Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Three hits, two RBI in win
Rotowire
Hoskins went 3-for-5 in Thursday's win over the Pirates with a double, two RBI and a stolen base.
Hoskins singled home William Contreras in his second at-bat to tie the game at 3-3 and later added an RBI double to give Milwaukee a one-run lead. The first baseman has recorded at least one RBI in four of his last six games, while Thursday marked his second three-hit effort of the season. With that said, he's still batting just .219 (16-for-73) in April with four homers and 13 RBI.

Rotowire
Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI during Saturday's 12-5 win against the Cardinals.

Hoskins has reached base in each of his past 11 games, though he's hitting just .227 during that stretch. However, his .807 OPS through 18 games on the season is more palatable.

Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Belts second homer
Rotowire
Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.
The 31-year-old slugger gave the Brewers an early 2-0 lead in the fourth inning when he ripped a hanging changeup from Chris Paddack into the second deck down the left-field line. It was Hoskins' second homer of the season and first in his new home stadium, and a quick start to his Milwaukee tenure has seen him go 5-for-17 through five games with five RBI, five runs scored and a 3:3 BB:K.
Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Clubs first homer with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Mets.
The 31-year-old first baseman took Luis Severino deep in the third inning for his first homer of the season and as a Brewer. Hoskins missed all of 2023 due to an ACL tear, but he slugged 57 homers in 263 games over the prior two years for the Phillies while slashing .246/.333/.489, and he's expected to return to that level of performance now that he's healthy.
