The Milwaukee Brewers placed first baseman Rhys Hoskins on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring and recalled infielder/outfielder Owen Miller from Triple-A Nashville.
Hoskins departed Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after a single in the second inning.
“I just felt a little grab in the hamstring and I’ve kind of learned over the years, especially not to push soft-tissue stuff like that,” Hoskins said Monday.
Hoskins missed all of last season with the Philadelphia Phillies after surgery for a torn ACL in his left knee.
Hoskins, 31, was batting .233 with a team-leading nine home runs and 27 RBIs. In seven seasons, the first six of which were with the Phillies, Hoskins is a career .242 hitter with 157 home runs and 432 RBIs in 705 games.
Miller, 27, had one hit in 12 at-bats with the Brewers earlier this season. In parts of four seasons with the Cleveland Guardians and Brewers, he is a career .239 hitter with 15 home runs and 98 RBIs in 287 games.
