Rhys Hoskins, a former fan favorite with the Philadelphia Phillies, has landed on the injured list with a thumb sprain after joining the Milwaukee Brewers. His future in Milwaukee is uncertain, with potential trade discussions emerging, particularly with the Boston Red Sox, who are in need of a first baseman following Triston Casas's injury. Despite struggling this season, with a .242 batting average and 12 home runs in 269 at-bats, Hoskins's proven track record could pique the interest of teams looking to bolster their lineup as the trade deadline approaches.

The Brewers currently hold a wild card position in the NL, making the decision to trade Hoskins complicated, especially with an $18 million mutual option for next season. While the financial aspect may motivate the Brewers to consider trading him, their playoff aspirations may complicate matters. As the season progresses, how Hoskins's performance impacts the Brewers' decisions will be crucial for both his career and fantasy owners evaluating potential trades.
