Here are three things that we keep an eye on the baseball world today:
1. Hoskins to be activated:
The Brewers is expected to activate the first baseman Rhys Hoskins of the wounded list today, as passed on by Sophia Minnaert. Hoskins, 32, has not appeared in a game since July 5 because of a thumb sprain. At the time of his injury, he worked reasonably well with a .242/.340/.428 line. He had connected to 12 homers and 12 Doubles in 318 plate performances with a running speed of 11.8%. The role of Hoskins is not entirely certain when he returns to the team in view of the performance of Andrew Vaughn Since he came to the club on July 7. The former no. 3 has general Pick .308/.370/.503 with a strikeout percentage of only 14.8% in 209 plate performances after his change of the environment. Maybe Hoskins could get some time at DH, but Christian Yelich Yesterday returned to the line-up at the position after taking care of a daily ailment. If Hoskins makes it from today’s line-up, he will compete against right-handed Jack Ladder (3.74 era) of the Rangers later tonight.
2. King to return:
The Padres welcome a remarkable veteran from the injured list: right -handed Michael King. King has only made 11 starts this year due to injuries, but was fantastic when he was healthy enough to take the hill, with an ERA of 2.81 and a strikeout of 27.5% in 57 2/3 innings work. While the Padres looks ahead to the late season in October, King is certainly one of their best starters and can even get the nod for game 1 of a playoff series. First of all, he will of course return to a regular rhythm in the last weeks of the regular season. His first opponent will be the Reds that send Zack Littell (3.81 ERA) To the hill against King at 6.40 pm local time in San Diego.
