The 30-year-old is having his best season in the pros with 18 home runs, 60 RBIs and .856 OPS on the season, which are all new career-highs for the lefty slugger. Jake Bauers has become the unsung hero of the Milwaukee Brewers' historic season. Now, it feels impossible to imagine this Brewers lineup without him. Simply put, he's dominating from an offensive perspective for a Brewers team that doesn't have a ton of power. 1 seed in the National League would've hurt quite a bit, so it's safe to say the Brewers are feeling relieved by this latest injury update.
