Rhys Hoskins News
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) said he will be full-go in spring training. "I'm pretty bored as a competitor," Hoskins said. The 30-year-old tore his left ACL in spring training with the Philadelphia Phillies last year and missed the entire 2023 campaign. Had the Phillies advanced further in the postseason last fall, Hoskins may have been ready to rejoin their lineup, and he hasn't had any setbacks in the offseason with his knee. He's now on the wrong side of 30, but Hoskins has moved to another hitter-friendly park and will see regular at-bats between first base and designated hitter in Milwaukee. The injury risk is apparent for fantasy managers after Hoskins missed all of last year, but if he's healthy, he should be a solid power contributor at the first-base position. In his 667 career big-league games, Hoskins has cleared the fences 148 times.
The Milwaukee Brewers are finalizing a two-year, $34 million deal with free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Tuesday. The Brewers have not confirmed the deal, and another source told MLB.com that the sides were still working on final details. If completed, the Brewers would fill their gap of a power bat at first while providing the 30-year-old a chance to redeem himself, as he missed all of the 2023 season with the Phillies after tearing his left ACL in spring training. Hoskins owns a .242/.353/.492 career slash line and hit 30 home runs in 2022 with the Phillies, so he would fit nicely with the Brewers from a fantasy perspective. The key will be seeing if Hoskins can rebound from his injury and still provide high-end power.
Rather than re-signing first baseman Carlos Santana, who turns 38 years old on April 8, the Milwaukee Brewers might be inclined to make an upside play for free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who has a career OPS 25 percent above league average and likely wants to re-establish himself on a short-term "pillow" contract after missing all of the 2023 season due to a torn ACL he suffered in spring training with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Brew Crew are deep enough in outfielders that they might not need a designated hitter, but their group is also extremely inexperienced, so signing someone like Hoskins might be a good idea. The 30-year-old would fit nicely in Milwaukee from a fantasy perspective, but everything will depend on how well he can bounce back from a full year off. In 667 career MLB games, Hoskins has been very productive with 148 home runs.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins enters the 2024 season in unfamiliar territory as the veteran slugger will play his first game for a franchise other than the Phillies. Hoskins missed all of 2023 with a torn ACL and will look to get back on track with the Brewers, who signed Hoskins to a two-year contract this offseason. For Milwaukee, it's a solid bet as Hoskins was one of the most productive power hitters in baseball between 2018 and 2022. Excluding the pandemic-shortened season, Hoskins swatted between 27 and 34 homers every year since 2018 and posted a slugging percentage over .450 in every season in that span. Hoskins provided steady power while displaying excellent on-base skills with a 13.5% career walk-rate and a career strikeout-rate that is also better than league average. Toss in a sky-high 48.4% fly-ball rate and Hoskins is primed for a bounce-back season in the hitter's paradise that is Milwaukee. There is, of course, some risk of a decline in production after not playing baseball for over a year, but at just 30-years-old, there's a good chance Hoskins can come back as strong as ever. With an average draft position outside the top-180 overall picks, Hoskins is a solid gamble for inexpensive power late in fantasy drafts.
