    Just a day after the Milwaukee Brewers were dealt a significant blow to their rotation with Freddy Peralta being placed on the injured list, slugger Hunter Renfroe suffered the same fate.

    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.

    For clarification, Milwaukee traded for Renfroe this past offseason. He still has one more year of arbitration remaining. We gave up a couple of prospects, but as of right now, it look like a steal to get rid of Bradley and his contract while getting two years of Renfroe in return.

    Losing Renfroe will hurt, but hopefully it's nothing serious. Sounds like they're expecting around two weeks.

    Yeah, the story is *technically* correct but it's missing the context of the trade. Thanks for the heads-up, I changed that sentence slightly.

    Words can't express how happy I am for Mark. Extremely well-deserved. He's been so dang good for Nashville this year. That 2021 injury is way back in the rear view mirror.
