organization mentioned that Hiura's best chance to earn a spot on the roster is increasing his versatility. He already has the ability to play both first base and second base with the outfield being a possible option as well. Hiura has heavily struggled at the plate over the last two seasons. He's not worth targeting on draft day in most formats even if he makes the roster.
The Milwaukee Brewers have recalled infielder Keston Hiurafrom Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, and he is in the starting lineup for the game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Hiura has been a big disappointment thus far, slashing .166/.257/.302 with four home runs and a 39.4 K% over 59 games. Hiura has been up and down all season between the majors and the minor leagues, with his last stint ending on Aug. 17. He put up decent numbers in 51 Triple-A contests, slashing .256/.374/.465 but still struck out 33.5% of the time. With what he's shown so far, fantasy managers should leave Hiura on the waiver wire in all leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura, who is currently at Triple-A Nashville, was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday. Hiura was optioned to Triple-A on July 30 after the team acquired Rowdy Tellez and Eduardo Escobar. He hasn't appeared in a Triple-A game since this most recent demotion. It's been a nightmare season for Hiura. Over 59 games with the Brewers, he has slashed .166/.257/.302 with just four home runs and 76 strikeouts. There's a solid chance he'll spend the rest of the year at Triple-A as the Brewers have retooled their offense for the stretch.

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.
