Rhys Hoskins DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins is taking the day off for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Jake Bauers will man first base and bat eighth against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Hoskins has hit the ball well in 2025, but he's struggled a bit of late, going 3-for-20 with two RBI, a run, three walks and 10 strikeouts in his last six games. It's a good time for the 32-year-old veteran to take a day off after starting in each of the team's last 32 games. Overall, he's hitting .282 (48-for-170) with seven long balls, 29 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases for the Brew Crew. Bauers won't have a ton of DFS upside near the bottom of Milwaukee's lineup against Bello, who he has hit .125 against in just eight career at-bats. Bauers has hit a modest .247/.341/.416 on the season with a .756 OPS.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a productive game in his team's 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo homer, and two runs scored to help lead his team to the win. The veteran first baseman's homer came off Baltimore closer Felix Bautista in the eighth inning, giving the Brewers a 4-2 lead. Hoskins is enjoying a solid season in 2025, hitting .297 with six homers, 16 runs, 26 RBI, and two steals across 145 at-bats. He's on a tear at the plate lately, hitting .409 with two homers and seven RBI over his past seven games.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins was perfect at the plate in a 9-5 win over the Guardians on Wednesday, going 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk, five RBI, and two runs scored. It was his fifth home run of the year to go along with a .292/.396/.462 slash line. Hoskins is bouncing back nicely after batting just .214 in 2024. Although his .261 xBA suggests he's due for batting average regression, it is still much better than the .202 xBA he posted last season. He's a solid corner infield or utility option for fantasy.
