Vaughn's Hamate Fracture Sidelines Brewers First Baseman
Description
Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn suffers a fractured hamate bone, sidelining him for four to six weeks. Despite initial discomfort, he played in the season opener, but the pain worsened post-game. Vaughn, traded from the White Sox last July, had a breakout season with the Brewers, batting .308 with nine homers and 46 RBIs. To fill the void, the Brewers have called up catching prospect Jefferson Quero and will utilize Jake Bauers at first base. Hamate fractures have also affected other stars this season, but Vaughns setback is a blow to the Brewers lineup. However, they have options to maintain their momentum during his recovery.
