Before the injury, Hoskins was doing exactly what the Brewers brought him in to do: provide steady veteran pop. But since starting a rehab assignment for his thumb injury, Hoskins hasn’t reclaimed his place. Instead, he’s been stuck in an extended stint with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, where he’s slashing .275/.371/.471 over 14 games. Hoskins didn’t lose his job by playing poorly. His injury opened a door, but the players who walked through it haven’t given the Brewers any reason to look back.
