The Milwaukee Brewers continue to battle injuries in the 2025 season, with Rhys Hoskins suffering a Grade 2 sprain of his left thumb during a recent game against the Miami Marlins. As a result, Hoskins will be placed on the 10-day injured list, opening the door for Andrew Vaughn to step into the lineup. Vaughn, acquired from the Chicago White Sox in June, has shown promise in the minors, hitting .259 with three home runs and an .838 OPS in 16 games with Triple-A Nashville.

Vaughn fits the Brewers' needs perfectly as a right-handed power bat, mirroring Hoskins' role in the lineup. However, the exact amount of playing time he will receive remains uncertain, as the Brewers may opt for a platoon arrangement with Jake Bauers, who is a left-handed hitter. Given Vaughn's recent success in Triple-A, the Brewers are likely to provide him with ample opportunity to prove himself at the major league level.
