Brewers Video
The Milwaukee Brewers signed Hunter Renfroe to a one-year, $7.65 million deal this offseason after being traded from the Boston Red Sox last offseason. Renfroe established himself as a power slugger for Boston producing to the tune of an .816 OPS.
Through 39 games this season Renfroe has slashed to the tune of a .266/.303/.503 line with nine homers. His 126 OPS+ is a career high, and he’s been a pivotal power contributor for the Brewers. Placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, it’s worth hoping the absence is a short one.
Mark Mathias takes over the roster spot for Milwaukee, and he’ll be making his first Major League appearance since 2020 when he gets into a game. The former 3rd round pick in 2015 had a .974 OPS for Triple-A Nashville this season and has more than earned another look. He’s by no means a power hitter, but his four longballs in 27 games has him on pace to threaten a career best total.
Milwaukee is unquestionably hoping Renfroe returns to action sooner rather than later. With a key rotation and lineup piece out at the same time, the big league club hopes to hold serve and fend off the St. Louis Cardinals.
